Nutter Associated Press Staff Writer. BONNEVILLE, Ore., June 1. (AP) While the federal government Is ex cavating here for a $31,000,000 power and navigation dam across the Co lumbia river, scientists are scanning each scoop of rubble for traces of pre-hlstorlc civilization. Business interests visualize an In dustrial empire founded on prospec tive cheap hydro-electric power from the dam. about 35 miles uprlver from Portland, Ore. Timber and grain Interests of the Inland empire the rich area drained by the Columbia river contemplate lowered freight rates through Im proved navigation. Hope To Find Belles But scientists hope to uncover relics, forming building blocks with which to reconstruct in an academic sense, the pre-hlstorlc empire that once flourished there. One of the most Intriguing pros pects for the scientists Is the neces sary excavation of Indian burial mounds on Bradford Island In the middle of the river. Whether the burials were during recent years or possibly thousands of years ago, they hope to determine. On their epoch-making trek across the continent to the Pacific north west. Lewis and Clark, the govern ment's commissioned explorers visit ed Bradford Island. In their pains taking log, Bradford Island Is de scribed in detail, but burials are un mentloned. It Is believed there have been no burials on the Island since then. Rich Relic Source Such bones as may bo unearthed will be studied, but probably will not be placed In museums. The Cascade tribe on the Yakima. Indian reserva tion In Washington has petitioned that the remains be transferred to another burial spot up the river. Bradford Island, an old fishing ground for Indians, has been one of the northwest's richest sources of Indian relics. The Smithsonian In stitute, the University of Washington, University of Oregon and Oregon State college all wish to scrutinize and preserve the discoveries fo? an thropological studies. Workmen have been asked to turn over to a committee from those Insti tutions alt the bones, stones and artlfacta unearthed. The dam itself will have the high eat single lift lock in the world. At low water ships will be lifted 86 feet to a narrow lake formed to back water 44 miles upstream for a 30-foot channel to The Dalles, Ore. lAke Not Wide At most places the backwater lake will not be very wide. The Columbia narrowa to a gorge and at high water attains a velocity of as miles an hour where It spllthto swirl past Bradford island. No (llmsy structure would hold the tremendous pressure. Power will be developed by 10 tur bines, each capable of producing 67.000 horse power. Only two will be bu. . at the outset. At present about 1000 men are doing preliminary work at the dam and damslte. peak em ployment will run around 3000. Major C. P. Williams, United States district engineer in charge, estimated. The largest contract let was for more than S8.900.000. awarded this week for instruction of the huge spillway, txcavation work to cost about 1.350.000 was contracted earlier. HAVANA, June 1. (AP) The American-owned paper company, Companta Papelera. in the suburb of Marianao was destroyed by fire early today with an estimated loss of 1600.-000. Bases Built On Frontier Would Permit Covering All Strategic Points, Is Pointed Out by Alarmists By Samuel Dashtell United Press Staff Correspondent. PARIS (UP) Death rockets may win, or lose, "the next war," accord ing to alarmist articles in the French press. Following Investigation of reports i German rearmament, certain French newspapers, and particularly those near the Rhine frontier, have begun a campaign to awaken the war and air mlnisteries to the actual perils of Germany's warlike preparations. Seek Information Special emphasis la placed on the construction of rockot bases In Ger many, placed at an average of 30 kilometers from the frontier. One newspaper asserts that It has definite information that Germany is con structing these bases In reinforced concrete from which a projectile called "fusees" may be shot to a dis tance of 200 kilometers. These projectiles can cover all stra tegic points, such as railroads, roads. stations, forts, and each "fusee" will have a destruction area of several thousand square meters. It is shown that If Germany should Install such rocket bases from Bel glum to Switzerland, making about 5000 rocket guns In all, It would be possible to dump 50.000 tons of pro Jectiles on France In a single night. Tills would represent for each base an average of ten tons per hour, comprising ten fusees of 100 kilo grams each, firing every six minutes. According to the watchful news papers nearer the Rhine, Germany la planning an altogether new kind of warfare for the future. It Is pointed out that the dangers of the last war lay In the so-called "tactical sur prises" that each side Invented, such as Germany's liquid gas and Britain's armored tanks. These newspapers assert that the so-called Maglnot wall Is perhaps Invincible, and that the new French fortifications may bo unbreakable, but at the same time it is asked of what use will be fortifi cations if all of France lies dead and burned behind them?

There arc several types of sugar (granulated, powdered, cube). Each is prepared to serve a different purpose. So it is with coffee. There are two vitally different methods of making it percolator and drip. Each demands a dif ferent coffee. In a Drip Coffee Maker, boiling water drips only once through a coffee specially prepared to yield its flavor quickly. While in a Percolator the water coptinues to pass many times through coffee prepared to yield its flavor rtlotcig. The ame coffee can be used for both methods, but like a "Jack-of-all-trades" it is "master of none" neither drip nor percolator. In one or the other, little things happen. It's a little weak, or a little strong, or a little cloudy, or it has a little less flavor. It's these little things that make or mar good coffee. Be sure to use the correct coffee for each method. Your grocer has two Schilling Coffees, identical in flavor, but each is specially prepared for its purpose each one different in blend, roast and grind. Two Schill o t ' LI r 4
