None of the buildings re mains and only Indication for the passing traveler of the historical significance of the site Is a stone roadside marker installed a few years ago by the Daughters, of the American Boirnliltinn. fort Klamath was a pioneer .1 EPLEV cavalry post, founded for the purpose of pro tecting travelers and settlers against hostile Indians. . It received nationwide attention In 1872-73 at the time of the bitter. Modoc Indian war. The war was fought principally in the . Lava Beds country south of Klamath Falls,, some 80 miles from Fort , Klamath, but the fort was the only established military post in the area and troops and supplies moved over the rocky, dusty trails between that place and the Lava Beds, right through what is now the eite of Klamath's newest military installa tion, the Marine Barracks. When the war was over, the trial of Captain Jack, leader of the Modoc revolt, and five of his comrades, was held at Fort Klamath. All were convicted and sentenced to die. Later the sentences of two of the ringleaders were commuted to life imprisonment, but on October 8, 1873, Jack and three others were executed on a gallows 30 feet long and 8 feet wide. Correspondents from distant metropolitan newspapers, a number of important military officials, and a large gathering of Indians and white settlers witnessed the incident that in fact symbolized the end of the era of- Indian hostilities in the Klamath country. Sixteen years later, peace and safety were so well estab lished that Fort Klamath was abandoned. (These early-day events are recounted here, and the pictures carried in today's paper, be cause this weekend marks a great public visi tation to another Klamath military installation, the Marine Barracks. Bond-buyers by the thous ands will flock to the barracks tomorrow, and it: will add to the significance of the visit if it . is 'realized that this establishment is on the old road to Fort Klamath, and that Klamath's military background stretches back more than half a. century to the days of Old Fort Klamath.) . -K v- - . . - Political Meddling In 1863 LAMATH people may not generally know IX that there was controversy over the loca tion, of old Fort Klamath, and that it was originally understood it would be established somewhere south of what is now Klamath Falls. ' ' - The Oregon legislature memorialized congress; te 1862 to set up a military post in the Klamath country. It was supposed it would be located somewhere near the old south Emigrant road, -Which crossed the Klamath country In the vicinity of Tule and Clear lakes. Pine Grove, affew miles south, of Klamath Falls on Lost river, was a point mentioned. ; But, believe it or not, it was a jealous politi cal fight between the Rogue river valley towns of Ashland and Jacksonville that determined the final location of the fort, the final location of the fort. (There was no town- with influence at what is now Klamath Falls). 'Ashland wanted the fort on Lost river, be cause that would be nearer to Ashland. Jackson ville saw that there would be advantage for tfte neighboring town in furnishing supplies to the' post ' Jacksonville was then the county seat of Jackson county, and the Klamath coun-. try was part of that county It brought the influence of the county seat to bear on the matter, and the fort was set up in the Wood river valley, nearer, as the crow flies, to Jack sonville. . .... ; .(. . T, A: road over a difficult route was built be tween Jacksonville and the post. . , A Mistake THAT the choice of site was a mistake was . generally admitted in later years. , Lindsay Applegate, pioneer who was lnflu- ADDISON entlal In the memorial to congress asking for a post in the Klamath basin, explained in a letter written to General Benjamin Alvord in 1873 that the location of the fort on Lost river, between the Modoc country and the Klamath Indian reservation, might well have prevented the Modoc war. As it was, the fort was far removed from the south road, principal emigrant thorough fare, and it failed to serve as a deterrent to the Modocs bent on returning from the Klam ath reservation to the Lava Beds country. For this Interesting information, we are In debted to Don Fisher, now acting custodian of the Lava Beds national monument, who tells the story of the location of old Fort Klamath in an as yet unpublished book he has written, "The Modocs." It is full of such well au thenticated local history. The story of the location of Fort Klamath, as thus recounted, serves to demonstrate once again what usually happens when there is political meddling in military matters. Advertising Roundup By A. D. ADDISON MONDAY In advertising we know that you must first have merchandise of some merit before advertising will help sell it, and we're beginning to learn that ftSll - WJ uuiueuta ins i,iimi& people you must first have a well-defined idea From Chicago today we're getting the first definition of what the republicans will have a. n...!rtKt n-ann of Illinois is quoted as saying Sr"!? that the party Is dedicated to . work not only for the "herald ed objectives of the four free doms' but is resolved to re establish here In America the 33 freedoms guaranteed to all citizens under the Constitution." Principles vs. Men TUESDAY More about what the republicans have to sell. Gov. Earl Warren of Cali fornia in the keynote speech: "Put indispensable principles once and for all above indispensable men." . WEDNESDAY And more. V-P Nominee John W. Brlcker: "I am more interested in defeating the New Deal philosophy of absolutism which is threat ening America today; I am more interested in defeating that than I am ever of being presi dent of these United States." It's apparent that the republicans have an . idea, know what they're aiming at, and can state what it is. Now it's a question of whether Tom Dewey & Co. are good salesmen. a ' "Highest Price Line Limitations" THURSDAY Calling on advertisers today, the main topic was the OPA investigators, now in town checking not on ceiling prices but on highest price line limitations. That's the business - where, if you sold dollar shirts a couple of years ago, you can't take on fancy ones at more than a dollar, today a business thrown out by the OPA continuation bill now . up for the president's signature. Under the present regulation, which expires . tomorrow, one merchant is caught in the wring er thus: . During the period which determined the highest price line limitation, he stocked up on medium priced blouses in the spring, and better ones in the fall. The ignorant rascal has, since then, sold some of these better,' higher priced ones in the spring. He can sell them In the -fall, but NOT in the spring. Talking with another advertiser, we figured that it had been necessary for the OPA hired help to check 30,000 of his sales slips to de termine his highest price line limitations, and to check 70,000 more to see if he had gone over them. (He hadn't.) Laws and Enforcement FRIDAY The president today signed the bill continuing the price and wage stabilization ' act for another yean- After today the highest price line limitation will not apply to retailers. Another small item in the news: The now bankrupt Columbia Shipbuilding and Drydock company of Portland faces a pos sible penalty of more than a million dollars for having overpaid employes 3565,000 in violation of the wage stabilization act. Can you remember when they used to raise Hob for underpaying the poor wage slaves? SATURDAY They say fishing is good If you can get there. Olene Pvt. Mitchell .

The 'George Stevensons are looking forward to a visit from Mrs. Stevenson's sister and hus band, the Berkeley Duvauls of Salem. They will spend the Fourth of July week here. Other guests at the Stevenson home will be Tom Delzcll and son Croxton of Portland. - - The Jack Marshall and Eldon Kayler families were in the group of Henley families who entertained 12 'marines at a picnic Sunday at the Crooked Creek fish hatchery. They re port a wonderful time was had by all and they hope to be able to sponsor another such affair soon. The Olene and Poe valley communities were shocked and saddened by the passing of twb children from their midst less than a week apart. The first was tHJ death little Gerald Holzhouser, 7 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Erwin Holzhouser, in North Poe val ley, and the second was Nancy Louise M a s t e n, 12-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stan ley Masten, in South Poe val ley, who passed away after a 10-day illness at Hillside hos pital.

HUGH PRUETT Astronomer, General Extension Division. University of Oregon Surely the planets have gone a-hiding, for in the skies of early July only one of those rated as visible to the unaided eye is now at all conspicuous. This is JupU ter, the king of the gods, who is still a royal figure in the west during the early part of the night. His brightness still ex ceeds that of any star-like object in the heavens. The once flaming god of bat tle, the blood-stained Mars, is also in the west but, because of his greatly increased distance, is only a ghost of his arrogant self of last winter, a worn-out, shriveled-up little red dot, no brighter than a 'star of the Big Dipper. Mars and Jupiter will be less than one degree apart the evening of July 4, and through field glasses should pre sent an interesting study in con trasting colors. Lost Venus and Mercury are hope lessly lost in the solar rays, while Saturn, although now rising in the "dawn, is still too near the From Other Editors Telling The Editor Letters printed here mint not be more than 500 words In length, muet be writ, ten legibly on ONE SIDE of the paper only, and muet be signed, contributions following theee rulee, are wermly wel oomed. Editor's Note: The following poem was written by an un known author, presumably a lumberjack, as an ode to a young woman who works as a waitress in the company dining room at Canby, Calif., according to J. H. Carlson, who sent in the poem. DAISY OF CANBY What more wonderful than a woman-girl of eighteen? Who cast out all envy, bitter ness and hate; She is as a rose in a briar patch, She has eyes as blue as heav en's own blue, Bonnie brown hair, cheeks of a damask rose, Gallant young head held high, Swift are her footsteps, fleet as a deer. . A halo of gold frames that mag nanimous face, Sunlight on her brow, wind in her hair, Pretty maid from whence came thee? A chrysalis from heaven, to cheer us hoary mortals; Soldier Boy, at war's sunset, to California come Perchance Daisy of Canby, you may woo and win; For thee all the gold of million aires thou would not ex change. (Author Unknown). OXEN POWER PENDLETON, July 1 (IP) Eight oxen furnish farm power for Edwin Morrison, dairyman near here, who said he learned how to handle oxen as a youth in the Virginia hills. He plans to take the oxen to the mountains to haul timber to the highway. sun for good observation. But the evening sky gives us a splendid big moon and many bright stars, which we shall at tempt to point out. Let us start In the south and as soon as it is dark. Low down in this direction Antares, the throbbing heart of The Scorpion, is flashing his red rays with real vigor. Antares Is very distant and has over 400 times the di ameter of our sun. In the south somewhat higher, whito Altalr is easily located. Very high above Altair orange Arcturui shines at the lower end of a kite like figure. Ragulus Bright In the west huddled with Mars and Jupiter and somewhat brighter than Mars Is Rcgulus in The Lion. High In the north west the familiar Big Dipper starts to slide down the sky. Bright yellow Capella is now very near the horizon only slightly west of due north. Where skies are very clear and hills do not Interfere, it can be seen. Later in the night Capella will be east of north as it teems to encircle the North Star, Low in Sky Cassiopeia, that striking group of five stars shaped like a rather awkward W, is now rather low somewhat east of north. Later in the summer this constellation will be higher In the early night. Very high in the northeast we find Deneb at the head of the Northern Cross. Still higher, and nearly due east, Vega shines as the most brilliant star In the eastern half of the sky. Much lowed than either Deneb or Vega and a little south of east, bright Altair is conspicuous. Ten days from now when the moon will have left the evening sky, the Milky Way that glory of summer nights will be seen high across the east, extending from north to south horizons.

KLAMATH CAmAL OF A REGION (The Oregon Journal) There doubtlest wat, In tome early Oregon day, a pioneer who paused to look upon the spot be tween Upper nud Lower Klnm ath lakes. We should like to know his nitino and story, for, on that dny, ho certainly said, ' A city will stand here. Let ut build a.'1 If this pioneer, pr any other who foresaw the future of Klum rth Kalis and the Klm. . B In. could return and stand upon the somo spot, his comment would be, "I told you so,' The original judgment has been confirmed, not only by the orowth of one of Oregon s prin cipal cities, but by the acts of federal authority. A little way from the city Is a naval air base being doubled In size, where men who fly and attend currier-based nlnnrs loarn to the point of actual combat the operation of the fight ing skyeruft that fold their wings like giant beetles. The air above is dark with training. In a fold of the mountains v,v Kinmitth Falls Is an Insti lution rnnidlv being completed that is likely to render to human ity a curative service comparable with that of Louis Pnsieur win vaccines, and with Walter Reed against yellow fever. The Marino Barracks, with cnpaclty for 5000, will become a world center of research in such tropical diseases as miliaria and elephantiasis. It will be cared for by those who are under care, and Its equip ment will Include not only the fo eilitles for sanitation, feeding. supply and living, but the further devices of rcsenrcn indicated oy experience on battlefields and in the barracks. Over the line In California, but In ilm Klnmnlh Basin. Is the Jap anese relocation center at Tule Lake. Some 18,000 of the less iimcnnblp Japanese are detained here. Past troubles there have been and somo minor present ones, but during a visit In which a representative of Tho Journal participated a few days ago, the principal theme of County Agent Charles A. Henderson, Henry Se mon and Ed Geary, Klamath farmers, with commanding offi cers and technical eides, was the planting and care of beautifying trees and grass for the area. War conditions have not inflat ed Klamath population, which stands In the neighborhood of 25.000, but few communities pre sent a better economic picture. Last year's Industrial payroll at Klamath Falls, largely based up on lumber and mill operation, reached $28 million. County Agent Henderson calls attention to the fact that agricultural pro ducts totaled $2,837,000 In 1923 and $22,773,000 in 1043, Impor tantly based upon the potato crop. His Guest Editorial appears on this page today. Frank Jonk ins, able publisher of the Klam ath Falls Herald and News, re marks that, although Portland It one of the "hot payroll tpoU" of the nation, the figures recited placo Klamath Fulls in a higher per capita income bracket than Portland. Klamath Falls has tho advant age of stimulative climate, pro ductive soil and fine location, but Klamath Fulls and the Klamath Basin have also the Incalculable advantage of men who are load ers, and citizens who are civic minded.
