Kditnr'i Note This is the first
of a two-part historical story deal
int with the activities of John
Loosley and his family, pioneers ol
the Fort Klamath are.-..
By MILS. W. K. I.OOSI.KY
When John 'Loosley, with his
good wife Lucy and his eight
children, arrived on the west bank
of Link River in 1871. he had little
no cash, but he did have a
goodly supply ol wheat, as he had
bought up irMich wheat before the
financial panic of 1870, thinking to
make a "killing, but instead had
gone broke, as has happened lo so
many speculators.
He had used wheat as collateral
lo trade for necessities on the trip
from the Willamette Valley and
now he "dickered" with the own
er of the ferry, trading wheat for
his toll across the river.
In two more days he had
reached Klamath Agency, his des
tination, where he was lo run a
rist mill for the United Slates
government. He had learned the
miller's trade in Kngland, and it
has been told that he started a
mill in Chicago in the 1840s when
Chicago was still a swampy vil
lage. He had creeled and run several
mills in the Willamette Valley,
where he had iret and married
Lucy Walling Buffin, whose first
husband had died one short year
alter her marriage, leaving her
with a baby. (When her baby was
about a year old, the infant fell
into a wash boiler of hot water and
scalded lo dealh.l
Lucy had long been troubled
with aslhma and John's health had
become much impaired, both ol
which they blamed on the damp
ness in the Willamette Valley, so
when he heard the government
wanted a man to run a grist mill
at tin- Klamath Ajcr.cy he decided
to apply lor the position.
Agency Site
The site ol the agency had been
bo.sen because of the facilities for
waler power furnished by a fine
pring which Mowed from I h e
mountainside over a reef which.
through the years, had developed

that the Indian name for thi."

imagined they heard voices of lit-

resigning. He promised that he
would not use his office "lo the
benefit or detriment of any can
didate."
Humphrey said Butler has i
duty lo be as impartial as a
judge and as cooperative as t
bishop" lo all of. Hie presidenlia
bopcluls in the arrangements he
makes for the convention.
"I have no doubt he will be
fair about the convention proceed
lugs. Humphrey said. He is a
good chairman, I am just sorry
be got himself into the position
of aiding and abetting a psycholog
ical blitz.
"That blitz is not going to suc
ceed ill Wisconsin. 1 am leeling
heller every day about my
chances there."
Humphrey promised some lire
works of his own in the May 10
West Virginia primary, where he
and Kennedy collide again in
their contest for the Democratic
presidential nomination.
Humphrey said in an interview,
however, that be will not raise
any religious issue in West Vir
ginia "because so far as I am
concerned there is no religious is
sue and there ought not lo be."
Kennedy is a Homan Catholic
and politicians have pointed to
West Virginia, a strongly Pro
testant state, as a possible test
ing ground for voter reaction to
his church affiliation. Humphrey,
a Protestant, is Kennedy's only
opponent in a popularity contest
not binding in its results on the
stale's 2.1-vote convention delega
tion. Humphrey said he thinks there
will be plenty of other issues be
tween him and Kennedy in the
primary. He said be is planning
"an intensive and persuasive"
campaign there.

A few miles north of Klamath
Agency, in the Wood River Valley,
was Ft. Klamath, established in
1803 to keep peace, not only be
tween (he Indians and whites, but
between various Indian tribes. The
Klamaths had always been a peace
loving tribe, but some of the
neighboring tribes were fierce and
warlike.
The fort was first garrisoned by
Oregon volunteers, inasmuch as
the Civil War was at its height.
But with the ending of the war,
regular troops were sent in. The
first volunteers spent (he winter
in lents, but in 18H a primitive
sawmill was built and all build
ings completed that year.
Filed Homestead
John Loosley was "taken" with
the level grassland in the Wood
Diver Valley and in 1872 filed on
a homestead on the west bank of
the crystal clear stream. John
built a large house of boards, the
first board house in the valley,
excluding those at the fort a
house of box construction. The
front part was two-story, the up
per story all in one room the
boys' room. There was a one sto
ry addition on the back for kitchen
and dining room.
The whole house was cold and
drafty. The only method of heat
ing the big front part was a fire
place. It was often said. One side
of you freezes while the other side
roasts." On cold winter nights the
counterpanes on (he beds were

from ft. Klamath lo General Can-
by, who was leading the attack
against the Modocs.
Fred told in later years of how
frightened he became when dark
ncss came on, especially when i
herd of cattle, south of the pres
ent Klamath Falls, became
alarmed and stampeded. He was
sure he was being attacked by a
band of savages. However, he con
tinued on and completed his mis
sion. It was said he was selected
for this dangerous feat by an offi
cer at the fort who bad taken a
liking to him.
"I tell you this lad would be
our best bet. The Injuns wouldn't
think of him carrying a message."
Fourth Of July
The Loosley family, as did all
families in that day, laid "great
tore" on the Fourth of July cele
brations, and the one held at old
Ft. Klamath was one to long re
member. The Indians of the reservation
had soon learned to celebrate the
independence of the I'nited States.
Once the idea was introduced to
them, they eagerly accepted the
while man's day of celebration;
and. in fact, soon became the prin
cipal attraction of the festivities
during the early pioneer days al
old Ft. Klamath.
With all their worldly posses
sions they encamped on the bank
of Wood River. near the fort. They
gave a nomadic appearance with
their wigwams, open fires and
horses. Squaws and children scur
ried about the temporary settle
ment.
The actual cclebralion was very
picturesque. The soldiers from the
fort marched, and the Indians en
tered the parade, some parching,
others riding their best horses. A
huge dinner was served in which
Ihc Indians partook. In the eve
ning thpre was moch dancing and
gaiety.
After the dancing had quieted
down, and the campfires added
light to the moon overhead, the
Indian braves sat cross - legged
around their fires, gambling far
into the night. The strange chant
that accompanied their odd type of
gambling would he the only aud
ible sound in the stillness of the
night, except when some stalwart
gave a grunt of satisfaction.
The Indians seemed crazed by
their gamhling wilh these little
slicks and would continue this
sport until they had won or lost
everything, including their fine
horses, their squaws, children, and
household goods, which often in
cluded many beautiful baskets the
squaws had brought to sell or bar
ter. An Indian often left very poor
when he had come with much.
