Rain Or Snow

It was a loss -up, in me

Spud Carload
Figures Given
A total of 997 railroad car
loads of potatoes were shipped
from the Klamath basin during
the month of January, accord
ing to department of agriculture
figures. The total to date for the
shipping season is 7206 carloads.
Despite the daily variances in
shipping due to the weather,
which at times slowed daily
shipments to 18 or 19 carloads,
January's total was greater than
that for December which was
only 882 carloads, a difference
of 115 carloads. January truck
shipments are yet to be reported.
The seasonal total for 1946-47
Is still under .the season of
1945-46, which was 7809 car
loads to the same date.
The department of agriculture
figures show that a greater
number of potatoes are being
stored in the basin area than
before. Also it was pointed out
the basin is developing several
. industries to make use of pota
toes, thereby making a good
market at home and doing away
with the necessity of shipping
out of the basin for sale.

By HAL BOYLE
WASHINGTON (PV Today
at long last I learned the secret
of this overlooked civilization.
There are no peace pipes being
smoked along the Potomac. I
found the reason after venturing
single-handed into the dark laby
rinth of the great stone icpee
where the two opposing main
tribes the "republicans ana
the "democrats" feud in twi
light. This battleground is desig
nated the "capitol."
I took along a compass and a
ball of string, tying one end to
a toe of the statue nearest tne
door, and unrolled my way slow
ly into the dim interior. Thrice
I passed forlorn visitors from
nearby villages who appealed to
me despairingly.:
"How in heaven's name do
you get out of here?"
I told them to grope back
along my trailing piece of twine
and they rushed away uttering
the whimsical local cry of grati
tude: "Thanks, Mac!"
Tom Toms of Trouble
Unobserved. I sat and watched
the rival tribal chieftains of
this strange race exchange war
talk. Their words were tom
toms of trouble. Yet these tribes
behave most peculiarly. When
ever one great chief rose to
speak, the other chiefs of both
tribes rose and raced for the
corridor. All except those too
tired or old to defend themselves
by flight. These merely sat in
strained fatigue, scratching
themselves occasionally or read
ing the journals which record
the battlefield activities.
The chiefs of both tribes ap
pear to a man to have overde
veloped laryngeal reflexes, and
at the same time their ears are
seemingly allergic to all oratory
except their own. Perhaps this
tenderness of the tympanum ac
counts for all the warfare: they
hear no counsel except their
own voices.
Most puzzling is the fact that
the members of the two tribes
fight among each other almost
as much as they do against each
other, certainly the mark of an
aboriginal society.
Bemused by these conflicting
oddments, I encountered an old

Plays To Tell
Basin History
The idea of a scries of radio
plays dramatizing episodes In
Klamath basin history, came
from the Soroptimist club and Is
one of the projects of the club
for 1947.
Mrs. Geneva Duncan, presi
dent of the Klamath County His
torical society, states that the
piny scries idea is entirely the
Soroptimists' and the society hi
only cooperating with material
for the episodes, to be drama
tized. The statement was made
to clear up a point in the story
of the society's meeting, which
appeared in Thursday's Herald
and News, and from which the
public might be led to credit
the society with the Idea.
Mrs. George Hillis originally
presented the Idea to the Sorop
timists of which she is a mem
ber. It was discussed by the
group and approved by the presi
dent, Mrs. Gertrude Moore.
The Rev. Godfrey Matthews
has been asked to direct the
plays which will be 15-minute
presentations over radio station
KFJI. Casts for the dramatiza
tions will be taken from the
Community Players group, also
directed by Mr. Matthews.
The first of the scries Is being
prepared by Mrs. Ida Momyer
Odell, Soroptimist, and will deal
with Indian folklore of the
Klamath and Modoc tribes. Mrs.
Duncan will write the next two
episodes around the early trap
