The suggestion has been offered that In this' new building two or three rooms be set aside for a histor ical museum, where relics of the fas cinating past of the southern Oregon country can be assembled, properly f labeled and exhibited. . r It la an Interesting suggestion. THE Klamath country Is rich In historical associations. The Old South Road, laid out by the Applegates. by which the. ox team pioneers reached the southern Oregon and northern California country, passed through there. There must be many relics of this migration still In existence, If only ve could locate them. They - ought to be found and preserved before It Is too late. , , THE Modoc war was fought in the lava beds to the south of Klam ath Falls. The story of this conflict Is saetch ily1 preserved by monuments at the scene of the fight, but only sketchtly. It ought to be preserved in greater detail. There must be Innumerable relics 01 this struggle still In existence. They ought to bo collected, labeled and exhibited where people can see them. K LAMATH lake was one of the principal objectives of Fremont's first expedition to the Orest West. He missed It. Incidentally, seeing only the Klamath' marsh, which he mis-' took tor Klamath lake, and In his memoirs he mentions his disappoint ment. The only time, apparently, when he fired the little cannon he carried round with him on this trip was In the Klamath marsh. It was fired to frighten the Indians, and apparently did the trick. f Thla cannon was abandoned In his crossing of the Sierras over the win ter snows. It MIGHT be found some slay. If so. It ought to be exhibited In the Klamath country. O N Fremont's second expedition he was still thinking of Klamath lake and made an excursion from the Sacramento country to see it, This timo ho found it. One of his enly fights with the Indians occurred on the west shore of the lake, There are a few mementoes of this fight still In existence. They ought to be collected, labeled and exhibited. JACKSON, Klamath and Lake coun ties were once one great county, Those seat was Jacksonville. There must be relics still In exis tence of those days when It was ne cessary to travel clear from the Lake Tlew country to Jacksonville to reach the county seat. If so, they should be preserved. . . THE Klamsth country Is rich In Indian relics, telling their fasci nating story of the days that preced ed the coming of the white man. The Klamath country was a great country for the making of arrows, thanks to the obsidian that Is so plentiful there. There are mortars and pestles by the hundreds prob ably thouisnds. The seed of the wocua. for example, was used for food by the Indians, and mortars and pestles or a special de- J sign were necessary for extracting these seeds and preparing them for food. - THE Modoc Indians used pipes that closely resemble our mod ern cigarette holders. Some of them were beautifully fashioned out of obsidian, and must have represented month. If not years, of work. pipes of a different character and construction entirely are found In this country: indicating, possibly, an earlier race of people. THfSE are only sketchy suggestion at to what might be placed In such a museum. They are capable of infinite expansion. The story of our past U a f rat mat ing tory, full of rotnaaoa and adven ture.

Carrying their prognostlcatlona fur ther, the O. O.

If things work out as they expect and in the Interests of the nation If la to be hoped they are wrong the Republican battle line with Oemcciatlo Incumbents already la drawn. One Republican whose high posi tion In the party entitles him to speak for It aummed up what he and ma colleagues look tor In Janu ary when congress reassembles by saying: "Tlie Republicans are preparing to fight for maintenance of a stable government.
