Klamath Agency
Alex Wilson, accompanied by his wife, made a trip to Klamath Falls and
back behind the iron horse. This was the first time that Alex ever rode in a
train, and he says it is the easiest trip he ever made. He has made many
tiresome drives to the Falls, but likes the locomotive route the best.

Model Indian Visits In Town, Alex Wilson, Old Timer On Reservation, Has
Always Stood High With The Indian Service Officials

Alex Wilson, one of the most respected old Indians on the Klamath
Reservation, has just returned to the reservation, after a short visit here,
during which time he purchased supplies for the winter.
"Alex has long borne the reputation of being a model Indian," said
Captain O.C. Applegate today. "In spite of his years, he has kept away from
whiskey and gambling, the Indians's worst habits, and he has never been in
any trouble.
"His brother, Hunter Wilson, was the head Indian on the reservation years
ago, and Alex always upheld his brother. As a result, he is going toward a
ripe old age with the respect of both whites and reds."
