K'laudla Nplnkl of Chlloquln Identlllea aome of the people In thai
pleture. The view below ahowa the old alore at Yalnax, on the eaat
aide of the reservation, near Realty, now a ihoet town. The little rlrla
are. Irft. Margaret L. Efbert, now Mrs. A. H. Benaell of Plpealone,
Minn., and Claudia Hplnk, now Mra. William Loreni of Chlloquln. The
man on the atore poreh la Frank Applerate. The old atore and every
thing elae at Yainai hae long atnee been removed.
where he carried on hla bualneag
for many years, and It stilt stands
today.
The picture which I enclose Is of
my father's first atore. In Yalnax.
Ore., which Is a ghoat town today.
Il was about five miles from the
present town of Bprague River,
and was a sub-agency and Indian
training school for that end of the
reservation. After these were closed
Wolford and Wann, two young go
getters, who bought thla atore from
futhrr. pint led the town of
Hprngue Hlver. and moved over
there bug and baggage, as a fine
new mill was Just opening opera
tion.. Thla atore building was built In
1903 by an Indian carpenter by
the name of Davey Venneman.
And right here I would like lo puf
In a good word for the Indiana of
that generation. They were for the
most part reliable, Industrious and
competent.
The man you see standing on
the front porch la young Frank
Applegate, the oldest son of CapL
O. C. Applegate, and the clerk.
The two little girls are, the small
er, Margaret Kgoeri. wnose father
was the sub-agent at Yalnax, and
who took the picture. Across the
road. In a field, and under a lante
pine tree. Is a HtUe grave, sur
rounded by a white picket fence;
the baby sutler of Margaret Is
burled there. She was barn, lived
briefly, and died In this small out
post of clvtlmtlon 45 years ago.
The taller girl Is myself. The other
man seated on the porch Is John
Bias, also an Indian policeman.
The policemen. If I remember cor
rectly, received the huge sum of
thirty, dollurn a month, their unl-
lorms nun tne unuue 01 auuiuruy.
Hprlng ( rrea
At this time I wish to correct a
recent iiilMUteinerit In The Herald
and News news Item concerning
the locution of Hprlng creek being
in the Wood river area. Wood river
valley him enough in Its own right
lo be proud of, without presenting
It with Hprlng creek also. While
Hprlng crnck Is the only one of lis
kind, and need riot Uke second
Dlace Ut any natural beauty In
Oregon, only Outer luke excepted.
II Is In the Wllllamnon river area
five miles above Chtlouuln. Need
less to add we In tills section are
very proud of Its perfection.
This month I will have lived a
half century In Klamath, but for
the periods that 1 went away for
schooling. I have been proud and
content lo have spent, the best
years of my life here, to have
watched the great progress and
developments of my country, and
to know that there are still great
er ones to come. And I am more
aware of thla. this spring, as I
realize our great natural resources,
especially our water, which so
many other states wish wistfully
that they could capture, somehow.
The untimely snows that I hear so
many people berate, make the
sturdy forests, the lui.h grass, the
fal cattle, and the fine crops ol
which we boast In our annual re
ports. And so to quote my first
boss, beloved Capt. Lee. who was
so long Klamath's popular asses
sor, and also famed for his potent
mint Juleps and four lovely daugh
ters, whenever he wished to plan
for the future, "If the Lawd Is
willing." I hope to see many more
years In Klamath.
