Anthropologists Inspect Dugout EUGENE - University of Oregon anthropologists last week inspected a dugout canoe recently lifted from the bottom of Blue lake and put on display at the Pioneer Museum at the Lane county fairgrounds. Examining the canoe were David L. Cole, curator of an thropology at the university's Museum of Natural History, and Dr. Wilbur A. Davis, assistant curator of anthropology. Both are assistant professors of an thropology. The canoe is not of Indian origin and was probably made within the last 100 years, accord ing to Cole. The anthropologists based their opinion on several pieces of evidence, including the fact that the canoe was fashioned with a metal instrument, prob ably a hatchet, definitely estab lishing that it was made after the coming of the white man. The bow and stern of the craft are not of a design usually found in Indian canoes. Cole ob served. In addition, the log was only partially dug out and. as a result, the canoe would not be stable in the water. Indian can oes were usually stable, sea worthy craft, Cole said. lofce Oswego Residents Oppose Freeway Route LAKE OSWEGO ( UPI )-Local residents turned out Thursday night to protest a proposed free way route through this commu nity.
