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.

Dear Mrs. Thumpson: Twelve I
years ago my hur.band fnt in:
trouble with a youm ulrl. Kor i
the sake of my tour children I
stayed with him, trusting that ho
would bo as good In the future as
he was before that. Hut my life
has been mfseraMe ever sinre. I
left my home and all my frlcmU
for him, which I hare been sorry
for ever since for ho nevor appre
ciated any how. Serins as though
ho would liko to be limse and
claim everything and mo nothing.
I know one soman he I3 fond of
for I have seen tliinfu with my
own eyes. Now Mrs. Thompson. I
always have been a respectable
woman, considered a good house
keeper and managor. I don't get
out any. I would like to go to
church but when I speak -of
clothes he says I don't need any
better clothes for church than for
every dny. Then I try to reason
with hltn but ho has such a tem
per that I can do nothing but wor
ry and that Is killing me for I nm
a nervous wreck. If you can please
advise me. WOKMKI) WIKK.
You have stood enough from
your husband. Insist that he pro
vide you with enough money to
buy the clothing you need. I.et
him show his temper. He evident
ly hag learned that by being tem
peramental he can get tho host of
you. Anything Is better than be
ing worried to deaht, so have It
out with him. I lake It your chil
dren are along In years now. and
If your husband hIiows no Inclina
tion to mend his ways, then do
not besltnto to leave Ii I tit and seek
a divorce. You liuvo already 'one
your duty by your children, n
Maying with 111 in thoso twelve
years. Now do something to In
suro your own futuro happiness.

I1I10WN EYKS: I don't blame
you for not wanting to go homo

as Trurkee Meadows; In fact It
wasn't anything. Them was no
railroad when Steele arrived III
'CI.
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. !

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. The
east branch continued townrd
Oleno for a ahort distance. It
put a ho ut 4.000 acres under wa
