While many of us are accustomed
to allude in a Jocular way to oar al
leged acquaintance with J. Plerport
Morgan, our Intimacy with John D.
Rockefeller, and refer to our recent
loans to Vanderbilt, the real oppor-
tunltles for social Intercourse with
the financial heads of the nation are
rather Infrequent, but that men of
this calibre are not "aloof" characters
that they are ofbserpalnted, Is evi
denced by the recent experience of a
Klamath Falls boy.
In 1915. when Thomas Lamont.
senior member of the Arm of J. Pler
port Morgan ft Co., visited Harrlman
Lodge on Upper Klamath Lake, he
was summoned home on a rush. call

sination of J. Plerpont Morgan by a
fanatic. He was driven to catch the

Accordingly, Hoagland, now In the

TON'S OPERA HOUSE
Klamath Falls Is usually spread
over a considerable district, but last
evening It was apparently bunched
als in one spot, theHouston opera
house, to see the presentation of the
Play, "In Old Kentucky."
It is seldom that the local public
has a ,chance to see and hear a troop
of the size and calibre as that last
evening, and appreciation was duly
shown In the turnout and applause of
the performance.
While the acting thruout the play
was well received, the particular fea
ture of the program which appealed
to the audience ,was' the singing,
dancing and playing of the darkeys,
which was of unusual nature. The
melody of the-old plantation songs
by a negro chorus will never be re
placed by anything sweeter or more
appealing Jto the music lover, and the
entertalnmenf lasTevenlng left noth
ing to be desired in this line.
