ceptional demand for them earlier in
the week. T. ~...
The feature stunt of the evening
twas revealed just as the parade
started to move off. At that time
an airplane, flying 1000 feet over the
dome of the state Capitol, was OBJ
served by the crowds below, with a
giant Fiery Cross emblazoned on the
wings. The plane circled the Capitol
building several times, and then
started off to follow the entire route
of the parade. Then. from an eleva7
ton of 1000 feet, the aviator climbed
to a distance of 1000 feet, so that
the cross appeared to be standing
vertically in the air. It was at this
time that the apparent phenomena OF
a Fiery Cross high in the heavens
could be plainly seen from Albany, a
distance of 20 miles south Of Salem
Returning to the former elevation
the sign was changed to the words:
"Join K. X. K" and the aviator again
circled the city. :, ...-
The two special trains leaving
Portland were unable to accommodate
the crowds, and about so Klansmen
and women were left behind. The
Fiery Cross was placed on the front
of the first special, when it took on
the crowd at Tenth and Washington
The Portland Klansmen paraded from
the train at Salem to the state fair
grounds, The Klans were we'll rep
resented from every Klavern in the
state of Oregon. -...-
The entire facilities of the state
fair grounds were used by the Klans-
men, and the ladies who attended the
meeting. Approximately s2,500 meals
were served at the grounds by the
ladies from the combined Protestant
churches Of Salem. s..: .-.
After, the parade, the Klavern was
opened in the race track, enclosure
by the Grand Klaliff of Oregon. The
Klansmen were inside the enclosure,
and the grandstand, capable of seat
ing 5000, was comfortably filled by
spectators. A 40-foot Fiery Cross
was lighted in the race track. The
Royal Riders were given special rec
ognition, and escorted inside the
Klavern to join in the ceremonies.
Speeches were delivered by Tom
Akers, who talked on behalf of Fred
L. Clifford, the Grand Dragon of Ore
gon; V. K. "Bearcat" Allisan, I'm
perial Lecturer; the Patrol Chief of
the Royal Riders and J. R. Johnson,
Exalted Cyclops of Portland Klan No.
4, who presented the charter to
Salem Klan. -. -
+ A large class was initiated by
Salem Klan before the parade. The
initiation was conducted by C. c,
Star, KlEagle of Salem Klan. Star
was in charge of, and directly respon-
sible for the entire demonstration,
which was conceded to be the biggest
and best ever held on the Pacific
coast.
The Western American, official
Klan paper for the state, was repre-
sented. One member of the staff car
ried large banner on which were
the words "Read the truth about the
Klan in The Western American, off,
cial paper for the K. X. K, R. r. R.
R., and w. o. X. X. K" ~" @
Major Luther I. Powell, K1Eagle
for Portland Klan, who was in Salem
also, parcipitated in the parade.
An important part was played by
the Field Marshal of the Salem Klan
who, with 100 aides, policed the
grounds and cared for the hundreds
Of machines that were parked near
the race track.

Ten New Engines On
GunnisOn Division

Altogether now there are ten new
engines being used out Of the Gunni-
son roundhouse, on the narrow gage
division. The new engines are 20
feet long and 10 feet wide. Each
weighs 1000 pounds, some tons more
than any on the road previously. An
improved feature Of these new engines
is that water is now taken at the
rear instead Of the front and allows
the engine the use of all water in the
tank on 4 per cent grade. The new
cylinders measure 10 inches by "a in,
and the drivers are ~ inches. A new
valve gear has been installed.
There Is . system of electric lights
all over the engine which may be used
at any time, and they are modern In
every respect. The engineers and
firemen are very much pleased with
the new locomotives which enables
them to get work done much more
rapidly and with comfort. The new
super-heater will make an economy
on the use Of fuel and water.
Already the engines are improving
the service on this division in moving
freight, however, they are much too
heavy and big for passenger service,
on the old road bed.

BROUGHT BACK
THE vEN|SON

Probably the large area closed to
hunters in the Gunnison Game Refuge,
had some effect on the number of deer
brot in during the four days open sea-
son, still a goodly amount of fnc
meat is grazing the tables of local
hunters in this and other towns of the
county.
The season, which began last week
Friday, was ushered in by snow
storm. This was probably an aid to
the hunters by dampening the leaves
and making game easy to track. Sat-
urday it cleared and the following two
days were fine weather.
Ralph Stone came down Monday
from above Ohio City, but the big
buck he had with him fell to the trusty
rife of John Zugelder, q Ralph, Tim

SPEEDY bENGALS SMOTHER
COWBOYS BY $40 SCORE
Junction Eleven Proves Better Team in Spir-
tied Contest Yesterday. Monte Vista Held
to Six-all in Saturdays Came

Grand Junction Tigers were too
heavy and too well knit into a win
ming football eleven for the Gunnison
Cowboys to make u dent in their hide
Thursday afternoon when the two
teams FLASHED on Junction field in the
presence of 1000 spectators, quite the
largest crowd ever assembled in West
ern Colorado to witness a football
game.
Coming out with the losing end of
n 30 to 0 score, the Cowboys have the
satisfaction of knowing that they play
ed strong consistent game, and were
beaten by recognized better team.
First reports of the game indicate
that, knowing they were outweighed
and up against team of veterans
who were to determined to wipe out
the three successive defeats which the
Cowboys have inflicted against the
Tigers, the former attempted an open
game, which they did not have ex-
perience enough to put over. The
Junction made two touchdowns in the
first quarter by straight football, and
both goals were kicked successfully,
Once in the second, once in the third
and again in the fourth the pigskin
was pushed over the Gunnison goal
by their determined opponents, but
the Tigers did not succeed in goal

Buena Vista Looking

spring on the way west up the range

lists and for prospectors according 10
the Buena VistA people.
It was inevitable when the Taylor
park canon road was projected that
Buena Vista folks would demand a
connection with the park, because it
was the one source Of community de-
velapment to which they cnuld look.
Automatically this will in time open
that short cut to Denver of LOG miles,
which is 100 NILES SHORTER
THAN ANY OTHER ROUTE TO

WHY THE MINK TRIBE
is INCREASING STEADIL,

After cleaning up over $50 musk
rats in the Upper valley of the Gunni-
son, Charley Wright leaves soon for
the Black canon where he expects to
capture lot of mink. Charley tells
US that the mink are getting more
numerous of late years, because of the
ease of catching fish food in the deep
pools where the suckers congregate.
They find excellent nesting places in
the slide rock, and live on the big
lazy suckers in the pools. Particular
ly in the winter time when other food
is scarce, the mink win dive thru the
holes which swift water keeps open,
and because of his ability to stay under
water some fifteen minutes, can catch
a big sucker and get his days grub
without any trouble at all. This is
conducive to larger mink families
than existed before the arrival of the
sucker, az the trout are harder pro.
position, altho they do catch them.
