11 Indians
Seek To Save
Cabin Sites
LOWER LAKE. Calif. (UPI) -Eleven
Indians went to court to
day to do battle for seven acres of
land with a mouse-eaten legal
paper.
The Indians, led by tribal Chief
Clifford Salvador, 87, are seeking
to save their Cache Creek cabin
sites and family burial ground
from the inroads of a report de
velopment which has already en
circled the area in Northern Cali
fornia. The resort developer, Paul Lew
is, tore down the Indians two
flimsy cabins Saturday. The In
dians filed charges of trespass and
breach or peace, which Lewis must
answer in Municipal Court today.
"I bought the land last August,"
Lewis said. "How can I trespass
on my own property?" He said
he had offered the Indians $300 to
leave but "they turned it down."
Salvador, speaking for a rela
tive, John Smith, Smith's children
and grandchildren, and another
family of five, said their family
has occupied the land for 130
years.
They rebuilt the floors of their
flimsy homes Sunday and erected
makeshift tepees over them. Sal
vador said the walls and roofs will
be replaced today.
Sympathetic townspeople en
gaged attorney Bruce Bruchler to
represent the Indians. He said he
has proof that Salvador's father
and grandfather lived and died on
the property.
"I have half a letter written by
John C. Terrell, inspector of the
Indian Service, in 1917, saying the
claims of the white homesteaders
are illegal," Bruchler said. He
said the other half of the letter
was eaten by a mouse."

It Pays to Own a Dodge!
( It could save you hundreds of dollars!)
Okay, It's settled. You've thought about it and
talked about it and now you've decided: A new
car and soon. Now for the jackpot question.
Which '59 car will it be?
Unless you happen to be a Mr. Gotrocks, you'll
probably think pretty carefully before you finally
make the move. You'll do more shopping and
compare more closely. And you'll ask yourself
some basic questions. How much will a new ear
rout vie to buy? Wow mura n il! it cost me to drive?
Whal do I get for my money?
There Is no mystery about new car prices
Until this year, it was hard to compare different
makes of ears to find which offered the most
value for the money. It was like comparing apples
and bananas. But not any more. Not since all new
cars are required to carry price labels. Now, for
the first time, you can compare various makes
and models and see exactly what you're getting
for your money. It's like exposing the hole cards
in game of stud poker: You know exactly
where you stand.
Why should you buy a Dodger
No one has to tetl you that there are a number of
ears on the market that sell for less than a Dodge.
No cigar on that count. You Vnow it and we know
it. But there are things you get in a Dodge that
you simply ean'l yet in these other smaller cars.
And this is important. Dedge gives you all of
these things the bigness and roominess, the
comfort and ride, the luxury and prestige for
lea than other airs in it field,
DELEGATES NAMED
ALTURAS Mrs. John Wentzel
and Mrs. Vernon King have been
elected as delegates of the Al
turas Elementary PTA to attend
the annual state convention of the
California Congress In Los Angeles
on May (. 7 and I. Mrs. Marion
Fisher, president of the Modoc
Council, who lives in Alturas will
also attend.
BETTER BY
lliilllB..H. iZ
It's not just a few dollars less, either; in many
cases it's literally hundred! of dollars less. Some
Dodge models are even priced lower than the so
called "low-prieed cars." (We'll be happy to show
you the actual suggested retail prices.)
All cars cost money to run -but how much?
It would be nice if you just bought a new car and
that was that. It didn't burn gas. Didn't use oil.
Never needed service. But that's wishful thinking.
Cars do use gas and oil. They do need service
occasionally. But that doesn't mean that all cars
cost the tame to drive and maintain. Not by a
jugful. There's a big difference.
Dodge Is designed to run for less
. Dodge has. always had a reputation for economi
cal operation. People who have owned them have
found it costs less to run a Dodge, and that a
Dodge needs service lest often.
Take gasoline economy. The new Dodge 3:26 cu,
in. Red Ram V-8 engine, because of ita design and
efficiency, will take you miles farther on a gallon
of gas than any other V-8 in the 'Dodge field. You
save money every mile you drive.
But that's only part of the story. The way Dodge
is engineered and built saves you money on such
things as engine wear, brake relining, tune-ups,
spark plug replacement. When you add them all
up, they represent quite a saving. Another reason
why it pays to own a Dodge.
What do you gel for what you pay?
According to Manufacturer's Suggested Retail
Prices, Dodge generally costs less, model for
model, than other cars in its field. Fine and
dandy. But while price is important, it isn't the
only consideration. The real standard of value
whether you're buying a new car or a can of
Ha brand new ca
beans is what you get for what you pay. It's the
"extras" you get at no extra cost that really
determine which car is the best buy.
Dodge gives you more for less
Talk is cheap. Anyone can make claims. So let'a
be specific about the extras you get in Dodge at
no extra cost Torsion-Aire Ride conceded the
finest suspension in the industry standard equip
ment on all Dodge models. Total-Contact Brakes,
Safety-Rim Wheels, Electric Windshield Wipers,
Independent Parking Brake all standard on
Dodge. Of course, you can also choose from such
Dodge options aa Push-Button Driving, Full
Time Power Steering and Swing-Out Swivel Seats.
There's a big difference In comfort, too
Goodness knows, we certainly don't want to
knock competition. But we feel obligated to point
out the comfort and convenience of the '69
Dodge. If you've tried getting into some of the
other '59 cars you know just what we mean.
To say it is difficult would honestly be an under
statement. That's why we hope you'll come in and
compare the difference in Dodge. How much
easier it is to get in and out of a Dodge. How much
more comfortable it is to sit in a Dodge. How
much more room you have to stretch out. Really,
