“You can say that I have sent my
resignation as superintendent of the
Klamath Reservation to the Indian
bureau, and that it has been accepted.
This becomes effective upon the ar
rival of my successor,” said Indian
Agent Edson Watson over the long
distance telephone this morning, in
answer to inquiries,
Watson’s resignation comes on the
heels of persistent rumors that he was
slated for removal since early in the
spring, and have attracted no little
interest;
Regarding the matter, Watson was
reticent. He stated that he had asked
for a full investigation into his ad
ministration, aild his~ friends state
that tie is resigning rather than cause
any friction, but is determined to
have his acts fully looked into by the
department.
Watson’s friends claim that the
move is largely a political one, due
to the change of administration, and
they say that 'all over the United
States the new administration in the
bureau of Indian affairs is causing
vacancies and removals.
Early in the spring, Principal Sims
of the Indian school is alleged to
have given some Indian youths severe
beatings, and this aroused the ire of
the Indians. When Sims wired his
resignation in, the Indians also wired
to Washington, asking the bureau not
to accept the resignation until an in
vestigation had been made.
H. G. Wilson, supervisor of Indian
reservations in Oregon, came in right
after this, and spent some time on
the reservation, making an investiga
tion. Some state that this investiga
tion was largely responsible for the
present state of affairs, as Sims was
under Watson, but Watson holds that
this is a minor matter in the case.
Although the time limit for raising
$5,000 for the Klamath Chamber of
Commerce was set at June 1st, the
committees at work on this have al
ready secured pledges to make more
than the required amount. A total
of $5,263.50 is now pledged, as fol
