I suppose more money has been

trying to get away from the curse

By OHB ADDISON
WE HOPE nobody took seriously
mat the "Algae Fleet" of the
Chamber of Commerce cruised the.
lake Thursday for purposes of
studying Ihc algae situation.
Actually it turned out to be
orctty much of a celebration of
tile fact that a full scale algae
study is under way. The study
isn't going full steam yet, no re
sults are promised, and you can't
look for any conclusions on what,
can be done for tiirec years, but
it is actually under way.
It Is underwritten by the Oregon
Klamath River Commission (with
the California commission's prom
ise of help i. bv Klamath County
and the City of Klamath Falls.
It is under the direction of Dr.
Harry K. Phlnnoy of Oregon State
College, with a greduatc student
the on-the-job project director. This
student will be working for his
doctor's degree. He will come here
In a couple of weeks on completion
of a project for the University of
Wyoming experiment station.
Headquarters will be in Gene
Gross' experiment station labora
tory here.
Putting this study together has
been a long time project of the
Chamber, and we want to say
again what it is and isn't.
It is not a course of action or
trentmcnt to try to clear the algae
out of Klamath Lake. It is not a
study of alge as such because
there is no end of scientific data
on all kinds of algae.
It is a study of all the physical
conditions In Klamath Lake which
might have a bearing on alsxc
growth with the aim of finding out
what. If anything, can be done to
control that growth.
The "Algae Fleet" was called
out lo transport the Klambassa
dors, the vi3itin'-grceiin' group of
the Chamber, to Rocliy Point Re
port, Hnrrimon Lodse and Frontier
Guest P.anch iu the Pelican Bay
area.
It was a ' bit of mid-summer
madness you mhht say, end It
was a darned enjoyable day on
the lake.
It did impress some of the land
lubbers (and long time K'am
ath residents who never hod been
on the middle of the lake before)
with the magnitude of that reser
voir ol our life blood and with
the magnitude of the amount of
algae I'icre in solution.
(Maybe we had better learn how
lo harvest ahrae and make use of
It rather than how to hold it down.)
Another point on algae that we'd
like to make clear (as far as this
writer is concerned at least) 3
that the reason for going after this
study la In hopes of keeping that
reservoir full of plain old Klamath
Lake water as in days of yore lor
the bene:it of those who use it
man, bird, beast and llsh.
It is not in hopes of converting
Hie lake into another Southern
California type resort. These who
are looking for such are free to
head south.
This was not the first Klam
baLsador tiip up Klamath Lake
by any means. What probably was
the first oi such wes made about
50 years ago by Bert Hall and a
few others. They went on up
Agency Lake end Wood River on
a visit to lort Klamath.
Their purpose was to inspect the
bar at the mouth of Wood River
nnd other obstructions to naviga
tion with an eye to Improving com
munication with the Fort.
But this should be told by War

Chamber. Warren jpent m?.ny of
nis youlhiul days on the lake and
r.ow Is famous as euthor of an un
published and unwritten history of
navigation and transportation on
Klamath Lake.
There were two differences be
tween the Irips of today and 50
vears ago

see any algae and they did find

Dr. Richard E. McA'dlc. Chief.
United Slates Forest Service, in
speaking to the 33rd national con
vention of the Izaak Walton League
of America this year drew a very
interesting comparison of the pro
gress of the Nation during the past
fifty years of conservation.
"I am unable to think of con
servation or the progress of con
servation as abstract Ideas," stat
ed the Chief Forester. "Progress in
the use of resources and progress
in the restoration and perpetuation
ot resources moves along with
progress in all things that depend
on these resources. Neither wise
use or restoration of resources can
be considered in an economic and
social vacuum."
McArdle then goes on to draw
a comparison between two years
separated by half a century "So
to see how far we've come in re
source conservation in 50 years let's
see where we were a half a cen
tury ago in our resource conser
vation, social and economic lile.

prime, and a trusted presidential
adviser.
"Our population in this great
country has reached 83 million
which seems like a lot of people
lo us here today in 1905. but in
only fifiy years this figure is going
to double. Chicago is a birr city
too nearly two million peoole but
only a third of what its metropoli
tan area is going to have half a
cmtury later. Los Angeles has 102,

first appearance. In this April of
1905, Mr. Edison's electric lights
are beginning to be used by more
people, but in niy home I am do
ing my lessons in the mellow glow
of a "coal oil" lamp. I don't know,
for example, that someday I will
have an electric "ice box" that
will light up automatically when
I open the door. As a matter ol
fact, there aren't any electric ice
boxes.
"The United Slates boasts of
more than two million telephones,
and it would be rather hard to be
lieve that in only a half a century
we will have 50 million or that
during the evening hours 50 million
teenagers will have all of them in
use. Aviation is brand new. It has
been only a little more than a year
since the Wright Brothers made
their historic flight over the sand
dunes at Kitty Hawk. Two years
from now the Army Air Force will
get started assigning one officer
and two enlisted men "to study
the flying machine and the possi
bility of adapting it lo military
purposes." The automobile, how
ever, is ten years old and looks
as if it might be here to stay. We
have 600 trucks registered and
that's the total for the United
States. On any Sunday now when
I stcrt out drivinjr more than that

first transcontinental trip by auto
mobile, made less than two years
aso, look 64 days. The fastest time
yet made across the country was
on railway trains. It took three
dnys and three nights. For every
day travelers it takes eight days
and nignts.

there won't be any radio until an

estry In this comment. The aver
age wages for all industries are
24 cents an hour. In the logging
woods, the hourly wage in the era
1905. run from 12 to 17 cents and'
as high as 27 cents on the Pacific
coast, but in some places in the
South a woods worker gets four
cents an hour and board.
"The northeastern states have
long since been logged over for
white pine and are now being
logged again for spruce. The lake
states still turn out a lot of lum
ber, but are 15 or 20 years past
their peak of production. They have
been pretty largely cut over. The
South as a region is in the lead
now, but this year, 1905, on the
west coast Washington State will
come up with a lumber output of
nearly four billion feet, more than
any other state. Tile United States
lumber production in 1905, will be
a near record year with 43,500.000,-
