KLAMATH INDIANS
AND Tilt SECRETARY
They Appreciated the Visit Of Mr.. Gar
field and Took Occasion to Let Him
Know II.

Superintendent c. w. Goodman Of
the Phoenix Indian school. who return
ed about a week ago from a trip in the
northwest. had a most enjoyable time
and saw a great many things that
were not only interesting but impress
sive. He went primarily on Indian
business and as the result of his visit
to the klamath agency he expects that
quite a party of native pupils will be
brought to the Phoenix school shortly
by the superintendent of the schools
at klamath, for the completion Of their
education.
Mr.. Goodman's visit was shortened a
little by the changing Of the itinerary
of Secretary Garfield. He met the
secretary at klamath and OF course
wanted to be at home in Phoenix when
the secretary visited Arizona. He was
apprised of the change in the secre-
tary's plans none too soon for he was
ninety-five miles from the railroad at
Lake View ore. He hurried by spe-
cial conveyance to the narrow gauge
railroad. thence to Reno. New. then to
San Francisco. where he was held up
by delayed trains. but he finally reach
ietary arrived in the valley.
The klamath tribe. says Mr.. Good
man. is one Of the most civilized OF all
the tribes on the coast and almost
every member of IL now dresses in cit
izens' clothes. Some of them talk very
good English and nearly all of them
understand the language a little. They
were very appreciative of Secretary
Garfield's visit to them. He made a
nice talk to the Indians at the agency
and many Of them, especially the
younger ones. asked questions very
freely. All of them seemed pleased at
the secretary's speech.
When the time came for the secre-
tarX to depart "A happy little surprise
party was planned for him and carried
out by the Indians. He left the agen-
cy on a launch. crossing klamath lake
TO a nearby resort and proceeding the
next day to Klamath Falls. where he
inspected the Klamath storage project.
As the secretary approached the
landing to take the launch he noticed
some 500 or 900 Indians had gathered
TO pay their respects and bid him good
bye. The native band was there and
played several pieces and as the Off
cial party neared the wharf. the uni
formed Indian police lined up in open
rank as a guard of honor. through
which he passed to the boat after
proper acknowledgements.
