Head to Retire
PORTLAND. Ore., Jan,. 25
<UN) — Klamath Indiana, reput
ed to be the secopd wealthiest
tribe in America, must content
themselves with governm ent^llo-
cations of funds, rather than own,
control and manage to their lik
ing valuable w h ite' pine timber
claims on the reservation.
The United States government
was upheld today in Ita refusal
to turn over these claims to the
Indians by a decision handed
down by Federal Judge Bean In
■lx test cases tried last month at
the Medford court term.
The decision has a far reaching
effect on the government policy
on Indian reservations and will
spve the government vast sums
of money and conserve these valu
able timber claims, in the opinion
of United States Attorney George
A. Neuner.
