Varied Ideas
On Fringe
Suburban and rural toning was
agreed upon as needed, but the
methods of accomplishing it
ci.me in for varied opinions at
a meeting held here yesicrday
on the occasion of a visit to
Klamath Falls by the state com
mittee named to study the
problem.
Klamath's highly developed
fringe area formed the back
ground for a lengthy discission,
with Commissioner William
Eowes of Portland, head of the
governor's committee, presiding
at the conference. Bowrr ex
plained that the committee is
investigating opinion ovei the
state as to the need for an en
abling act which would permit
county courts, when asked to
clo so, to set up county zoning
tommittecs. These committees
would establish zoning regula
tions in certain areas outside in
corporated cities, in order to
promote the best use of land and
an orderly pattern of develop
ment, cities aireany nave gen
eratlv ndoDted znnlntf nrosrams.
Ned Smith and Alva Lewis,
officers of the Suburban league
which is active in the nearby
southeast suburbs, said they
thought zoning important, but
Klamaths Deny
Fremont Blow
(Continued From Page One)
these men returned, some of the
Indians wanted to follow Fre
mont and annihilate the entire
expedition, but the wiser ones
advised against it and won out,
otherwise Fremont never would
have gotten out alive.
The Klamath Indians are
proud of the fact that they have
been able to withstand many
injustices practiced upon them
like the Fremont episode. Modoc
war, exclusion of lands from
the reservation by so-called er
roneous surveys, claiming of
school lands, swamp lands, etc.,
most of which the federal courts
have upheld our aboriginal
rights, established bv treaty, in
which the U. S. supreme court
has declared our treaty is as
sacred as any treaty made with a
foreign power.
that a Delaware scout, named
Crane killed a Klamath chief.
No Klamath chief was ever kill
ed by Fremont's expedition.
Some old folks, women and chil
dren were killed on Williamson
river, May 12, 1846, which Fre
mont says is the date he battled
Klamath Indians.
The inconsistency of Fre
mont's story regarding the
Klamath Indians is proof that
not all of his story is true, in
vour story you mention one
place that "Next day they (Fre
mont's men) moved south along
the lake, probably to Barkley
springs." It would have been im
possible at that time for Fre
mont to have followed the lake
from the Williamson river vicin
ity to Barkley springs because
the rock slide came right down
rather steeply into the lake it
self, preventing any travel even
by foot along the lake. The route
followed by Fremont was over
what is now Chiloquin ridge and
thence south to where the Ma
rine barracks are situated. Even
the Indians did not try to follow
the lake shore on foot or horse
back. The Indians used canoes
along this shore and also to get
to Klamath Falls.
The Klamath Indians have for
given and forgotten the episode,
including other injustices prac
ticed upon the Klamaths and
sincerely hope that the future
will not be like the early past,
with its malice and treachery,
but instead, full of kindly co
operation and honest dealing as
the Good Book says.'

Tulelake Growers
Building Elevator
TULELAKE, Aug.-9 West,
Lyon and Pinhall, grain and
potato growers, are building a
grain elevator just off the Al
turas highway. The elevator will
have a capacity of 5000 sacks
and will be a laminated structure
covered by sheet metal. The
building is to be 35 feet high
and arranged so that one railroad
car can be loaded with grain
every 45 minutes. Southern Pa
cific is planning to lay a 500-foot
spur to the building.
The elevator will be completed
in approximately six weeks.
Former Resident Hurt
In Tumble From Tree
Mrs. George Gardinier, form
er resident of Klamath Falls,
now living in Clatskanie, Ore.,
was injured Saturday when she
fell from a cherry tree. She
was taken to the Emanuel hos
pital in Portland where she is
suffering from a broken pelvic
bone and a compressed ver
tebra. According to a letter re
ceived from her by her sister-
in-law, Mrs. Frank Gardinier
of 2Z0 Lincoln, she will prob
ably be in the hospital for four

Drunken Indians Get
Tulelake Jail Terms
TULELAKE, Aug. 9-Two
Chiloquin Indians appeared be-
Capek Thursday morning and
were charged with being drunk
and disorderly. They were Mar
vin Thompson, 23, and Ralph
tester, 24. They were fined $15
but as they were unable to pay,
tlie Judge sentenced them tc four
days of labor.
Expressed
Area Zoning
that the authority might best be
vested in a zoning committee set
uv for individual areas and made
up of residents of those areas.
Lewis, in particular, said ht was
wary of any scheme which would
impose any outside zoning regu
lations on the suburban district
in which he resides.
Southeast Area Active
Lewis said that the southeast
suburban area is now forming a
fire district, is considering a
sanitary district, should have a
road district, and might well or
ganize a planning or zoning dis
trict. Smith said there is con
siderable sentiment there for a
sanitary district, and petitions
are now being circulated for a
tire district.
It was emphasized in the dis
cussion that there is at piesent
no movement under way cither
inside or outside the city to
bring about early annexation of
large suburban areas to Klamath
Falls. Proposed annexation of
tne small, closely-attached area
at South Sixth and Shasta way.
coming up in November was
regarded as a separate matter
with different factors involved.
Bowes and his committee said
thev were deeolv impressed by
Jie extent of suburban develop
ment here, and also by the
amount of building now going
on in the areas they observed.
They asked numerous questions
about present and future popula
tion, industrial and business de
velopment, and other matters.
Thev were told that school
census figures indicate the pres
ent population of Klamath Falls
and its immediate suburbs is
about 30,000. divided possibly at
about 18,000 in the city and
12.000 outside. In 1840, the divi
sion was about 16,500 inside and
10.000 outside.
One estimate for 1950 was
35.000 for the "metropolitan
area" with about 20,000 inside
and 15,000 outside.
Local people said they be
lieved any new large industrial
plants would probably be lo
cated outside the city in the
nearby area.
After the meeting, the state
committee left for Bend to
gather more information and
opinions before drafting sugges
tions for the governor and the
legislature.

Solon Predicts
Raise In Taxes
WASHINGTON. Aug. 9
Rep. Clarence J. Brown of Ohio,
republican national committee
campaign director, said today
President Truman's revised bud
get estimates mean the people
can expect only "higher and
higher taxes and more and more
spending" at the hands of the
democrats.
Brown, in a statement issued
by national party headquarters
today, said the revised estimate
is "accepted in the spirit in
which, presumably, it was given
as a political issue In the 1946
elections."
"Mr. Truman," Brown added,
"has talked about balanced bud
gets before, and before him Mr.
Roosevelt talked about balanced
budgets for many long years, but
every result was the same
more deficits and more debt."
Referring to the new estimates
of tax collection receipts. Brown
said that by the time the reve
nue books "show how much Mr.
Truman's estimate is in error,
the election will be over. Re
member he admits his January
estimates were 25 per cent in
error."

McNarney Claims U. S. Zone
Not Palestine
FRANKFURT, Germany, Aug
9 ,1) Gen. Joseph T. McNar
ney said today Itie U, S, zone
of Germany was not a way
station to Palestine, and pre
dicted that displaced persona
would cost American taxpayers
at east smi.oou.miu a yeur"
after UNRRA suspends opera
tions. McNarney reported a "well-
organized movement of Jews
into American-occupied Ger
many, with an organized
evacuation of Jews from Po
land." '
"I am trying to discourage
organized movements from
other areas," the U. S. com
mander in Europe said. "The
United States has never udopt-
ed the policy that the United
States zone is a way-station on
the way to Palestine or any
other place."
McNarney's statement came
while the British government
apparently wa.r arranging a
blockade or raicsune against
unauthorized immigrants.
Almost simultaneously, the
commander of the British zone
in Germany, Air Marshal Sir
Sholto Douglas, expressed
grave misgivings about fur
ther refugee immigration into
that zone. Douglas said the
British had tightened their controls.

British Ready
To Act Alone
LONDON. Aug. 9 (P) A for
eign office spokesman said today
that if any "violent or sudden"
threat to British lives or prop
erty took place In Iran, Britain
would nof be obligated to con
sult the United Nations security
council but would feel justified
in taking "unilateral action."
The government of Iran an
nounced yesterday that it had
protested the movement of In
dian troops to Basra .a port in
Iraq at the head of the Persian
gulf, and had requested their
removal.
The first announcement of the
hoop movement, which came
fiom the Indian government,
said the troops were being sent
in case of any disturbance.
Labor difficulties recently have
plagued operation of the British
owned oil installations.
The spokesman told a news
conference a state of "law and
order" did not disappear gradu
ally and "there may not be time
to consult the United Nations."
When a questioner remarked
that the United Nations security
council was permanently in ses
sion, the spokesman replied,
"the security council has no
troops."

McNarney said Poland was
"perfectly In the clear" in the
evacuation of Jews from that
country. He noted the Warsaw
government "has passed laws

tempted to resettle Jews from
Russia, but it has little control
over the large numbers of the
Polish population who are anti
Semitic." McNarney's adviser on Jew

that 100,000 Jews would flee
Poland within the next year to
escape "robbing, beating and

The find was reported to the

Lloyd Low and Deputy Jack
Francy spent several hours
tramping over the Sand creek
country but found no woman, no
evidence of foul play, no scantily
clad wood nymphs or anything
except the clothes, which were
brought back and lodged in the
county jail.
Sheriff Low said the cluthing
was fairly new and not what any
one would throw away. It ap
peared to have been discarded
about a week before being found.
The angle of why two dresses
and only one of everything else
