Editor Alters u second clae matter at th poet office t Klamath Falls, Or., oa August JO, IK, undtr set tt Congress, March t, U7 S Est VICES: ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED PRESS , AUDIT BUREAU OP CIRCULATIONS Swring Southern Oregon And Northern California SUBSCRIPTION RATES CARRIER 1 MONTH . t l.M MONTHS t .0O 1 YEAR , $11.00 MAIL 1 MONTH t l.M MONTHS l.M 1 YEAR 112.00 Water Outlook By BILL JENKINS There art all kinds of westher theories, most of them like medical theories: If you shop around long enough you'll find one to fit your own case and ll.ing, This winter's lone wet period can be explained as either the start of a wet cycle, due to sun spots. normal Instance of profession of the cyclonio theory or as being the upsnoi oi too mu e n niggenng around with atomic and hydrogen bombs. It might also be explained as just a wet and miserable winter, But, however you explain It there are still certain results. Everything is ail wet. Economists and agricultural ex pens are all twittered up over the picture, foreseeing a good deal of water, plenty of irrigation po tential, the raising of dangerously low water tables and the replenish' lng of Western wstersheds with Hie giving moisture. The dry land farmers are hoping that the moisture stays In the soil and gives them s good crop year. Cattlemen are looking forward to a good grass yesr. These aspects have all beer, dealt with heavily and pontiflcally If not learnedly, so I'd like to toss a couple of cents worth of asides. The wet year will result In other things besides better crops and ranges. It will mean that- the pines oi eastern uregon win stop turn ing brown and dumping needles II to the dozen. It should mean that fishermen will find favorite creeks with enough water In them to keep nan alive. Last year fish were get ting irecicieg on uieir backs from too much aun. It will mean, If it keeps up knd the moisture managea to survive the suns of summer, that the ante lope will be scattered from here to there over the desert next sum mer and Uie Hart Mountain Herd will have to scatter far and wide if they are to contact their desert brothers. In a wet year when all the pot holes are full and every spring is flowing the antelop hang out on the far rims. On dry years the men making the trek can find multitudes of them right close to camp. It will mean that the High Desert areas will really put out a pageant of color In the spring. It will mean later opening of the forest roads for keneral travel. but mora pleasant traveling when they are opened. It will also mean that you'll have to mow your lawn twice as olten as last year, that the bugs will probably move In en your trees earlier and in greater numbers and that flowers will bloom readily. If any of these predictions prove false I can always use the excuse that they were made 'way back run for the aenate but he has stated definitely that be will not run for the house again. That leaves his position in the house wine open. Henry Semon, the grand old man of the Oregon legislature, has not mace a statement on his Inten Hons. Hank, who has ably served bis county and atate for more than two decades, has made noises In recent years that he's earned a retirement, and then has run again. Whether he runs or not, both representative positions will be filled by the voters. Klamath has had the very best representation in recent years and it will take at least one good new man to keep it on this high plane. bo lar no candidates have ap peared. The only names we've beard mentioned are those of Scott Warren and R. P. Elllngson. War ren Is an Algoma rancher, is father" of the Oregon Potato Commission, and presently is chairman of the KUHS board. El llngson la a highly respected Klam ath lumberman and has served on me county budget committee. Jerry Rainus. nresent Klamath iouniy commissioner, has an nounced that he will run for county judge. Rajnus IS in the position of playing both ends against the mid dle, or rather of playing the mid- uie against ootn ends. His term as Commissioner does not enlre mis lime. II elected countv ludee. he and a new commissioner would PPOlnt his successor- if defeated. he still would continue as commissioner. County Judge U. E. Reeder and Commissioner Ed Oowen, both of whose terms expire, have neither expressed their Intentions of run ning again or not. No other can didates have declared. The only names we have heard mentioned for the county court are those of Charlie Mack and Bryant Williams. Both art young men In the prime of life who have grown up in me county. Meeg served as countv assessor and made t fine record In reora-an. itlng the assessor's office and put ting it on modem, business-like basis. He operates a flower shop and has served on the county board of tax equalisation. Williams is a sprint Lake farm. er. He has had business experience oh aiave aeparimeni or agricul ture experlenoe. He has been a work-horse in many farm organisa tions and is a member of the County fair board. Trie third plan would call for utilization by the Owens Street treatment plant temporarily of the inilow from Uie new Interceptor trunk line with the termination of the line there. An extension of this plsn would be for the line to be built down the railroad tracks to a point across from the present treatment plant site and under the river to the plant. This plan would call for the eventual building of a new plant on the site ot the present plant. The city now owns the land around uie plant. At present no estimates are available on the comparative costs of these projects. The city's engi neering office and the council and mayor are studying all the tacets of the plans , In an endeavor to reach a conclusion on the most feasible answer to the city's press ing sewsge problem. some part, or an, or these prob lems msy face the city a voters at either the primary or general elections this year. It behooves every voter to give the matter some serious thought the sew age problem is one that cannot be Ignored. Indian Tales Sewag Plants By MAX WAUCHOPE One of the Plans beliur tnrll.i to alleviate the sewage problems By KEN McCLEOD Our atudents of Indian culture spend a great deal of time specu lating about the life of the early American aboriginal pioneer, since the pre-historlc man left no per sonal written history the story of his life must be told from the evi dence obtained from the things he ien oenind him. Indian stories of the historic ne. riod are numerous since from the very first contact of the white man with the new continent of America the outstanding features of the new frontier was the Indian, who, like the white man he came In contact vjlth was also an individualist; at times -rugged" enough to suit the most aggressive. Tlie frontiersman rarely had the Indian out of his mind and as a consequence a tremendous litera ture has grown up abeut the asso ciations of these, two races of rugged individualists. This litera ture becomes a challenge to any student who seeks to know the truth for he must winnow the truth from bushels of fiction. It was Inevitable that acts of violence would dominate the his tory of the frontier because they provide the dramatic episodes of not only the adjustment of the In dian to the white, but also the adjustment of the white man to the environment. Because of these dramatic stories of historical adjustment, colored by ucuon oi inaian and frontier life, there is little question why a vast Banks Report Debit Increase UNIVERSITY Or (IRtWS.

It would be a comforting feeling to knew that another hundred or more acre feet of water was being saved for eventual use during the hot weather. That lite giving mois ture was being stored un there in the high meadows and the hills against the day when it wis needed. Back before the country was settled up the beavers did a pretty fair Job of damming the small creeks. It stands to reason that mankind should be able t do a better Job If he'd try. Back not toe leng ago we had a few things to say about our weather up here being about as good as you'll find anywhere. This brought scathing rebuttals from several Easy Valley editors as well as those In the metropolitan areas to the north of here. After looking ever the weather picture as reported In the papers for Portland, the Willamette and Rogue valleys I'm Inclined to say once again that you'll go a long way to find a better climate than we have here.

More often than not, in real life away from fiction book and flick. erlng scrern, Indians and whites were in friendly contact, exchang ing goods, information and know ledge of woodcraft, and were oc casional guests in each other's homes. Now and then an Indian was nf. fended by a while man, oilen Just ly enough, settled accounts in th. code of aboriginal Justice; "mur dered by Indians" was the white man's verdict yet by trial by Jury the white man enforces a code and removes from circulation those who offend not "murder" but the execution of "justice." Perhaps more often a white man murdered an Indian, such sction now and then resulted in retalia tion by mob action, a band of' In dians burning a house or two. shooting livestock, murdering the adults and carrying off the chili dren. Again, a mob of whites would murder an Indian family or two. perpetrating atrocities in the hope that they would prove a deterrent to further aggressive action. Fre mont's attack upon an innocent In dian village on the Williamson was a typical example of this nature. Many Indians were ambitious to collect scalps but usually preferred the scalps of Indians, the residents ol villages that had offended him. Vet occasionally they sought a white scalp. Such incidents, how ever, were incidental to the every day life of both Indian and white; most of the time each was busy seeking food, providing shelter, clothing and other necessities.
