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."

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.
