VOLCANOES OF THE THREE SISTERS REGION
Oregon's high Cascades, crowned by massive snow-capped
cones, hold age-old stories that have long intrigued geologists,
but it is only in recent years that these earth scientists have
turned their attention to the "heap of mountains" comprising
the Three Sisters group. Dr. Edwin T. Hodge was the first
geologist to study in detail the Three Sisters area, and out
of that study came the theory that the Sisters are remnants
of a giant volcano of ancient days, xnis ancestral vim-unu
Dr. Hodge called Mount Multnomah.
More recently. Dr. Howel Williams of the University of
California, author of publications dealing wun me kcuiuk"
histories of Crater lake, Mt. Thielsen and Newberry crater,
studied the Three Sisters area. His studies are incorporated
in a publication just off the press. This is "Volcanoes of the
Three Sisters Region, Oregon Cascades." Dr. Hodge and Dr.
Williams radically differ in their interpretation of the ge
ologic history of the Three Sisters area, but .in one thing
they agree : For magnificence of glacial scenery, for wealth
of recent lavas, and for graphic examples of dissected vol
canoes no part of the Cascade range surpasses the area em
bracing the Sisters and the McKenzie pass.
Dr. Williams believes that Dr. Hodge's ancestral Mult
nomah is a myth, and he has advanced a theory of mountain
creation that does not set up a single massive prehistoric vol
cano, as does the Hodge theory, but a great arc of volcanoes
comprising the North Sister, Little Brother, Husband, Wife, I
Sphinx and Broken Top. i ne raaiai dines ana conauii iiuiugs
of this mighty cluster ot volcanoes nave Deen iaia oare uy
glacial erosion, making possible the interpretation oi trie age
oJd story of the entire Three Sisters group of mountains.
Dr. Williams has determined that the mountains and
cones of the Three Sisters group are of varying ages, dating
back to broad shields of pliocene times. 1 he oldest mountains,
including the North Sister, Mount Washington and Broken
Top, are denuded cones. Volcanic activity continued through
out the centuries, andlt was in this later period that the main
cone of the South Sister was formed, Dr. Williams found. In
the final phase of volcanic activity, Bachelor butte came into
existence, and in the past few thousand years floods of blocky
basalt were erupted in the entire area. Nowhere did Dr. Wil
liams find evidence of an earth-shaking eruption that might
have destroyed mythical Mount Multnomah.
Dr. Williams' reference to the Mount Multnomah theory
follows :
In Hodge's opinion, the central part of the area we have
been considering was once occupied by a single, enormous
volcano, Mount Multnomah, built In Oligocene and Miocene
times and then decapitated either by explosion or by collapse,
leaving a vast caldera in its place.
It is no longer necessary to discuss the age assigned by
Hodge to the oldest rocks of the region, for subsequent work
has amply shown that none of the lavas of the High Cas
cades dates earlier than the Pliocene. What concerns us here
is the evidence he adduced in favor of the idea of Mount
Multnomah. "" ' ' '
Perhaps his judgment was chiefly influenced by the
roughly circular arrangement of the North Sister, Little
Brother, Husband, Sphinx, Wife, and Broken Top, which
suggested to him an ancient caldera rim. In other words,
Hodge considered these peaks as remnants left by destruc
tion of a single, central cone. The present study Indicates, on
the contrary, that each peak is the remnant of a distinct
volcano and that the lavas surrounding each dip both Inward
and outward with respect to the Imaginary caldera. Their
crudely circular arrangement is quite fortuitous.
Admittedly, much of the drainage in the region Is ap
proximately radial and some streams, in short stretches,
follow a more or less annular course. This arrangement,
however, should not be construed to imply the former ex
istence of a central volcano and caldera. On the contrary, the
stream pattern is precisely what might be expected, develop
ing as It did among a cluster ot overlapping cones of which
the highest were near the middle.
It seemed to Hodge that the dike systems were related to
what he termed the "central axis of Mount Multnomah"; on
the contrary, as we have seen, the dike-clusters are arranged
radially around the conduits of the Individual volcanoes.
Nor Is there any group of "central fragmrntal rocks" dipping
, outward beneath the lavas. Quite the opposite: each lava
shield was surmounted by a steeper cone of fragmental de
bris, formed not at an early stage, but during the waning
period of growth.
Finally, Hodge supposed that the coarse-grained rocks
found on several of the peaks "could only be found at the
base or far within the body of a great volcano." They
seemed to him to denote profound erosion of the ancestral
Mount Multnomah. In reality, these rocks are fillings of
separate volcanic conduits revealed by erosion of the en
closing pyroclastic cones. They crystallized at depths of only
a few hundred feet and owe their coarseness to an abundance
of volatiles. Moreover, most of the plug rocks are Just as
dense as the surface flows.
The conclusion Is therefore Inescapable: Mount Mult
nomah never existed In this region, it can only have been
produced by collapse or by explosion or by a combination
of these processes, and the catastrophe must have taken
place late In Pliocene If not in Pleistocene time. The evidence
should therefore be plain. But obviously no caldera can have
been formed by engulfment, for there Is no trace of a
boundary fault on the canyon walls of Sphinx, Separation,
and l.lnton creeks, precisely where it should be best exposed.
Could a caldera have been caused by explosion? Again the
answer Is unequivocally, No! The volume of material which
would have to he blown out to form even a shallow caldera
BO square miles In extent, from a peak once 15,000 feet in
height, staggers the Imagination. What became of the debris
from the explosions? It should form a gigantic sheet around
the supposed caldera. Actually, not a fragment Is to Ik- found!
The possibility that the debris has been completely removed
by erosion does not merit debate.

SHASTA BUTTE AND THE
MOUNTAIN CHAINS OF
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
Shasta Butte, by far the most
striking topographical feature of
northern California, rises abrupt
ly to a height generally estimated
at 18,000 feet above the sea. The
peak is a double, and both sum
mits are rounded, massive, and
loaded with eternal snow. Its
white cloud-like form Is distinctly
visible from points fn the Sacra
mento valley, more than one hun
dred miles distant.
This Butte Is not only the larg
est and grandest peak of the long
range which divides the sterile in
terior of the country with the fer
tile valleys of the Pacific Slope,
but It is also a great centre, from
which diverge the numerous
chains that render northern Cal
ifornia one mass of mountains. In
approaching It by theOregon trail,
both from the north and the south,
there is. Independent of the high
ridges, a gradual Increase in the
elevation of the country, for about
50 miles. The region near the base
Itself thus attains ah altitude of
about 4,000 feet above the sea; and
it is an interesting fact, that most
of the northern mines are found
upon this vast pedestal ot the
giant Butte.
Great confusion exists In the
nomenclature of the mountain
ranges in the vicinity. The name,
Cascade mountains, ceases at
Klamath river, but the range In re
ality divides.- One branch, called
the Siskiyou mountains, bends
westward nearly to the coast; the
other, uni-r the name of the
Western Chain of the Sierra Ne
vadas, winds to the southeast, and
unites with the main Sierra Ne
vadas. From the Butte, three steep
and thickly wooded ridges called
Little Scott's mountains, Scott's
mountains, and Trinity moun
tains, extend to the westward. The
two latter are branches of the
Coast Range of California. Shasta
Butte, although generally consid
ered a peak of the Western Chain
of the Sierra Nevada, is, in truth,
the great centre from which radl:
ate, besides several smaller ridges,
the Cascade Range, the Coadt
Range, and the Western Chain of
the Sierra Nevada.

Letter
By Peter Edsoa
(NEA Staff Cor respondent)
Invasion of Europe found the
office of war information achiev
ing Its absolute nadir of useful
ness Jo the domestic press and
radio. OWI Director Elmer Da
vis, held a press conference on
D-Day morning, but tike a lot of
other civilian officials in Wash
ington, he didn't have anything
Important to say, too. And later
in the day OWI admitted that it
wasn't doing much broadcasting
overseas because it figured the
people in fortress Europe would
be too busy to listen.
OWI's overseas division may
have a big job ahead of it in
propagandizing Europe and psy
chologically softening up Ger
many for the kill. It has .been
given a flock of money to do this
job in the net fiscal year. But
right now, with the invasion at
its most crucial point, the outfit
could not appear more futile.
' This drift into uselessness has
been going on gradually, like
creeping paralysis. A year or so
agoi director Davis tried a series
of weekly press conferences to
review the war and answer ques
tions. They produced nothing and
were discontinued.
Then when editor Palmer Hoyt
of the Portland Oregonian was
made director of OWI's Domestic
News Service, things got hot. Mr.
Hoyt came in on the principle that
OWI should make the army and
navy give out more news or quit.
He made progress.
There was a nice fight over
forcing release of the story on the
Nazis' sneak raid on Bari, Italy,
which the army held up a couple
of weeks, and the navy actually
outdid itself in getting fast cov
erage on Tarawa.
For his liaison man .with army
and navy, Hoyt picked George
Lyon, former Buffalo and New
York City editor, who gave a good
account of himself, though he
sometimes made the army and
navy press officer pretty peeved.
Lyon was finally sent to England
to help make arrangements for
U. S. newsmen assigned to cover
the invasion. On the clipper after
