An Olympics skier goes cross country as he heads for the slopes and another day of practice. At right a snow plow starts the day by clearing off excess snow that fell during the night. The icicles give testimony to the low temperatures. (UPI Telephoto) Pennsylvania produced 60 million tons of bituminous coal in 1957.

Many Unusual Features Of Ocean Off Oregon Coast Are Reviewed Corvallis-The vast expanse of ocean off the Oregon coast looks flat as the rangclands of eastern Oregon but in re ality hides peaks and depths that equal any of the state's mountains for size, according to an Oregon State college oceanographer. After noting the record 7 mile ocean bottom dive made in late January by U.S. Navy scientists in the Marianas, Dr. Wayne V. Burt put together some little-known facts on the ocean floor off Oregon. About 300 miles west of the mouth of the Columbia, he pointed out, is Cobb Sea mount. More spectacular than Mt. Hood, it rises from the ocean floor 9,000 feet below . within 90 feet of the surface. Canyon at Mouth There's a canyon outside the mouth of the Columbia too. Its steep sides drop some 2,000 feet in one mile and the canyon known as Astoria Canyon - is 4,000 feet deep. Forty-five miles off Tilla mook on the slope where the coastal shelf slants off into deep water, mountains com parable to Mary's Peak are found. The ocean floor itself has a rather gentle slope in the deep water off Oregon. Burt noted. The ocean "shelf ex tends out most places about 20 miles with water only about 600 feet deep. Then, the shelf breaks off and slopes rapidly down to depths of 1,000 fathoms, or 6,000 feet in the next 30 miles. About 400 miles off the coast, the bottom is 2,000 fathoms or 12,000 feet down. 'Drop in Bucket' What's known about the ocean off Oregon though is "only a drop in the bucket" of the great unknown, Burt said. OSC oceanography re search started six years ago represents the first compre hensive studies ever made of Oregon's 350 miles of coastal water - fourth longest coast line of any state. When the new $250,000 OSC oceanography research vessel is built late this year, the way will be open to new and de tailed findings, Burt added. Funds for the vessel came from the Office of Naval Research.
