A SICKS9 lM WAiny I :K PR0DUCTr victory rM GEOLOGIST ILLS CRATER LAKE DATA BEFORE RIM TRIP All available data concerning Crater Lake and the phenomena of the smoke or gas clouds seen over the lake last summer will be studied by F. W. Cater, geolo gist of the United States Geologi cal Survey, while awaiting de velopment of plans to travel to the lake, it was stated today. Cater arrived In Medford Satur day and is conferring with Super intendent E. P. Leavitt. Cater has stated that an In strument for registering sound will be installed In the waters of the lake, since it Is thought this will be more apt to detect any volcanic activity than a seis mograph, first contemplated. The sounding device is to be placed in about 10 feet of water, and sounds and movement will be conveyed to a revolving drum similar to that In a seismograph, which will make a line record of the sound or vibrations received. Time Required It Is expected that it will take considerable time to assemble the needed apparatus, and since the lake area is blanketed with sev eral feet of snow, officials must await delivery of a sno-cat be fore trips to the lake rim can be started, according to Leavitt, Neither Chief Ranger Carlyle Crouch, recently released from the army, or his assistant, Clyde Gilbert, still in the army, are available for the project at this time. Before coming to Medfo'd Ca ter conferred with Howell Wil liams, head of the department of geology.
