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. .
