Hodge, professor of economic geology, at the regular uouu meeting of the Eugene chamber of commerce tomor row. Ir HihIko hopes that the area will be recogniml by the national gov ernment and made into a natioual monument, and will be developed as a summer aud winter play ground of na tional and even world-wide note. 'The project if undertaken by the people of Eugene would probably mean to Eugene in the tourist way what the railroad shops would mean in an Industrial way." said Eugene Chad wick, secretary of the chamber, iu discussing the matter. The area is the most remarkable on the coast for its size, according to Dr. Hodge, and has more nntural wonders than any place in the Vnited States except the Yellowstone, There are titXXI acres of friendly Glaciers, aud if the skyline trail highway can be built on automobile can drive to the very foot of the clacicrs. The glaciers number 17. 'A crater lake half a mile in di ameter at an elevation of lU.Ot) feet is probably the highest crater lake in North America," Dr. Hodge states. Besides the lake there aro 70 square miles of recent lava flow, and over ,ri0 volcanic cones, some not over a few hundred years old. The place is the caldera of ancient Mount Multno mah, probably the largest mountain in ! the world, and now including four of the highest mountains iu Oregon. j The area ia the southern limit of I glacintion in the United States, so it would be admirable for both a summer playground for tourists and a winter playground similar to the European syBtem, Dr. Hodge says. It ia also known for its mountain parks, prob ably the most accessible on the coast, being only three and a half hours' drive from Eugene. The people of Bend aro sold to the idea of developing the district," Dr. Hodge states. Community singing will also be a feature of the chamber meeting to morrow, and a special program will be arranged by the music committee. corporation's nt at Orange, N.
