YOUNG BROTHER OF DR. W. L.
MORGAN DIES IN NORTH.
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.

"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

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.

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.
Friday evening the Bulldogs will
