With the summer season and
guided parties coming closer to
a reality we are reminded that
we have a noted authority In town
on the color of the West, give or
take a lew years.
None other than Rattlesnake
Pete. ,
Fete, a familiar figure along
the main streets of the town with
his flowing hair, goatee and heavy
six guns hanging from his belt,
dropped in the other day to dis
cuss the subject of outdoor vaca
tionists In the area. Seems that
Pete has In mind giving 'em a
good old shot of color along with
any incidental fishing and hunting
they may be interested in or ima
In our glorious country.
And not a bad idea.
Fete, who a few years ago
vowed he was gonna out-charac
ter any and all characters in the
Basin, could do as well as any
one else.
If you happen to be in the busi
ness and need a good color man
of the good old medicine show
variety look him up. He hasn't
been around for a few days, but
we'll get in touch with him for
you.
April 17th will mark the date
of the annual Warm Springs rodeo
and root feast at Warm Springs.
An affair which Is well worth the
attendance of those who have never
gone before.
Besides, you can usually work
in a little fishing on the wy.
Today, In case you wish to add
to your fund of useless knowledge,
is the day back In 1831 that Dom
Pedro I abdicated the Brazilian
throne in favor of his five year
olo son, Pedro II, whom he left
under the guardianship of Jose
Bonifacio.
It Is also the date In 1926, of the
first Pan American Congress of
Journalists. They held a six day
confab in Washington,. D.C.

ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL

HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK UPI What would come a casualty and set mankind
you miss most II civilization were
destroyed? ,
As I see it, the race 1 of man,
heading Into the 10th year of the
atomic era. Is like a small child
that awakens in a half-light, looks
in sleepy doubt out the window
and cries:
"Mommy, is ' the night coming
down or the sun coming up? I
can't tell."
None of us alive, from a baby
in its cradle to wise old Winston
Churchill, can say for sure wheth
er the world stands In twilight or
at the edge of a great dawn. No
body knows. Nobody.
The odds are strong that there
will be another war, simply be
cause the tribes of mankind have
fought more than 1,000 wars in
a brief time on earth. . .because
there Is a war going on rght now.
, . . becauso there never has been
a lasting universal peace.
As an incurable optimist, I do
not find the prospect of being hit
between the eyes by a hydrogen
bomb any more terrifying than the
possibility of being struck hv
lightning. The real tragedy behind
uie use oi atomic energy in war
would be, not the mass slaughter
ii couio. cause, nor the death of
cities, out thnt this same power,
wisely employed, might bring a
happier day lor millions, you
can't say that of a machlnegon.
Death is Its purpose.
Pessimists fear that an atomic
war would wipe out mankind.
That's not likely, unless some
scientist finds a way to set a
match to tills earth we dream and
scheme on and turn it into a minor
fireball in the sky. Men lived in
tart tossing hydrogen bombs
around like firecrackers, some
Men would still crawl out of caves
live when the explosions ceased.
The intricate civilization we live
In now, however, could well be-
back on its haunches a couple of
hundred years, giving us the prob
lem of making the long painful
crawl from darkness back to half
light again.
What would you miss most if
civilization were destroyed in your
own lifetime? What do you really
value In It? What would you yearn
for most again, if you were sud
denly forced - back into a half
savage condition, fighting fiercely
for food, warmth, shelter and
safety?
There are so many things. My
wife and I were talking this over
tne other night, and Frances said:

Vernon Bailey made a very ex-
pressive plea thai attention should
be turned toward bringing the
mountain sheep back to the lava
ranges of our country, lew writers
nave taken up the plea yet w
know that the time is not too late
for we still have areas where such
action is still possible. Mount Dome
and the Modoc Lava Bed Area is
such a natural region.
Under proper control of habitat,
'he mountain sheep can be made to
produce two important human val
ues; their value as an aesthetic ele
ment in the landscape of a great
recreational region cannot be de
nied, and, If numbers should In
crease beyond the limitation of their
range, then there would be a nec
essity for the removal of a portion
oi tne nerd. This would mean
return of the sporting value of the
sheep as a game animal.
Old Indians, early settlers, and
a few big-game hunters have pro
nounced the mutton of the moun
tain sheep as being far superior to
that of the domestic sheep, or, of
any other game animal of North
America. On good range, the ewes
often raise twins and Increase
their numbers about as rapidly as
domestic sheep. They will live and
thrive all the year around In de
serts where no other stock or game
can, and with proper protection and
care they would make profitable
many areas now devoid of such
wildlife forms.

Channel between dead regrets and

Why, what Is civilization but
the collection of all our dally ruts,
and the chance to plow fresh ones?
Anything that destroyed our civ-
!iization would destroy them, the
patterns we live by.
And that is what the average
man would miss most the daily

rebels against.

Mountain sheep would add to the
picturesqueness of any rocky
range, peas, cull or canyon wall,
or to .rough black lava Ilelds and
sagebrush basins between where
uiey wouia iind just the food and
shelter to their liking. As Bailey
states; "Who would not enjoy living
for a part of each year where a
magnificlent old bighorn could be
seen on a cwt above; or band of
ewes and young following a heavv
horned leader up a terraced wall,
bounding upward Irom ledge to
ieage to look back from the skyline
aoove?
It was Bailey's written tribute
no him who has the time, the
means, ana vision to add such
resource to our national wealth
and progress and pleasure the
world will owe a debt or undying
appreciation. '
The writings of those who were
closely acquainted with our moun
tain sheep in the early pioneer
days are very few. John Muir,
probably has left us one of the
best accounts from the observe
lions he was able to make during
nis explorations ol the lofty peaks
of our western country. Mulr, writ
ing in 1894 summarizes his many
experiences and pays a tribute to
.this hardy mountaineer.
The wild sheep," states Mulr,
'rank highest among the animal
mountaineers. Possessed of keen
sight and scent, and strong limbs,
he dwells secure amid the loftiest
summits, leaping unscathed from
crag to crag, up and down the
fronts of giddy precipices, crossing
loaming wrrenis and slopes of
frozen snotf, exposed to the wild-
brave, warm life, and developing
from generation to generation in
perfect strength and beauty." '
Muir points out mat nearly an
the lofty mountain-chains of the
globe are inhabited by wild sheep,
and in his day they were for the
most part imperfectly known and
that there was a considerable de
gree of controversy among natural
ists of the time as to the number
of species. Among the best known,
however, was the Argali, the large
wild sheep of central and north
eastern Asia. This species is of
Interest to us Muir writes:
'Compared with the Argali,
which, considering its size and vast
extent of its range, is probably the
most important of all the wild
sheep. Our species is about the
same size, but the horns are less
twisted and less divergent. The
more Important characteristics are,
however, essentially the same." In
Muir's day some of the best na
turalists maintained that the two
were only varied forms of one
species. In the sixty j'ears that
have passed since Muir has written
about mountan sheep the scien
tific world has settled the argument
as to their being separate species.
However, it is Interesting to note
the theory upon which the one
species argument was founded. Cu-
vier, the great French naturalist
conjectured that since central Asia
seems to be the region where sheep
first appeared in world history and
from which they have been dis
tributed, the Argali may have
reached North America from Asia
by crossing the, Bering Strait on
ice.
Muir was willing to accept this
theory of spread ot sheep from
Asia to America as he points out
that the Argali were abundant on
the mountains adjacent to the
Strait at East Cape, and, as he
states: "it is well known to the
native hunters and where I have
INDIAN CONTBOVEBSY
Now that immediate termination
of federal stewardship for the
Klamath Indians has been
"tabled" at this session of con
gress there are some Interesting
observations and suggestions to be
made before Senator Watkins
(Utah) again beats the freedom
drums at the next session. In so
far that all are agreed that Uie
ultimate long range goal is that
of complete freedom for the eleven
North American tribes we must
realize that many preparatory
steps must be taken by both the
Indian and the white man. Tne
most important lesson taught the
white man in this past session of
congress is that he must give the
Indians full opportunity to partici
pate in the drafting of legislation
pertaining to all rights and privi
leges guaranteed by treaties and
agreements. Future "freedom"
bills must originate as the com
posite work of both the Indian and
the white man, and must not be
arbitrarily designed for a sudden
complete liquidation at the end of
only two or three years.
A second lesson taught to all is
that there must be closer coopera
tion between the official Tribal
Council delegates and our con
gressman from this congressional
district. We must not repeat the
unfortunate situation of having an
unofficial spokesman monopolize
the time allotted the Kli.math In
dians in the presenting of their
case before the proper congres
sional committee. We must recog
nize the basic rights of the Tribal
Council delegates when they speak
as the official voice of the tribe.
The following resume briefly
sets out some of the objectives for
future proposed legislation:
1) Eventual withdrawal of super
vision is favored and the Indian
must be prepared for the legal
incorporation of his tribal prop
erties, the handling of his fi
nances, and the shifting of the
welfare services. The values of
the excellent Agency program of
sustained yield and land manage
ment must be preserved. The 'sud
den dividing up and plundering of
the timber will glut the Klamath
Basin market and break down the
program of sustained yield.
2) The cost of sales should not
have to be paid for by the Indians.
3) The general exodus from the
reservation to the cities will create
serious social, economic and wel
fare problems for the cities of
Oregon.
4 Cash settlements will enoour-
age incompetent Indians, and oth
ers who have already left their
land, to avail themselves of sud
den "wealth" which they will
subsequently squandor. A survey
of the policies of the Tribal Coun
cil Loan Board, and the fact that

rviiiw nme form of wel-
'fare services mokes this obvious
to all.
ft) The white people must be
ready to assimilate the Indians in
their cities. Unless prepared to do
so there will be increased ten
sions and new problems of dis
crimination will arise. .
6) When federal agency pro
grams are withdrawn new moxt
mum' programs for health serv
ices (the clinic), land manage-
ment, sustained yield, financial
loans, and welfare services must
be ready.
7t The entire welfare burden
will have to be assumed by the
State of Oregon and not the en
tire American public as Is now the
case. The people of Oregon will
have to bear tar more than their
just burden of the Indian problem
because of the large proportionate
Indian population in this state. Do
the people in Oregon and Klam
ath County want to assume tills
disproportlnate share? i '
8) Does the U. S. Govt, have
the legal right to "sever the
treaty" and deprive the Indian of
supervision and services until such
time as the Indians themselves
feel they are ready for such a
withdrawal? The Klamath In
dians must do a better Job - of
