UPHOLDS EXCHANGE
OF THE INDIAN LANDS
Klamath Indian Agent Wilson
Says tho Exchange Was
q Fair One.

H. 9. Wilson, superintendent and
special disbursing agent at Klamath
Agency, is out with = statement in
defense of the much talked of ex.
change of lands of the Oregon Central
Road Grant with the Klamath In
dians. Says Mr.. Wilson:
"The exchange was considered the
best possible for both paries con-
oerned-the Klamath Indians and
the Road Company. 1t would have
been a pronounced hardship on the
Indians to have been compelled to
give up the lands embraced within the
road Grant upon which they have
taken sllotments and would have
caused untold trouble, while on the
other hand the Road Grant Company
could handle compact body Of 81, 900
acres to much better advantage than
they could the larger acreage in the
check erbosrd fashion in which it lay.
81 am certain that the Interior De-
partment and especially the Commits
sioner Of Indian Affairs, Hon. Francis
Luepp. considered that the exchange
was for the best interests Of the In
dians, and 1t was solely for the bene.
iit Of the Indians that the commits
si oner was concerned.
"when Commiss Toner Luepp visited
the klamath Agency in June, 1905. it
was not for the purpose Of making
any arrangements whatever concern
ing the exchange Of land. but his
visit WAS at my urgent request and
for the purpose Of soquainting him

its situation. condition and needs.
II feel that In the publication fol-
lowing the negotiations and legisla-
tion for this exchange Of land Francis
E. Luepp. Commissioned Of Indian
Affairs, has been unjustly criticised.
I know him to be man who hates
graft in all its forms and / personally
know that he has done all in his
power for the benefit of the Klamath
Indians.
There never was any request
made by the Indians for cruise of
their lands and the amount Of allotted
acres was more than 81. 900 acres in
stead Of 10, 600 as has been stated in
previous publications. 1t is also
stated that clear gain for some
one Of more than $4,000. 600 has been
made by the transaction. We all kno W

do not claim to know what the value
of the 81, 900 acres of land is but il
the timber in this tract is increasing
at 30 rapid rate as has been init

The Angels took the first game of the

anything but straight line of nine

Pernoll was easy game and the locals
mauled him all over the field, while he
made very wild pitch that proved cost

visitors and McCredie sat on the bench
while Donahue took the captains place
in right field.
Burns twirled fast ball for the Angels

ATHLETES OBTAIN
CONTROL SOUGHT
Regents of University Abolish Athletic
Board and VIII Select New
Body to Govern College
Events

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Oct. 29.-The
struggle that began fully ten years ago
between the University of Michigan board
of regents and the faculty reached an
acute stage yesterday when the regents
abolished the present athletic board of
control and constituted new one. The
new arrangement gives the athletic party
control. and Michigan will now in all
probability be fully as lively in athletics
| as the eastern schools. The breach with
the western conference of universities
undoubtedly will be widened next fall,
with probably the training table revived
and long schedule of games, with pos
sibly preliminary season of training be-
means that Michigan will turn out more
completely for the track meets and foot
ball and baseball.
The professors planned to bring Michi-
gan back into the western conference in
| December, even If 1t caused wholesale
expuIsiors of students. AS a sop to the
regents 1t was proposed to make Trainer
Keene Fitzpatrick an honorary member
of the board of control without a vote.
This last move enraged the regents and

FARMER AND TURK IN
BLOODY TEN-RoUND MILL

Abdul the Turko took fine young
beating from Kid Farmer in the second
preliminary which went ten abbatoir
rounds to a decision for the Kid. At
the end the Abominable One objected
to Tommy Walshs decision, and made
near pass at the referee. Tommy
motioned back, and the Little Lord
jumped in and stopped the show just
when it was getting good.
The fight was about as vicious as
has ever been seen in the Maud juno
tion pavilion, and Farmer showed all
kinds of gameness in coming back af-
ter being badly battered. In the third
round the Turk started something
when he shot his elbow up against the
Kids nose, tearing it open and break
ing the bone This set Farmer going,
and from then on he was a regular
whirlwind
The Turk seemed to like the gaff, for
he went to it in the fourth round and
had all the better of it, But this was
his last chance, for from then on there
was nothing to it but the Kid, who
capped the climax by making a fast

Ia Heeping his weight down to 104
pounds, and if he goes two pounds over
that mark he is In danger of losing his
$4,000 contract with Thomas Williams
oi California Miller was compelled to
ride 2ienap at 104 pounds, two pounds
overweight, because he could not get
down to 102. And Zienap lost.
Miller's contract stipulates that he must
never weigh more than los pounds. Fig
ure that out and you will see that the
flesh of this miniature human being is
valued at $4762O a pound, but if he goes
one ounce over that his golden chance
for riches is gone. He> may still earn
income for most men, but his opportu-
nifty to be immensely wealthy in a hurry
would disappear.
On one occasion Miller has weighed a
few ounces over los pounds. Think what
each enc of those ounces meant to him.

Walter Miller could toss away par
ticle of his fat that size it would mean
thousands of dollars in his pockets. If
he ga,ns a pound of flesh and reaches
the LOG mark that extra pound of flesh
means a loss of $4,000. One ounce is
worth $3125.
1t must be borne in mind however,
that Miller Is not going to give up this
fight against flesh without a struggle.
He has now reached the age when ma
ture calls upon him to grow, and unless
lie puts up fight against nature an
other element figures which may prevent
him from being worth $4,000 and that
might also break the contract.

The animal was the property of e. E..
Angst, a landscape gardner of 334 Six

Santa Monica pound nine years ago. The
dog, then a weak, emaciated animal had
been turned adrift by its owner, who be-
lieved the animal to be suffering from an
incurable disease and had been brought
to the pound at the end of a rope by a
youth who wanted a bonus for him.
Angst happened to be present when the
dog was brought in and he Immediately
saw great possibilities in the animal. The
result was that he outbid the pound
keeper and took the animal home with
him. Angst was the superintendent of
parks at the Soldiers home at Sawtelle
at the time, and the animal soon became
favorite with the veterans, who de-
voted themselves to curing his sickness.
and finally succeeded after about one
year in making the dog entirely well.
The second year that Angst owned the
animal he entered him, on the advice OF
friends in the annual bench show of the
Southern California Kennel club and was
rewarded by the dog taking a silver
medal. From then until a year ago the
dog appeared each succeeding year at the
