Perhaps no (subject In the New world has at tracted as much attention as the KUbject of water development by the Indian tribes ol tne aria soutn west. Small stone dams built by the Indians of the state of Chihuanua Mexico, have attracted a lot of at tention and has shown the scientific investigators that the American Indian in this area before the com ing of the white man practiced soil conservation before not alter ha farmed his land. This is of course in contrast to tho culture of white man who first iarmed his land and then lost large areas of It because of the lack of knowl edge of good soil conservation practices and did not learn his lesson til! long after much damage to highly productive soils had been accomplished. Robert A. McCabe, professor of wildlife management of the Uni versity of Wisconsin, recently pre , sented a paper prepared for scien tists and scholars attending the 1955 annual meeting of the Wla eonsln Academy of Sciences, Arts, und Letters, used this particular theme. "This has an Ironic twist," Mc Cabe writes, "since we come from a rich enlightened land to the north where a small group of conserva tionists are now trying to help an unwilling country prevent it soil, and Indirectly its wealth, from flowing seaward." It was MeCabe'a thesis that the dams built by these Chihuahua In dians were evidently constructed for the collection of silt upon which trope could be grown. McCabe and party of scientists visited this area some yars ago to collect vertebrate specimens for the Uni versity ol Wisconsin and upon this eollectme; trip they discovered these rock dams which caused him to do much speculation about them. The "trincheras" as they are Known to the local native popula tion are located in the canyons nd in the waahea on mountain cnesa an the area southwest of Cokwla Pacheco on the Oavilan -SjTiX Z.

"We are esed to thinking in leeme of impounded water wher ever dame are dlsoussed. The "trinchera," however, appears to have been osed as a means of clawing run-oft during the heavy rains of late summer, not so much a water conservation measure as a means of holding and building coll behind the check-dams. No trinchera' that we saw impound ed water." The dams were built cn all kinds of slopes, and were often found in series, one behind the other. Even now they retard erosion and col lect sand and silt, which is otten covered with thin soil and sod. "In one instance, on a large mesa above our camp, I found a series of four dams," McCabe fftated. "Behind these dams was a pear-shaped meadow of about 10-15 acres surrounded by tall yel low pines." McCabe reported thnt much evi dence of prehistoric activity exists m the area, including the ruins of large buildings and what must have been lookout towers and council rings. Lumbering operations which were beginning in 1048. were already de stroying much of the Chihuahua wilderness, he snid. The Gavilnn River "where rainbow trout could be seen in the bottom of four-foot pools" was turning into an ugly brown torrent. 'This very young soil going downstream was the result o( a and saw.

Mexico furnishes some interesting examples, however it is in the great Andes ana in uie Peruvian area that we find the most tragedv of the mailed fist of the conqueror. No one knows very much about the ancient civilizations of the "Amerindians" as the an cient people are now spoken of. Even the authorities disagree pas sionately on innumerable issues. This results from the fact that the Amerindian possessed no written language, and, on top of this, the Spaniards, in their conquest of the southern Indian races destroyed fanatically. When they killed the Inca leader Atahualpa and his close associates, they destroyed one of the last links to the knowledge of the past and today science is at tempting to pick up the threads of the lost cultures of the past through archeological explorations, the study of native languages and the folk-lore of the Indian tribes. whtw YORK 11 "Little Blow- hard" rtas breathed his last in our home. He has gone away forever. He didn't leave voluntarily. My wife sold him behind my back. But I couldn't feel more guilty li I were the Lone Ranger and had traded my good old faithful mount Silver, for a jeep. I'll be missing Little Blowhard's steel Ninile and labored breathing tor a long time. For all his grum bling, he cleared the air in our home for six happy years. He made for a better atmosphere the moment he oame to us. After all, he should. Little Blowhard is an air conditioning machine. My wife, Fiances, bougnt mm In the summer of 1849. For some time Little Blowhard and I didn't get along at all. With the intuition of a cat or dog, he sensed at once my distrust and fear of new mech anical gadgets. When Frances turned his knobs, he would begin to purr and puff out cool breezes. But if I even put my hand to his grating, he would snarl and blow .a gasket. After a couple of seasons, though, we began to understand rh0lhr v.,,., rVr.ciiiv tittle each other better. Gradually Little Blowhard switched his aftections to me. About a month ago my wife sud denly announced she was going to have the whole apartment air-con ditioned, we could save on our vacation expenses, and she would wait another 10 years lor that fur coat etc.; etc. Go ahead." I replied. "Little Blowhard could use a little help." That machine is going out of here," sne said. "It s out of date, and besides it's the wrong color." This is where I put my foot down," I told her icily. "If Little Blowhard goes, I go. That's final." Last week I returned home dur ing a hot spell and found the apart' ment remarkably cool. There were three new air conditioners dui no Little Blowhard. I stalked dramatically toward the front door, and said. "You know what I warned you." Oh, don't be so silly. Rover." said Frances. "Who wants to run away from home during a heat wave? Besides, your Little Blow hard Is still In the building. I sold him to a lady on the 14th floor, and she says she'll give you visit ing privileges if you really miss liim." The new air conditioners actual ly are pretty nice. They have shiny buttons, and when Frances presses ihem they purr and purr like plensed cats. But when I reach out a hand they growl at me like strnnge dogs.

Hal Boyle VT-TliTTiTO Frank Tripp You can find people yet who don't believe there are such things as trained fleas and a Ilea circus So perhaps this yarn about a troupe of performing clams hasn't much chance of acceptance farther inland than Sandy Hook. Nevertheless I once had a troupe of performing clams. It wasn't something you could cart about the country as a flea circus is trans ported, because trick clams are very temperamental creatures. Though clams are mollusks, 1 imagine you'll let me call them temperamental creatures: at least concede that much, and keep an open mind while I tell you a strange story about ordinary chow der clams. When my children were young I spent much time on the beach with them, along the Jersey Coast, I had more fun than they did. One day, right at the water's edge, where tiny ripples of a pond, calm ocean rolled lazily in and out over the fine, soft sand, leav ing It barely damp one moment, and under an inch of salt water the next, I came upon my per forming clams. There were six of them, all lowly Quahogs, of the size and number to make a likely serving, eitner with or without cocktail sauce. That was my first thought, about them. Then I noticed something I never knew about round, hard clams something the encyclopedias attri bute only to soft, mud clams. They were moving and more or less in unison. I always thought hard clams Just got kicked about by the waves, in fact it never oc curred to me that there could be any place that a clam would care to go but there is. After they had got halfway there I yanked them back on the beach and called the kids. Soon there was a crowd of youngsters about and I was giving a lecture on clams performing clams, dis appearing clams. I found that I could control the activity of the clams according to where I placed them with respect to the ebb and flow of the water. Through this secret I could com mand certain clams to roll up on edge and they would. Others, placed only a few incites away, I could command to lie still and to the amazement of the children the or ders were obeyed. Then, while the kids played with four of the clams I placed a child's beach pail over the other two, did a bit of magician's hocus-pocus and had a boy sit on the pall. In a few minutes I asked him to give me trie two clams. He lifted the pall and said, with astonishment, Mister, they're gone!" Indeed they were gone but not far; Just under the sand. You can't find performing clams on any beach nor on any day. Everything has to be just right- including your inclination to play with clams. But I found some sev eral times thereafter. If the damp sand and the lap of lazy ripples is just right. beach - bound hard clam will be have like a soft clam; open its shell about an inch and thrust out its tongue. Its tongue is what many think is the best part of the clam; that solid, muscle part. It protrudes some distance, bores Into the sand and slowly the clam will rise until It stands upright, with its hinge upward, Its open Jaws downward and Its tongue in tne sand. Then slowly It sucks its way Into the damp, soft sand and disap pears. Move It a foot from the right spot and it will lie like a stone until the tide or waves take it back to sea. That's all I know about clams: 'cept that they're mighty good eatin'.

It does not concede Communist China legally exists. But it deals with the Red Chinese. This country refuses to recognize the Communists as the lawful rulers of mainland China although they have governed its almost 600 million people ever since running Chiang Kai-shek off the mainland to Formosa more than five years ago. But an American ambassador and a Red Chinese ambassador are discussing in Geneva now the re lease of their nationals from eacn other's country. They may discuss more than that. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Dulles, who says the Geneva meet-i ing doesn't imply recognition of the Red regime, is having an Intercontinental debate with Chou En-lai, Red Chinese premier and foreign minister. Each le talking directly to the other but not officially so-r-each is making public statements in tended for the other.'s ears to find out what the other is. willing or likely to yield. In the end Dulles- and Chou may meet too. Since both insist they want peace in Asia, each would have to convince the other by con cessions. One thing the Red Chi nese want is a seat in the United Nations. The United States has blocked that, with help from other countries. The United States might no longer want to block it if Chou gave sufficient peaceful guaran tees, including an agreement not to attack America a ally on For mosa, . Chiang, who claims to be the lawful ruler of mainland China. Once Red China was in the U.N., the United States could hardly continue to withhold recognition. Yet, H it recognized Red China, it w o a 1 d be recognizing two Chinas: one on the mainland, one on Formosa.

It would be Ameri can agreement that Chiang no longer had any legal claim, to the mainland. Therefore, he could not expect American support for an Invasion, An invasion by Chiang, which couldn't be done without full Amer ican support, is academic anyway. The Eisenhower administration, which once talked of unleashing him, long ago changed its mind and has him solidly bottled up on Formosa. But recognition and a U.N. seat for Red China won't come over night. Last week President Elsen hower said this country's position on Red China nonrecognition and opposition to U.N. membership hasn't changed. The United Stales has forces in South Korea, and as long as Amer ican troops are in the South. Red China is pretty sure to keep troops in the North. Over the weekend a story came out of the State Department to this effect: that top U.S. policy makers are considering withdraw ing American forces from South Korea to Japan. Perhaps this was a hint to the Red Chinese to do the same and thereby prove their peaceful intentions and get rid of tne u.N. tag of aggressor. m t,i ; U I A lea, WOIXO eTSJtCIJVm aQWVaay J - n Ploy-ot-homes hove plenty of "action" room in Carter's cotton knits . . . plenty of comfort with famous no-chofing Nevabind underarms, quick-dreuing Jiffon necks.

PC 1 in i l such service are listed by the In stitute as members of the Invest ment Counsel Assn. of America. Fifteen have offices in New York, and one or more are located in 13 other cities. They are distinct from advisory services, or brokers' customers' men, or trust depart niema of banks. Msny advisers to individuals won't deal with accounts under $100,000. Their fees usually range from ,2 of 1 per cent for handling a portfolio of that sise to V, of 1 per cent if the portfolio contains securities valued at six million dol lars, or more. Some counselling firms, however specialize in small accounts. Their fees usually range from l'i per cent for a 15,000 portfolio to per cent for one above $30,000. The institute ha some general words of warning. It believes that "far too many men of inferior cali ber can, today, find their way into tills potentially lucrative field with out training or probing search of moral character, and with little public supervision." It also takes a dou' view of ad visors who try to serve too many clients. It says, "adequate super vision of more than 16 substantial account or 30 accounts of any size is impossible. The adviser who exceeds this number eventual ly gives Inadequate attention to all." The successful counsellor? The Institute says: "Bis strength lies in ability resulting partly from his own inquiring mind to Inter pret developments before even in dustry Itself has perceived ttieir meaning." And the best way to judge this ability is by checking the results of following a counsellor's advice over the last 10 years, say. An adviser who "appears to be lieve that outguessing the market is his main task" often stumbles, the iixtitute says, because this ean lead to overlooking intrinsic merits of individual Issue. And the Insti tute says your investment counsel lor "should have nothing to sell, either directly or indireqtly, ex cept his services. Brokerage fees cover the cost of a different func tion and should be kept a thing apart." Foe the rest, the adviser should have wide contacts in industry and the financial world. And, like all trustworthy business executives, the adviser must hav all the big three qualities: industry, integrity and ability. Coming te Klamath Fall Dollar Days THURS. - FRI. - SAT.
