KLAMATH FALlS. Or., June 12. (Spe cial.) Objection has beon raised by some of the Indians of the Klamath tribe to the actions of M. o. Wilson, superintendent of the Klamath Reservation. During- the month of April the dissatisfied KJamaths circulated a petition wnich received the. dKnaturofl of about 23 per cent of the mature residents of the reservation. In this they set forth the reasons urged for the removal or transfer of the superin tendent. The alleged causes were: Lack ff discipline in the conduct of the police 'nice; permitting white men to hunt and fish on the reservation and leaaing of the lnnds for sheep grazing. The petition sent to the Secretary of the Interior set forth in detail the reasons whv the In diatiH desired a. change. Superintendent Wilson, when apprised of the movement by a few of the mem bers of the tribe, informed them if they desired to formulate such a petition he would furnish them a clerk to prepare it and embody any statements thev desired to make. Jf they had any charge, he was willing they should put it in such form as they wished to the department, so be could answer them. He would raise no objentlon whatever, he said, to their pre paring any charge they might wish. The following communication to the public was given out: To tho Public: The Indians of the Klamath Reservation have petitioned to the Hon. Secretary of the Interior for the ad justment of certain wrongs imposed upon them, and for the removal or transfer ot the superintendent now In charge of the reservation, H. G. Wilson, whose adminis i rat Inn of the affairs on the reservation appear, to have been unsatisfactory. Why? Recauac the reservation is going down. Mow is it golnjf down? Because the rules and regulations governing affairs atva go ing down, and because they are not being strictly enforced, therefore causing trouble. In any country, and for everybody and any thing, there aro laws governing them, and when any law is violated, what is the re sult ? The result Is always trouble. The result in always damaging, and sometimes the real result is the sacrifice of human Uvea. The follow !ng are some of the reasons Justifying the request for redress to the Interior 1 department. f First Mr. Wilson has permitted his to lice foroo to hang around doing nothing except to work at the agency for the Gov Tnmcnt once every Ave weeks, when they ought to he doing duty in ttWr districts. Mr. Wlison has permitted hunting and Ashing on the reservation by white rften who have no privilege to do so. and out of season also. In violation of the following rule, section 6l'5. rules and regulations gov erning Tndlan affairs. R. S. section 2137: Hunting; on Indian lands by others than Indians, except for subsistence in the In dian country, is prohibited. Any violation of hls section will render the offender liable to a forfeiture of all his guns, traps, ammu nition, etc.. and to a further penalty of tie has nented our surplus land in viola tien of the rule prescribed by the Interior Department for the government of affairs here, which is aa follows: "Tf the Indians of a reservation desire to lease their surplus land for farming. arazlng or mining purposes, the agent should submit the question to the Indian office. The first step necessary to be taken. In case the surplus lands are subject to lease, is the authorization by the council If the reservation can lawfully be leased tns surplus land thereon subject to lease should be divided into separate ranges or grazing districts. adopting. if possible. rivers or other natural physical features as boundaries, and full description and est! mated number of acres in each rang should be given." Sec. 61 M rules and regulations governing Indian affairs. He has rented our lands to sheepmen to run their shoep to eat out the grass on the range, which will cause trouble if the sheep are permitted to run on our lanfis. In a few years. If we don't put a stop to stieep coming in our reservation, where will our stock feed ? Where are we going to tlnd pasture for our horses and cattle? A few yoars ago In the country in and around my. Or., and silver Lake, Or., the range was good, but what does it amount to since sheep were introduced there? In our opinion sheep are not very saf animals to run on our range, because they are in fected with diseases that are injurious and .-milAcious. Hecause they ruin the food and kill otT the forage that other stock feeds on.' And last but not least, they will cause t rouble with cartle and horsemen whenever i h fall In contact with one another. Therefore, the Indians are entering a pro test to the Interior Impart men t against sheepmen Introducing sheep to pasture in the reservation, and It no action is taken, (he Indians may take it upon themselves to fence the rcserx a lion with dead sheep. They are so indignant that something may happen if they don't gt justice. And It is the duty of every law-abiding citizen t KUmath County to co-operate with us in protesting against sliwpmen Introducing sheep to pasture In our near neighborhood, hut take them away off on the mountains, where they can get plenty of feed and no trouble. GARKIKLU JACK, S A U K N T li KOW N . C. M. KIRK. In Klamath County the petition has not been regarded as likely to bring about a change in the siipcrintcndeiicy. Mr. Wil son lias been in charge of Klamath Agency about four years and had sta.b lisdicd a st a nd ins in the service bet ore taking this place. ALBANY RESIDENT IS DEAD Mr .!. A. Zimmerman.

BEACH SEASON BEGINS NKWPOKT WELCOMES CKOWD TO SHORE. Many Improvements Made in Town and Coast Kesorts, and tireater l'ire Protection Given. NEWPORT, Or., June 12. (Special.) Climatical conditions elsewhere apparent ly are driving the people to the Coast. Many arrive daily and give a sigh of re lief when the cool salt breeze strikes them. A large excursion one month ago brought people over to admire the myriads of rhododendrons, but the present influx is made up of Summer visitors coming to remain as long as their vacation per mits. Two deep sea launches, the Gazelle and Rose, are kept busy taking excursionists over the bar to the w histling buoy, where they may flsii. or down to Seal Rocks where sealions are hunted with success. The temperature of the surf is suitable for bathing so the early visitors are not excluded from that pastime, and any day large crowds may be seen on the beach. Possibly the greatest improvement in Newport is the electric street lamps which will be turned on next week. The his toric lantern on the streets after mail time is a thing of the past. The well equipped fire-fighting apparatus will in sure greater safety to the guests of hotels and cottages. The new road to Olsonville will be appreciated by those owning cot tages in that place. Tlie new hotel at Otter Hocks will be appreciated at that famous picnic ground for it will enable people to enjoy a lunch eon without having to carry it from New port.

Probably an excursion will run from the Valley points. The events for that day include a regatta. Held meet, the customarv ad dresses, baseball game and a dance in the evening. ' .
