Morgan,s Death a Surprise.

Coming as a surprise and shock to
his many friends in this city was the
news Of the death Of Clifford L. Nor
gan in Portland Friday. He died sud-
denly OF heart disease. A few Of his
closest friends in this county knew
that he was subject to attacks but
we're not prepared to learn OF his

county during the early days OF the
government project to run the hotel
there but later became a colonizer
and, in this capacity. made fifteen or
twenty trips across the continent. He
was instrumental in bringing many
families to this county. Before NOV

bers OF the champion team OF last

very bright in this department OF
school activity.
Since A. c. Hampton accepted the
position OF principal OF the local high
school In 1907. there has been a reg

complishments In this activity.
Through his influence the high school

In 1910 another team composed Of

Hartwell and Lyman Rice was again
sent to Eugene for the finals, and
this time brought home the state
trophy, a beautiful silver cup. In
1911 Mr.. Hampton sent a third team
composed OF James Hartwell, leader,
Claud Hampton and Chester Fee to
the finals. but this time the cup was
lost by a two TO one decision.
In 1912 there was a lack OF ma

TODAYS
HEALTHOGRAM

A tuberculosis patient must be
given hope, means to get well,
and something TO do. The report
of the social service department
of the Indiana university says
"Once interest a patient in his
own condition and problem. and
give him hope, and he will go
further than any one else, ac-
cording to his ability, toward
solving that problem"
Many of the new sanitariums
for tuberculosis sufferers are fit
ted up with some sort of industry
at which the inmates of the place
may work.
