KLAMATH INDIANS
ARE WEALTHIEST
OF ANYJNNATION
Per Capita Worth Placed At
$28,000 Reservation Is
Richest Community On
Earth Says Bureau Head.

Correspondent
WASHINGTON. July 35.(AP
Although much hu been written
about the wealth of the Cherokee
and Osage Indians In Oklahoma from
their rich oil lands, the Klamath In
diana of Oregon, In their Tillages In
tha cloud-swept mountain and on
the plaint, have remained compara
tively unnoticed wltn their per capita
wealth of almost twice that of the
middle western tribesmen.
The Klamath reservation, where
the per capita wealth amounts to
$2e,000, was d'icriDed ny ionunis
sloner John Collier of the bureau of
Indian affairs as the richest com
munity on earth.
He pointed out that the per capita
wealth there at 6 per cent Interest
amounted to an annual income of
.1700 per person or 8600 per family
each year.
Million Acre Plot
Recent Investigations by the Indlsn
bureau turned the spotlight on the
Klamaths, living peacefully on their
one million-acre plot In the Oregon
mountains, surrounded by vast pine
and Douglas fir forest filled with
deer and watered by the swift streams
pouring1 down from their mountain
sources.
Collier pointed out that there may
be other communities in the United
Btatea where the per capita la more
than 926,000 and cited some of the
fashionable suburbs of New York.
But this, he slad, would be only an
average of the wealth of the rich
men with the millions of dollars,
and of their servants with meager
salaries.
In the moutalns of southern Ore
gon, however, where the Klamath
tribe holds forth, every person has
Ms or her 1 28, 000 or it equivalent
In forests in the tribal property.
The picture la not so bright when
ft Is considered that the wealth la
In standing timber which, at the
present time, would ba hard to turn
Into actual cash. But figures ob
tained from the bureau showed that
the income of the tribe over the past
SO years hns exceeded $10,000,000 In
actual cash.
Life Is Easy
In addition to whatever Income
the tribesmen obtain from the sale
of forest lands, they can get aa much
nn they can earn by their own efforts.
They can possibly, in normal times,
make fair wages working In the lum
ber Industry and obtain from the
stt earns nearly everything they want
to eat.
The Indian bureau pointed out
that practically all of the more than
1300 members of the tribe ar gath
ered In the three villages of Chllo
quln, Bprague River and Beatty, while
a few live on their own farms scat
tered over the mountain aides.
Life, the reports say. Is comfort
able on the reservation and there Is
little Incentive to Individual effort.
The Indians have largely discarded
the old customs and dreas of their
people, only a few old men clinging
to the old ways: The others have
adopted the drees, ways and manners
om the white mrn, living In substan
tial houses and wearing "store
clothes."

Dllllnger snd Mrs."Keele first met.
Mra. Sage, twice married, ana
also known as Mrs. Anna Miller and
Mrs. Anna Chllak, admitted, the
police said, that Dllllnger had been
In her apartment "three or iour
evenlnge" but denied reports, prev
iously circulated, that he had room
ed there. She said she waa well ac
quainted with Sergeant Zarkovich,
who has been credited in some re
ports as the man who trailed Dll
llnger down.
Phone Number Secret
Mrs. Keele, also known by her
maiden name of Polly Hamllon, kept
company with Dllllnger, Mrs. Sage
said, but the hunted outlaw would
not let Mrs. Keele know his tele
phone number on the pretext he
was a married man.
The "girl in red" told Captain
Stege that D1U Inger came to her
house last Sunday evening, when he
played cards with Mrs. Keele, whose
picture, the police said they learned,
was In Dillinger'i watch.
Captain Stege asked her, "After
you had your dinner Sunday night,
who suggested that you go to the
theater?"
"Dllllnger did."
"He suggested that theater?' ask
ed Stege.
Yes.
'In the theater I found a seat In

saw them coming up the aisle and

that "we must no longer permit the

Declaring that the Democratic par

ple, had fulfilled "virtually every ma

Senator Charles L. McNary of Ore
gon, minority floor leader, had offered
only "clean, and fair' oppoiltion to
the administration.
Farley urged that Charles H. Mar

cratic nominee for governor, be elect

and able a governor as we in Wash
ington have found him a loyal and
conscientious legislator." He expjese

Turning from the Democratic side

"Now we begin to hear complaints"
about the recovery program, "and the
ghost dancers of the Republican party

you look closely you will see the same
familiar masks that they wore in the

"Naturally," he continued, "men

DISTINCT VALUE
The educational program In the
CCO camps of the ninth corps area
haa passed the preliminary stage of
organization and haa already proved
one of the most valuable features of
the Civilian Conservation corps proj
ects." This waa the statement of J. B
Grlffing, educational adviser for the
ninth corps area, who conferred with
officers and educational advisers of
the Medford district here Tuesday.
Every camp commander and educa
tional adviser from the 21 camps of
the district were here to discuss their
vroblems and make plans for the
future.
Major Clare H. Armstrong, district
commander, addressed the group and
pointed out that the program in the
camps was not one of formal study
but was a project In character build
ing and citizenship. Through the co
operation of the forest service agen
cies, the men are being given voca
tional training as well as the elements
necessary to make them good citizens
when their "hitch" with the CCC is
over.
Mr. Grlffing, who came here from
San Francisco for the conference,
commended Major Armstrong for hav
ing laid the framework for a suc
cessful program here.
"The camp commanders and. ad
visers under Major Armstrong have
completed the early stages of an en
tirely new educational plan, and will
now be able to go ahead with confi
dence." said Mr. Grlffing.
