TRIBAL APPEAL MADE
Half of Redmen, Unable to Subsist,
Said to Have Sold Lands Far
Helow Value.
Klamath Falls, Or. Members of the
tribal council of the Klamath Indians
Friday appeared before Hubert Work,
secretary of the interior, with an
urgent plea for his influence toward
getting a $3,000,000 government loan.
As spokesman for the Klamath
tribe, Seldon Kirk, chairman of the
council, told of the hardships of his
people in their efforts to farm their
lands on the reservation, and declar
ed that a government loan appeared
to he their only salvation.
'Hut if you are now unable to make
your farms pay, how would you expect
to repay the government?" asked the
secretary
'Through the sale of our reserva
tion timber," replied the tribesman.
Levi Walker, college graduate and
one of the leaders on the reservation,
then urged that the government be
more liberal in its allowances to the
Indians, in turning over the money
from the sale of their timber.
'At the present time we are getting
but about $200 a year for each Indian,"
he said. "This is insufficient tto
keep us. We feel that the govern
ment should make a more liberal al
lowance."
Other members of the tribe also
voiced appeals for federal aid in the
way of a loan and additional timber
sales allowances. The secretary was
told that 50 per cent of the Indians
had sold their allotted land for a
quarter of its value simply because
they had been unable to subset on
their land.
The conference was staged amid
colorful surrounding. A small for
est of towering pines formed a pic
turesque background, while the In
dians in their sincere and quiet way
stood almost as silent as the pine
sentinels about them during the conference.
Following his meeting the tribal
Indians Secretary Work and party
visited the famed Wood river coun
try, which has long been known as
the garden spot of the Klamath country.
Knroute to the reservation, where
luncheon was held at the agency,
the party inspected the Modoc irriga
tion project and the sawmills which
skirt the shores of Klamath lake. Sec
retary Work and Reclamation Com
missioner Mead were honor guests at
S public banquet at the White Pelican
hotel. More than 200 persons were in
attendance, with both the secretary
and his reclamation chief promising
to do whatever lies within their pow-
r to solve the problems of the water
users of the Klamath district.

c
IS IT GARFIELD?
JAMES A. GARFIELD, twentieth
president of the United States, was
with the majority of presidents in his
English uncestry, at least as far as
his name Is concerned. He was de
scended from Edward Gnirfield or Gar
field, who was born in 1575 and came
from his home In Chester, England, to
settle in Watertown, Mass. It Is said
that his wife was probably an emi
grant from Germany whom he mar
ried on the voyage to the new world.
The family was well established In
Massachusetts, for the most part farm
ers. In the Revolution they served
with such good will that most of the
Garfield families came out of the war
very much Impoverished and H wus
at about that time that the Garflelds
pressed into New York state and fur
ther west with the hope of renewing
their fortunes. It was In 1817 that
the branch of the Garfield fumlly to
which the President belonged went to
Ohio, and In 1831 James A. Garfield
was born there.
Though the founder of the family
spelled his name Gairfield It is un
doubtedly Identical with the English
Garfield family. This name Is made
up from Garth, having the same mean
ing as garden, and field. Garth-field
or Garfield was probably first applied
to a certain location which the de
scription fitted and a family residing
there assumed the name.
Grundy This Is the same as Gundry
and Is derived from an Anglo-Saxon
personal name Gundred.
Milton This usually Is derived as
a shortened form of Mlddleton as a
name borne by many towns In old
England.

TF A bird In a cage can sing, my dear,
As though the days of the spring
were here,
If a bird, forgetting the time o' year,
Can sing in a room that is dark and
dim
As though he sut on a greening limb,
Yea, sing for those who Imprison him,
If a bird, when all that he knew are
gone
To the lovely South or the crimson
dawn.
Can sit alone, and can still sing on
Surely then you and I can sing,
Whatever shadows around us cling
Or what the moment may chance to
bring.
Surely then you and I can be.
Though bound In body, In spirit free,
Cun slug a little us well as he.
For few shall find what they most de
sire ;
We are all Shut In with our strands
of wire,
Till hearts grow heavy and bodies tire;
We may not labor at what we dream ;
But the whistling boy has the willing
team.
And a little song makes a shorter seam.
We lose some loves as we pass along,
There are some go fur, there are some
go wrong,
But still there Is Joy enough for song.
No night so dark but the dawn Is
near
Oh, we can find some thought to cheer
If a bird In a cage can sing, my dear I
