KLAMATH FALLS, Feb. 22.—
Cash payment of 9100 per capita
to Klamath Indians of Oregon has
been authorised by the interior
department.
The total sum to be distributed
amounts to >122,600 an^ is de
rived from profits of timber sales
on the reservation. The purposes
of the payment is to assist the
Indians in their spring farming
activities as three consecutive
years of bad crops are said to
have depleted their resources.
Officials at Klamath Agency
said today that they had received
no notice of the payment.
Surprise was expressed that the
amount allotted was only 9100
per capita, it being believed that
In view of existing conditions a
much greater sum would be al
lowed.
During 1925 three payments
were made, totaling 9300 per
capita.
It is believed that in view of
the large surplus now on hand
in the nation’s treasury, credited
to the Indians because of timber
sales, two and possibly three more
payments will be made this year.

Not the famous hatchet Of George Washington, but a dainty
white-handled penknife reveals, better his character.
So says Dr. Paul F. Bloomhardt, professor of biography at
Wittenberg College, Springfield; O.
Washington’s father gave the hatchet, as even school children
remember, in February, and (trorge struck down a choice tree in
the orchard. Later he confeseei, and promptly.
But the penknife was gtvafi to him by his mother. She was so
pleased with the lad’s behavior; that she gave him the bit of fine
cutlery, cautioning tire young'»nan always to Obey* his superiors.
This knife he carried as a talisman.

At the lowest ebb of the Revolution with a weak Congress fall
ing to protide even food for his half-clothed men at Valley Forge,
Washington once wrote out his resignation.
He struggled with himself. This waa hta greatest battle, says
Dr. Bloomhardt, who studies and teaches the lives of Great Ameri
cans.
General Knox came into the cabin which was general head
quarters at the valley and Washington showed him the resignation
as written.
Knox was dumfonnded, and did not know what to do until his
eye caught the glint of the penknife on General Washington's desk.
Knox knew its story, and without any utterance, gently pushed
the keepsake under the clenched hands of General Washington.
Washington flushed.
•
Knox said, “You were always to obey your superiors. No one
has commanded you to cease leading this army.”
Within half an hour the resignation was tossed into the log
fire, and th® great Washington carried on.
The hatchet showed the truth-stuff of the boy; the penknife
showed the stability of the man.
The knife should replace the hatchet. Dr. Bloomhardt says.
The knife is among the Washington relics in a Virginia Masonic
lodge.
