It is in the North Paulina foothills, about 15 miles south of Bend. Note the nearly perfect arch of the cave, picture of which was taken by Bob Greenlee, Bend spelunker, New charcoal caves found, but mystery still unsolved By Phil F. Brogan Bulletin Staff Writer Still unsolved is the mystery of charcoal caves of tlie Des chutes country. Not only is the mystery un solved, but it has been intensi fied by the discovery of more lava caverns holding great masses of charcoal. Three of these caves have been found, all roughly in the Arnold Ice Cave region some 12 miles south of Bend. The first of these caverns, given the name Charcoal Cave, was discovered in 1928 by the late Walter J. Perrv, Deschutes National Forest lurrfcerman, na turalist and explorer. Perry called the attention, of Dr. L. S. Cressman, then hesd of the University of Oregon depart ment of anthropology, to the presence of burned wood deep within the cave. Dr. Cressman reported on the find in 1938, after visiting the cave. Most startling discovery made by Dr. Cressman and Perry in connection with their study of the original Charcoal Cave was the presence of remnants of some small pines that had been cut with a stone axe. It was determined, through a study of the annual rings of growth and the application of cross dating, that the trees were cut prior to the year 1370. Trees from which were burn ed in Charcoal Cave apparently had been cut in the area, car ried to the opening of the cave, dumped to the lava floor, then carried back under the rocky rim of the cavern. There the wood was burned. But why? This was the ques tion asked by Dr. Cressman, who noted that the area near the opening of Charcoal Cave had been an old camping ground. Artifacts and many ob sidian chips were found there. Dr. Cressman advanced sev eral theories: The wood could have been cut and bumed with in the cave to melt ice, to pro vide water for the wandering tribes. But. it was pointed out, there was a spring only six miles distant. . Iron deposits near Astoria may be worked PORTLAND (UPI) - Gov. Mark Hatfield Thursday night envisioned a $12 million plant with satellite industries as a re sult of development of black sand iron deposits near As toria. The Bunker Hill Co. of Kel logg. Idaho, has been prospect ing the sands at the mouth of the Columbia River. Hatfield told about 270 per sons at the annual dinner meet ing of the East Side Commercial Club he had been told that a $12 million plant would be con structed if Bunker Hill found iron deposits of sufficient ex tent and grade. The governo said an answer should be known in about a year. He said there were good rea sons to expect satellite indus tries if the iron deposits were developed. The governor said the state's per capita income Increased by 5.4 per cent during the first six months of 1963, compared to a national figure of 5.2 per cent. BULL REPRESENTS HOGS LONDON (UPI) The legal firm of Bull and Bull repre sents British Scieace JOiawW Or, Dr. Cressman said, the underground lava chamber could have served as a cere monial room a sort of kiva. There is no evidence that Charcoal served as a habita tion. Scarcely any artifacts or kitchen midden material was found in the debris. Dr. Cress man noted the charcoal was virtually ashless. Recently, Bob Greenlee. Bend spelunker, when investigating the little-known lava caverns in the northern Paulina foothills explored another cave holding a huge amount of charcoal. This was from wood that also had been carried to the cave mouth, tossed into the tube opening, then carried back in to the twilight zone ot a side cave. There the wood was burn ed. In the same area Is a third charcoal cave. Greenlee did find some bones, but apparent ly these are not ancient. The cavern in which Greenlee found the charcoal has been known for some time, but was unnam ed. It is being called Stout Cave. It was mapped by Wen dell Stout who noticed the cave when flying over the area for the State Game Commission. Differing from the original Charcoal Cave, the new cavern holds pictographs, possibly painted on the lava walls by the ancient people who for some unknown reason bumed a huge amount of timber back in the cavern. r I- ONE-FOURTH OFF ALL MIRRORS, FROM NOW TILL CHRISTMAS!

UPI news dispatch from Moscow. It was 8 o'clock In the morn ing on Nov. 4, 1956, and over Budapest Radio came the des perate cry: "Help Hungary! ... Help us . . .Help us!" Just before that had been the playing of the Hungarian na tional anthem, and before that an announcement by Premier Imre Nagy. ". . .Soviet troops attacked the Hungarian capital with the open purpose to overthrow the legal government," he said. "The Hungarian troops are in combat. . .This is announced to our people and to the world." Story Of Courage The following days were a story of human courage raised to incredible heights, of treat ery compounded, and, in the West, a time of agonizing in decision. The reappraisals and the harsh recriminations for what might have been would come later.

It was an unarmed popula tion against 200,000 Soviet troops and four to five thou sand Soviet tanks, and before it was over more than 20,000 Hungarians were to die. These were some of the memories evoked by the dis patch sent from Moscow seven years later. Announces Withdrawal This had been the sequence of rapid-fire events: Oct. 27-28 Nagy announces Soviets had agreed to immedi ate withdrawal of Russian troops from Budapest and ne gotiations for withdrawal of troops from the whole of Hun gary. Oct. 29-30 Napv ends single party rule, forms an all-party government and promises free elections. The new government includes Janos Kadar. Nov. 1 Nagy repudiates the Warsaw treaty and proclaims Hungary's neutrality. Nov. 3 On this night, on a Soviet guaranty of security, Hungarian military leaders meet with the Soviets to nego tiate withdrawal of Soviet troops. The Soviets arrest the Hungarian leaders and launch their attack. It was the same treachery which had been employed against Polish mili tary leaders in 1945. Nov. 4 Joseph Cardinal Mindzenly takes refuge in U.S. legation in Budapest (where he 1 ! 3 CORP. J in Hungary sun remains), boviets rccog- nize turn - coat government of Kadar. Nagy takes refuge in ' Yugoslav Embassy. Nagy Tricked It was on Nov. 22 that Nagy was tricked from the Yugoslav Embassy and June 17, 1958, that his executioners announced his death. There were other far-reaching results. India, quick to con demn the Israeli - Anglo French invasion of Egypt, final ly came to realize the brutal ity of the Soviet attack on Hun gary. President Tito of Yugo slavia condemned the Soviet action as a "mistake" and a new period of coolness resulted between the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. But more important, the heroism of the Hungarian free dom fighters frightened the Soviet leaders and did gain a relaxation of sorts for all of the Soviet European satellites. I- The Bulletin, Friday, December 13, 1963 Miners' revolt in Bolivia spreads to new province LA PAZ, Bolivia (UPD-The tin miner's revolt spread to Co chabamba Province Thursday where two more technicians were reported to have been kid naped. Miners at Catavi, in Po- tosi Province, already hold at least 19 hostages, including four Americans. Government forces mean while grouped for a possible frontal attack on Catavi, about 150 miles from here, where re bellious miners last Friday took hostages in an effort to pressure the government into releasing three Communist labor leaders it holds on murder and fraud charges. Miners ignored a 48-hour gov ernment ultimatum to surrend er their captives which expired Wednesday night, and authori ties said the matter was now a military and no longer a civilian problem. Reports reaching La Paz did not identify the two new hos tages oilier than to say they were "technicians," generally foreigners, seized by miners at Colquiri in the general Ca tavi area. Reports from Catavi said tension had eased some what with withdrawal of army troops from the immediate area. In La Paz, however, Interior (police) Minister Jose A. Arce said he and Defense (Army) Minister Gen. Luis Rodriguez Bidegain were taking charge of operations. Arce did not rule out the use of force as a solu tion to the apparent deadlock over the hostages. Arce would not say what ac tion the government plans. Rod riguez had said earlier, how ever, that "necessary action to recover the territory held by the representatives of anarchy" would be taken if the ultimatum were ignored. The miners rlso were prepar ing for action, iidio broadcasts Wednesday nlnl urged them to "be ready with dynamite" the miners' favorite weapon to meet any effort by troops to take Catavi. At the tin-mine center of Hu anuni, between Catavi and the government's forward headquar ters in ururo. Communist union leaders broke into a mine sup ply shed and stole 16 boxes of dynamite, with caps and fuse. Father Andrew Kennedy of St. Louis, Roman Catholic vicar general of Bolivia, went to Oruro Wednesday to try to ar- range the release of the hos ' tages. He conferred with mine-1 uiiiiiM siiaiwi union leaders without apparent result. The University Students' Fed eration also tried to mediate the dispute. President Victor Paz Estenssoro told a student delegation at an hour-long meet ing Wednesday that there could be no negotiations until the min ers freed the hostages and re turned to work. Foreign diplomats stationed here presented a protest to For eign Minister Jose Fellman Ve- lnrge Wednesday night, saying the seizure of the hostages two of whom are U S. Hinlnmatip nf. ficia!s-"conflicts with interna- tional standards of conduct. The miners have insisted they will not release the hostages until three Communist union of ficials are freed. He taught his class too well RED BANK, N. J. (UPI) - History teacher Thomas M. Perry taught his senior class about the labor movement so well that he found himself fac ing their organized bargaining unit Thursday. Thomas teaches at Red Bank High School and describes him self as a "fairly tough and de manding teacher." That could be the reason the 31 members of the class showed up Thursday organized as "Unit ed Slaveworkers, Local 211." Some even carried placards which said ' Boss Unfair. The students presented Thorn as with a seven-point petition in cluding demands for a writters cramp break, more regard for the fact that students have other subjects, an end to ex cessive homework, a shorter term paper and more time to do it. Thomas went alone with the practical lesson in labor nego tiations and sat down with the negotiating committee. After deliberating, he granted one of the demands to give stu dents more time to complete their term papers FAMILY DINNER FOR 3 Tnkc your rhoica ol any threa family-style dtalies. mini uuh selec tion of over ten different Clitnebe luodi.
