HERALD AND NEWS. Klamath Falls. Ore. Sunday. Fob. 7. infin PAGE 5 A A BRAVE SMILE was flashed by Carol Gervais after she was finally coaxed to pose with this exhumed skull of a local Indian who was buried some 500 years ago. She is a secretary at the Klamath County museum where the skull is on display pending further study of its age and other fac tors of interest to Ben Swarti, curatdr. New Relics On Display At Museum Some Indian relics, of the late Tulelake Era now on display at the Klamath County Museum are iin indication that natives of the Basin developed their culture sig nificantly in the few hundred years just before Western civilization struck. The new display features items dug exclusively from a site that once was an island on the drained portion, of Lower Klamath Lake. The area had been excavated, mostly by amateurs, many times before a county museum team headed by Foy L. Carlson, former curator, did it scientifically in 1957. The diggers came up with an assortment of exquisitely chiseled "projectile points" (arrow heads), beads, bone awls, knives and stone pipes for smoking.! They also resurrected a skull. Ben Swartz, who succeeded Carl con in the museum, estimates the remains are about 500 years old Later tests may pinpoint their age While the recovered artifacts all Indicate they were manufactured during the Tulelake period, the two burials excavated do not. Latter day Indians customarily cremated their dead. I The Tulelake period was so termed years ago by liobert J. Squire who then was a graduate archeology student at the Univer sity of California and who has " since become a professor of arche ology at the University of Kansas The era is distinguished chiefly ' by its arrow heads and fiber uten sils. Projectiles were chipped from obsidian black volcanic glass Previously, they were made from chirt, a more opaque and coarse rock of many colors. Newer mod els were smaller, sharper, more delicate. They look as artistic as deadly. Some displayed are of the "Des ert Side Notch" type. They are wasp-waisted and winged daintily at the base. Early baskelry was formed by tightly stitching a continuous coil of fiber together. Later work a Basket, lor instance began as an explosion of fibers radiating from common center. Weavers then bound them tightly together with fibers sewn : laterally. A good specimen was water tight. Swartz believes the burials took place about the time the Modoc Tribe split from the Klamath Tribe. He knows the tribes once were common because they spoke common, but dialectic, language. Swartz says he may undertake some deeper Tesearcn later and publish his results in one of the museum periodicals. 230 Aided By KF SA The Salvation Army received 175 applications for aid during Janu ary.

This type of program tends to County Court Approves Gravel Buys The county court authorized Fri day purchase of county gravel for emergency repairs of public roads. Under terms of a formal resolu tion, "interested persons" may pur chase the gravel at cost. It is for use on public roads roads that under Oregon law are built and maintained by property owners. The resolution noted that a "con tinuous stretch of unseasonably bad weather . . . had created con ditions on most public roads that have almost stopped their usage." Such roads hindered residents from reaching work, and caused the post office to cancel some de liveries. Therefore, the resolution read, the "Klamath Counly Road De partment was ordered to furnish interested residents the necessary gravel at the county's cost to put their roads in a passable condi tion, providing the residents will take care of hauling said gravel." The gravel is to be available at the Merrill pit, and is to be loaded at the convenience of the pit crew The term "at the county's cost" means gravel will be sold for the amount it costs the county to pro duce or about 75 cents a yard. The court said the resolution was intended for repair of public roads, not repair of private drive ways or private roads. Numerous requests were made of the court for gravel to repair mud-entrenched public roads. The court learned from a district at torney's opinion that it could not give the gravel away as had been done several years ago but could under law sell gravel at cost for emergency road repair. Last week the court reached an agreement with the South Subur ban Sanitary District to haul grav el and repair public roads chewed up by sewer construction. That work is to be paid for by the district.
