VER at Klamath Palls, they are
to build a new armory, the
funds to be secured partly by local
taxation and partly from the Recon
struction Plnance corporation.
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. This story ought to be drama,
tired for those who come after u. H

Decree Wiping Out Last
Traces Machado Regime
U. S. Envoy Opposed
By john p. Mcknight
HAVANA. Cuba, Aug. 25. (AP)
Taking a firm grip on power, Pro-
lslonaj President De Cespedea today
issued a decree wiping out all ves
tiges of the ousted Machado regime.
dissolving congress, and calling new
elections for February 34. 1034.
The measure, signed with the cabl-
uet's approval and effective imme
diately, declared unconstitutional the
Machado administration and Its act
since May 30, 1039, when Gerard o
Mao'iado was laugurated president
for a second term.
Observe Obligations
All international obligations are
to be observed, however, even though
contracted since that date.
The action followed a widespread
clamor for a thorough houseclean-
ing of the regime that fell two weeks
ago.
It was taken over the opposition
of United States Ambassador Sum
ner Welles who. In his capacity as
mediator. rtas maintained that It Is
necessary to continue constitutional
forms. ...
Secretary of Justice Carlos Bala-
drlgas pointed out that, although -the
government maintained Machado ac
quired power through a virtual coup
d'etat and hence unconstitutionally!
all foreign obligation contracted by
Machado and all legislation passed
In the last four years would be con
sidered as "things done", and there
fore itlll In effect. '
Eight. Main Points I
The decree, which Dr. Cespedea
signed after an extraordinary cabinet
session at which "a commission of
Havana university professors made a
number of proposals for reforms, con
tained eight point as follows:
1 There will be a return to the
constitution of 1901, adopted during
the 'military rule" of the United
States,, which .Included the Piatt
amendment giving the United States
the right to Intervene In island af
fairs a necessary, and -which ad
vanced several administrative, edu
cational and civil service reforms.
T.bs 1928 reform are derogated.
These modified the 1901 constitution
by .extending the presidential term
from four to six years. Ma.Jhi.do was
elected In 1935 for a four-year term
and later ran again after the 1938
changes.
The administration of Machado
waa declared ended.
3 Congress was dissolved.
4 Three Justices' of the supreme
court appointed after May 30, 1938,
were removed.
fl All other provincial and munici
pal officials under Machado were re
moved. 6 General elections will be con
ducted February 24, 1934, to fill elec
tive offices; those elected will take
office May 30, 1934.' .
7 A consulatton commission I to
be appointed to carry out the terms
of the decree.
8 All International obligations are
to
be observed, even though oon-
traded since May 30, 1939.

PREDICT FAILURE

Roosevelt Tore Off Bigger
Bite Than Can Chew Is
Belief Greater Dictator-

By fiKOFKiR IM'ftNO
WASHINOTON, Aug. 35. Republi
can leader are predicting privately
that NRA 1 going to fall.
When the great social and eco
nomic experiment waa launched, they
shook their heads but withheld
Judgments Developments of the past
week have led them to believe Presi
dent Roosevelt tore off a bigger bite
than he can chew.
Carrying their prognostlcatlona fur
ther, the O. O. P. chiefs anticipate a
move toward more often and com
plete Whlto Houso dictatorship than
now exists as a dlhect result of the
Blue Eagle's tallspln.
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. It la going to be the
old battle between conservatism and
radicalism."
O. O. P. heada contend that by
Oeneio, Hug Johnson'a own gauge
the attempted regimentation 0 In
dustry la a failure. Johnson, they
point out, said 0.000.000 men would
be ba;k at work by September 1.
Unless- there Is 1 -ttnlllo spurt- tn
re-employment In the next nrne days
NRA will fall far short of thla goal.
They also look for t,be steel and
coal Industries to carry the National
Industrial Recovery Act to the courts
(Continued on Page Three).

ROGERS
BEVERLY HILLS, Cal., Aug.
24. As I look at this NRA
after having a long cliaj with
tlio prrsiilont about it . and
Hugh Johnson, the chief exe
cutioner i Secretary of Labor
Miss Perkins, senators, well
inToi'mcil Washington writers,
aeroplane pilots, taxi drivers,
bell hops, steel men, oil men,
and one lone optimistic boot
legger (who still believed this
country would soon sec thfi
error of its wuys and return
him back his stolen profession),
now as I say, I have asked all
these about it (For once in my
life 1 kept still and let them
do the talking.)
Now the doubt in the scheme
is in proportion to the extra
money that particular party
would be asked to put in tho
scheme, and even each dis
agree er hoped that it would
work but would prefer having
it work without effecting him.
Still many a big man was for
it heart and soul.
