A fascinating little book has come
across our desk via the food edi
tor, but In many ways maybe we'd
better just leave it alone. It Is the
Eskimo Cook Book, compiled by
tne students of uie SMsnmarel Say
tscnooi in tsnisnmarei, Alaska,
Up there they grow he-man
cooks. Take, for Instance, the reel'
pe sent In by Nellie Kigrook of
Cape Espenberg for Caribou and
gravy. Tbe first instruction Is to
cut the caribou Into small pieces.
By the time the average man
has gotten this done he will have
lost all Interest In adding onion,
salt, pepper and cooking In an open
pan for 25 minutes. Or for adding
me Hour ior ine gravy.
If you don't like that try Nellie
OKpowruk s recipe lor bear feet.
First you get four bear feet, no
mean feat In Itself. Add a teaspoon
or salt and cook well in a pot.
Eat with seal oil.
The book, which came to us
through the courtesy of Mrs. Dick
Richards, was published by the
Alaska Crippled Children's Assocle.

RETAIL MEMO:
Amerloans could have substan
tially Increased their spending for
goods and services in January and
February, and could have easily
: topped their expenditures In these
two months a year ago, at the same
ume increasing their rate of sav.
lugs.
Now records 'In retail sales and
a further reduction In Inventory
couia also nave been achieved.
This Is the opinion of A, H. John,
son, vice president of the J. Wal
ter Thompson Co., leading adver
tising agency, in an exclusive re
port prepared for Harvey Runner,
business news columnist of' the
New York Herald Tribune. ."
Johnson believes that In the final
analysis the only reason why a new
January-February peak was not at
i tained In retail sales nationally Is
because the retailers did not go
out after business strenuously
enough. .
The gap between disposable In
come (income after taxes) and con.
sumer expenditures for goods and
services was almost twice as large
In the Jon-Feb period this year as
It was year ago 830 billion
. against 817 billion at the annual
rate.
Johnson's estimate ot the 830 bil
lion gap" is a new figure and
will De surprising to retailers and
other business men who have been
concerned whether or not retail
bhics couia De maintained at close
to the 1053 levels.
Moreover, ho adds, there Is no
evidence available at this time
which would Indicate any change
In such a favorable trend In the
months Immediately ahead.
Tie business decline is about
over, contend the majority of a
group of business economists Inter
viewed by Uie Wall street Journal.
About 70 percent of these experts
think the downtrend is leveling off;
nearly 25 percent say they see no
sign of this yet; the other 5 percent
bcliove Uie economy already has
taken a turn for the better
More consumer dollars are go
ing for services and savings than
tot commodities this year com
lared with 1H53, which helps ex
plnln the slight dip in retail sales.
(Department store sales for tho
year through April lo was down 4
percent.)
Consumers are spending about
84 5 billion less with retailers this
year and about 84 billion more for
sorviccs, snys A. O. Dlctz, presi
dent of err Financial Corp., in the
NY Herald Tribune.
Falls household stands 184 percent
above the national average in re
tail sales. That's compared to
national average of 83677, while
ours stands at 810,431. The people
also tell us mat tne city's mer
chants have an average annual In
come of 65,286,000.
The average net Income for
Klamath Falls household Is now
86228. When you get around to di
viding this figure Into the house
hold average you get an idea of I
how much of our current business
Is conducted with people outside
the city limits, a city listed
having 19,300 population.
Just about half of our per capita
(household) spending figure comes
from towns outside Klamath Fulls.
The rest of the Basin. That is en
Important fact to remember.
We find further that In Klamath
Falls we nave 6230 consumer units,
that being any family or Individual
not living with relatives. Of these
units 1410 have incomes exceeding
86000, 1780 are between 84000 nd
85099, 1930 have net incomes be
tween 82000 and 83999 while 1110
have net Incomes below $2000.
It looks like we are pretty well
on, actually.
Anri whii m'r mi th. nihim-f.

that the Oregon cattlemen's As-
sedation has lust Informed ua that

THE ROUNDS

TELLING THE EDITOR
INDIAN MATTER
These matters may assist you in
getting something prepared in tbe
way of a statement that I feel that
you should make after the Con
gressional Committee, that visited
the Klamath Reservation on the
19th, the purpose is to get direct
information from the enrolled
members, and other interested par-
ues, as to their reactions from the
level. In connection with the
imiJBeu rermiuaiiuH ui rcuerai
Supervision Bill.

by the chairmen of the respective
committees. And I still have not
completed my say, so, owing to
the non-release of the Investigator's
report surrounding his findings of
the election irregularities claimed
by Crawford. This was not done
until late p.m. of March 31, 1954
we were in conference with the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
and members of Ills staff at the
time. In following an oral report
that we had been recognized as
the official delegates. And at this
point the Commissioner asked us
to agree to allow pay for Craw
ford, and which I questioned on
the grounds that Crawford and wife
had been fairly defeated

wife had been elected was it then,
their plan, to have myself the de
feated candidate to come across?
Hie answer was yes. And that
since the Secretary, under law
had the authority to pay Craw
ford, then, he would be paid wheth
er we approved or not. But wheth
er this can be done without the
approval of the governing body of
the Klamath Tribe, is something
inai we naa not aug mto as yet.
'mere Is a letter being prepared
and addressed to the Chairman of
the Klamath General Council, set
ting the position of the depart
ments. In connection with our sug
gested amendments Indicating their
willingness to go along with our
suggestions for the extension of
ume, the continuation of trust per
iods, tax exemptions for a period
of five years or more.
The plan Is to provide for an
orderly withdrawal from Federal
Supervision, this is the position of
the committee that visited Klam
ath on the 19th. In other words
is committee does not favor lloul-
latlon, but on movements men
tioned above.
Crowford was not received With
open arms, as we think he had
expected, when he declared him
self for immediate liquidation, be
iore ne got through with his state
ment he said he r-as willing to do
something about a nendlng the pro
posed termination of Federal su
pervision Bin. Indicating that he
was not too sure that he really
wanted to hove the old 8.1222 re
introduced.

79th Congress. July 1945. S.1313.

dation of Tribal properties etc.
The same bill was re-Introduced
during the first session of the 80th
Congress, providing for the same
purposes, S.1222. and following the
hearings held by the Senate Com
mittee, on the reservation during
August, 1947, the bill was dropped
or set aside, and is the Bill that
Crawford attempted to have re
stored lor General Council action
during meeting of January 15, 1954.
The attempt was voted down, how
ever, this, was incorporated hi a
campaign ad by Crawford for his
election for delegate to Washing,
ton, upon had immediately lodges
claims of irregularity In election
proceedings. An investigator was
sent to Klamath as a result of the
claim and the report was not final
ly released until March 31, 1954,
and only to the extent as was pub
lished in the Klamath Falls paper
Issue of April 2, 1954.
And although I have requested
for a copy of the report thus far
have had no acknowledgement. The
loregoing matters are mentioned
since Crawiord seems to forget that
his backyard may not be any too
Clean. He advocates liquidation,
when not too long ago he stated
uie louowlng: On Februarv 25,
1935, hearings 74th Congress, House
BUDoommiltees, on H.R. T:81, first
session: page 297: Crawford: "I do
not believe that the majority of
the Indians at Klamath, are "cap
able of home rule in connecuon
with the tremendous wealth there
Those people have not been trained
to handle that property as it should
ne handled. They have not the con
cept of responsibility that attaches
to such a big undertaking." and
Quote: Page 304: Crawford: "I
think that they should have more
to say about their own affairs, but
in an estate as large as Klamath,
Involving 820,000,000. Turn that
over to them tomorrow and all the
land sharks and every other kind
of shark would go there and fleece
them of their property. The ma
jority of those Indians are not cap-
aoie oi noiaintt tneir own. Some of
them are competent and they
should be cut loose from tbe gov
ernment. These statements were
made during the time that he was
the Superintendent: and since his
dismissal from service he has not
been too active In carrying on any
Instructions to how cause him jus
tifiable reasons for reversing his
former views.
The Attorney for the House Com
mittee has advised that they were
not Interested In controversial Is
sues regarding claimed irregular
ities done during the delegate elec
tion proceedings, hence, would not
want to devote any time to such
matters, owing to the limited time
In which they have to get as much
lmormauon as possible surround
ing the Important matter of reach
ing some solution to meet the even
tual termination of Federal super
vision. On the contention that con
troversial issues surrounding elec

be sufficient for the purposes, un
less I should be permitted to say
further In conniction with the en
closed prepared statement and
which should be set out In more
detail. We feel that Crawford has
had ample time to cover his side
of the subject.
It seems to me that it would be
point and policy, lor some plan of
approach to be worked out so that
the various phases of the operat
ing, and potential resources of the
reservation could be testified to.
This would mean several members
preparing themseives to touch
some respective subject, and would
then be in a position to answer
questions on uie particular topic,
and should be by members repre
senting the cross section of the
reservation with each member be
ing allotted certain time of presen-
tauon. Hence, if this can be ar
ranged then both sides of the
question could be fairly well aired
out. That is, those for liquidation
could then present their reasonings.
and may result in a good picture
of the soundness of the thinking.
And the entire day should be given
over to the one subject.
Tbe General Council, could then,
tke another day for the considera
tion of other pending business. And
I hope that it will be arranged so
mat I can return and get the
pending legislative matters taken
care of.
I trust that the contents of this
letter of transmittal will do some
good and something helpful results,

LIQUIDATION
When I was in Washington D.C..
the question arose about the final
disposition of the Klamath tribal
grazing lands and tribal timber,
The Joint Committee on Interior
and Insular Affairs, and Represen
tative Sam Coon, were undecided
about what would be the best thing
to do.
This Is the question: What would
be to the best interest of the County
and the Indians If the reservation
is liquidated:
(a) Transter the property to the
National Forest, or
(b) The Bureau of Land Manage
ment, or
(c) The State of Oregon, or
(d) Private industry?
People have voiced different
opinions to me and to the members
of Congress. Therefore, I believe it
to de to the best Interest of all con
cerned to take a poll in your news
paper on tne subject. We would
then have the information for the
Joint Committee.
Very truly yours,
Wade Crawford

helped organize. Mahrt it being supported by a large group of Macdoel and Dorrii voters.
Dorris Voters Back Mahrt
Fenton Mahrt in law enforce
ment work for many years. Is be
ing supported for sheriff of Siskiyou
County by a group of Macdoel and
Dorris citizens, who are basing
their support on Mahrt's record In
past years as an officer.
They are seeking economy In of
fice as well as efficiency.
Mahrt will oppose Al Cotter, In
cumbent. The statement of supporters and
Mahrt's statement to the voters
follow.
We the residents and voters of
Dorris and Butte Valley are asking
the support and vote of all people
of Siskiyou County for Fenton R.
Mahrt. We feel that Siskiyou Coun
ty is fortunate indeed to have such
a man as Fenton Mahrt whose out
standing experience and ability
qualify him for sheriff.
We may now have efficiency In
office p'i we feel that we should
nae economy wun our emcien-
cy. We also feel the sheriff of this
county should show a friendly in
terest in all the people instead of
considering himself a symbol of
law and order.
Following is Fenton Mahit's
statement to you, the voters and
tax payers of this county. We ask
you to read It carefully and give
it thoughtful consideration:
I am married and have four
children. I received my first police
experience on the Klamath Falls
Police Department starting in 1939.
During that time I held positions of
Patrolman, Car ! Patrol and Desk
Sergeant. I resigned in 1943 to ac
cept the appointment as Assistant
Chief of Internal Security of the
Department of Interior. Six month;
later I' was promoted to Chief of
the Investigation Unit and this po
sition I held until 1945 when called
mo the U.S. Army.
After receiving an honorable dis
charge I returned to my former
position with the Federal Govern
ment. This Job was later abolished.
During my work with the Federal
Government I was under close su-
