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.

Admah. It was as though they had

Admah tiptoed in toward the swan-

My sweet!" ho whispered and sank
on his kneos.

to rumple his thick hair. Sho turned

"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

snatched tho treasure greedily In both
