without the feeling that every

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

Jack to remain In the area until
the question was settled be with

We are extremely concerned with
tne communist threat as well as
cur own delinquency problem.
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. Groups and Institutions
are needed to make the Scouting
program available to at least mo.
of the boys who are anxious to be
come Cubs, Scouts or Explorers.
But It does not stop there.
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. The following
week you turned around and gave
freely of news space night nfter
night for a professional group
whose only object is to take money

How about giving our future
citizens a break?

This Is Bill's big year. Farts ga

This Is the first year to measure
the value of experiments atarted

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

extinction. When studies were In

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
