The picture at the head of this column carries a word of good ad- vice. Although this slgri confus ing though it may seem, was meant for pedestrians, It probably wouldn't be a bad idea it a lot of motorists would par some attention to it. The Doctor Says ' BT EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. As summer in the Northern Hem isphere progresses the frequency of polio as well as the fear of that disease increases by leaps and bounds. ' r While it is not strictly correct to speak of the polio season. warm weather almost invariably brings an Increase in the number of cases of polio. The chances that a youngster will not be stricken by polio are murh better than that he will. Nev ertheless there are few if any dls . eases which cause as much Tear or near panic as polio, principally because of the severe effects which it so often produces and the mys terious way In which it appears to strike. One of the most Important steps in combating polio is to make the diagnosis as soon as possible so that treatment can be begun promptly. This is particularly dif ficult because the first symptoms often resemble those of an ordinary cold or mild infection. Paralysis is usually delayed for several days. No two patients who contract pol io show exactly the same symp toms, ine oesi results irom treat ment, therefore, require Judgment, skill and experience In order to choose those methods best suited to the particular victim. Not only is medical care impor tant, but good nursing, physical therapy and other treatments are necessary to get the best results. Many hospitals are now well quipped to handle patients with polio. Much of this has been made possible by National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis funds: Thanks to this, every victim of polio requiring hospitalization or other care need not lack it because of financial reasons. The muscular paralysis which comes on after the first few days of the disease is accompanied by painful muscle spasms. These can be greatly relieved by hot wet packs, properly applied, and by nursing care. The akin tenderness which is so common is also helped by such treatments. When the disease is acute every effort has to be made to keep the muscles in the best' possible con dition to that they will respond to the later treatments and training. Bed rest is, needless to say, im portant, as are plenty o fluids, which are used for any infectious disease.

A blast in favor of the salmon was being leveled around town this week when Roy Orem, now vice president of the US National Bank of Portland, was in town cry ing in a loud voice for fish ladders at the Copco dams, including the old one,) on the Klamath River. The history of that dam and the lack of fish ladders is a dark and blood splattered one which we won't go into now. But we en thusiastically back up Mr. Orem lp his contention that it Is only fair to the public to bring back the salmon run to the Klamath River. In the years to come the old Klamath is not only going to prove to be the second biggest power stream on the West Coast but it will afford untold hours of recre ation to the outdoor-minded. No one can sit and listen to the tales of early day fishermen with out getting a gleam in bis eye. Hooray for Orem. Up with the salmon. Let's get them there fish ladders built, boys. At last we've heard everything. BUI Lorenz, the big wheel of Chllo quin, has admitted that his fair city is taking second place for a change. In a recent letter to this writer he stated, and I quote, "The Chilo quln Capers are at it again and are going to give Klamath County the second best show of the show year on May 26th." What Bill is referring to is the Barbershop program slated for the new gym at Chlloquln on that night. The funds, all contributed by the barbershoppers, will go to ward a wading pool for the young sters up In Chlloquln. It you like harmony, then that's the place for you on the 28th.

Il ,,-r-X-' 1 ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD In yesterday's column we were following the story of O. A. Stearns telling of the rescue of Mrs. Broth erton and her story of the mas sacre of her people as far as she knew It, and, of course as far as Steams remembered It. Stearns concludes his narrative as follows: "We were at a loss to account for- there having been no rescue party from the soldier camp ten miles above on the supposition that the Indians were in force some where between the two places, but as it was imperatively necessary that the survivors of the massacre be taken to a place of safety, we decided to attempt to get them through to where the soldiers were camped. "Accordingly, two of our party dismounted and finding an old set of harness and the running gears of a wagon, we put on some boards and loading the clothing and a few provisions aboard, the women and children on the load, and with the horsemen advanced as a skirmish line, we started up the valley. 'When about five miles away and rounding a small butte, we saw away off to the north a party of horsemen who seemed to be heading In our direction. Not know ing whether they were Indians or whitemen, we sent Kllgore, who seemed to be better mounted, to reconnoiter, with Instructions to signal by waving his hat if they were whites, but in the event they were Indians to return as fast as his horse could carry him. "Anxiously we awaited, until we finally saw the welcome waving of his hat, when we hurried along the ruad and soon came In behind a wagon preceded by five or six horsemen, who had come from the Juniper hills to the north of the valley, intersecting our road near where we first saw them, from whence they turned up the valley and we overtook them Just as they reached the soldier camp. In the wagon were the bodies of Mr. Bod dy, bis eldest son, and his son-in-law, Mr. Shlrra, with arrows still sticking in them, and other mutila tions. Here we left our family and returned to Clear Lake reaching there after night." This ended the Stearns narrative of the rescue of Mrs. Brotherton and her children, it was published in the Klamath Republican, De cember 1, 1909 and at a time that Stearns was active In building up a Pioneer Association which bad been organised in 1809. 1 have been left with the impression that 8tearns wrote more than one ar ticle on the Modoc War as he promised to write another chapter "of return and description of the. fust battle as given by several participants, with views thereon." This would have appeared in some 1910 issue of the Republican, un fortunately, we do not have issues of this year to consult, however, It is our hope that these articles by Stearns have been preserved else where. This account by Stearns posses ses value to our historians since Stearns was there and while mem ory Is dimmed of events occurring 37 years previous we will have to give his version some careful con sideration when It is compared with other accounts of the same event written by others who were not present. Stearns has given us some new namea in this account of people not previously recorded, likewise, he may have misspelled or the paper could have been in er ror on the spelling of some names. This is one of the chief complaints our historians have against news paper accounts, yet, even the his torian's pass on such errors to con tuse the students who follow. Therefore it is never safe to Just lead one account and let the in cident pass as being actually com plete. In the Stearns narrative.

Odeneal's name was spelled "Odenlal." In the case of the "German sheep herder, named Seever or Soover" and Stearns ap parently preferred the "Seever" spelling since he used this several times, we find that Bancroft has the spelling "Shroeder." Bancroft, however. Is equally prone toward error. Thus we find Bancroft spel ling Nurse as "Nourse" and Tick nor, as "Llckner." and so on to the discouragement of historical accur acy. Bancroft. In his "Works" Volume XXXV. with the tlUe "California Inter Pocula" gives a version of the Brotherton alncldent; after re citing the events of the massacre of the men of the Boddy family on December 1, Bancroft goes on to state: , "It did not appear that the party of Indians committed any further murders that day. On thefollowlnR day they killed a number of per sons about the border of Tule Lake, and among others their good friend H. P. Miller, Just when and how there were no witnesses to relate. Living within seventy-five yards of Miller's house was a family named Brotherton, three men of which were killed. The remainder of the family would have shared the same fate but for the courage of Mrs. Brotherton, who defended her house and children until relief ar rived, three daya after the slaugh ter of her husband and sons." So in Bancroft we find error since the relief came, according to Stearns, the morning alter the massacre of the Brothertons of the day before and not "three days after." POET'S CORNER THE GREAT NORTH WEST By F. Elaworth Pellett . The great north west Is beckon-' tag you With trails and a p a r k 1 1 n g streams, Through virgin forests, by moun tain lakes Where western sunset gleams. The towering hills, the valleys wide. The snow capped mountain crest Affords you days of wanderlust And hours of grateful rest. Today go view the great north west Where nature you will find. And feel the v a s t n e s s of the place. As up the steeps you climb. The salt winds from the mighty sea Blow freshness Into you. And cares will drop like autumn leaves. And fade like morning dew. The great north west Is calling you. Tis natures own play ground. Its skies are blue, its fields are green. Its takes with fish abound. Its highways wind through hill and dale They span the canyons deep, They'll take you to the ocean side. Where tides and wavelets creep. To those who feel the lust of thrills Or an exciting trip. Or sally forth with rod and reel, The rippling streams to whip. Or wander through the forests vast Where silence is profound. The .great north west is beckon ing you "Tli nature's own play ground.

PPt AVIi Mm IT) iLiiLii -r, ii- 7" Hal Boyle NEW YORK I Do you have a simple, fool-proof retirement pinn? It not, I think I have one that may interest you. (Watt! Don't run away. This won't cost you anything.) Here is what Is wrong with most retirement plans: 1. A man retires and discovers hu pension Is really only pennut money. He then has the problem of convincing his wife that peanuts not only taste good but are even more nutritious than atenk. 2. Or a man skimps all his life, figuring he will save enough mon ev so that he can retire and dq an tne line careless tilings he dreamed of doing when young. Then he makes the aad discovery that the dreams of youth lose their glamor and become nightmares in old age. A man neorlng 60 put his situa tion to me this way the other day: "Retirement looks wonderful to a man In his 30 s or 40's, but as you actually get nearer to It you begin to seo it as a pitfall. "Take my case. They tell you to prepare for retirement by de veloping a hobby. Well, I ve tried conscientiously to build an interest In gardening. But ugh it simply isn't In me to be a wet nurse for a pansy bed. The only growing things I now have a respect tor are weeds and poison ivy. "For years I have been putting away dough so that my wile end X coult take a trip around the world when I retire. But lately I've been thinking what a nuisance it would be going through Euro pean museums gawking at pictures I dont like being explained to me by a guide who learned tils Eng lish by reading old copies of the National Geographic. . "Work has always been the real hobby of sensible men. The closer I get to retirement the less my dally routine looks like a rut, and the more It looks llko a friendly bomb shelter. I even hate to tear tht pages off my desk calendar anymore. It depresses me." This man. It seems to me, has made the mistake of many men who plan for retirement by post poning small present pleasures In order to achieve some greater and more expensive luxury In tho dis tant future. My modified play-as-you-go re tirement program simply calls for a reversal of these tactics. In stead of squirreling away dough so you can see Africa from a wheel chair at 66, you take a coach plane to Florida while you are still young enough to enjoy a awim and a sunburn. After all, you can always see Hons and tigers at the neareat zoo. The thing to do Is to achieve as large a fragment of your dreams as you can while you are young and active, before your dreams turn Into wistful regrets. Why not retire your dreams by living them up along the way? . But every sound retirement pro gram requires that you postpone something. My plan is very sound on this point. But instead of "post poning your pleasures, you g o ahead and do aa much of what you want to do as you can and you postpone doing until retire ment all the unpleasant things you feel you ought to do, or the things a well-meaning wife tells you that you ought tb do. I know I ought to get some oth er hobby besides cigar smoking. I realize I ought to learn to drive an automobile and, to please my wife, learn some dance steps new er than "The Turkey Trot." I realize also I will never leave an Imperishable name In literature until I finish the book I'm work ing on (so far I've only gotten as far as the title, which Is, "The Industrial Uses of the Monarch Butterfly in War and Peace"). But these things seem to me to be ideal retirement goals. And I know that at 60 they will still look Hear the Complete TONIGHT ON From 8 p.m. till Closing 1150 on Your Dial James Marlow WASHINGTON W-vn Thurs ton the magician would get eye strain trying to watch the rabbit to see what hat It was In in the Senate investigation of the Army McCarthy fight. The hearings, which started April 33, seemed all but dead last Monday alter they were shut down tor a week. They're aupposed to start up again uext Monday, That's no euro bet. The Inquiry began aa an at tempt to find out who waa lying Secretary of the Army Stevens and his aides or Sen. McCarthy (R-Wls) and his aides in their bushel bas ket of chargea and countercharges, But now McCarthy aaya that from hla viewpoint "the all-Important thing Is the motive who start ed this, who la responsible for the Army charges." After some confusion on who did start It, Stevens yesterday said he was responsible. He'll probably have to repeat that under oath. K and when he does, McCarthy may say he's still not convinced. If he Insists finding the motive takes precedence over finding the truth or falsity of the chargea. he may use It aa a reason for walk ing out without testifying. No one yet has explained how the 8cate subcommittee making the Investigation could force Mc Curlhy to testily or even attend the Inquiry If he didn't want to. He couldn't be arrested and brought in. McCarthy Is hi Washington on Senate business. And under the Constitution no senator can be ar rested while serving aa a senator except for treason, a felony or a breach of the peace. However, he has never said he wouldn't testily, and he has taken the stand once briefly already. Yet alter all this time only two of the main witnesses Stevens and Army Counselor John a. Adams have been called on for full testimony and neither of them has finished yet. ' Four main witnesses remain to be called: McCarthy; his subcom mittee's chief counsel, Roy M. Conn; his chief of staff, Francis P. Carr; and 11. Struve Hensel, assistant secretary of defense. Before they ever finish. If the hearing lasts that long, squads of other witnesses undreamed of now may be pulled Into the ea.se. Nevertheless, Sen. Mundl (R SDi, acting subcommittee chair man who said the hearings will be gin again Monday, predicted they'd wind up In about 10 daya after that. That may turn out to be as dreamy as the predictions made before the hearings started the first time: that they'd be over in 10 days or two weeks. This Investigation has taken strange twists and turns, Includ ing the many hours lost by the In vestigating senators In their search for a way to save time. The strang est came when President Elsen hower got Into the picture: He refused on the constitution al grounds that the Senate had no right to nose into private conver sations among hla advisers to let the Senate subcommittee question some of those advisers. Adams said he had talked with them about alleged Improper pres sures from McCarthy's office, and was advised to list them In writ ing. The chronology later grew Into the Army charges now before the senators. McCarthy cried, In effect: "Who really pulled the strings? Did Ste vens and Adams and Hensel make the chargea against me and my staff on their own or were they pushed Into It? Whom am I fight lnt here7" The other senators said that was a good question. They wanted to find out, too, and suspended the hearings last Monday to see If Elsenhower could be persuaded to let them question hla advisers. He (till said no yeaterday and Stevens Jumped In to say the Army alone waa responsible for the charges. It waa after hearing this that McCarthy, perhaps not con vinced, aald the motive behind the charges was the main point, , Telling The Editor ANTIOCH MEET The Anttoch Cemetery Associa tion will hold it'a annual meeting at the Antloch Cemetery, Jackson County, Oregon, Saturday, May 39, 19M.

BOHUORTII Hie 116 million annual construc tion budget for The California Ore gun l'ower Company planned for tho next flvo years cuinparea with a total estimated school budgot for the entire elate of Oregon of 116 million per year. To augment Copco'a generation and to permit the aals of aurplus power, there Is an Interchange of energy with the Bonneville Power Administration at three xmts and Copco continues to supply aome of their customors as has ueen done for tho past 11 years. Thera will soon be a fourth point of Inter-connectlon with the Bonne ville Power Administration In Northern Klamath County. Copco also purchases Irom the Paclllo Oas and Electrlo Company at one point In Lassen, County, Calilornla, and Interchanges ener gy at two points in Shasta County. Negotiations have been completed which will permit the purchase of power both Jrom the Uonnevllle Power Administration and' the Pa cific Oas and Electric Company to become ellectlve Una year. Applications are now pending be. fore the Federal Powor Commis sion for licenses to construct hydro power plants on both the Klamath River, principally In Klamath Coun ty, and upon the McCloud River in California,' with capabilities of ap proximately aso.ooo kilowatts on each stream. Traiumlaslon lines, distribution lines and other facili ties are Included In this long range plan of development. In order to llnnnce this huge program of de velopment, which envisions doub ling Copco'a total investment In the next live to six years, It was necessary for Copco to petition lor a general rate Increase last winter. rawer lor Uie Klamath Basin as presently contemplated allows max imum demands' east of tho moun tains were as follows, as ol Jan uary, IBM: Klamath County. 46,306 kilowatt; Butte Valley, 1.8K0 kilo watts, and Tulcluke, 6.253 kilowatts.

The present and potential sources of power are aa follows: I. Tho area is presently served over two 66 KV lines iLlnes 4 and I6i and from generation within the district. Including Copco'a East 8lde. West Side and Keno plants, and by purchased power from the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company. A portion of the Tulclake load la served by purchased power origina ting at the Pit No. 1 plant of the PO &E over Copco lines 46 and t. There is ample capacity at the pro scut time to take care of the load. 3. Line 63 will be placed In ser vice within three months and will receive power from BPA In ex change for power which Copco Is now and will be delivering to Its customers. The amount of energy wnicn may oe receivea from this source la determined by the capa city of the transformer, which are rated at 13S.000 KW, or approxi mately IV, times the present max imum demand in the area. Copco'a long range nrogram eon- templates an Interconnection with the plants on the North Umpqua niver ao inai it is possioie that In the future this line ntay be supplied either from BPA or from Copco'a own ayatem. 1. The proposed development of the Klamath River, principally In mamain uouniy, contemplates the addition of approximately 36,000 KW of generating capacity, which la equivalent to five times the ores. ent demands of the area. 4. Engineering atudlea have been undertaken to determine the feasi bility or extending the 330 KV line from Klamath Falls to Intercon nection with Uie system of POiiE. If such Interconnection la made, an alternate source of power would be available In amounts yet to be de termined, but limited to the trans former capacity In the Klamath Falls substation. Upon completion of this nrncrnm. Klamath County will be In the en viable position of having four In dependent sources of power. The first, which Is entirely adeauate for alt present requirements, comes from existing Copco plants over two transmission lines. The second source can come either from the system of the Bonneville Power Administration or from the plants on tne nortn umpqua River, as a line will be built from the North Umpqua area to the transmission line now under construction from Dr. R.
