Morrow County Ku Klux Klan
Hold Meeting
Monday night the Morrow coun
ty Ku Klux Klan's assembled at
Lexington to hold a publicparade
and installation of officers. There
were Klan's from Condon, Pen
dleton, Heppner, lone and other
sections present, besides several
hundred spectators who journey
ed there to see the parade and
hooded members. The lodge is
known as Morrow Klan No. 33,
and received its charter from the
Imperial Wizard of Atlanta, Ga.
The parade marched from the
hall to the high school athletic
field, where a tiry cross was blaz
ing, around which the members
mrrched singing "America." In
the new gymnasium of the high
school the services of the evening
were conducted. Ninety-eight
persons were in the parade and
some half-dozen women, several
marchers being unmasked. The
audience at the lecture is placed
at 500, and was delivered by Rev.
Cookineham, a Presbyterian min
ister of Pendleton, and was given
close attention. Then followed
th initation of 14 candidates and
the installation of officers, four
of the head officers being lone
people including th? Cyclops.
It was an orderly and peaceable
gathering and the lecture and
other ceremonies were generally
well received. Practically the
entire bunch of lone Klans were
recognized those who showed
their faces were generally com
mended. Lexington is now on
the map with Morrow Klan No.
33, as its beacon light.
Grandma Bleakman who died
at Hardman last week at the age
of 81 years, is said to have been

Holding Their Own
The high school boys broke
even on their basketball trip last
Friday and Saturday, winning
from Moro Friday night and los
ing to Wasco Saturday. The score
at Moro was 18 to 17; Wasco 17
to 33. In both games the boys
were slow in getting started and
owing to the different style of
play used and the strange floors,
but when they did get Btarted
their opponents founJ they had
all or a little more than they could
handle. The lone team as a whole
proved to be in much better con
dition than either of the other
two teams, and the longer the
game lasted the more efficient
it became. lone plavs Arlington

Practically all the money the railroads take in is im

leaving 15 cents for stockholders. Adding 6 9 cents of
income from outside sources, net corporate income was
8.4 cents, of which 4.9 cents was paid in dividends,
leaving 3.5 cents available for appropriations and surplus.
Gross earnings of the railroads in 1922 was $1,567,
000,000 more than in 1917. This $1,507.000. (WO and
more too, was immediately paid out again, as follows:

500, " " additional for materials and supplies largely
representing wages
The stockholders and bondholders of the railroads got
none of the increase.
It is significant that good times are always coincident
with heavy buying on the part of the railroads and that
bad times are periods of light railway purchases.
The Union Pacific System is one of the most impor
tant enterprises west of the Missouri River. Its nearly
50,000 employes, and their families, constitute a buying
power which is the main reliance of many businesses.
The purchases of the Union Pacific System from firms
'ocated on the System, or which have offices on our
lines, aggregate millions of dollars each month.
The railways are planning to spend hundreds of mil
lions of new money during 1924 to better serve the
public.

Animals Killed
Moro than 4000 predatory ani
mals were killed in Oregon dur
ing 1921!, of which the United
States biological survey has defi
nite record, according to a report
made last week by Stanley G.
Jewett, predatory inspector.
Of these, 3498 were coyotes,
&!() bobcats, three cougars ami
three timber wolves, the skins
of which weietent to the Port
land ollice. In addition to those
checked by the inspector 10U8
porcupines and 4'il badgers were
killed. This number is laruer
than for any previous year, but
is lower than the actual number
on account of the wide use of
poison. About 71,800 baits were
put out on ranches in eastern Or
egon. More than 7t cattle and
i .1 n I n i .1 l
isneep huh uii oiu nurses were
I donuted to be used as bait.
Altho there is no actual cam
paign against bears by the animal
division, about 20 were killed.
Bears are not regarded as preda
tory in Oregon, and are only kill
ed when known to be preying on
cattle. I'urs
