Northwest History Highlights

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. There la
evidence that there was a plan' of

That practically all big ' trucks

That Uie total cost of the route

John Mulr called the colorful
duplay or wild flowers lo be seen
every year serosa our land" bee
pastures," and surely no better
simile could have been expressed
for every flower la a competitor
ol every other Mower lor Ihe at
tention of Uie honey loving InnccU.
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.

Pollination
Of Clover
Reported
TULELAKE Alslke and Red
seed clover producers should plan
now on how many colonies of
beea will be needed for pollination
purposes and contact their bee
keeper to be assured of an ample
supply of atrong bees, suggests
Ken Baghott, Tulelake farm advis
er. 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.

Published Population Of

Sounded off the other day about

brought out all the facts and

said. Gave me a lot ot Informa

Found out the actual population
of Klamath is more like 30,000 as
Uie close-in areaa are almost like

he was going Los Angeles on me.
You know how it spreads out for
practically hundreds of miles and
how they annex everything in

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

more than you would find in a

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. -

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. -

The Elks Temple held its first

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

to the hopes and ideals of Its fore
bearers. DOCTOR'S DRAFT
