The Hood River News Bays: "We no longer have any fear that the Ku Klux Klan will ever be strong enough in Oregon to cause any of our law-abiding citizens to lose any sleep, for the big newspapers are now reducing this holier-than-thou secret organization to the ridiculous In the n-th degree.

AUGUST 7, 1921 IDAHO URGES BORAH HEADS FDR ECONOMY ft t .Box y SALE.M. Or.. Aug. 3. (Special.) More letters were received at the ex ecutive offices here today indicating that the heads of the various state departments and institutions are In sympathy with Governor Olcott's recent appeal that rigid economy be practiced in the conduct of the state government. "We are fully cognizant of the un settled economic conditions obtaining at the present 'time," said a letter received from W. K. Kerr, president of Oregon Agricultural college, "and want to assure you of our hearty co operation in every effort to meet the situation." P. 1 Campbell, president of the University of Oregon, wrote: "I heartily agree with you in the suggestion that the expenses of all etate institutions should be kept at a minimum during this period of gen eral financial depression. In regard to the matter of travel outside of the state, I do not expect to make any requests for authorization unless the matter is one of great emergency." Dairy and Food Commissioner Talks. C. L. Hawley, state dairy and food commissioner, said: 'I desire to express to you my very hearty approval of the contents of your letter of July J3, wherein you called my attention to the need of economy in the administration of this office, and pledge to you a strict compliance of same." "I fully appreciate that we cannot be too often reminded that every dol lar we expend, whether from direct or indirect taxation, is the hard earned money of some Oregon tax payer,' said a letter written by Percy A. Cupper, state engineer. "I as sure you the letter will have the careful consideration it merits." K. S. Tillinghast. superintendent of the state 'school for the deaf, wrote: "I wish to say that 1 have en deavored at all times and consistent ly to practice rigid economy in the conduct of the school, especially in Tecent years concentrating expendi ture along lines most directly essen tial to the realization of its funda mental purposes!" Dental Examiners Co-operate. Dr. W. -D." McMillan, secretary of the Oregon state board of dentaj ex aminers, said: "I assure you, that while the funds that are at the disposal of the board of dental examiners are not in any manner supplied from the tax rolls of the state, that the attempt is made to handle them just as economically as though they were raised in that manner. Your suggestion is timely, and will be appreciated, I know, by every citizen of the state." "We desire to acknowledge receipt of your favor of July 23 with rela tion to the subject of economies in expenditures," read a letter written by V. P. Ellis, secretary of the pub lic service commission. Winnie Braden, exhibit agent for the Oregon-state exhibit, wrote: "I assure you that you can depend upon me to do all within my power to hold down the expenses of main taining this department. No doubt the expenses of the last two months seemed great, yet considering the fact that the exhibit is now being in stalled for the two-year period, I frcl that the results will justify the expense." Asauraneea of Economy Given. George T. Cochran, state water su perintendent, wrote: "I assure you that we will carry on the work of this department as economically as possible, in order to give the greatest benefit to the peo ple of our great state for the money expended." R. A. Booth, member of the state highway commission, said: "The commission commends you for your action and expresses its entire sympathy with your ideas. Where the expenditures are as large as they are in our' department, it is probably impossible to guard the work as carefully as - if the volume were less, but we are constantly urging our engineering department to use the most rigid economy con sistent with good work. Road Work: Prices Satisfactory. "The unit prices at which the work is being carried forward appear satis factory and are less than they were a year ago. The money that is dis tributed in the state and the employ ment given by the department are so Important at this time that we have not believed it wise to slacken the work for the next few months, espe cially in view of the fact that a large percentage oi the work under con atructlon Is connecting sections of road already completed. "But very little additional work is planned for the remainder of the calendar year. We will try to use the utmost care, completing only those sections that will be of the greatest use to our own people and connecting the sections of work already finished." i X ft - - '-1 t ' - V A Y '-' .'V. t i' ' r&S x . j i- i' M i ' - L t J sv?? ?j William B. Ryan. William B. Ryan, formerly advertising manager for the Eastern Outfitting company, has resigned his position with that firm and will take up his new duties as production mana ger for the Vincent & Vincent Advertising agency, according to an announcement made yes terday. Mr. Ryan has been in the newspaper and advertising work for a number of years and has a large circle of friends in this line throughout the west. He is a graduate of the University of Oregon and a veteran of the world war, havtas served in the same squadron with Fred Vin cent, head of the agency. lzation that proposes to take unto Itself the enforcement of law and order of its own promulgation." The editorial comment of the Hood River Glacier says in part: T.he proposed penetration of the Invisible Empire into the northwest on first glance presents comic aspects. The Ku Klux Klan is likely to be laughed out of existence in the northwest. "And yet this comedy is liable any time to be turned- into tragedy Tragic events have followed the or ganization of the Ku Klux Klan In the south. The Ku Klux Klan makes an appeal to racial and religious prejudice. It Is cashing in here on the Pacific coast on prejudices aris ing from our Japanese problem. The romance of the old. original Jvu Klux Klan, which served a use ful purpose in its time in keeping in subjection the hordes of newly freed slaves of the south by working on their superstitions, appeals to many, and the resurrected order has prob ably added to . its membership through this appeal. But the time has gone when there is necessity for such an organized, mysterious body in American society. It is superflu ous and potentially dangerous be cause of the possible factional and class strife it may create." REALTORS T0 CAMP OUT 2 0 Grays Harbor Men to Take Trip to Mount Rainier. HOQUIAM. Wash., Aug. 6. (Spe cial.) From 20 to 25 realtors of Grays Harbor will make the trip to Mount Rainier for the sixth annual con vention of the Interstate Realty as soclation. They anticipate a large at tendance from the states of Wash lngton. Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and from British Columbia and Alberta, which are included. The opening ses sion is to be called August 24. Samuel Ibbitson, Hoquiam, presi dent of the county realty board and member of the logged-off lands com mittee of the larger association, is to give a report of that committee's findings at the convention. W. O. Mc Caw. Aberdeen, and Frank O. Dole, Aberdeen, are also on the speakers programme. The Tacoma realty board is han dling the arrangements, and it is understood here that government rates have been established at the hotels for those who care to put up at them, but the members are being urged to take advantage of the op portunity to camp out during their stay. HOOD HEIST KU KLUX DANGER OF IX'CITIXC RACE WARFARE IS SEEN. Citizens Express Willingness to Be come Allied With Counter Organization. HOOD RIVER. Or., Aug. 6. (Spe cial.) The Ku Klux Klan Is not wuntrd 1n Hood River. This is the expression heard dally from men in every walk of life here. Two weeks ago an organizer of the Invisible Empire came here and began seek- ing candidates, and it is reported with authenticity that citizens began allying themselves with the mysterious- order. Some persons declare they will allign themselves with a counter-klan if a Ku Klux organiza tion comes here. "I have never even had a popgun In my home." said Roy D. Smith, west side orchardist, prominent in civic affairs, who has asked local organ izations to take a stand toward ellm Inating the Invisible Empire from Hood River, "and the majority of the population of the peaceful valley is Just as weaponless as I. We have Carrier Pigeon Is Found. Frank C. Maloney of Wauna, Or., is looking for the owner of a fine carrier pigeon which came to his place last Tuesday and forgot to continue its homing flight for some reason. ; The bird has a leg band marked 18-Seattle-21, but Maloney could find no registry for carriers. Inasmuch as the bird is probably valuable, Maloney is eager to send it to its owner. BOISE. Idaho. Aug. 6 (Special.) United States Senator Borah has come into prominence during the last week within his own state, due. first, to h fr;t that his friends here are urging upon President Harding and Secretary of State Hughes that he ba named as a member of the disarm ament commission of the United States, and, second, because of the stand he has taken as outlined in a letter to James L. Barton, national chairman of the near east relief. New York, that he is not in favor of. nor will he be influenced by the propa ganda carried on by that organiza tion in his own state to vote for an appropriation from the United States treasury for the relief of tne Ar- enlans. or to send American troops to Armenia. Borak Father of DlnBrmamfBt. Friends and supporters of Senator Borah in this state believe, that in all fairness he should be among the first to be named as a member of the disarmament commission, because of the initial stand he made for; such a conference, and because it was the Borah resolution that finally passed the senate and the house as a part of the naval appropriation bill author izing the 'president to call the dis armament conference. That there is a' probability that those who opposed the Borah, reso lution in the form in which it sur vived the two houses, will endeavor to prevent Senator Borah's appoin.- men to the commission, is well Known by the friends of the senior senator in this state. Borah May Be Shunted. Ti'v assert that If it is possible tc- do -SS. Borah will be kept off the commission, but they hold this Is eminently unfair to him because he lc well qualified to sit on the com mission, being one of the best posted men in the nation to discuss witn European nations the question of dis armament. Some of his close friends inter viewed here today gave out the fol lowing statements, expressing their views on naming Senator Borah on the commission: C. C. Cavanah, political adviser in Idaho for Senator Borah Senator Borah certainly should be named a member, of the disarmament commis sion. He was the author of the movement in the senate and brought the matter to. a head. I think. that by all .means he should be appointed. Senator la Guiding; Power. Frank W. Brown, secretary to Governor Davis Senator Borah ab solutely should be made & member of the conference. He was the guid ing power In its formation and dur ing his fight against the league of nations he became the recognized leader in the United States on inter national questions. W. Im. Cuddy, warden of the state penitentiary Senator Borah should bt named a member of the commis sion because he has devoted so much time to the matter and knows just what should be done. S. E. Blaine, assistant attorney-general of the state I think Senator Borah would be the best representa tive to the meeting the United States could have. I know of no one who knows more about those problems than he does. Yes, I think he is bet ter qualified than probably anyone else in the country. If Senator Borah is not named a member of the conference there is going to be no little surprise Ik his home state and a great dal of re sentment over the failure of the administration to give recognition to the man who started the disarmanent movement and who, by friends and enemies alike, is conceded to be re sponsible for the coming conference of the powers. ARMENIA INQUIRY RAISED Senator Borah Attacks Propagan da or Near East Relief Committee. BOISE. Idaho. Aug. 6. (Special.) aenaior roran nas set rorth his po sition on the Armenian question in a letter to Chairman Barton, a copy of which was sent to one of his con stituents and friends in Boise. Be cause of the propaganda of the near east relief in this state, many letters were sent to Senator Borah from Idaho urging him to act. His letter t Barton follows In part: "I have been receiving a number of letters from my state urging me. as a senator, to do something lmmedi ately for the relief of Armenia. I have before me the letter sent out by your committee under date of June 21, which seems to be the Inspiration for these letters from home. I know, of course, from the tone of the letters from home and from the fact that they were all couched in the same language practically that they were letters inspired by some propaganda organization. "I sympathize with the Armenian FOUR ORPHAN KITTENS ADOPTED AND MOTHERED BY FOX TERRIER. s-v s i g&&4K fix Arwi ox TRADITIONAL ENEMIES WHICH HAVE ESTABLISHED FAMILY TIE. SHERIDAN Or.. Aug. 6. (Special.) A classic antipathy has been settled the age-old wrong of cat and dog has been redressed! Such writing is not the product of prophecy, but a statement verified by the actual experience of S. w. letcher, who lives one mile .east of here Fletcher owns four kittens and a 14-months-old fox terrier dog. The latter has been mothering the four orphan kittens end doing It in approved cat style! Some four months ago a tabby cat which Fletcher owned gave birth to four kittens. The mother cat died. Here a quandary arose. How were the four kittens to survive? At this juncture the puppy came to' the rescue. Forgetting the historic animosity of canine and feline, she adopted the kittens as her own offspring and nursed them. I have received hundreds of telephone calls in the last few days. These calls have inquired in every possible way the name of the tremendous opportunity I am now about to present to the people of Portland. The institution is the Multnomah Lumber & Box Company, with a capital in common stock of $1,500, 000, and a surplus of over $300,000. The Multnomah Lumber & Box Company has increased this capital to $3,000,000 by authorizing $1,500,000 in cumulative preferred stock, paying 10 per cent per annum, dividends being payable quar terly at the rate of 2y2 per cent each quarter. We are authorized at this time to offer but $1,000,000 of this $1,500,000 of preferred stock. The original investment was $54,000 in 1905. Since that time by reinvestment of earnings and by rea son of appraisal of assets, the net assets have grown to the unparalleled figure of over $1,800,000 and in addition the Company has never known a year in which it has failed to make a most satisfactory earning on its own- capital in spite of any and all business conditions. With the added capital the net assets will total over $3,000,000. Before the owners of the common stock may re ceive one dollar in dividends, the owners of pre ferred stock must receive their 10 per cent per annum. And in addition the Multnomah Lumber & Box Company offers to such preferred stockholders the opportunity to have the full voting powers on their preferred stock usually accorded only to common stockholders. Hence this preferred stock" is security unparalleled. There can be no mortgage or bond issues placed against the plants unless with the consent of 75 per cent of the preferred stockholders. In other words, the investment is both secure and safe. There is no question at all, in our opinion, that this 10 per cent can and will be paid every year. The dividends on the preferred stock are cumu lative. That means you must receive 10 per cent every year before the common stock owners of the Com pany can receive one dollar in dividends. I want you to think very carefully over this en tire matter, for I propose to offer you the oppor tunity to buy one share at a cost of $100, or as many shares as you wish at the same price per share. It is just as important to invest $100 well as to invest $10,000 well. No applications will be received and no subscrip tions recorded until the first mail on Thursday. A full application will be published in this newspaper on Wednesday, which you may sign and mail with your check. You may buy this preferred stock on . either of the following terms: 1. All cash, when your stock will begin to earn dividends immediately. 2. On a partial payment plan of $25 per share down and $15 per month, which will commence to earn dividends as soon as the stock is fully paid for. Consider this seriously; and be ready to act Wednesday. President MS ill .11 Nil SSi Preferred Stocks 1009 Wilcox Bldg.

But I would like to ask your com mittee what it desires a United States senator to do in regard to this. Are you urging that congress appropri ate large sums of money to send to Armenia in view of the present con dition of the treasury and the fact that our own people are being taxed to the point of intolerance? At a t'me when there are 500.000 men out of employment in this country men whose families are in actual want; at a time when business is sterilized, discouraged and demoralized by rea son of the ever-increasing burden of taxes. Is your committee actually engaged in propaganding the country to have congress appropriate large sume of money? If so. I desire to say to you that, so far as your cor respondence into my state is con cerned, you may withhold your ef forts and devote them In a way that will bring more fruitful results. "On the other band, are you in favor of our sending an army into that country? If so. do you know of any young men who desire to volunteer? Or. if they are not prepared to volun teer, are you in favor of congress conscripting our young men and sending them abroad? "In your letter you say: 'Act promptly with a vigorous message to your senators and congressmen, get ting as many other Influential citi zens, societies and organizations as nosslble to send similar communlca tlocs.' Similar communications to do what? Why do you not advise the people what you are aiming at to further deplete the treasury or of sending our boys abroad lor service in foreisrn countries? "If your committee would devote some of its time to urging France and the allied countries to give back to Armenia that of which she has been robbed by the allies the nat ural resources without which she will ever remain a pauper nation. It would render a much greater service to the people of Armenia and to the people of this country man it is doing oy attempting to further deplete our treasury and further tax our people in order to pour the contents into that bottomless pit." -don't deny yourself if it's Music!
