Abraham Lincoln. The Honeymoon Is Over! Our Champion Klamath Is Bear to Governors Heart THE KLAMATH DAILY NEWS X Klamath Adventures Governor Pierce is always ready to come to the rescue of Klamath, and promptly. It took him months to decide to fire Warden Dalrymple. It took him months to advise a grand jury investigation of the anti-Japanese riots at Newport. But it only takes him a few days to get interested in Klamath's troubles bless his jolly old heart for that. Purely as political medicine it might be well for Governor Pierce to have a thorough investigation of Klamath's internal affairs. He might lose a few votes by so doing, but he would regain many times over. Those lost he would be better off without. When the brutal facts are heralded state - wide that Klamath county excels in the moon shine industry that alone should entice Gov ernor Pierce. , There is much more than the alleged slug ging and inhuman treatment of a city prisoner to interest him. When lawbreaking comes to such a pass that good citizens throw up their hands in des pair, and decency is a mere future hope well the governor might take a hand. , , r- It is believed that were it possible to place e facts of vice conditions and official rapac jcy before a grand jury that Klamath Falta would have a house cleaning overnight. Unfortunately it is felt that a very modern word may have to be written after the above. That is, Blah! Klamath Falls depends on Mayor Goddard nd his crew to handle its affairs making for civic righteousness. Older Versus Younger Age Old Problem; Confront Indians Always are younger folk held in check by the old folk. , Maybe it is a safe bet that the old men of the Beatty district Indians awakened many times beside the ashes of a dead campfire in the cold gray dawn of the morning after heads bursting and eyes bleary capable only of staggering to the creek in an instinctive search for water into which to plunge their heads. These old men are now concerned with morals of the flapper Indians, "list i? life. i'o the old Indians it might be said that all humans who have survived the riotous days of youth arrive at the same stage of discretion. There may be ample reason for genuine concern among the older Indian's as to where the young folks are to land but there al ways is. Ind ians or whites, it makes no difference. Experience has taught the futility of youthful Madness. Experience offers precept and ex nmple out of its store of lore. But youth will accept no substitutes. , I Ml m 1 M m M v v -.

The ranch and stock business enticed Steele. In twenty years of hard Work lis had become pros perous. He ranged rati I on Pyra mid Lake In partnership with Hick Fuion. Along about "II h got the Idea that the ransn was be. coining over-crowded, and he set out to look for more, The Klamath country looked good to him. Ilut he did not ap prove of the methods then follow ed by the stockmen. They made little or no winter provision for feeding range rattle. Home lule hay was rut, enough for stork bout the ranches. Steele pre dicted dlrs disaster would over take the Klamath stockmen dur ing hard winter. He believed that alfalfa should be grown dur ing the summer months. Alfalfa required water. ! I Steele's plans met with opposl- lion Irani the outset. . In '71 number of rltliens hsd Incorporat ed the l.lnkvllln Ditch' company, and dug a small ditch heading In Link river about ln miles above the town. This ditch had a ra pacity of forty miners Inches. Tlia water it carried was used lo grow vegetables on town lota. Steele took over this ditch. He gavn each member of the old company a certificate or one miner's Inch of water, amounting In all to forty Inches, for the prlv llego of enlarging the old dltehr Then he set about the work of en larging and extending the baby , project Klamath's first. It was hero opposition manifested, and In several Instanrea condemnation proceedings were used lo get through property of Irate ranch ers. Steele begun the work In 'H. The winter was a very mild one. and only half a dny's work was loft because of snow. The ditch was extended for fifteen miles Into the Klamath valley. Farm era who believed they were sure to be ruined by water moved out of ths valley Into the foothills. The work eol Steele close to 120.00(1, a fortune In those days. The Steele ditch wound south easterly along the fool hilts for eight miles to a point where It divided Into two branches, the main branch running southward for seven miles along a natural dlvldo between Klamath and Lost rivers, controlling some of the best lands In Klamath valley.
