On the Uth of May. Otis reported that since the month of March, the Modocs had been quiet, giving no cause of complaint and were at that time scattered from Yreka to Camp Yalnax. and through the mountains in the vicinity of Lost River, his camn at that nlace was useless, and he recommended the withdrawal of the troops from there, proposing to make an oc. casional tour through the country instead.

The controversy of Captain Jack's occupancy of his old home site on Lost River eventually built up to a climax, it appears to be a long story and one that does not lack the Ingredients of political In trigue. Eventually political pres sure through petitions and congres sional pressure brought the order to arrest Captain Jack and his head men. One of the interesting points that no writer has appar ently oarea reveal is the story of the petitions and Just who was the agent in passing them about for signature. When the "heat" was on the In- dian Department to do something, events began to happen. A. B. Meacham was relieved of the Su perlntendency and L. B. Odeneal was appointed In bis nlace. This sudden action in the height of this controversial subject has no ex planation, the political angle has been deliberately supressed by all the early writers, nevertheless, the shift trom Meacham to Ode neal meant a complete reversal ct policy from one of persuasion to one of "get tough." Early - in the year while ne gotiations were still In the hands of 'Meacham. General Canby had instructed Major E. Otis who was the commanding officer of the dis trict of the lakes to establish In the threatened neighborhood a cav alry force of sufficient size to pro tect the settlers, and In accord ance with these Instructions a de tachment of fifty cavalry under three officers were established In a temporary camp In the Lost River district which for a time re lieved the settlers. When Odeneal took over Meacham's position early in Anril one of his first acts was to con sult with Major Otis In regard to the propriety of permitting Jack's band to remain longer In the dis trict. Otis made a formal recom mendation in writing, that the per mission of the previous August given by Meacham to Captain Jack to remain In the area until the question was settled be with drawn and the Indians be directed to go upon the reservation, bow ever, such an order should not be given before September, so that in the case they refused, the "' ' wu,m f u unver una now ne crowded rntinrf 1,1 ..... , 7. - ...

In my mind one of the best ways to comoat these is through the youth character building and citi zenship training programs. The Boy Scouts of America is the most Influential program of that type jor ooys in tne world today. However, this program requires ana aeserves tne support oi every inaiviauai, group, or institution where the youth of our country is concerned. Adults are needed bad ly lor leadership In the Scouting program.

These Scouting units and their combined activities must be prop erly p u b 1 1 e 1 1 e d. That is what prompted me to write this letter. The Klamath District of the Boy Scouts of America put on a huge Scout Circus on Modoc Field Sat urday evening May 15. It would really take a atudent to have learned this from your paper, which you claim la "The baslo ad vertising medium of the Klamath Basin, etc." Only one shortened news story with a picture and a large paid ad appeared before and not a single comment after the circus. Evidently you do not realize that about 1200 boys and .100 leaders, all local people, aotually participa ted In the show which you so com pletely overlooked.

ARIA INTIRPRISIS 251 Reclamation such as ordinary life, 20 payment me 3D payment life and endow, merits, during 1953, VA announced, Of the more than 6,000,000 World War Two policies In force today, more than 2,000,000 are on per manent plans. At the end of 1945 only one her cent of all NSLI policies were on permanent plans. Today, almost 35 per cent of all NSLI policies are on permanent plans. The only GI life Insurance which may not be converted un der present laws Is the special five-year unconvertible term pol icy that Is issuable to veterans with service since the start of the Korean hostilities. All veterans who-hold NSLI term Insurance Issued before April 26, 1951, may convert these poli cies to permanent plans of Insur ance. . Those who convert pay the same premium rate throughout the premium-paying life of the policy. Term policyholders, on the other hand, pay at progressively higher premium rates as they grow old er. VA said that thousands of term policies, which have been per mitted to lapse for non-payment of premiums when due but which are still within the five year term period, may be reinstated and converted upon application to VA their premiums, Question of the Week Q.

No human being will be safe from rescue, wheth er he needs It or not. Dogs will be hurling people from subway platforms Into th n.ik advancing trains and leaping down and pulling them back by the skin of their teeth. Dogs will sneak up behind you, butt you sprawling headlong In front of taxlcabs, then carry you proudly off in their Jaws to the nearest hospital. Dogs will be lighting matches and setting fires, Just to save -somebody. It Is too great a temptation. Frankly, If the offer were re versed, wouldn't you go all out to rescue a dog for 1 1,000, a gbld leash, and a year's free food, plus uiree aaya on tne cuff In Chicago?

A lew Umpquas have been seen. No Imnaha fish have been discovered to date. Pitney Is disappointed In one fact. Tne hatcher-reared fish are running small in all sample made tnus far. Tney average moslly be tween 16 and 20 pounds. If. how ever. Uie salmon can be Tailored In number, and permitted to spawn naturally, larger Ue may result In future migrations. Pitney expresses great apprecia tion lor the cooperation being re ceded from anglers. Ho has had a very gratllylng number ot reports Irom nnglv-rs who have caught fin marked salmon. Many poo'ile, he says, "have cone out of their m.v to furnish Iniormallon. By balancing analrr re. oor;a against sampling from the trap at Winchester, he will be able he atates, to compile mucn noro accurate Information aa an aid to future management. River studies, aa about worked himself Into a state of exhaustion since the opening of the salmon season. This Is Bill's big year. Farts ga thered on the Unipqua River this season will have national Interest. This Is the first year to measure the value of experiments atarted live ycara ago. From this year's studies scientists expect to learn a great deal concerning possibilities for rehabilitating depleted streams. With the extreme caution of the true scientist. Bill Is venturing no predictions and triea to preserve a strictly analytical frame of mind. But, as he discusses Ihe outlook, his optimism creeps out and It can be sensed he Is extremely pleased with prospects to date. The Uinpqua River's spring chin hook salmon run was commercial ly llshed almost to the point ol extinction. When studies were In augurated by the Oame Commis sion In 1946, only 1,914 salmon were 1961 no season had a tally In ex cess of 3.000 aalmon and this trom a river that once swarmed with huge spring-run chlnooks, NET FISHING HALTED Commercial fishing for salmon was limited In 1947, and an amend ment to the closure bill In 1940 took the nets out of the'atream entirely, Insofar as game fish were con cerned. The effect of net removal be came apparent In 1952 when the count Jumped to 4.700. The 1953 tally from a smaller, parent run was 4.310 fish. In 1949 the Oame Commission took eggs from the Rogue, Imnaha and Uinpqua Rivers and hatched them at Rock Creek. Some scien tists had held that aalmon could not be kept In fresh water beyond the period they normally would return to salt water. But the fish hatched at Rock Creek were kept there for la months and 'were released In 1951. By that time they had auf flcent size to Increase chances for survival. This Is the year when fish from the 1951 plant will re turn as adults. From the return, scientists will be able to measure the auccess of the hatchery experi ment. That Is why Bill Pitney, has been working night and day to obtain all data possible. Although Bill Pitney Is kecnlnu his fingers crossed, the present out look is nrignt. The run to date la far aheuJ of all past ycara,' Checkera a', the Winchester station Monday counted 4 aalmon 438 of them adults over the board at Winchester. That la by far the largest one-day count on record. NEW TRAP USED A newly Installed fish trap is be ing used at Winchester to rid In gathering data.

This trap nna a canvas bottom which, bv means of a winch, can bn raised to the surlace of the water, permitting examination of the trapped llr.li without necessity of handling and without danger of Injury.
