Waterman of the Univer sity into whose hands Ishi was placed by the California authori ties has written many Interesting anecdotes concerning his associa tion with tills man of the stone ngc. Waterman especially stresses that the last survivor of this tribe j who fell into his hands in 1910 was a true stone-age Indian, as unac- cumstomed to the ways of civili sation as could well be Imagined. , "I should like to tell somethini of my acquaintance with lshi," writes W a t e r m an, "especially those Incidents which illustrate the character of the man and shed light on his peculalr viewpoint. I may. begin by speaking of rail road trains. Our friendship startotl at Orovlllc, California; where lone liness and hunger had driven Ishl to .corns Into a slaughterhouse near town. In bringing him down to, the University, where his home 'was to - be for the rest of his life, It i was necessary to. take tha train. Behold' Ishl and myself, an at tendant Indian, and some hun dreds of interested palefaces, wait ing on the platform for the train to come In. As Number Five ap peared In the distance and came whistling and smoking down the humming rails In a cloud of dust, Ishi wanted to get behind some thing. We were standing some dis tance from the track as It was. for I felt that he might be a (raid of the engine. My chaigo however wanted to hide behind something He had often seen trains. Later he told us In his own language that he had In his wanderings seen irains go by in the distance. But he did not know ' they ran on tracks. When he saw them he al ways lay down in the grass or be hind bush until they were out of sight. He visualized a train as come devil-driven inhuman prodi gy.

He mar.tally compared the towering twelve-story building not with his hut In Deer Creel:, which was only four feet high, but with the cliffs and crags of his native mountains. He had something in some way analogous stored up in his experience. But to see five thousand people at once was some thing undreamed ef, tri It upset him." "Which Is to be considered more interesting and surprising, per se, an ordinary trolley car or an au tomobile?" Waterman asks and then continues: "For Ishl, the trollev car everv time. I stupidly expected him to grow excited over his first auto mobile, as I did over mine, in the year 1888. For Ishl, of course, both were plain miracles. Both the streetcar and auto were agi tated and driven about by some supernatural power one as much as the other. The streetcar, however, was the bliter nf the two. it had a gong which rang loudly at times, and moreover was provided with an attachment which went 'shoo!' and blew the dust away when the airbrakes were released. Ishl would watch trolley cars by the hour. Airplanes, by the wav. ha took quite philosophically. We took him down to Golden Date Park to see Harry Fowler start to flv ine continent.

KHMATII rOI'NTY COUNCIL OF PTA By Mrs. John W Insley The main topic of discussion at the November 1 mcetinc 0f Klam ath County Council of PTA was tho matter of duplicate dues it generally felt-(hat where a child is transferred from one school to another (each school h t .

The yield per acre is estimated to be ihe lowest since 1939, according 10 uounty Agent c. A. Henderson. The 1953 crop of potatoes in the Klamath Basin totaled 24,355 acres. This was the third largest acreage ever planted here and is exceeded only by the years 1944 and 1945. The 1945 acreage, the highest on record, was 28,098 acres, accord ing to county agent C. A. Henderson. Harvesting ls completed and the weather has been excellent throughout the harvest period. Some of the potatoes dug quite late received some field frost. On the whole,, the quality is reasonablj good, but some of the potatoes are small. Tremendous growth was made late in the season and many of the fields were normal in both size and quality. In the Pacific torthwest the states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho had 68,940.000 bushels in 1953 and the '54 crop Is now estimated to be about the same with 68.985, 000 bushels. Shipments from these Ihree states to November 1 totaled 34.071 cars as compared with 22, 051 cars In 1953. Washington has now shipped more potatoes than iney aid in the entire vear of 1953 Washington's total shipments to date for this season are 9.267 cars as compared with a season's total of 8.181 last year. Oregon shipments for the sea son are 5.248 compared with 4.812 a year ago. The total for Idaho to date this season ls 9.556 as against iu.-'40 cars lasi year. In 1953 the national potato croD was 373.711,000 bushels: The Octib- er 1 estimate for tha 1951 crop is 345.939.900 bushels. ..!kV. -f: '-'t t ' PROPER APPLICATION OF DRESSINGS for burns in case of an atomic attack is beinq dem. onstriled on Dorothy Risse, Lanqell Valley, center, by Mae Speirs, 3838 Bristol Street, Klam., ath Falls, left, and Mary Frances Hammond, Merrill, members of ihe home nursing classes now being taught at Red Cross headquarters.
