The importance of the Three Sis
tera area to the people of Eugene
will be discussed by Dr. Edwin T.
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.
