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 ". ..-

"I can nowhere find the but
ter fat content of wild animals'
milk,- writes R. G. S.T. "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.
