A telegram received by Dr. W. L. Morgan last week told of the death of his youngest brother, Edward, who was found frozen on the train between Dillingham and Kulukak in the Bristol Bay district of Alas ka. The news story appearing in the Oregon Journal Saturday fol lows: "An end to a Hoquiam school ro mance was written in the frozen wastes of the Bristol Bay district of Alaska when the body of Edward S. Morgan, federal Indian agent for the village of Kulukak, found frozen on the trail, was laid to rest in froz en ground to a funeral ritual spoken by his young widow, Abbie. There was not another white person with- in 50 miles. She telegraphed rela tives that she would remain at the post until May. as it is virtually im possible now to leave except by plans. I "Morgan had set out from Dil- lingham to Kulukak, 50 miles across the ice, where his wife assisted him in teaching school, but with his dog .earn perished in the severe storm of late January. His body was found ty natives near those of his dogs. He had left his post to assist natives in selling a large herd of reindeer. He started the long mush on Jan uary 27, ahead of the natives. "Morgan's wife, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Allen Kellogg, Ho quiam picneers, went through Ho- "Vlam schools with him, and later attended Ellensburg normal school and Washington State college with him. They were married four years ago. "Morgan was 25. He was in his second year as agent at the Kulu kak post. His two immediate pre decessors also met death, the first in attempting to fly an airplane out and the second perishing in the snow the same as Morgan." At the meeting of the city council Tuesday night B. S. Kingsley was elected as president of the body. Mr. Kingsley received the largest ma jority vote in the November election. N. R. Mueller was appointed to fill the vacancy left by II. E, Hitt, de ceased. Dr. A. W. Christopherson was ap pointed as city health officer at a salary cf $10 a month. City Attorney W. J. Warner was instructed by the body to draw up an ordinance prohibiting Hermiston residences from cutting down live trees in the parking strip between the sidewalk and curbing. This act ion grew out of a recent meeting of the Commercial club when the presi dent spoke on the necessity of pre- serving the mature trees on the pro ject, and encouraged the planting of new trees. Mayor McKenzie stilted that A. F. Rohrman had qualified for the of fice of city treasurer and had taken over his duties. Committees were appointed as fol lows: Street and lighting—J. G. Pear son, G.

St. Joseph's, and Knights of Colum bus on Week End Schedule; Determination Maintained. The Hermiston high basketball quintet threw away the jinx, which has been with it all season, whea the Bulldog offense developed the first scoring strength it has had for weeks, to bent Boardman high 30-19, Wednesday evening at the local au- ditorlvm. The Bulldogs entered the game determined to wipe out the 24-18 defeat suffered earlier In the season at the hands of the Boardman crew. Scoring by Harris and Bowman in the first quarter gave the Bulldo . a substantial lead, the score being 10-5. Boardman fought hard durin the second quarter, both teams tally ing five points to make the score at the half 15-10 in Hermiston's favor. The second half was practically the same as the first, and consisted of two fast quarters with the two teams playing hard and clean ball. A spirited rally by the Boardman team In the fourth quarter was un able to cope with the lead the Bull dogs had amassed during the third quarter. The Bulldog line-up was: Harris and Bensel. forwards; Bow man, center; and Reeves and Mar tin, guards. Substitutions included Paul end Roberts, forwards; Moore, center; and Pierson and Pierce, guards. Following the Bulldog-Boardman game the Hermiston Black Hawks lost most of their tail feathers to the Boardman town team by a 20-16 score. The Black Hawks gained the lead in the first quarter and were ahead until the half when the score was tied. 10-all. Good defense by both teams in the second half held the score down considerably. Al though the Black Hawks succeeded in leaving the Boardman team throughout the half, a last-minute rally, by Boardman tied the score 16-16. In the five minute over-time per iod which followed, the Boardman boys sank two counters to win the game 20-16, Albert Kennings re fereed tor the town team game while Clarence Henning officiated for the high school game.
