There Is one reason why ho want ed to see Klamath country and that reason was for the purpose of seeing Crater lake and the scenic beauties here. But another reason, vastly different, is the fact that there are a number ot Indians on the Klumath reservation that Ma eon knew many years ago. "Following the Modoc Indian war, a great number of Indians from the Klamath country, was sent as prisoners of war to Quspaw Agency In the Indian territory of what Is now part of Ottuws. coun ty, Oklahoma," Mason remarked. "I became acquainted with the Indians through legal business and have always desired to visit them and the scenes of the iModoc In dian war.

(I'nlteil .News) Former I'remler 1cm enceaa's appeal to President f'o lldge regarding the French debt has not only created a sensation In fiermany but has elicited un favorable comment generally. The newspaper Tagllche Rund schau, which is close to the gov ernment, emphssfzes Clemenceau's alleged egotism.
