Br SH HOLLIHCHWORTH This is a bid to make Cra ter lake the Eighth Wonder of the World. The other seven belong to the ancient world, but the phenomenon of this mysterious landlocked lake and its formation was known to human beings even before the pyramids were built. Crater lake belongs to Ore centennial period, for it was discovered by John W. Hillman. a prospector from Jacksonville, in 1852. It was named Blue lake. And this it is todav. There is no other blue even in the Mediterran ean quite as alluring. A story is told of the wom an who wanted a cup of that blue water and when she ob tained it, she found it just like any other water. And that is what is happening by de grees to the legend of Crater lake, formed when Mount Ma nama towering in me cnm nt volcanic neaks along the Pacific slooe. "blew its top' and sank in the pit gouged out by a blast furnace action on every side. Gradually, the story is be ing pieced together. Indian legends account for the fact that such a mountain existed in the dark past and when the furv of the volcanic storm burst forth, the sky for many miles was covered by the cloud of cinders and ash. Then the mountain, 17 cubic miles of it, disappeared. The surrounding crater and the peaks nearby, called par asitic cinder cones, attest to the fearful battle as the "drag on's teeth" grew into an army to dethrone Mazama, the mon arch. The date of this event is now established at 6,700 years ago. This is learned from what is Known as tne caroon i test, as well as from a test of the lava gasses. Charred wood indicates that trees grew in the region at the time. The mystery of the lake is almost as much a mystery to day as it was to the Indians. How or when it formed can only be surmised. No one knew its depth and the story persisted that it was bottom less. Crude soundings disclose a depth of 2,000 feet. The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey is on the job now making a careful check of the depth at every point for an accurate description of the lake bottom. They are us ing sonar electronic equip ment and are' plotting their soundings over the entire area. The lone peak standing in the lake is Wizard Island. But after a week of recordings, it is disclosed that a. number of new cones similar to the one above the surface, have been found. There is little chance of the lake sinking to reveal these new "islands." According to National Park rangers, the level is virtually constant, notwithstanding snow and rain in abundance. The level is a little lower this year but over the years, it remains vir tually the 'same. Only once in winter has the lake frozen over entirely, the records show. That was in 1949., The water is always cold - about 50 degrees now. There are fish in the lake and fishing is one of the diver sions of visitors. ' Another mystery which has puzzled geologists is the fact that only seven of the 17 cubic miles of mountain ean be ac counted for. The nearest guess is that it blew away in the form of ash. There is no quartz in the debris. It is mostly igneous in the form of hematite, pumice. obsidian and several glassy and fine grained formations along with conglomerates. Molten material, it is be lieved, drained out after the explosion, -which, from its magnitude, dwarfs the devas tation of hydrogen and A bombs. A little mystery that has bothered the inhabitants of the Rogue valley is the ques tion: Does the Rogue river have its source in Crater lake? The best evidence shows that springs in the park form the headwaters of the Rogue. But this is not positive and exper iments are being considered to determine whether the lake water seeps underground to feed the Rogue. There is much interesting lore about Crater lake that can be learned only by a visit to the park where informed attendants tell the story in all its details. The Blue Star Mothers es corted a parry of 24 members to Crater lake last Wednesday. A picnic lunch was served under the trees at the lake. The 7,000 foot altitude was not noticeable except in climb ing. The 80 degree tempera ture was a welcomed relief. Mike Prevost, of special services was in charge of the expedition. Eddie Walters made good time in his driving and stopped long enough to view the world's largest sugar pine, seven feet across, at the base, on the return trip. Other trips to Crater lake are planned. It has been almost too hot for research, but a little of it was done at the library to ac count for the. prevailing hot wind blowing across the des ert making ' it necessary to close the windows in order to keep cool. Westerners call this type of wind a chinook, and on looking it up, it was dis covered the term originated in Oregon. Such winds came from the direction of -the Chi nook Indian' tribe, hence the name. .
