Meat Plant Starts Soon MERRILL, July 26 The Merrill Meat company expects to start op- Arnttnn nf its new alauffhterinfi? ' plant on the Merrill-Klamath Falls highway by the end of August, ac cording to Tom Barry, one of the owners. They will do custom slaughtering and curing. The plant will be equipped with a steam generator for heat and steam. This Is a comparatively new type of equipment for heat and steam and has an advantage over the old steam boiler method in that it is automatically con trolled and the motor shuts off when the steam Is at the desired pressure. Fire hazard will be kept at a minimum by both the steam generator room and the curing room being completely lined with tile. Electric plates will be used in the curing room. Refrigeration equipment for the cooling room has arrived and will soon be installed to complete that part of the plant. Firemen Quell 3 Minor Blazes Three minor fires have been extin guished by city firemen since Thursday evening.

Mr. Harry L Newman INTERNATIONAL AUTHORITY on small animals, will speak on the problems of the rabbit industry. All interested persons are welcome discuss their own problems MR. NEWMAN BY DAKLKN'K WOI.Fr From the days of the opening of the trail into Southern Oregon to the modern age of Jet planes and flying saucers, the Klumnth and Modoo Indians have had a culture recorded In English, But that meager 100 years of knowledge doesn't sat isfy archaeologists. What happoncd earlier? This summer a group of university students led by Dr, L. S. Cressman, head of the anthropology depart ment of the University of Oregon, have been trying to find out. From their headquarters on the Wolff ranch at Williamson river, the work ers went each day to old citmiuitea, and bit by bit added Information to the data gathered on a similar field trip in 1940 at the southern end of the county. The group was made up of four graduate students, and seven under graduates, representing the fields of art, architecture, business admini stration, sociology, physics and psy chology as well as anthroiology. They were Bob Men, Dave Curtis, Mr and Mrs. Robert Douglas, grad uates: Dayton Sharp, Don Wells, Enoch ParroU, Ross Kauago, Bar bara Fullmer, Phyllis Hoffman and Lee Albert, undergraduates. This Is the first year girls have been allowed to attend the field session. There might not have been any this year either, except (hut Mary Kllsnbeth Douglas, In addition to an MA behind her name has a Mrs. in front- Prntonalliles During the six weeks the eight boys, each of whom Is a veteran, and the three girls assumed flesh and blood reality, litslcad of remain ing merely names and faces. We learned that Men Is a professor at Vanport college, working on his doctorate from the University of Chicago, that Russ Kanaga comes from a family that Includr a re tired hotel chef (his grandfather) who enjoys doing the family cooking, that pig-tailed Barbara who looks as if she might still be In high school. Is a member of Uie senior women's honorary. Mortar Board, and that Albert plans to go to the University of New Zealand this fall. One could mention each Individual, for each contributed something unique to the life of the camp. There were two who must be given special mention. Jim Stark of Klamath Falls was the mascot and had a marvelous time. Gordon Hood, a middle-aged negro from Portland, was the one around whom the camp I life revolved for he doubled as cook and bugler (the latter with Uie help of a piece of cast Iron and a sturdy forearm). From a mess hall of can vas and corrugated metal sheeting. Hood dished out such hearty foods as hot breads, steaks and cobblers, but only after he had demanded and received an old wood stove Instead of the gas one which acted as though it had a personal grudge against him. Laundry The discarded stove became the basis of the Wells-Curtis laundry. We had offered use of our automatic machine when Curtis exclaimed, "And put us out of business I What has your machine got that we haven't?" We helpfully replied, "No munual I labor. Put In the clothes and then later take them out." We were met with the prompt rejoinder from others, "That's all with Wells and Curtis, too. Put 'em In and take 'em out." Don Wells, who halls from Long Beach, was chief driver of the truck which hauled students and equip ment to the site being worked. When visitors rode in back with the group they were warned to use their "sea legs" because Wells had learned where all the bumps were and man aged to hit every one. Once at the location the students easily proved how much they had learned about archaeological tech nique, for with the exception of Cressman and Mere, the group mem bers were novices at field trips. House Pits Probed House pits which had been located previously were chosen and ttench boundaries marked. In each case cross section was dug out in an effort to determine the age of the pit and what activities were carried on as Judged from remains of bone, bark and stone. These are termed arti facts. Pits dug this year showed few complete objects but there were bits of arrow points, bone awls, rock utensils and ' basketry, as well as ample evidence of fallen bark and pine needle roofs and extensive fire j pits- j After marking the boundaries some i some set to work digging while others I carefully screened all the dirt,! searching for evidence of human!

As the roof or floor of a former home waa un covered, readings of elevation, con tour and distance would be taken by means of the alidade on a plane table. Locations were then marked on an accurate map. As dinners exchanged placea one could hear, "How deep do I dig 'this trench?" "Oh. half a mile will do." Whan each layer of dirt had been screened and the "floor" reached, the sides of Hi trenches were "shaved" with a sharp Instrument, ouU-ropplugs of flrcptta or artifacts were blown with a bellows to remove surrounding dirt, and pictures were taken. Artifacts Labeled In camp at the end of the day each artifact was labeled permanently will) India Ink on a small spot of white paint, bone pieces were treated for preservation with a solution of celluloid and acetone, and notes of the day written by Cressman were carboncd and given to each student to add to his own account of the evi dence. Samples of soli layers were saved for examination by the geology department. Evening lectures around the camp fire on phases of anthropology fol lowed a summary of each day's work. Then with an hour or two of group singing, roontlng marshmiillowa and Joking, the day would end. Last week summer school for the group closed and they left with the satisfaction that they aildrd to the archaeological knowledge of Indian hie In the early days of Southern Oregon. , , , OmpUlnll rili Joacph Vernon SUyrlck v.
