Blow boat to China routine; A
letter mailed at the Klamath
Agency on June IS was delivered
to the office here on the 39th.
Figured out roughly that would
mean that it traveled less than
lour miles per day In lis wandering
way down the lake and into town.
.' Oh well, things usually go too
fast anymore, anyhow, and It's
port of soothing to go slow lor a

The letter, by the way, was
from Tom Sanders with copies
of his transfer to the Warm Springs
station where he takes over as
administrative officer.
Seems that the Indian service
considers Warm Springs as one of
' their more favorable duty stations.
Hope Sanders will like it there
as well as he did here. DIehl, who
has been superintendent here for

JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON Ul President
Eisenhower, in his Bute of the
Union message last Jan. 7. proudly
proclaimed this country had seised
the mutative to the cold war with
communism. -
Whatever happened to that initia
tive? ,
Here, six months later, instead
of having the communis ui on the
defensive, this country has been
baffled on two fronts: Diplomatlc
ally, at the Geneva conference and
militarily; in Indochina.
The Eisenhower administration
:had 18 months between the time
it took office in January 1918
and last April when the Indochina
War between the French and the
CommunlsMed Tletminh reached
a crisis to work out a plan If
crisis came.
In that time the President and
members of his administration re
peatedly had talked of the Impor
tance of keeping Indochina out of
Communist hands, saying if it fell
all Southeast Asia might go like
so many dominoes.
But when the showdown came
the crisis in Indochina began to
develop just before the foreign
ministers'- conference opened in
Geneva April 26 It turned out the
: administration had no plan at all.
Instead,-li scurried around try-
. mg to find a way to save Indo
china. It urged the Prench and
: British to. join It in united action
in Indochina. The British wouldn t
buy.
' The administration has never
publicly stated what form this
; united action would take. It may
not know. Eisenhower's advisers
were divided on what kind of ac
tion and whether any action-
should be taken: . -
It was Secretary of 8tate Dulles
Who was the big talker. He spoke
ominously of the "massive retalia
tion" this country would invoke if
the Chinese Communists invaded
waocnina to neip tne vietmmn.
This startled America's Euro
pean allies, who could envision
themselves engulfed in an atomic
war. But, instead of startling the
' Chinese,, It may have amused
them.
They didn't have to send troops
into uaocnina to help the Viet-
minh. The Vietmlnh had manpow
er. What It needed was supplies.

and technicians. China sent them,

ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL
by KEN McLEOD
The dying civilisation of the In -
dlan had Its revivals, one was the
teaching of the Indian prophet Smo-
nalla, the followers of this cult
were called "Dreamers" for they
dreamed of k day when the Indian
would be free from the tyranny of
the white man and tree again to
live the life of their fathers.
This religious cult was current
among the tribes of the upper Co
lumbia River during the seventies.
The cult was extensively spread
over a large area of Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho. Those who fol
lowed the cult were often spoken
of as "Smohalla Indians" rather
than to their particular tribal
name. The name, properly was
8hmoqula" an Indian name sig
nifying "The Preacher," which was
given to Smohalla after he became
prominent as a religious reformer.
Smohalla belonged to the Sokulk,
a small tribe related to the Nes
Perces and whose location cen
tered about the Priest Rapids on
the Columbia In eastern Washing
ton. He was bom sometime around
1815 or 1820, and In his boyhood
lrequented a neighboring Catholic
mission, from which he derived
some of his ceremonial ideas. He
distinguished himself as a warrior
and began to preach about the
year 1850.
Somewhat later In consequence
of a quarrel with a rival chief,
he left home secretly and absented
himself for a long time, wandering
as far south as Mexico and re
turning overland through Nevada
to the Columbia. On being ques
tioned he declared he had been to
the spirit world and had been sent
back to deliver a message to the
Indian race.
This message. like that of other
aboriginal prophets was, briefly,
that the Indians must return to
their primitive mode of life, re
fuse the teachings or the things of
the white man, and in all their
actions be guided by the will of
the Indian God as revealed in
dreams to Smohalla and his priests.
The doctrine found many adher
ents. Chief Joseph and the Nes
Perces being among bis most de
voted believers.
Sitting Bull of the Sioux was an
other woo was strongly attracted to
the Dreamer religion. Sitting Bull
distrusted the Americans. "It was
very bad," he said, "to place any
faltn In the word of Americans."
Sitting Bull likewise despised the
Indians who bad meekly submitted
to confinement. "God made me an
Indian," he said, "but not a reser
vation Indian." He gathered about
him a growing company of lrre-
concilables, Sioux who valued their
traditional way of life and had no
intention of abandoning it. Among
Bitting Bull's Beliefs was the idea
that some day all the dead warrior
would arise and help the living
recapture their country.
The preacning of Smohalla was
exceedingly popular and his wide
spread wanderings among the
tribes of the West made' all the
Indian world familiar with the
tenets of his preaching. To what
extent smohalla s teaching bad in
strengthening the will of Captain
jaca ana nis leaders to stand de
fiant before the triumphant march
of the white man's civilization, we
will never know, but that Smohalla
gave breath to the Modoc's cause
1 cannot be denied. Smohalla s re-
turn from Mexico through Nevada
w nis uoiumoia Kiver nome,
all probability brought him through
tne Moaoo country since the main
artery of travel between the Co
lumbia and the tribes hi Nevada
passed through the Ilamatb Basin.
In addition to this suspected visit
of the Prophet to the Modoc people,
tne Moaocs came In contain witn
the cult and Its leaders everytlme
tney attended the great Indian
"fairs" on the Columbia.
The whites watched the spread of
tne teaching of Smohalla with a
considerable degree of anxiety, for
it was a religion of rebellion
agauist their rule, and it was the
religion 01 the tree Indian who
refused to be beguiled by the prom'
ises oi security of life unaer uie
benevolent protection of the feder
al government. Few early writers
have given attention to tnis basic
cult and Its inlluence upon the Mo-
aoc war, in Meacnam s account of
the Modoc War, however, we find
in his writing of the days after the
massacre ol the Peace Commis
sion
"Extermination to the Modocs!"
says General Sherman. 'Extermina
tion,' repeat tne newspapers. 'Ex
termination,' says the echo over
the Pacific Coast. Extermination Is
the watchword everywhere. It does
look like extermination, that's a
tact, with half a hundred upheav
ing graves filled with soldiers near
the camp; a hospital overflowing
with wounded an army demoral
ised , . . Saturday morning and
Modoc emissaries are crawling Into
camps of the Klamaths, Snakes,
and Wall-pa-pahs, endeavoring to
uwuce uiese people to join the
Modocs at war. They paint in glow
ing colors the great success they
have had. and declare now is the
time when red men should unite
against a common enertVy. It can
not be denied that in every Indian
camp along the frontier line there
were sympathizers with the Mo
docs . . . The new relia-ion nro.
claimed by "Smohalla" had found
ionowerj everywhere and wax

carrying insects.
But It Is not diseases alone which
make Insects our enemies; Just
the ordinary mosquito bite Is bad

The reaction to mosquito bites
Is not always alike. In some peo

and severe Itching, while In uliiers
the reaction Is slight and lasts
only a short time.
When the mosquito bites. It prob
ably pushes something Into the
skin but Just what this substance
is Is still a matter of debate. It Is
generally believed to be similar lo
the substance which bees Inject
when they sting, the chemical na
ture of which Is partly known.
Although attempts have been
made to prepare extracts from the
mosquito In an effort to create re
sistance or immunity In people,
these trials have not been wholly
successful.
Even If a satisfactory substance
could be discovered and prepared;

Hundreds of kinds of spiders arc
found In the Americas, but appar
ently only one, known as the black
widow spider, is likely to produce
severe symptoms by biting.
This is a shiny coal-black spider,
usually marked with bright red or
yellow or both. The female Is the
one responsible for the bites.
This spider measures about half
an inch long on the average. When
It bites It forces a poison into the
wound which may make one ex

death. Pain Is severe.

Fortunately bites by the black
