CLARK Frofeaaor Kmerllua of-History I'nlverally ef Oregon Today's Question: What were the principal Indian wara during the territorial period? The principal Indian wara within the borders of Uie peaent Stale nf Oregon during thla period were those with varloua Indian trlbea In the Rogue River region. Oovernor Lane'a peace treaty In 1860 with these Indiana haa been mentioned in a prevloua article. Neverlhe leaa, were were Irequent minor dlatrubancea during Uie next lew yeara. Early In Augu.nl, 1853. In dian trouble In the Rogue River valley became serious. It waa a concerted ellort on the part of Uie Indiana lo rid the tipper valley of white people. Murders were per petrated and houses burned all through the region. The uprising led lo a military engagement with the Indiana, lought largely by vol unteers, and the Indiana were de cisively deleated late In August. Early. In September a treaty wan made with the Indiana at Table Rock by Joseph Lane, and peace waa temporarily restored to the region. The most Important Rogue River Indian war occurred In 1855-6(1. Thla lime the war waa brought by volunteer lorcea assisted by regular army troops. At (lint the victories in the upper valley were moally on the aldo of the Indiana, who possessed nupcrlnr llrearmn. In February Ben Wright, Indian agent at Gold Beach at Ihe inoulh of ths Rogue River, waa treach erously murdered by a renegado eaatern Indian by Uie name of Enos, who had once been a guldo for John C, Fremont. Twenty-five other settlers at Oold Bench were also massacred by Eno.n and hla followers. Finally In April the coastal Indiana wore subdued by a force of regulars and volunteers, In the upper Rogue valley the war came to an end alter the Indians wore defeated In a battle that laaled through moat of May 37 and 38, 1800. The Rogue River Indian War nf 1855-66 waa closely connected with Ihe Yakima IihIikii war In Eastern Washington and an Indian uprising on Ptiget Sound.

Each competitor apreada Its warea lor Uie cualomer It hopes to al tact with attractive colors, aromat 10 odors, and, aweer syrups. If you have read what John Mulr had to aay about Ihe vast flower plains he knew in the early daya of Cali fornia, you may have been slightly dismayed at Uie host of family and generlo namea he ao easily enum erated, were are many more, for there are literally thousands of plants in Nature's gardens, and Uie only namea they have may only be those given to them by science. , "Of all (he upper flower fields of the Sierra," writes Mulr, "Shas ta la the most honeyfull, and may yet aurpasa In fame the celebrated honey hills of Hybla and Hearty Hymetlua." Hybla was one of the ancient cities ol the Old World famous for Its production of honey. Its location was In Blclly though lis exact site la uncertain. The name, however, apparently was applied to several dlllerent Sicilian communities. II y m e 1 1 u a, waa another famous producer of honey in Uie ancient days of Oreece. a mountain In Attica, bounding Uie Atnenlan plain on the southeast, Its height, 3370 feet. 11 was famous lor Its honey of a peculiar flavor which. Uie bees obtained from Its aromatic herbs, II fame persists even Into our modern days. Speaking ol Shasta. John atates: "Regarding this noble mountain from a bee point of view, encircled by Its mauy climates, and sweep ing aloll Irom Uie torrid plain Into Ihe frosty ature, we tlnd Uie first (000 feet from the summit gener ally clad In snow and therefore about as honeyless.as Uie sea. The base of thla arctic region Is girdled by a belt ot crumbling lava meas uring about 1000 feet In vertical breadth., and Is mostly free from snow In summer. Beautiful lichens enliven the faces of Uie cliffs with their bright colors, and In some of Ihe warmer nooks there are a few lulls of alpine daisies, wall-flowers and penlatemons: but, not withstanding these bloom freely in the late summer, Uie tone as a whole Is almost as honeyless as the Icy summit, and Ha lower edge may be taken as Uie honey line. Immediately below this comes Uie forest lone, covered with a rich growth ol conller.n, chiefly Silver Firs, rich in pollen and honey-dew, and diversified with countless gar den openings, many of them less Uian a hundred yards across. Next, In o r d e r I y succession, comes Uie great bee tone. Its area fur surpasses that of the icy sum mit and both Uie oUier ronea com bines, for It goes sweeping majes tically around the entire mountain, with a breadth of six or seven miles and a circumference of near ly a hundred miles. "Shasta, as wo have already seen, Is a flre-mountnln created by a succession of eruptions of ashes and molten lava, which, flowing over Uie lips of Its several craters, grew outward and upward like the trunk of a knotty exogenous tree. Then followed a strange contrast. The glacial winter came on, load ing the cool Inn mountain with ice, wnich flowed .slowly outward In every direction, radiating from Uie summit In the form of one vast conical glacier a down-crawling mantle of Ice upon a fountnln of smoldering fire, crushing and r i Hiding lor centuries Its brown, flinty lnvnn with Incessant activity, and thus degrading and remodeling Ihe entire mountain. "When, at length, the glacial period began to draw near Its close, the Ice-mantle was gradu ally melted off around the bottom, and, In receding and breaking Into Its present fragmentary condition, li'icgiilnr rings and heaps of inor- nine matter was stored upon its flanks, Tho glacial erosion of most of tho Shasta lavas produces de tritus composed of rough, sub-angular boulders of moderate site and of porous gravel and sand, which yields freely to , the transporting power nf running water. Magnifi cent floods from the ample foun tains of Ice and snow working -with Time sublime energy upon this prepared glacial detritus, sorted out and carried down Immense quantities from the higher slopes, and re formed It in smooth, delta-like beds around the bane: and It is these flood-beds Joined together that now form the main honey-zone of the old volcano. Spud Disease Treating Told TULELAKE Chemical treat ment of seed potato tubers la fre quently, recommended for control of common acab, rhlzoctonla and varloua iroma of seed piece de cay. However, Its value is some times questioned, reports Ken Baghott, Tulelake farm adviser. Undoubtedly, effective fungicides will control the organisms which are present on Uie aurlace of the tubers, but acab and rhlzoctonla organisms are often present In the soil and cause Infection In spite ol disinfected seed. A dry type ol seed piece de cay, due to fusarium often re duces stands and causes weekened plants. Seed treatment may re duce this type of injury but It Is well to remember Uiat most of these organisms live In Uie soli. Several new orunnlc--materials which show considerable promise for seed treatment purposes. The majority ol Uicse materials are being tested at the Tulelake Field Sis Hon. Of particular Interest to Tule lake basin potato growera are the results of treating seed with cor rosive sublimate for Uie control of nematode on Uie pieces. Last fall nematode Infected seed was treated l'i and 3 hours with cor rosive sublimate. The potatoes were then shipped to Dr. Merlin Allen, ncmatologlst at the Univer sity of California. Allen ground up Uie potatoes with sterile soli and planted tomato plsnts Into the soli. The tomato plants, from eoch treatment showed a very high In cidence of nematode Infection. The .treatment of potato seed pieces cannot control nematode and as a result only nematode free seed should be planted, according to Bagnott. Rainfall Said Good In '54 TULELAKE Weather condi tions in March and April have been very favorable for California field crops, according to Farm Advis er Ken Baghott. Temperatures averaged normal, and rainfall during the month has' been well distributed over most ot the state. though rainfall is slightly below normal. The April l forecast for Cali fornia wheat was 327,000 tons, which Is somewhat less than the :I38.580 tons produced last year The 10 year average la 335,340 tons. California, barley production In 1964 Is forecast at 1.613.633 tons, the. largest record for the atote. This compares with the previous high of 1,440.340 tons produced in 1950. Last year 1,270,513 tons were produced. The Indicated 1S54- yield on bar ley Is 30 per cent larger than Ihe harvested yield In 1953. The large increase in barley this year Is due to the growers substituting this crop due to the cotton and wheat allotments. Lee Hendricks Je layl . . .

All clover aeed producers will need domestic bees whether they Plan on producing red or alslke clover, he reports. Several yeara oi testing ny tne university or uamorma and the Tulelake farm adviser's olflce has proven con clusively that domestic beea are needed In Tulelake lor pollination of clover. Baghott says that In the early days of the basin undoubtedly a sulliclent supply ol wild bees were living throughout the Tulelake Ba sin, as a result the clovers were readily pollinated. Thla la no long er true lor very lew wild bees now live In the basin: they have been kUed by cultivation of fields and by Insect sprays. The farm adviser suggests using at least one strong colony of bees lor each acre ol alslke or red clover. The seed grower who tries to get by with fewer colonies may sacrifice a considerable amount, of seed at harvest tlme.l Clover growera should also be aware of the dangers of Indiscrimi nate dusting and spraying of In secticides which will tend to kill domestlo and wild bees. Spraying or dusting should be done only early In Uie morning or late in the evening, when Uie bees are not In the clover fields. The local- agri culture commssloners have reg ulations which prevent spraying or dusting except within desig nated houra of the day. Anyone Interested should contact the local agricultural commissioner. NAACP Speaker To Be Heard Franklin Williams.

By AL JACOB80N Sounded off the other day about some of Uie things, good and bad, Uiat I saw and went through when I first came to Klamath. Well, I'm at It again I have to eat too. The more t look around Klam ath's downtown business district Ihe more surprised I am at Its extenslvenesa. It's big, really big considering the city's population, Looked up the population before I came to town ao waa expecting to aee what you usually see In a town of some 16,000. Curious, I dropped Into the office of the Klamath County Chamber of Com merce . . , and did I get an ear full I Met their manager, Frank Tuck er. He'a sure a nice guy real Irlendly and nelplul In case, you haven't met him. Of course, he'a a little like most C of C people, always bragging about what a wonderful, oul-of-thls-world place their town is. He'a sharp tho' , , , a smart cookie. Sat me down and brought out all the facts and figures to back up everything he said. Gave me a lot ot Informa tion on Klamath and Uie country . . . on the downtown business district and on all Uie other dis trictsenough dope to fill a wjiole VIMUIUC, Found out the actual population of Klamath is more like 30,000 as Uie close-in areaa are almost like part of Uie town. Thought, at first he was going Los Angeles on me. You know how it spreads out for practically hundreds of miles and how they annex everything in sight. Such was not Uie case bow ever, because he pulled out a map and showed - me these districts which have so much in common with Klamath proper. According to all this stuff Frank dug up, the downtown business district Is larger than you'd ex pect because for one thing there's a lot you can't buy within a hun dred miles as there's no other really big town In Klamath Coun ty. He went on to explain that Uie county covers 6.000 square miles more than you would find in a couple whole states put together that I could mention. Anyway, Klamath has a big re tail trading area, "Retail trading Sacred Heart Reports On KF History Editor's note The Civics Club at Sacred Heart Academy has completed the seventh in a series of studies entitled. "Know Your Community." Their most recent project was a study of the "firsts" in Klamath Falls. Results ot the study, written by Patricia Dru llner, follow.) Br PATRICIA DRLLINER Klamath Is a comparatively young community, having been formed v from a portion of Lake Obunty In the year 1882. Its devel opment has been rapid and its In dustries varied. As we study its history many questions arise, such wno were the iirst white men to come here? Who started the first business establishments? What events made Klamath grow both socially and economically? We shall attempt to answer some oi these. Firsts in the county began with Flnan McDonald of the Hudson's Bay Company. He was the first known white man to visit what Is now Klamath County between 1825 26. Over the first roads, the South Emigrant Road and the northern Rancheree Trail, 1863. came the pioneers to Klamath County, led by the first settlers, among whom was Wendolen Nus in 1866 al though Wallace Baldwin had pas tured stock here In 1852. The year 1867 brought Uie first home steaders, O. A, Stearns and Lew- ellyn Colver. The first white child born in this region on December 25, 1868, waa Ernest Union Lee. To Include the fairer sex let's take a look at the first women visitors to Klam ath County. These seem to have been Mrs. O, T. Brown and Annie Oaines. for whom Annie Creek was named. Mrs. Brown was also the first white woman resident liv ing at Fort Klamath. On March 14, 1873, Emma Evalyn WUson was born, the first white girl In Langell Valley. In the city proper the first busi ness house was the George Nurse Store and Hotel. On May 10, 1884, luamain received its nrsi news paper, "The Llnkvllle Weekly Star," edited by Bowdoln and Cur tis. The year 1884 also witnessed the first church In Llnkvllle, the Presbyterian Church, organized by the Rev. Robert McLean. In 1885 C. C. Low started the first restau rant In Llnkvllle. - 'Apparently social life waa not wanting for wo find the first women's club was organized as THE KLAMATH BASIN ROUNDUP ASSOCIATION is requesting bids for grounds concessions.

QiiMn's Tryouts JUNE 13 t th Red Grauads area" I found out la Ihe area folks come to town from to buy all the things they want. Well, thla trading area extends over a hundred miles to the north, east and south. I imagine it would probably reach out just as far to the west If the Cascades weren't In Uie way. All together, better than 10.000 citizens In Southern Orebgon and Northern Calllornla come to Klam ath to buy. Naturally It takes a lot of stores to keep all these people happy. And, since this city is better situated than most, here s where most of the stores are. Na turally It wouldn't mean anything if these stores were empty. But since most of 'em have more stuff than you could ahake a stick at, everybody agrees Klamath's Uie place to spend you bard earned money. I wasn't going to say anything more about this but the boss came around and snooped over my shoul der. "Cripea Al," he says, "you left out a lot of things that are Im portant. First, you got to consider Uiat according to Standard Rate and Data Service, the buying power of this trading area annua ly amounts to 855,185,000. "Another thing." he adds, "the per capita buying Income is 11651.00 which Is $129.00 more than Uie state's average." All the time the boss was giving out with this dope about how much money everyone around here has, I was thinking about how much I didn't have and wondering if it was a good time to hit him up for a raise. He snapped me out ol this nice dream by snapping, "Don't torget to aay Uiat all the atores you ve been talking about need ad vertising In, Uie paper, too. so people will know all about every thing they have to sell." I knew of course, I'm half emart, that the paper he meant was the one you're reading right now. He goes on about how everyone worth while for miles and miles around reads the H and N, including Uie ads. and so you don't need to ad vertise any place else. I was going to leave this stuff out of the column, figuring everybody knew all these facts of life anyway. Then I just happened to remember what an easy way this Is to make a living so I did, exactly what you wouia nave aone. - Civic Club early as 1888. By 1893 Llnkvllle had already become the town of Klam ath Fans and elected its first may- , A. L. Leavitt. One can't help but wonder if the young people gathered at the first soda fountain in the Chitwood Drug Store In 1399. Hooray I Cement walks In May, 1911, ended the era of boardwalks and its legendary rattlesnakes. The Elks Temple held its first social function on January 16, 1916. This consisted of a coasting party on Third Street followed by refresh ments served inside. The Ingersoll-Stoesler murder case was the first trial held In the present courthouse. It took place on December 10. 1920, with Judge Campbell presiding. . -No doubt you are wondering why nothing has been said about lumber, one o the greatest factors In the high economic standing of the county. It had its humble be ginnings at the sawmill at Old Fort Klamath 1863-64. The Industry grew from then until establishment of of the first box factory in 1907 by the Lake Lumber Company. Two years later the same company or ganized the first large sawmill on Jpper Klamath Lake. We have been able to mention only a few of the prominent pio neers of early Klamath but we all know that without these courageous men and women Klamath County would not be looking forward as she is doing to such a bright and promising future. May the Klam ath of tomorrow always be a credit to the hopes and ideals of Its fore bearers.

This advlco was offered today by John P. Dllle. regional director for the Wage and Hour and Public Contracts Divisions of the U. 8, Department of Labor In the West ern States, with offices In San Francisco. 'The child labor provisions of the law make It Illegal to employ children under 18 yeara old In agriculture during the houra when school Is in session In the school district where the child Is living while working," he said. "The law applies to children hired either as individuals or as part of a family group,- either by the larmer di rect, or by a labor contractor. processors or others. "The law applies to all children. whether natlvea of this state or any other state or country, ex cept the farmers own children working on their parent's farm. The law sets no minimum age for the employment of children In agriculture before or after school , hours, on Saturdays or Sundays, or during school holidays or regu lar acnool vacation periods. "The larmer la Responsible for finding out the correct age of each young worker, and the farmer Is protected from unintentional vio lation of the child labor pro visions If he has on file an unex pired certificate of age accept able to the U.S. Department of Labor which shows th -vmmir worker to be at least 16 years old. "The farmer is also required to maintain certain records for every worker in his employ who Is under 18 years old. These records must include, the minor's name hi full, date ol birth, and the address of his permanent home and where be lives while working if not at his permanent home. Such records must be retained by the farmer for three years."
