PAGE FIVE HAS GROWN FAST IN RE(M YEARS One Can in Every 38 Opened by Mrs. America Now Comes From State Next to Lumber in Employment PORTLAND, Aug. 8. (AP) The state's canning Industry haa pro gressed so rapidly In three decades there la one chance In 38 ever? time Mrs. America gets out her can opener the cut the lid from produce packed In Oregon. In 1021 the chances were only one In 40 and before the war well. Ma America put up moat of her food stuff herself In glass Jars. A bulletin released by the state planning commission today valued the Industry at $17,651,421 annually. The average monthly employment was es timated at 8.841 with thousands of persona supplementing regular In come with cannery occupation! dur ing ths peak summer period. Talus Mounts, Oregon produced 2 43 per cent of the nation's canned food In 192) and 3 03 per cent In 1035 Although the state's share In the national output did not Increase greatly In the 14 years, the actual volume mounted 103 per cent. California and Washington have expanded, too. Fourteen year ago Washington produced 3.33 percent of tht national total nut tn 1935 the figures jumped to 3.35 per cent Cal ifornia retained a dominant position but droppped from 39.4 per cent In 1931 to 34.9 per cent. California's volume Increased 59 per cent and Washington 183 per cent. Only the lumber Industry employed more wags earners than packing plants In Oregon three yeara ago. -The state canned 44.651 cases of vegetables s.nd 1,186.032 cases or fruit In 1931 compared with 1.250. 000 cases of vegetables and 4,500.000 cases of fruit In 1935. Pears Top List. Pears, runes, berries, apples and cherries. In the order named, are the principal fruit packs. Beans, peas, pumpkin, beets, carrot, tomato, corn, green asparagus lead the vegetable class. Prunes Increased from 88.332 cases In 1931 to 1,670,544 cases In 1935. The pea pack was Insufficient to merit consideration In 1933 but by 1935 It reached 288.541 cases and haa made comparable strides In the last three seasons. "Because of the. fortunate rombl nation of soil and cltmate, the exist ing arable land Is sufficient to meet the expanding raw material needs of the canning Industry," the report said. " Furthermore, the practice of irrigation In the WUlametts valley has resulted In astonishing yield In creases. Reclamation work In eastern Oreson will make available consider- able acreage to further Increase pro ' duction of fruit and vegetables." 23 Spaniards To Die For Treason MADRID, Aug. 8.

LAKE SOUNDINGS ARE BEING MADE BY CRATER STAFF CRATER LAKE (8pl) Members of the naturalist staff of Crater Lake national park, directed by John S. Doerr, Jr.. are conducting the scien tific research project of sounding Crater lake. Mr. Doerr, park naturalist, points out that while accurate soundings have been made In the past, they are not sufficiently numerous vin dicate any great amount of detail In regard to the features of the crater floor. Detailed information on the features submerged by the water of the lake la needed In order to complete the geological story of the origin of the crater. The first sounding of Crater lake was done on August 4, 1869, by J. M. Sutton, a resident of Jacksonville, who is credited not only with making the first sounding of the lake but also with giving the lake its nams. He was also a member of the party that put the first boat on the lake. To this party, consisting of J. M. Sutton. David Linn. J. D. Fay. Ueut. B. B. Th or burn and J. B. Coats. goes the honor of being the first to land on Wlsard Island, the vol- canlo cone rising approximately 800 feet above the surface of the water. On returning from the Island the party made one sounding. Under the dat of Augurt 28. 1809. Mr. Sutton addressed a letter to the editor of the Oregon Sentinel In which the sounding Is described as follows: "We had Intended to circumnavi gate the lake and sound it at dif ferent points, but owing to the frail nature of our boat, and the strong wind blowing at the time, we were compelled to forego this desirable object . ' We. however, made one sounding about a half mile from the Island, and found It 550 feet deep. Could we have reached the deepest part, no doube we would have found It 1.500 to 3.000 feet deep." In the summer of 1688 the United Ststes geological survey made 166 soundings tn Crater lake. The work of preparing the boats for the work and the sounding was under the supervision of the late William Glad stone Steel, known far and wide as the "father of Crater Lake national park.' As the result of the work of Mr. Steel and the United States geo logies! survey party headed by Capt. Clarence I. Dutton, the maximum depth of Crater lake was established as 1.996 feet, being the deepest body of water on the continent of North America. In addition to determining the lake's maximum depth, the sound ings made In 1886 Indicate the exist ence of one or more volcanic eones submerged by the waters of the lake. In carrying on the soundings this summer with equipment lent by the United States geological survey, Mr. Doerr does not anticipate that a depth greater than 1,996 would be found. He does expect to make a sufficient number of soundings to determine definitely the location snd height of submerged cones and also to determine whether there are other features on the crater floor and the submerged portions of the crater wall which will be significant in working out the story of the origin of the crater. So far this summer. Mr. Doerr and the naturalist staff have con fined their sounding activities to the south end of the lake. To dat the maximum depth reached has been 1,568 feet. 4 9x oirla Drown LA ROCHELLE, France. Aug.
