Editor Entered u second class nutter at the post oHlee at Klamath Fills. Ore., on August 30, 4906, under act ot Congress, March I, U7 SERVICES: 'ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED PRESS AUDIT BUREAU OP CIRCULATIONS Serving Southern Oregon And Northern California SUBSCRIPTION RATES CARRIER 1 MONTH t 1.60 MONTHS t 00 1 YEAR $18.00 MAIL I MONTH t 1.60 MONTHS I 7.60 1 YEAR 112.00 Hern And There By BILL JENKINS Charlie McFarlan, "Uncle Char lie" to his youthful listeners, called me Into the Inner sanctum of the radio station the otner day to as a few questions about the temper ature readings in the paper. He had been the target ol a few In quirles. So for the benefit of the new comers to the area I'll explain why there are so many dtscrepan- cies in the weather tables you get around town by reading the news papers and by listening to the var ious radio stations. .The "official" temperature Is re corded by the CAA at the airport and, I believe, by the bureau ol reclamation, although it is the CAA report that Is most Widely broad cast. Tills reading is put on the teletypes to Portland and other points and Is the one adopted by the press services lor uieir re port. That Is why the Oregonian ana the Journal both carry a read' ing that varies from that of the Herald and News, because down here we use our own thermometer A good, reliable recording piece mounted on the outside northeast wall in a little wooden cage to protect it from the direct rays of the sun. We adopted this system of us lng our own thermometer several years ago when such wide differ ences In temperaturo in different parts of town were noticed. Tne CAA thermometer is located at the airport, atop the tower out there. Ours Is, as I said, at the office. The bureau's la on Link River In a little house perched alongside the river. Or at least that's where I've always believed it to be. We have to use one temperature, so we use. our own reading. Which does not necessarily mean that this reading Is accurate for every part- of town. Two blocks away the temperature may vary by ten or more degrees. And in the coun ty the variance Is much greater. But, anyway. In ease you've been wondering, that's the way it's done down here. And explains in part at least why there are so many ligures floating around. Talking of the weather reminds us, for some obscure reason, that when we were over at the coast last week we picked up a card Riving the tide table. Shows you the high and low tides for each day, the figure tn feet and the tunes. A thought crossed our minds that It might not be a bad Idea if we had a table like that for the Klam- ath River during fishing season so we'd know when the river was go ing to go up and how high it would go, when It would go down ana now tow. I seem to keep hearing fisher men tell of quite a difference In level. But then of course I don suppose the river Is oulte as re liable as to times as the Pacific Ocean. At least it has never been included In the old saw about time and tide waiting for no man. Another contestant has walked off with the $64,000 prize in the big radio quia show. Americans are going to come around some. day to considering quis programs as a vocation ana claiming unem ployment pay for the weeks they rrn i. wonting. We are reminded of a lovelv nr. toon we saw In some magazine not long ago depicting a man and his wife listening to the spiel of a re- ingerator salesman who Is demon strating the machine and saying nere we oon t Dottier you with a lot of foolish questions, all you unvc wi nave is money." Ciipiiiuli By KEN McLEOD How little do we know about some of the place names in Klam ath County is well Illustrated by the name of our northern commu nity which is the Junction point of the Southern Pacific and the Great Northern Railway. This fact was brought to my attcnllon bv Vir slnla Taylor, who with h-r hus band, operates the Chemult Motel. Mrs. Taylor Is much interested In ir name 01 nrr community and though she has searched we'l she comes in conlact with the Inscru table Indian. When the Southern Parlllc built Its Cascade Line" once known as the "Natron Cut-off" in loai-26 the compnny selected a Lumber of Indian names lor Its I'alions Passing throiich the Klamath In dian Reservation. These names pie picked Irom the Indian Chiefs who ieed the tieatv of October 14. law between the United States government and the Indian tribes of the Klamath Basin There were 2 chiefs and sub-chiefs who slened the treaty und the name Chemult la amons them no,-n.. ,t that he is written about as being a Klamath Indian rhlel there Is no further Information at present available about him. The Taylor family da want to know more about this Klamath chief and should any reader of his column have such Information it would be welcome. Who li 11,1, chief? Where did he live.' When "mi im nirr wneie is he Liried' These are common questions of interest to every person of the community. We nolt that In name does not now appear upon the trl bal role. Perhaps such Information Is contained In the early tiles of in Klamath ARcncy and until he.se are studied by some hlstnr lan these questions no doubt win remain unanswered. In the tradition of the older In dian who mav hv ki,nu. things .there is a reluctance to apeak the name of those who hae passed into the Great Bevond vou are gone It is well to be tin rot. ten. To the while man. however who takes glory in the accompli. h menta of his elders, he not only preserves and perpetuates their names but in the years that follow he adds stories enhancing their valor. Another signer of the treaty of 1864 Is to be found in the name Chlnchalo, another station on the Cascade line of the Southern Pa cific. Chlnchalo is said to have been both an Indian chief and a medicine man. He signed the trea ty of 1864 as Makosas. Will O. Steel has written that the domain of Chlnchalo was In the Klamath Marsh country. In the case of Chln chalo we do have a little more in formation than with Chemult. Chiloquln, the name of our pro gressive town on the Klamath Res ervation Is likewise a well estab lished Indian family name, the spelling of this name as well as the spelling of other Indian names is typically the White man's inter pretation to fit with our present alphabet. The student of Indian language, however, borrows char acters from the Oreek as well. In the attempt, to more clearly ex press, the true Indian pronuncia tion. McArthur writes thst the fam ily name was "Chaloquln." He then goes on to state. "Chaloouln was me village chief of the old Indian town of Bosuck Slwas, or Painted Rock, and his name was given as Chaloquenas in the treaty or iub4. Two sons, George and Mose Chaloquln. served with the state troops In the Modoc War." There is much that could be dis covered in regard to the various chiefs who were leaders of the Indian people at the time of the coming of the white man. Some day a historian will find this field a source of wealth for his efforts of research and until then our cu riosity must remain unsatisfied. Speaking of the Southern Paclf- Ic's "Cascade line" it Is indeed interesting that the "friendly" com pany had little concern regarding to the Klamath Country, even in selecting a name for the new- line" the company went over the hill to the Willamette Valley and picked the name "Natron." Na tron is the name of the native carbonate of soda, or mineral al kali. Natrollte is a hydrous sili cate ot aluminum and sodium com mon in cavities In basalt and oth er Igneous rock. It is generally of a wmte color, transparent or trans lucent. McArthur states: "Natron station, east of Eugene, Is said to owe Its name to a confusion of natron and, natrollte. Richard Kechler of 'Portland, for many years an official of the Southern Pacific Company and its predeces sors, una tne compiler that some natrollte was found near the ela tion, and it was planned to name tne place on that account, but ow ing to a mistake, the name Natron was seceleted." Thus the line from Kirk to Natron now called the "Cas cade line" had Its start, as the "Natron Cut-off" and the great area ol productive wealth through wnicn ine railroad passed was lg' norea in me selection of an ap propriate title for the new route Perhaps It Is a quirk of fate-to note that there was no natron at Nation station yet the mineral Is to be found In the Klamath Basin as a rare occurrance. Most of the sods alkali to be found here Is not the carbonate form but Is so. dltim sulphate commonly called uiauoer s- sail. shows plump women holding down a cow, while cherubs wing about, and as a work of art It Is very Inferior.

It By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK UP) What will give the boom increased zip In 1936? Will It be still greater spending by the average family, by govern ment, py business? Those willing to stick out their necks now ana predict still better times in the next six months be lieve .the added something which will spur the economy Into a still faster pace than In booming 1956 will be spending by business it- sen. Consumers turned the trick this year spending their money credit at a rate that confounded the experts. Government spending had been the efttra Imp that sent the econ omy to Its previously record heights In the 1950-53 period. But business spending plans for early 1956 as announced in detail today by the Department of Com merce show the most gsins planned by any of the nation's three top spenders: the consumer. the government, the businessman. Secretary Weeks got a one-day scoop on his department bv tipping off the percentage figure to the National Assn. of Manufacturers 12 per cent more spending for new plants and equipment In the first three months of next year than in the booming 1955 period. Consumer spending will still be by far the greatest prop to the economy. At present they are spending at an annual rate of bet ter than 256 billion dollars. This Is 8 per cent higher than In 1964. All signs so far are that thev will continue to spend at that rate, or a little higher as peisonal in come totals rise. Three, out of four consumers contacted in recent polls have Said thev thought times would be as good next year as mis. Early last summer, however, consumers were saying they ex pected to SDend more than thev had been and this fall they have done Just what thev said thev would. Recently their tune hss changed. Now most of them sav they expect to spend as much next year as this, but they don't plan to spend more, to the Cascade Wonderland, with many ideal vacation spots, abund ance ol hunting and fishing, and a city ot large population, war ranting many fine stores, radio stations, etc., plus one of the best Ground Observer Towers in the state of Oregon, these are things we are proud of, and are striving to maintain, but lei us not forgei that uiey can be destroyed in a matter of seconds, if they are not! protected by proper fire protec tion, and such, but also by help ing scan the skies for low flying pianes, inai can sup in under ra dar screens and drop those devas tatlng A Bombs, which in five seconds after detonation, pressure fronts would reach a mile away Yes I we are volunteers of the Oround Observer Corp, who help proieci uiese ricnes and the hap py life that is ours, free from ag gression, out we need many more volunteers who can spare a couple of hours per week, to a very im portant and necessary grouD. who every day give of their time, so that we can go peacefully abou our daily living, knowing thev will help warn us of any dangers that may cause us to lose these riches. mere are open shifts, beintr doubled back on because we do not have enough watchers to fill them and retain an extra list of those who can fill In in case, of emergencies.

He has been reported "tired" of the burden the treasury has imposed on him, and since the death of his wife recently he has been reported anxious tu make a change. The difficulty In replacing Butler as chancellor of the exche.fl.uer was reported (behind the delay in re shuffling the cabinet. The post re quires expert knowledge because of ih powerful control it exerts over Britain's economy. The reports said Macmillan might be considered as a possible candidate to succeed Butler. But Macmillan took over the Foreign Office from Eden only a few months ago and it was feared mov ing him might imply criticism of his achievements as foreign secre tary.

But we must realise that this is an attitude wmen can change as the circum stances of power are altered. The summertime accord on this vital issue reflected what for n practical purposes Is an East-West stalemate in tne nuclear field Thai does not mean the Russians match us eitner in number or quality of A and H-bomb devices. It means they have enough of such weannn. to hurt us badly If a war should ever start. But stalemates do not necessarilv stay fixed. For one thing, the Reds could conceivably close at least part of the gap which now represents our numerical and qua tative advantage. More important than this. how. ever. Is what they might be able to do In the related, crucial h.m of Intercontinental missiles. Colossal as they are A and H bombs are not technically new weapons. They are simply stupen dous bombs, which like other. must be delivered hv ntn i their targets. The Intercontinental missile Is a new weapon. tn ine view ol some experts.

The rare to perfect an Interconti nental missile mav be the most vital one the United States has ever Joined.
