EXPECTED TO KEEP PLACE
Petition Sets Forth Lack of Disci
pline In Police Force, White Men
Huntinar on Reservation and
Permitting: Sheep to Graze.
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.

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. The citizens look forward to a large
crowd regardless of the A.-T.-P. Fair.
The Independence day celebration July
5 is eagerly looked forward to. 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. ' .

CITY TO GIVE FRANCHISE
Streetcars in Coos County Town May
Soon Be Reality. '
MARSHFIELD. Or., June 12. (Spe
cial.) The members of the Citv Coun
cil here are practically agreed upon a
streetcar franchise which J. M Drake
has asked. Next Wednesday evening
the Council will hold another meeting
when the franchise will be approved!
It will then be necessary for Mr. Blake
to secure the signatures of two-thirds
of the owners of property abutting on
the proposed line before the franchise
can be granted by the Council.
Mr. Blake annouices he represents
capital which can spend large sums in
developing the road and he will at'once
ask for a franchise in North Bend, with
the .intention of building a line to
branch out over the entire peninsula.
He further states the company would
purchase a site for an amusement park
and run a line to the place. It now
appears there is nothing to prevent the
success of the undertaking, so far as
a franchise in Marshfield is concerned.
