Discovery of Cave In Bend Area May Is That So? By bm la RMfr-NtraJitt Bend J.B Four Tumalo boys have discovered a 'cave in the Fort Rock basin that could yield new information about the migration of early Indian tribes. Dr. L. S. Cressman, anthro pologist for the University of Oregon, said he has visited the cave but is keeping its location secret until the completion of excavation work. ; The four boys, Louis Dob bins, Dwane Suhre, Paul Sloan and Bud Conners, conducted some amatuer excavating before Dr. Cressman learned of the dis covery, and unearthed, among other things, the remains of a small horse. Probably Used As Food: Dr. Cressman said the horse was probably of the Ice Age, and was used as food by the cavern-dwelling Indians. Bask ets, bones, and woven mats are among, the materials found in the cave by the young explor ers. ; The anthropologist . has in structed the four boys in arch- -eological methods so they can continue; excavations in the cave. Dr. . Cressman removed the cave's artifacts ' to Eugene for further study. Dr. Cressman is noted for his discovery of Indian material in the Cow cave on the Reuben Long ranch. The cave is now re garded as the oldest proven hab itation of man on the North Am erican continent. . There ' are about 100 ; daily newspapers in the Dominion of Canada, counting the morning and evening editions as separate units. ;-v ". ..- 6 fi!

"And can ' the milk : of all mammals produce butter? . ,. i. , "My husband runs a service station and has to wash beeswax from windshields. He wants to know how a bee rids herself of her sticky load," . asks Mrs. T.R.D. . .rtxy-V: "My hunting companion swears a cougar (mountain lion, puma, panther) can scream like a woman in distress. I say, 'Nuts! He's hearing an' owl or , a ro mancing bobcat' Who's right, ranger?" inquires T.E.D. . . Mrs. T.R.S. writes: : "Please tell us where . do we get the horrid expression: 'It's raining cats and dogs?' " Butter fat Content: Milk among mammals varies tremen dously. The reindeer's contains five times more butterfat than a cow's; the seals' 12 times as much. For example, the butter- fat content of a hare's milk, is about 2.2 per cent; a cow's 3.4; a goat's 4.8; sow's, five; a rein deer's, 17.1; a blue whale's, 38.1, and a harp seal, 42.8. However,, the sugar content of horse's milk is six per cent to the cow's 4.4, and for some cur ious reason, the seals have none. Wants Reindeer Butter .-. Because the milk of all ani mals contains butterfat, one would suppose that they could all produce butter. However, the size of the fat globules seems to m&ke a difference. For ex ample, camel's , milk, which is delicious, contains butterfat in considerable quantity but the fat globules are so small that they will not become separated how ever violently churned. The but terfat of such mammals as cows, goats and water buffaloes is churned into butter. I have tasted reindeer milk in coffee a very, little turns coffee white hut I have not tasted reindeer butier. Can I get some from Northern Norway? .Cougar Scream: Years ago I wrote - a piece, "A Ranger Ruminates," for Field and Stream and the editor objected to my saying : that a cougar screams. I maintain today as I did then, that " a cougar does scream. Certainly it is not as talkative as some of its long- winded cousins on the backyard fence. The belief that cats will not scream comes from men who say they .will not make a sound when wounded, trapped or fight ing. But in a zoo they have been heard to scream and their cry is chilling. , There is little doubt that the mountain lion will scream upon occasion during the mating season which is a long one because .they . have , been found with new-born kittens al most every month of the year. : Cais-and-Dogs: I.' have heard two ' theories about this ex pression. One is that the thunder accompanying a heavy downpour sounds like a cat-and-dog hassle, hence the . term; the other that it originated during the days when the pussy-willow was known as "cats and dogs." When it rained hard enough to dis lodge the furry parts, it was said to be raining cats and dogs.'' Baskets On Legs , . Beeswax: A bee has baskets on its hindlegs in which It carries its pollen. In fact, ydu can see the golden lumps of bee's bread bulging on each of her hindlegs, Under a glass, -you'd see these baskets are surrounded with hairs in reality, stiffish spikes, which act like stakes along the sides of a truck. : Once the bee returns to her hive, she deposits her load and then grooms- herself thoroughly. For this, she has many cleaning gadgets.; In fact, almost every leg and joint has some kind of tool for clipping, cutting, brushing and combine. Her toilet is so well done that before she sets out again, there is not a speck of pollen dust, however small, or a spot of wax, or a sticky smear of nectar to be found on her body.
