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.

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

properly labeled sacks. 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

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
