But it was sure enough spring for

Talking to Charlie Stanton from
Rosebure the other day and he
mentioned some new chemical de
velopment he had heard about
recently that has proven helpful in
cleaning out some small lakes in the
East. Seems that it costs much
less than any other method de
veloped to date. All we forgot to
do was find out the name of the
stuff.
I suppose that as long as we
live there will be talk of cleaning
out the Upper Lake. Getting rid of

ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL
by KEN McLEOD
A few days ago this column be
moaned the troubles of a column
ist In the matter of lost lines and
such, but chiefly I wished to point
out how easily one can be misled
in the pursuit of history, as well
as how cautiously one must pick
up statements which easily can
turn out to be booby traps. I was
perfectly content to let Mountain
Joe and Joaquin Miller run their
roadhouse at Soda Springs. In a
country abounding in soda springs
this location could have been any
one of a number of places. The
California Guide however, placed
them at Lower Soda Springs across
the river from Castle Crags but
Joaquin very definitely makes it
clear in nis story that this was not
the place, his Boda Springs were
further up the canyon.
" The writer to the California
Guide considered Miller such a liar
that in the writer's opinion, Joa
quin, didn't know where he was,
and the Guide's writer made the
statement that Joaquin was not
even In the country at the time of
the battle of the Castle Crags but
was in school in Oregon. This col
umn makes no pretense at being
an "authority" in the field of his
torical research, but even so, I
Would never dare climb out on
that kind of a limb unless absolute
ly positive of my facts. It is far
better to let the question dangle
than get your neck out too far in
making flat statements concerning
history. So it was with a little
consternation that read the add
ed line a helping hand had inserted
in Joaquin's narrative to the effect
that Soda Bprlngs now "was the
home of a religious sect." The
helpful person could have been
much more explicit and have
(aid "Shasta Springs."
I had considered Shasta Springs
first, then rejected them in favor
of an indefinite locality because
Bhasta Springs is no place to have
a farm. However, since the help
ing hand plunged me Into these
waters, had to fess up and though
unhappy about the ailalr, say that

But in the meantime left not
ever forget that even with the
algae in the lake it's a fine place
for sport, for fishing, -tor boating
and for just plain looking and good
living.
Speaking of fishing, Bill Harless,
an ex-OTI student, dropped In
yesterday to thoot the breeze and
pass along the Information that
the bass fishing over on the coast
is really out of this world.
Bill, who attended the sports re
pair class when Johnny Hobson
was still Instructing in that depart
ment, now owns his own spot,
Harless Sport Shop, in downtown
Empire, which is right next to
Coos Bay.
Bill tells us that 15-pounders are
not at all unusual, are the aver.
age, in fact, and that 40-poundcrs
and better are being hauled in
quite often.
If you get in the mood ror tne
little fishing drop In on Bill and
he'll tell you all the best spots
and sell you the tackle to haul the
big ones In.
Harless also reports that another
OTI grad is doing veil over there.

own Jewelry store and is doing
okay with it. He'll be remembered
as a hoop star when he was here

soda Springs' In 1835. Rather.

two brothers, twins, for about . a
hundred dollars. The two men had
a cabin near the soda spring and
a corral for the mules of the way

Mr, McCloud built a two story
house of shakes and logs In order
to care for the only route up the
Sacramento River to the "north
ern mines.' The alternative route
was from old Shasta over the Trin
ity Mountains,
"In 1884 a better building, made
of planed lumber, was erected and
still operated as an inn. Then In
1874 a large two story hotel with
verandas, was added to the place
by his partners to whom he had
sold his interest.
"By then the place was more or
less a summer resort and was
sometimes called 'Upper Soda
Springs' to distinguish It from
'Lower Soda Springs.' It became a
very popular summer resort and
was tne only one in the vicinity
until alter llie railroad came here
in 1866. The Shasta Springs resort
didn't enter the scene until a few
years after the railroad appreare.
"The mineral spring at what was
later called Shasta Springs, is
down near the Sacramento River
and not where the old Tranner'
Trail went through. It was prob
ably only known by early day In
dians. The following are excerns from
Wells History of Siskiyou County:
" "The old Hudson Bay Com
pany's Trapper- Trail crossed thu
Sacramento River three times.
The last being at Soda Springs
which passed through Berry Valley,
aown snasta veiley, across the
Klamath about one-half mile abova
Bella Ferry and then over the Sis

"My husband's mother, who
spent her llie at Upper Soda,
showed us the spot where the Sac

years the wheel tracks ot wagons
were visible down in the meadow

JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON 11 Sen. Mc
Carthy's treatment of a general
did more than get the Wisconsin
Republican Into a row with Robert
T, Stevens, secretary of the Army.
It helped revive an old question:
Should Congress lay down man
datory rules for Its committees
which now make their own as they
sec fit guaranteeing . witnesses
who appear before them fair play
and mora rights than they have
now?
Congress has batted that one
around, in one shape or another,
for more than 100 years while do
ing practically nothing about it.
If the past is any criterion, It
won't do much now.
Various committees, including
McCarthy's, have rules for pro
cedure and reasonable treatment
of witness. Whether they're lived
up to depends in each case on
the committee members who made
them.
Last year and early this year
members of both houses suggested
Congress as a whole tighten up en
its committees.
Then, after the McCarthy-ste-vens
feud erupted a week ago:
Sen, Morse (Ind-Ore) and Sen.
Lehman (D-Llb-NYi offered a de
tailed set of rules they call a
"code of fair committee proced
ure." In many ways they'd give
a witness the basic rights he gets
In court but doesn't have before
a committee.
Then the Republican family dis
pute between McCarthy and the
Eisenhower administration - got so
much public attention it worried
the Senate's Republican Policy
Committee.
This group, which sets Republic
an Senate strategy, unanimously
decided It was time to look into
the possibility of changing the
rules for investigating committees.
President Eisenhower was report
ed anxious to see a tightening up.
Rep. Javits (R-NY) proposed a
single committee of House and
Senate members to do all Con
gress" Communist hunting.
Such a Joint arrangement would
mean abolishing the House Un
American Activities Committee,
headed by Rep. Velde IR-Ill). the
Senate's internal security subcom
mittee, headed by Sen. Jenner (R.
Ind) and taking such responsibility
from McCarthy'a subcommittee.
The arguments on both sides
mignt be boned down this way: J

THE DOCTOR SAYS
By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M. D.
Two men have recently fnaulred
about what is probably the same
disorder, though their questions are
uuiereni. one asks what may be
the cause and treatment of a con
dition in which the patient has to
gei up several times at night to
urinate. He adds the slgniilcant
statement that he Is over 70 years
old. The other says: "What treat
ments other than operation can be
suggested for prostate enlarge-
llirni t
In comment on the first question,
a good guess Is that the trouble
with frequent urination Is the re
sult of prostate enlargement sUice
this Is a typical symptom, and the
age of the Inquirer certainly sug
gests that he may have some dll
flculty like this.
The prostate Is a sex gland lving
at the outlet of the bladder. When
It enlarges too much, as It often
doos In older men, It presses on a
portion ot the kmc? urinary appar
atus and can cause difficulty. In
deed, the most frequent symptom
oi such enlargement Is the neces
sity for frequent urination; its ef
fect In disturbing sleep can be most
annoying. Another common early
symptom of prostate enlargement
Is delay or difficulty In beginning
urination. Such symptoms as these
start gradually but tend to get
worse.
As time goes on, the bladder Is
never completely emptied and Its
wall or lining becomes thickened.
The desire to urinate comes more
that much Of the went pain In
their business Is due to what thev
call "more technical ImDrovemm't
in wallpaper In the last two years
thin In the previous 30 years."
Paint manufacturers aren't too
frightened, however. They can
point to a rise In annual sales of
Interior-wall Dalnt from inn mim
dollars before the war to 400 mil
lion or more now, or eight times
the volume of paper.

committee, sometimes in a hurry,
can't be bound down by the pro
cedures of a court. Besides, a wit
ness before a committee is not
on trial. Sen. Mundt (R-SD), for
example, said over the weekend
court rules for an investigating
committee would hamstring it.
2.. But a witness before an in
vestigating committee is so much
at the members' mercy that he
can be just as thoroughly ruined
as if tried and convicted in court,
but without full court protection.
Therefore, he needs such protec
tion. The changes proposed In the
past week vary widely and over
lap in some cases.
McCarthy, because other mem
bers of his committee did not show
up, has been able to conduct one
man investigations. Eisenhower
was said to want other members,
particularly Republicans, present
in the future. McCarthy has said
it isn't his fault If other members
don't show up.
The President reportedly wants
a witness to have the right to
counsel in fact as well as theory.
In the disputed Army case, Mc
Carthy ordered the Army's legal
counsel out of the room.
Javits, Morse and Lehman urge
that a witness, hit by adverse
testimony, should have the right
to cross-examine the accusing wit
ness, a right he doesn't have now
but would have in a court trial.
Javits would let a witness, whose
reputation Is at stake, decide
whether his hearing would be tele
vised. Further, under his plan, no
committee member could release
Information . from the files with
out approval by a majority "of the
committee.
McCarthy has often questioned
witnesses behind closed doors nnd
then given newsmen such Informa
tion as he chose. Morse and Leh
man would prevent that by re
quiring a majority vote of the com
mittee before such Information
could be released.
Now a witness can be forced to
answer questions only, without a
chance to put a full statement of
his case In the record. Javits would
see that he could do this as a
right.
A defendant in a court trial has
a right to counsel, and his lawyer
can cross-examine witnesses and
can call his own, At a committee
hearing a witness is entitled to a
lawyer only. Morse and Lehman
would give him other rights.
and more frequently.
The amount of pain, Irritation,
and local discomiort caused by en
largement of the prostate varies
from person to person. There Is
also some danger of the develop
ment of kidney trouble because of
the back pressure from the urine
held In the bladder.
Sometimes, and often without ap
parent warning, a man with an en
larged prostate may suddenly Ibid
that he Is not able to urinate at
all. Under such circumstances the
bladder must be drained through
a tube, called a catheter, which Is
passed Into the bladder (or by
some other method!. The svmp.
toms of acute inability to urinate
can be relieved in this way, but
only temporarily.
The complications of an enlarge
ment ot the prostate gland can be
serious. Those who have symptoms
should not neglect them until the
kidneys or bladder have been ser
iously harmed.
Perhaps some time, a method
will be discovered of preventing
prostate enlargement or of treating
It with hormones or drugs. Al
though studies along these lines
have been made, at present sur
gery Is usually the preferred meth
od of treatment. Several different
and good methods of operating on
the. prostate gland, aimed at re
moving some of the excess tissue
and relieving the symptoms arc
available. These are done frequent
ly and successfully and should not
be dreaded.

WASHINGTON 11 Eat, drhik
and be merry Tuesday. It's Shrove
Tuesday, and Lent lasts a long
time.
Shrove Tuesday? It's little
noticed In most parts of these
United Slates, though there's Mar
di Oras In New Orleans and the
golden brown potato doughuuts, or
lastnachts, sugar the teeth and
gladden the spirit in Reading, Pa.
And, after all, aren't the rest of
us a pretty long-faced lot to be
passing up a celebration which
heartier folk have been enjoylnj
since the middle ages?
Shrove Tuesday, the day before
Ash Wednesday, has long been a
time to store up warm mem
oriesto say notning of calorics
for the Lenten days to come.
in miKlona. where It used to bo
called "Pancake Tuesday," it was
a uay oi general merry making
the Kentucky Derby day, so to
speak, of cock, fighting among oth
er pasttlmes. Church bells sum
moned one and all not to worship
nut i, wining ana aining, anu
there was even a song about it:
"But hark, I hear the pancake
bell
"And fritters make a gallant
smell;
'The cooks are baking, irying,
boiling,
"Stewlinj, mincing, cutting,
broiling, .
"Carving, gormandizing, roast
ing, "Caroonnding, cracking, slash
ing, toasting."
I don't know who made up that
happy catalogue of cookuig noises,
but he could name his own salary
as a writer of television commer
cials today.
France still makes much of
Shrove Tuesday, and In fact In
vented the name "Mardi Gras"
or "Fat Tuesday" for the high
jinks.
Why "Fat Tuesday"? Because,
unless the dictionary in tront of
me is wrong, it was and still is
in some pans of Northern France
the custom to parade a fat ov
ceremoniously through the streets.
It also was the custom to use
up on Shrove Tuesday the fats
wmcn coumn t oe eaten during
Lent, and that mov be whv thev
called it "Fat Tuesday," b u l
you're not going to get me into
any argument with a dictionary.
In the south of France, of course,
all sorts of revelry burst out at
this time of year which does not
distress the tourist industry in the
ir.&i,. m nice, on uic Klvicra, a
huge king carnival is toted through
Uic ilower-decked streets, and

In Finland some people believe
there'll be no Hax next summer
If a woman spins on Shrove Tues

Telling The Editor
APOLOGY
Last Tuesday, February 33, you
extended me the courtesy of pub
lishing my letter on a controver
sial subject. .
Evidence brought to my attention
since has made me realize that
much of what I wrote, particularly
that in defense of our past city
officials, was prompted by senti
ment rather than fact.
I 'Wish at this time to formally
apologize to Mr. Llnman for using
his name and making state
ments which might have been con
strued as insinuations against his
character.
If you will be indulgent enough
to publish this, It, is my sincere
hope that the same persons who
may have read my previous letter
will also read this.
Thank you

Savings Bonds
Sales Increase
Purchases of the treasury's pop
ular Series E and H savings bonds
during January throughout the
state, amounting to $3,603,115, were
36 per cent over January of last

Nationally, sales of Series E and
H bonds totaled $487 million 670
thousand, up 10 per cent over the
corresponding period of last year.
Klamath County sales for January
were $56,652.00, according to M.
E. Shannon, county chairman.
A total. of $785 million In Scries

. In commenting upon the high
sales figures lor the month. Shan
non pointed out that January Is al
ways one of the best months of
the year for savings bonds because
large investors take advantage of
the opportunity to make limit pur
chases In the first month of each

The friendly d.u, rt.rt where
9th I Main
tatlve Sam Coon of Oregon's sec
ond congressional district, in which
the Klamath Indian reservation is
located, that the standard of living
of the Klamath tribe is high and
that their standards of education
are well above the average.
In his statement to the commit
tees, he said:
"For a number of years the
Klamath Tribe has been consid
ered one of the most advanced In
dian groups in the United States,
nnd much consideration has been
given to the possibility of ending
federal control over them. Letters
I have been receiving from the In
dians have expressed the belief
that most of them are ready to
run their own affairs, without fur
ther special government asslstence.
"I am told that the standard of
living of these Indians is high. I
understand that all of them can
speak English, and nearly all can
read and write. Ten children of
the tribe are now in college, and
marly of tlie adults are well-educated.
"According to information I have
received, of the 627 families of tri
bal membership, nearly all are
self-supporting. One hundred indi
viduals have incomes in excess of
$5,000 annually, and some of them
considerably more. One hundred
families reside off the agency, and '
the only service given to them by
the government is to forward their
income from tribal lands.
"The Klamaths as a tribe have
considerable wealth. I believe both '
tribal and allotted lands comprise
more than a million acres, most of
It In timber and rangelands. The
Umberlands are the most valuable
tribal asset, with a value estimated
at $77 million or more, and an an
nual income of around $2 million
a year. Providing for proper man
agement and safeguarding of this
wealth during a transition period
is a major factor to be considered
in passing termination legislation.
"These Indians themselves have
been urging for a long time that
they be freed from control ana
given the privilege- of- managing
their own affairs. As you well
know. President Elsenhower has
promised to sec that these people
arc freed from government control
as rapidly as they are ready foe
It. I want to add my full support
to the President's program.
"Hearings were held on this mat
ter last year, and then the dele
gates took the proposed legislation
home for discussion by tne tribe.
I am glad to see that further
hearings are being held now. It Is
of great Importance that all opin
ions be heard, and that we be sure
we know and understand the feel-
hitrs of a majority of the members
of the tribe before we act.
"The Job of liquidating a tribe is
a difficult one. I know that both
the Indians and their neighbors
In the Klamath Basin are interest
ed In seeing that this work be done
carefully and well. If we proceed
with care, we can show. the way
for other tribes of Indians to take
their places with full equality In
society. But if we do not act wise
ly, we could do damage that might
never be undone.
These hearlncs today represent
a step toward bringing the freedom
and dignity iof full citizenship to
a group of people who have been
rapidly becoming ready for these
things. I am proud to be able to
help in tills Important work. The
members of the Klamath Tribe can
be proud that they have earned the
rlcht to the consideration we are
giving them today."
