A Klamath Quake
OTHER areas ven such interior regions as that
around Helena, Mont., may have earthquakes, but
Klamath residents are inclined to think of seismic dis
turbances as something entirely foreign to this part of
the country.
.That's not entirely the case. Not in the memory of
most of the residents of the Klamath country has there
been a definitely "diaenosed" earthciuake in this section
but northern Klamath county has a record of a unique
Bhock. . ,
It occurred on January 8, 1867, and it is described in
a highly interesting article on Oregon earthquakes ap
pearing in the Sunday Oregonian under the name -of
Phil Brogan. Bend newspaper man.
The Klamath disturbance was reported from Fort
Klamath, where there was an army post in that early
day. Dr. Warren D. Smith, University or Oregon
geologist, obtained information about this quake that
made him wonder if some mountain harm t collapsed at
the time of the shock.
An eye-witness account of the Fort Klamath quake
was written to the Sentinel by a quartermaster's clerk.
Here it is, as reprinted in the Oregonian article :
The earthquake of the Klamath, basin, noted at Fort Klamath,
was one of the first ever recorded In Oregon. Dr. Smith la con
fident that this disturbance waa a Tolcanlc eruption, accompanied
by earthquakes. There is one classic account of that earth dis
turbance, a communication in the Oregon Sentinel, which was
probably a bit colored by fright or oversensitive imagination of
the writer. ' .
"We hare singular If not serious news to" send by the express
Just leaving," a quartermaster's clerk at Fort Klamath wrote
to the Sentinel on January 8, 1867. y
"This morning at daylight we were startled from our sleep
by tha precipitate shock of an earthquake. Immediately followed
by a noise as of distant thunder. But. in a little while quiet
reigned, and everyone was conversing .and laughing heartily at
tha singular phenomenon; but our countenances soon underwent
a serious change, for H began to grow dark;' the whole heavens
". were full of a very black smoke or cloud; the air had a sulphur
ous smell, and ashes of a brownish color fell as fast as I ever saw
It snow. We had to nse candles in the messroom.
"Most of ns went in to breakfast, hut had only got fairly
Into our seats when, horror npon horror, the earth seemed roll
ing like waves npon the ocean; everyone was thrown to the floor,
only, on regaining their feet, to be placed in the same position
again, accompanied with the rattling of dishes, the crashing of
window glass, cracking of timber and buildings and the screams
of the frightened. Yon could not Imagine a more perfect chaos.
"Some of ns had gained the door, and such a sight met our
gate as waa probably never before beheld. The tall pines around
the fort seemed lashing themselves Into fury; the wagons in front
of the stable were engaged in a pitched battle; horses, and cattle
were lying crouched upon the ground, uttering the most pitiful
.- moans, dogs were howling, and unearthly cries of the Klamath
Indians camped near the fort completed the scene.
"There waa no very serions damage done to any of the build
ings, all being log and frame houses, but I do not think there
Is a pane of glass left at the post. Most of us are of the opinion
that a volcano has broken loose near the Klamath marsh. There
was but balf an hour between the first and second shocks."
This report may have been somewhat colored by the
witness' excitement at the moment of writing, but it must
tell a fairly accurate story.
Since that time, there have been no earth shocks of
any importance in the Klamath country. One was re-
ported from Linkville in 1872 or 1873. About four years
aeo eartn tremors were believed to have occurred in
the mountains southwest of here, but no ope was quite
sure whether it was an earthquake or not. Earthciuakes
are something abdut which people of the Klamath coun
try, it seems, need not be concerned personally.
Hank Semon is winning some publicity for Klamath
potatoes down Salem way. The Marion hotel is serving
a dish called "potatoes a la Semon" in honor of the
Klamath representative. Bits of bacon and green pep
pers are used in the concoction, which is said to be doing
the reputation of the Klamath spud no harm.
Get It Going
WORK relief is supposed to supplant direct relief un
der the federal government's program, but it hasn't
made much headway in that direction here. More than
100 persons are now on direct relief, receiving assistance
and giving nothing in return, who would be working on
WPA projects if there were any. . . . , .
There may be some argument as to which is the wiser
policy the dole or work relief but if we are com
mitted to the work relief idea, it ougnt to get going.
The responsibility for making WPA a success rests in
part on local subdivisions, which must offer worthy pro
jects that will bring public improvements as well as pro
vide work for persons on relief. Not a great many such
projects have been offered from Klamath county, but
there are some applications in.
Experience with CWA and SERA work relief pro
grams was that the program was slow in getting started,
it was hampered all the way through by red tape, and
in general was not responsive to heeds, . either for im
provement or for work-giving. Is WPA going to be
equally unsatisfactory? ,
Adolph's
Observations
THERE are a limited num
ber of people that don't get
all excited and fussed up at
every provocation. Some folks
seem, to be able to remain
poised and hold their temper
undor very trying circum
stances. Then there are those
who get plenty mad but re
frain from blowing up becaur-1
they are philosophical enough
to reason that It wouldn't do
an)' good and maybe plenty
harm.
I was In a restaurant Satur
day evening when a drunken
lot of rowdies tipped part of
the counter over and pulled
three seats loose from the
floor. The boss came In from
the kitchen with a meat cleaver
In his hand and I though may
be he would kill somebody but
he Just stood there and looked
the situation over and finally
he smiled a little.
I asked him If he ever got
mad and he said, "What's the
use, I can't whip anybody."
What of It If Italy was found
guilty by a committee of the

HYDE PARK, N. V., Nov. 4
An Inner view of President
Roosevelt's Hyde Park prvss eon
fcrenros Is generally available
only to the few correspondents
who regularly accompany him
from Washington. The confer
ences are small, more Intimate,
affording a better close-up of the
man and his method of contact
with the public.
Eight men and one woman
comprise the public contact dele
gation this trip. They file Into
the presidential office. It Is a
IS-by-10 cubbyhole about one-
tweniloth the site of his Wash
ington workroom. The a 'proach
la direct from the driveway, pro
venting any view of the iuterlor
of the mansion.
President Roosevelt Is seated
at a small mahogany desk next
to the only window, which looks
out upon an uninspiring drive
way entrance. Callors wonder
why he did not choose a large
room on the other side of the
house, commanding a magnifi
cent view of the Hudson, Instead
of this ex-servants' pantry.
SKXS1TIVITY
The president permits no such
wondering. He speaks at once to
the callers as they come through
the door. He doubts that they
were all abed when the earth
quake occurred at 1:00 o'clock
that morning. He Implies also
that some of them may not have
been able to feel the shock at
that late hour, after an evening
of tap room relaxation. In sim
ilar vein, they ask it ha felt it.
Mr. Roosevelt recalls It very
definitely. It awakened him. Ho
realized at once what It was.
How long did it last? About IS
seconds.- How did he know it
waa an earthquake? He remem
bered one as a child. Waa thore
any noise? No, but the sldenlse
movement of the bouse permitted
him to recognize it. The secret
service men scurried around the
yard, lighting the lights. No
damage? No damage.
Note Behind this close renor-
torial cross-examination appar
ently was the' fact that all the
callers bad compared experiences
earlier, and found that none
knew there been an earthquake,
although few of them were
asleep and all were within six
miles of Hyde Park at the time.

to let a note of doubt creep lino

the president may have been fool
ing, that he dreamed It, or read
it in the morning papers.
POLITICS
Halt an hour later It develops
that the president, after all. Is
going to huve ona caller that day.
Federal Judge Mack - of Now
York. The son of Judge Mack
is running for the assembly in
this dlctrict, with ' the election
only a few days off. Further
more, Son "Boy" Mack, as thev
call him locally, la the latest
democratic figure around whom
Mr. ltiK)8: volt's friends have been
trying to clustor a democratlo or
ganization In ultra-conservative,
ultra-republican Dutchess county.
The race Is said to be so close
that 200 votes will decide it.
Thus are more doubts engen
dered that the headline writer.
who anticipated that Mr. Roose
velt would exert some local poli
tical leadurshlp. Is as foolish as
he was suopectod of being,
being.
HTYI.R
A slatlou wagon drives up to
the front door us the callers
leave. Out of It sttps, not a
maid or a gardener, but the pres
ident's mother, Mrs. Surah
Roosevelt. Friends explain she
often prefers the station wagon
to the numerous White House
limousines and her own big cur.
The first lady Is away lit Chi
cago, the children are all at
school. The gardenor on the
front lawn has not looked up
from raking the damp autumn
leaves at Buy of tho comings or
goings. Tho visitors all leave.
Rural peace returns to Hyde
Park and its squire At least. It
did for the rest of that day as
far as anyone was able to learn.
XEGAT7VE DAYS
Did the president act on th.it
Montana earthquake request?
Yes, he had sent' word to the
army, Red Cross and relief ad
ministration to cooperate.
What are those pictures on his
desk? The 134-pound sailfish
he caught on his trip. Some of
them show the fish frozen in Ice.
(Pictures are handed around).
Gus (his bodyguard) caught one
16 pounds ' heavier, but it was
not in very good condition. Also,
Gus's - catch was ruled out be
cause be got a muscle cramp in
nis arm , while playing It.
(Laughter.) Was that a record?
No, the president thinks the rec
ord catch was 36 pounds heavier
than his.
Is there any news at all? No.
This ia a negative day. The
three musketeers, a trio of news
men who accompanied blm on
the Panama trip, got used to
negative days and did not even
try to concoct any news.
(Laughter.) Is ne baring any
visitors?. (The reply was s nega
tive shake of the head.)
He saw In the papers a suit
gestlon that he was at Hydo
fark to direct New York politi
cal strategy for Tuesday's elec
tion. (Laughter.) Wbo wrote
tbat story? (All present deny
it. Blame Is finally attached to
an unidentified headline writer,
75 miles away.)
WO.VDEIt
The. woman reporter asks how
the president observed Hallow
e'en. He went to bed. Does he
have any plans which would
make a story? Well, he Is going
on a family picnic after church
Sunday. Anything on Europe?
Not a peep has come to him from
the state department since he
left.
One reporter observes that the
president must have had a hair
cut. Yes, the barber worked on
him the other day. (There Is some
personal banter, off-the-record,
aDout the haircut.)
A reporter Bays the biggest
news of the day was the fact that
the presidential secretary, Steve
Early, lost $3 to a newspaper
man playing golf. The president
is astounded at such a misad
venture, doubts Its accuracy. Mr.
Ji-any explains that the newsman
claimed a handicap , of 12S
strokes and then shot 21 under
bis handicap.
