PAGE SIX FRANK JENKINS Editor BILL JENKINS Managing-. Editor Lucky Us By BILL JENKINS About every so olten It does us good, I think, to sit down and count our blessings. Keeps our thinking straight and our spirits high. And, brother, up here In the high country we have so much to be thankful for mat we snouion i v ever stop telling ourselves about Pick up almost any magazine these days and nine times out of ten you 11 run Into an ariicie con eernin either the smog menace In the cities or the ever growing traffic Droblem. Neither one oi whlrh Is a serious menace to us. 8inog, particularly. Is a persis tant nvll Dlaiulnsr the metropoll tan centers which may someday nrll the end of cities as sucn Th. move to decentralize Indus- trv rnm ton late. Almost all mal- or centers all over the world are bothered to some degree by this ohenomenon. with Los Angeles high on the list. Up here In the High Desert we can still oreauie all the good Iresh air we have lung-room for. There are no gritty particles to Irritate the eyes and lead eventually to reap""" J heart diseases. And you can still drive your car i muin ana nark within a short hike of the business district. There Is no need to taice a qui ' your parking place the shop ping center of your choice. Find ing a place to park, even for a price la a pretty difficult thing In fhe major cities and the long hours spent In fume-choked lanes of traffic getting to and from home and 'the downtown sections are both trying and harmful, both to the nerves and your general physical condition. Up here we are only a matter of hours away irom " j want to visit one. Reno and lta glittering playhouses is a hop skip and a jump away. We can reach the coast, in good weather. In less than six hours. If you're the out door type there Is hunting, fish lng, camping, hiking, outdoor rec 'reatlon of almost every kind Just beyond the outskirts of town. We have a good solid business foundation and more and more growth Is coming In the Industrial picture, all of which adds up to a healthy economic outlook. We have a market for our products riimlte the lact that prices aren't always what we'd like to the south In rapidly growing California And, perhaps best of all, we have way or lire, a iree ana easy av- tltude that admits of ploasura and fun and companionship with our fellow citizens, that seta our nign country apart from so many other areas. The Klamatn Basin, oniy a short span of years from the sage brush, has a young outlook on life. I think we are all fortunate In deed to live In the Klamath Basin, and I, for one,1 am going to go right on giving thanks for all that we've got here both right now and in sight for the future. 8peaklng of smog, I wonder If It could be the reason for the looming popularity of skin diving? In some, areas it's only under water that you can get away from the choking haze. ' And apeakmg of California re minds us that they are trying out a new idea down there. Called Flav-R-Straws. These new straws contain chocolate flavoring and the chocolate taste Is obtained by dip ping the straw In either cold or hot milk and drawing the liquid through. Does this mean the end of the soda Jerk? It could be, too. lhat this Is the first step toward making plates that will serve as dessert when the meal is finished, thus elimi nating dish wishing. A move which 1 heartily favor, inci dentally. . p ' Iloniiimiii I'ranklin By DKB ADDISON "Will the paper have something on the 260th anniversary of Benja min Franklin's birth? It will be January 17th. In addition to be ing a printer he really was a great American. I've read his autobiography several times and each time get something new out of it. At the last reading 1 dis covered that he was a prophet too; he prophesied the lime when the world would achieve lasting peace through International understand ing." This query was from Frank Oanong. a disciple of Ben's, In the mercantile business. It must be remembered that Ben Franklin was past master ot making an honest buck, and keep lng it, in addition to Inventing electricity, bifocals, the Declara tion of Independence, central heat ing and the platform rocker , , , so brother Ganong ts to be com mended. Ben did get In two years of schooling before setting out to make hla fortune at the age of 10. He achieved that and retired at the age of 42. to devote the remaining half (43 years) of his life to public service. That "International understand lng" business sounds like he found' ed the Rotary Club, but that didn't come about until a couple of hundred years later, at the Insti gation of another disciple named Paul Harris out West In Chicago. Franklin's headquarters were In Philadelphia, though he did spend considerable time in the Old Country on behalf of his country' men. He did one stretch of 18 yeara in London and succeeded in getting the Stamp Act repealed He did organize the Junto Club In Philadelphia, which later became the American Philosophical So ciety. His "Pennsylvania Gazette" later became the "Saturday Eve hing Post" which still comes out Entered h second class nutter at the post office lit Klamath Fells, Ore., on August 10, 190, under act of Congress, March (, 1879 SERVICES: ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED PRESS AUDIT BUREAU OP CIRCULATIONS " Senring Southern Oregon And Northern California on any time but Saturday evening to this day. Chet Langslet should be Interest ed to know that Ben Franklin served as Postmaster General of the Colonies and waa the first man to make the postal system self supporting (was he the last?) and started the Dead Leuer ui flee. Our Klamath Basin farmers should salaam In obeisance January nth because Ben was the man who started tne use oi lerti llzer to grow better crops. He used lime. Actusllv he -didn't Invent elec tricity but he did Invent the light ning rod. It's fitting that this writ- should recognize franniin s 2501h. not onlv because he wag printer but because he Invented, mamttactured, advertised and sold his inventions. The saying, "'an ounce of pre vention la worth a pound of cure was Franklin's advertising slogan to sell the rods. Another of his advertising slogans, concocted to sell the Declaration of Indepen dence. waa. "we must hang to- gether, or assuredly we shall all hang separately." Another good enougn reason tor observance Is that, on .me 2tn anniversary of his birth, yours truly adopted one of his great In ventions, bifocals, and on this 360th la getting the hang of them. Though Franklin was the only man to sign not only the Declara tion of Independence, but the Trea ty of Alliance with France, the treaty of Peace with England and the constitution ot tne united States, and was more Instrumental in raising the standard ot living of the colonists and all following Americans than any other one man, he first and last was a printer. His last will and testament start ed out, "I, Benjamin Franklin, printer , . ." For 36 years he wrote and published "Poor Rich ard's Almanac" every year. In many American homes there were only two books, the Bible and the Almanac. The wise and witty say ings of Poor Richard are an in fluence today In promoting thrifty habits and upright living. The Poor Richard Club, rounded 60 yeara ago by a group of ad vertising men, on this anniversary year is raising a fund tor the restoration of the grave of lta Pa tron Saint In-Chrlst Church Burial Ground, Fifth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia. . . Oh yes, you oan look for lasting world peace starting in tne year 1983. Indan Treaty ay ivfi.pt MCLauu With the coming termination of the Klamath Indian Reservation there have been many references to the treaty' signed between the government of the United Slates and the Klamath, Modoc and Yakooskln band of Snakes usually spoken of as the treaty of Octo ber 14, 1864. This treay Is on record in Vol. 18: Statutes at Large; page 707. This treaty Is one of a large number of agree ments entered In by the govern ment and the Indian people during period in our history when sev eral hundred treaty pacta were made with the various tribes. Some of the other early Indian treaties made In Oregon were with the Rogue River Tribes on September 10, 1863 and on Novem ber 16, 1864. With the Umpqua, Cow Creek band on September It, ibm. wun the umuoua. Chasta (Chastacosta), and other tribes In the Umpqua region on November is, 1854. With Umpqua and Kal- apuya on November 38, 1854. Then June 26. 1865 a treaty was signed with the Confederate Bands of Middle Oregon snd a second' treaty was drawn with the same group on November 16, 18(15. The Indians of the Northwest ap parently fared much better under the American procedure than did the Indians of California who came under Spanish rule and Spain had an entirely different attitude to ward tenure of land than did the Americans, hence there are no treaties apparently with any of the Indian Tribes of California that I have found a mention about. The political status of the In dians residing within the territor ial limits of the United States from the formation of the govern ment down to March 3. 1871 waa something unique In the history of the development of nations, for during this period the relations be tween the white man and the In dian were determined by treaties made with the Indian tribal authorities. On March 3. 1871, Congress en acted legislation that set aside the legal fiction of recognising the Inl dian tribes as independent nations with which the United States could enter Into solemn treaties. The re sult of this new law waa to bring under tht Immediate control of Congress the relations of the gov ernment with the Indians and to reduce to simple agreements what had before been accomplished bv treaties as with a foreign power. It Is Indeed Interesting to note that for nearly s century the gov ernment of the United States, al though claiming complete sov. erelgnty over the territory and in habitants within its domain, adopted tht method of dealing with the Indians through treaties, which In the true legsl sense of the word csn only be entered Into by Inde pendent sovereignties The first step of the government in determining Its policy toward the Indians, whether expressed or Implied, was to decide the nature of their territorial rights, this be ing the chief factor In the relation between the Indian and the white man. The United States Supreme Court In a famous case known as Johnson and Oraham's lessee, vs. Mcintosh made the statement: "It haa never been contended that the Indian title amounted to nothing Their right, of possession has never been questioned. The claim of the government extends to the com plete, ultimate title, charged with the right of possession, and to the exclusive power of acquiring this right." This statement of attitude has been confirmed by repeated decisions of the court. Since this action fixed the government's at titude toward ownership of the land the next step required the determination as to what branch of government would carry out the policy. Under the ninth Article of Con federation It was declared that: '.'The United States in Congress assembled have the sole and ex elusive right and power of regu lating tne trade and managing all affairs with the Indians not mem bers of any of the states." It Is clear, therefore, that while acting under the Articles of Confederation the rights of managing relations witn tne Indiana was vested In Congress alone. In the formation of the constitution this Is briefly ex pressed under the powers ot the legislative department, as follows: "To regulate commerce with for eign nations and among the sev eral states, and with the Indian tribes." It is apparent from the use of the term "tribes" that the fram ers of the constitution, had In contemplation the method of deal ing with the Indians as tribes through treaties. This is clearly shown by the act of March 1,. 1793, In which it was atated that no purchase or grant of lands shall be of any validity "unless the same be made by treaty or con vention entered Into pursuant to the constitution." This- action of Congress necessarily placed the Initiatory steps in dealing with the Indians under the Jurisdiction of the President as the treaty-making power, subject to the confirmation of the Senate, The colonies and also the mother country had treated with the In dians as "nations" their chiefs or sachems often being designated as "kings." and this Idea, being re tained by the founders of our gov ernment, was Ingrafted Into their policy. Notwithstanding the evi dent anomaly of such a course, this implied equality was recog nized In the dealings between the lw until the act of March 3, 1871 Dufcing al this time Indian titles to lands were extinguished only unoer me creaty-majcins clause of the constitution; and these treaties, though the tribe may have been reduced to a small band, were usually clothed In the same stately verbiage as the most Important treaty with a great European power, The Iliver Kid By FRANK TRIPP More than a half century ago an 18-year-old showman came to a vaudeville theater where I was the press agent, hungry for press material. He concealed from me the best true press agent story of thai day; yet now he says that a yarn which I Invented made him famous. He was Zen Zeno, a capable slack wire performer and con tortionist, but he waited 60 years to tell me that he Is the only person who ever crossed Niagara Gorge on a tight rope, without a balancing pole. Back then, I would have given by eye-teeth for the story. It happened In 1897. He was already known as "Zeno, the river kid," and was only 10 years old. I lately learned It from his mem oirs, which he asked me to edit. Zeno was born in Niagara Falls, N.Y. An exhibitionist named Hardy had crossed Niagara with aid of a pole, amid blare and wide publicity. His half mile of rope still swung In place across the deep gorge. Little Zeno, a born daredevil, had done almost every forbidden thing around the boiling, swirling river. That rope beckoned him. At 7 o'clock of a mid-September evening, Zeno climbed to the rope, on the Canadian side; no pole, no shoes, Just pants, shirt and boy nerve. Twenty minutes later he Jumped onto American soil, and into the arms of astounded police, who arrested htm for Illegal entry via a tight rope. Boy, what a press story I Learning he was American born, with a sound lecture and deep ad miration the cops let him go. So there Is no police docket record In Niagara Falls of a noteworthy feat which perhaps some sojourn ing bridal couple may remember In the sunset days of a happy married life. It so. let me know. The tight rope, the slack wire, the circus and vaudeville became Zeno's career for 34 years. Then came the Army and Injuries which changed the river kid bark to his reel name, and a new life. ' Strangely he happened to locate In the city where I first met him In vaudeville. He lives there still, the proprietor of a successful business. I live there too. Now for the phony press story, which could have been the real one that I have Just told you. Today, when both of us are creaking at the joints. Zeno tells me: "I first met you in 1905. Your gag about my name put me in Tony Pastor's and a long run at the New York Hoppodrome. That was my first real money, my first big billing. Sure, I had a good act, but I needed a press boost, and you put me over." Words that make an old P. A. happy. It had to be evidence like that to convince me that the overstout. staid business man who stood be fore me was that lithe, nimble, flex Jointrd Zen Zeno of 60 years ago. 1 bought It; he has proved It.

The one that I wrote brought success -to Zeno, and I'm glad. It was a simple yarn, born of expediency, yet it made every book lng agent conscious of Zen Zeno and got him work. Stories can do things like that. . It is old enough to be new again As is so much that we hear today's airwaves. When I Interrupt a TV program to tell the vintage or origin of much that gets by for fresh cske, Fanny often says "Oh, be still, let me enjoy it everybody didn't come out of the Ark with you." The press story that put Zeno over was a steal on a gag of that day, because his stage n.'me fitted A little circus went broke smart concessionaire took over and paid off the performers alpha' helically. That was tough on Zeno. The money never got down to the as. Next season, when Zeno showed up for his bookings, the agent greeted mm: "HI, Zeno" "Not on your life." piped Zeqo 'I m AJax this season." It was In days when little shows were forever going busted on the road. Somehow the yarn became Zeno's own story and made big snots remember him. It also made me remember him when he dropped In the office one day to pay his advertising bill, and sain: 'I think it Is about time that you and I renew an old acquaint ance. f or tne last 20 vears. to me he had been Elmira's Oliver Hilton, fashionable furrier. So, this was close - mouthed "Zeno, the rl"er kid." and we had been neighbors for two decades.

Veterans who want to receive thler 1956 dividend In the same manner as In the past are not required to notify VA of that fact because their previous payment method will be applied automati cally, VA announced. For veterans who fail to state in writing how they want their regular dividends to be handled VA Is required by law to set up a dividend credit to their insur ance account and to use this credit to pay premiums as they become due and are not otherwise timely paid. Unused dividend credits will draw Interest compounded annual ly until they are" withdrawn by the policyholders or are paid out at the maturity of the policies in conformance with the policyholders' wisnes. All eligible policyholders also may request VA in writing to pay their regular dividends to them in cash or to apply the dividends In payment of future premiums.

Iritis By EDWIN P. JORDAN, M.D. Mrs. A. J. asks for a discus sion of iritis, particularly lta pos sible causes and treatment. Cer tainly this serious eye disease de serves attention. It almost always causes pain, watering of the eyes, sensitivity to bright light. If it goes on too long it can lead to poor vision or even loss of sight In the Involved eye. If Iritis begins suddenly the symptoms are likely to be worse than In the chronic variety, but recovery usually comes more rapidly, perhaps In a few weeks. The pain Is likely to be severe, and worse at night. Touching or pressing the eyeball Is very paln- iui. Iritis Is sometimes associated with rheumatism, diabetes, tu berculosis, syphilis or injury. It is most Important that the cause of the Iritis be discovered whenever possible. The disease producing the In flammation of the iris must be treated as well as the eye Itself. The search for infection elsewhere In the body must be carrid out painstakingly and thoroughly. But sometlms no cause whatever can be found. When proper treatment Is begun early, the Iritis often clears up completely, but complications and the possibility of chronic Inflam mation are dangerous possibilities. The eye itself requires highly skilled treatment, including t h e use of drugs, heat applied locally, rest and protection from light. KLAMATH FALLS.

W. Trask. district engineer of the Division of Highways at Red ding, says it h; - now been pos sible for engineers to visit various portions of the state highway in the Redding district, and it is esti mated the total damages from flood waters will amount to ap proximately two and three-quarter million dollars. This figure Is divided into two categories. Emergency funds are for damage to roads which must be repaired in order to restore them to a usable condition. Re construction figures are in addition to those listed for emergency re pairs and are for use in restoring the highway to Its former condi tion. Siskiyou County emergency re pair costs amount to $103,180. The figure for reconstruction will be $485,750. The areas where major damage was sustained were In Scott Valley, and along the Klam- th River. In the valley, the bridge over the Scott River near Port Jones was destroyed, and the bridge over Kid der Creek was washed out. The Patterson Creek Bridge had dam age on the approaches. Along the Klamath River, the bridge over the mouth of the Scott River was entirely washed away. The entire Klamath River High way suffered from washouts on the side along the river which in some cases took out the entire roadbed. Damage extended throughout the whole road but the lower portion of the highway, suffered the worst. Trinity County had $134,200 in emergency repairs and $.725,100 for reconstruction. Tne flooa damaged the two miles of highway lmmedl- teiy above Douglas City where the Trinity River adjoins the highway location. A section of the highway protect ed by heavy concrete rip-rap was washed out in Its entirety and 170 feet of the Douglas City Bridge was detroyed. Beyond Junction City, damage was more or less continuous. More ater came down the river than could be contained In its channel, the result being that the outer edge 01 tne highway was badly washed out and in some cases the entire roadbed was gone. Snasta County and Tehama Coun ty, largely due to the protection af forded by Shasta Dam. received only nominal damages. Shasta County's $14,600 emergency repair costs and $6,500 reconstruction costs were for damages In the Sacramen to Canyon above Shasta Dam. Te hama County's $7,725 emergency repair costs and $19,260 for recon struction were Incurred on the high- ay west of Red Bluff toward Peanut and scattered along the Red Bluff-Susanvllle highway. Modoc County received the least damages In the district. $1,600 for emergency repairs and $1,907 for reconstruction will apparently take care of the results of the flood. Lassen County will require $21.- 500 for emergency repair work and 2.450 for reconstruction. Practi cally all of the damage Is located between Susanvllle and Hallelujah Junction on the road to Reno. A great deal of the repairs was for damage to the Long Valley Creek structures. Plumas County was heavily dam- ged. Emergency repairs will cost ,245 and reconstruction $464.- 535. The damage In this county as largely confined to the Feath er River Canyon although some damage occurred along Indian Creek between Greenville and the Feather River.

WUASSA IDE4 MV DESK OVtK THE CORNER? WHO'S BEEN MY FILES f The Feather River, as the Trini ty River, carried more water than could be contained within the channel. The result was that the adjoining highway had the should ers washed out In a great many places. Some of the washouts ex tended clear across the highway. The heavy emergency cost for damages was occasioned by the fact that some slides and slipouts occurred along the highway so that heavy expenditures are required to reestablished the road to be usable by traffic. Trask says that emergency re pairs are under way in all coun ties In the district. In fact, equip ment for reconstruction was being lined up for future use even during the height of the storm. The department itself does not have any quantity of heavy recon struction equipment because it places dependence on the contrac tors for heavy construction. Ac cordingly, the department has is sued contracts to some organiza tions at certain locations and has hired a great deal of equipment where it is needed. All roads are now open to traf fic with the exception of the Feath er River highway which Is still blocked by slides. For heavy reconstruction. Trask says plans will be prepared for the reconstruction and contracts will be called for as soon as the plans can be prepared. Trask pays a high compliment to the Mainten ance Department of the Division of Highways, to the contractors, and to private lndlv1 who have cooperated so effectively to the end that the State highways have been opened to traffic.

At a recent meeting of the Klamath Art As sociation it was decided to open the Klamath Art Center one night a week for the purpose of having amateur painters gather and paint together for their own enjoyment. There will be no instructors at the workshops but a great deal can be learned by watching the work of others. There will be no re quirements and each person is in vited to paint or draw whatever they wish. The art association will have a supply of still-life material and later if there is a demand we will have life models. At least two members of the art association will be at each session to help get set up. The workshops are to be held at the Klamath Art Center at the Junction of South Sixth Street and East Main, every Thursday evening starting this week. The Art Center will be open from 7 to 9:30 p.m. A token fee of 25 cents will be charged to help cov er the cost of lights and heat. Put on your painting clothes, grab your paints and come to the Art Center this Thursday to open the Klamath Art Association Painting Workshops.

As a result of the broadcasts, the Reds were forced to dismiss four of Swiatlo's former chiefs and reorganize the ministry. This is just a single example of the influence of Radio Free Europe's words of truth. Up to 20 hours of truth a day are broadcast to five key satellite countries Poland, Czechoslo vakia, Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary. And this truth it get ting through, despite costly Red jamming attempts. Millions take the risk daily to listen.
