Superintendent Doubtful Government Will Allow Direct Payment The Klamath Indian tribe In council aeaalon Friday voted down their delegates' program and over whelmingly approved direct pro rain division of the f 5.000,000 Judgment In the Yamaay Mountain cose against the government. By a vole of 170 to 5 the intra bare of the tribe, refuaed the plan drawn up by Tribal Delegates Dice Crane and Boyd Jackson which provided for certain sinking and loan funds In addition to per cap ita payment pf about half the Judg ment. Big Margin The vote waa 149 to 6 In favor of per capita payment of the whole amount. B. O. Courtrlght, superintendent of the Klamath agency, said Fri day night be was not sure that congress or the department or in torlor would approve of the trlbe'a action and that probably, further conference would be necessary to adjuat differences, . " Dividing th 15,513,000 Judg ment evenly among the 14S0 tribe members will give each member more than 13500 since the Judg ment will continue to draw Interest until the money la appropriated and paid by the government, whl;h la not expected for about a year. The original debt was something ovor 12,00,000 for timber on land bought from the Indians and given to a wagon road company for building a military road. For 17 years, while the tribe waa fighting In court for the monoy, Interest was building the sum ,up until when the Judgment was recently nfflrmed by the supreme court the total had roached over (7,700,000. When the tribe won Its case the government secured the right to deduct from the amount certain expenditures made In bebalt of the Indians. These expenditures ap proximately equalled the original debt, leaving the (5,000,000 In In terest to be divided among the tribe.

FIGHT PWA PROGBflM SET Anti-New Dealers Seek to Cut Public Works From Spend-Lend Bill .' WASHINGTON, May 14 P) A group of republicans nnd conserva tive democrats In the senate said todny they would try to eliminate all funds for public works from the (3,154,000,000 spending-lend- Ing program recommended by Prosident Roosevelt. This would reduce It by about one-half. The group, led by Senator Byrd (D-Va). said It would support ap propriations tor the works pro gress administration and other direct relief agencies but would oppose any "pump-prlmlng" public works. ! Penalties for Political Use The bill approved by the house included (1.465,000,000 for public works loans nnd grants. Tbo senate opponents of funds for public works snid they might demand: A requirement that states put up from one-fourth to one-third of rellof outlays.

Outdoor Beauty in the Klamath Candidates Find Difficulty Arousing Public Enthusiasm Klamath's listless primary cam paign moves through uncertain waters to an unpredictable finish. Although several contests give Indication of being anybody's race until the last vote Is counted Fri day night, the candidates are finding it tough going to work up any great amount of public in terest. Many citizens apparently are not even sure yet who is running for what. In view of that uncer tainty, there's a good chance yet in some of the contests to sway a MOTORCYCLIST GRAVELY INJURED IN COLLISION WITH WOOD TRUCK HERE Jlmmv Plowman, about 30, was seriously injured shortly be fore 7130 o'clock Saturday morn ing when a motorcycle on which he wns riding Struck, a truck op erated by Harold Stewart, 1122 Division street at the intersec tion of Spring and Hood streets. Plowman, who gave his ad dress as 723 Klamath avenue, was taken to Hillside hospital whore attendants iate ' Saturday thought amputation' of one leg would be necessary. . Plowman Is thought to be unemployed. ; According to ; police . reports, Sfnwnrr wna oneratlnc a Holl- bronner and Rea truck, and was making a "U" turn on Spring street at Hood. A, car drove thrniiffh the Intersection causing Stewart to make an almost com plete atop, according to the re port, and Immediately after the firat ear had nnnsed the Inter section Plowman struck the. left side of the truck, , Tho mntnrpvelft. with tho driv er, catapulted about 35 feet from the point of Impact, nnd when police arrived. Plowmau was on th pavement close to the mach ine. A piece of steel, thought to have come from the motorcycle, had penetrated the back of Plnwmnn'n neck, nollce statod. and he aufferod cuts and bruises about the head and body In ad dition to the tiaaiy iracturea leg.

Bad Reputation Opinions vary as to what per centage of the registration will be out to vote Friday. Klamath has built up a miserable reputation for 30 and 35 per cent primary votes, this being due in part to the fact that there is a consider able shifting population here, many registrants being not even residents of the county at election time, In the primary of 1936, only 34 per cent of the registered vot ers turned out. However, in the general election of that year it was a presidential election 69.2 per cent of the registration of 20,816 turned out to the polling places. More than 12,000 voted in that election. Poll Book Purge This time, the registration is about 18,000, a lot of the "dead wood" having been eliminated in a poll book purge. If 12.000 turn out this time. It will be a 66 or 67 per cent vote. But opin ion seems to be that there will not be that large a vote some pre dicting It will go as low as 40 (Continued on Pago Five) PROPOSED BONNEVILLE RATES NATION'S CHEAPEST WITHIN LIMITED REGION WASHINGTON. May 14 (P) The cheapest wholesale power rates in the nation, the TV A nnd private utilities notwithstanding, will be available to a limited reg ion of the northwest If the federal power commission approves the schedules submitted for Bonne ville dam by Its power adminis trator, J. D. Ross. Within an area bounded by Astoria, Aberdeen, Yakima, Walla Walla and Eugene, which can be served under a projected gen erator and transmission line de velopment to cost (14,000,000, the average user of electricity will pay about three cents a kllowat hour for powor unless he uses the electricity continuously. The, more he uses the power, In effect the less it costs him be cause Ross's plan Is based on only one use of electricity the maxi mum. In other words, a house holder who skimps on his1 electric ity will, nonetheless, pay as much for It as he who lets his lights burn'24 hours a day. Total Country Department Expanded by Board, La Grande Man Chosen Head Final decisions on the estab lishment of a full-time music directorship for Klamath Union high school, and selection of An drew Lowney, La Grande, for the position, were accomplishments of the high school board at a meet ing late Friday. Lowney Is one of five outstand ing applicants for the Job, Prin cipal Lloyd B. Emery said Satur day. Emery Interviewed all of them, and described Lowney as "one of the outstanding men in this work In the state." He added that he hopes Lowney will accept the post. Extra-Curricnlar Activities Lowney Is now -supervisor for the city school system at La Grande. Ex-La Granders living In Klamath Falls recommended him highly to the board. Emery Bald that it Is hoped the addition of a full-time teacher, In music will make possible more extra-curricular music activities. Beuiah Gore will be asslsant to Lowney, while Ray Coopey, who has been helping with music work, will devote all his time to science Instruction. j 100 More Students . Emery said that It is hoped the citizens who have supported the plan for a full-time music directorship will continue their cooperation so that - students in music may be better equipped. About 30 citizens attended a re cent board meeting to urge the roorganizntion and expansion' of the music department. It Is expected about 100 more students will attend Klamath union high school next year than were in attendance this year. This estimate Is based on the size of eighth grade graduation class es. About five teachers will be added to the staff to take care of this additional enrollment.
