' OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF KLAMATH FALLS' "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let its to the end dare to do our duty as vx understand it"Abraliam Lincoln AEROPLANES MAKE WORLD SMALLER Sixty years ago the team railroad and the steam propelled ship were in th. ir inf -ncy. All forward-looking people thought the vol ;d & transportation was em bodied in the developm;;t of these marvelous and "last wcrd" methods of tr?n?j)ort".'.''on. Twenty years ago came the a 'fomobile and the launch, which were to supercede the ! orse and the sail boat. Immediately after this tame the V.'right brothers' inver-tior., the concjue.-t of the air. Today further de velopment of railroad t'-an ",..1 tr.'ion depends upon th3 answer cf the banker a?- to whether it will be a paying proposition or whether it will not pay. In detail the rail roads of the country are being perfectsd. Heavier rails, better locomotive.-?, improved equipment, increased capac ity; but the standardization of the width of the track, the size of tunnels and th3 enormous equipment now in service prohibit any radical change in the railroads of today. As sixty years ago saw the infancy of a transporta tion problem, so again today we are witnessing the infancy of the greatest transportation developmant in history. The air routes of today take no consideration of climate, mountains or oceans. A squadron of airplanes has flown around the world Alcock hopped off one morning from Newfoundland and arrived in Ireland that night; Lieu tenant Kelly flew in one day from New York to San Diego in a non-stop flight; within the month an Englishman, and the head of commercial flying in England, flew from London to India, returned to London with the machine in perfect condition, and without having had any re pairs enroute. Now comes news of the building of a 5,000,000 cubic feet dirigible which will fly 24,000 miles without refuel ing. This means that this ship can fly around the world, returning to its point of departure, without touching mother earth. This statement is startling, not because of what this ship will do, but because of w hat it can do. Ifc means that transatlantic flights and transpacific flights and flights to the Orient will be every-day occurrences with the present generation. The heavier-than-air machines, with a present radius of 3,000 miles, the dirigible with a radius of 24,000 miles, mean large factors of safety for commercial flying. They mean that the world is getting smaller and smaller each day for practical purposes, and that those who are today far away will be our neighbors of tomorrow. Beyond this are yet to come many wonders that the present generation will live to see. Each day opens the dawn of a new era. TRIBAL TRIAL MEANS MORE (San Francisco Chronicle) When a white man is acquitted by a jury of his peers he is safe from further jeopardy on the same charge, even though he proclaim his own guilt at the very doors of the court. But with Chester Pepper, Klamath Indian, the case is different. Chester, accused of killing another Klamath Indian, went before a jury of white men. The trial was a mere incident in Chester's career, because beyond this trial was the ordeal of public opinion the verdict of Chester's own kind. Acquitted by the white man's jury in Yreka. Chester immediately surrendered to his tribe for trial in the coun cil of the Klamaths. The decision of the council is a bigger affair to Chester than the white man's verdict. If the council says "Go. and sin no more," Chester will try to do that thing" if the council decides that Chester must be punished' Chester himself will execute the decree if there be no other way of accomplishing it. This Klamath Indian must bow to public opinion, and to him public opinion is what the other Klamath Indians think. This is the tribesman's whole world. lie can no more escape the will of the tribe than a white man can take refuge on some distant star.

Well, that mnrnin' I told a nigger mammy that some day I'd have one o my own children sprinkled in style, at that very church. I wasn't much of a fortune teller that time." "Poor Admah!" she whispered. "Queer." he droned, "how life seems to take you around with It. . . . I'p with it, down with it. . . . but you can t leave go." "(iotama Buddha thought of that, too." "Who was he?" "A Christian," said Margaret, "but a very early one." "Just look at me and Jo," ho went on. "Jo's got nothing but children No brains, no ambition, liut he's got four children, and the oldest is going to college." "Wno's paying his way? asked Margaret. "That ain't the point. iVhat I'm thinking Is, Jo hasn't made much of himself, but he's got a boy he's mighty proud of. And 1 II never hav As ff to give scientific verification to this broken sentence Calvin announced Dr. Furniss. Young Dr. Furnlss was a brisk, neat, well-conditioned man of fifty. "Oood evenin'. Miss Margaret," he began briskly. "And how are you, Mr. Holtz? What weather for June!' Ciood rain for the farmers." agreed Admah. It was as though they had met by appointment to discuss the weather. "She hasn't waked since you left, said Margaret. "Oh yes. She'll bo drowsy for while," Dr. Furniss announced pleas antly, .nay i go ngnt up?

"Only one thing " Ho paused for a choice of expression, then mado a poor show of his humorous bedsido manner as he said, "You know the sign that's up in the modern apartment house? No children admitted." "You mean?" The doctor was merely saying what Admah had sus pect "d. "I'm afraid that's the case, my dear Mr. Holtz." he smiled, then gave linn a brisk professional handshake. "Now go to bed and have a decent night's sleep." Can't I see her? Oh. certainly. Make It brief. though, won't you" Admah tiptoed in toward the swan- hed whose pillars looked blark a.selH,ny in tho dim light. Ho Btood peering down, then from the pillows and cover lids camo tho familiar drawl, "Hello, old dear!" My sweet!" ho whispered and sank on his kneos. 'Don't be so tragic. Mr. Gump1" she challenged, putting out a hot little hand to rumple his thick hair. Sho turned uneasily and groaned, then said in the same natural, bantering key, "I liet it'll lie quiet at tho Sycamoro tonight.

" Ynn love me frightfully, don't you?" her littlo vulce was singing In his car. "You know I do." "Then what wero you doing away from your ofllro when I was sick and wanted my old Gump?" "I'll bet you can't guess," lie chuckled, brightening. "Remembering something?" "It's the fifth of June," he said. "What did you get me?" She re leased the arm that had been amilnrl his neck and searched his pocket for the do, wnicn mado a heavy bulge In his right sido. i a open It. he offered, and after several awkward grnpings at the catch lifted tho velvet lid and revealed his surprise. A circle of light, shooting iioiu a tnousana prisms, It glowod before her eyos. "You've gone and got that bracelet from Cummins'!" she cried, and snatched tho treasure greedily In both hands. "Admah.
