Like so many well-entrenched, traditional as- sumptions, this one is unwarranted. J. Evetts Haley, in editing one of the extremely rare accounts of the cattle drives to Califor- nia which preceded the Texas-to-Kansas experiment by a decade and a half, slapped the blame for this misunderstanding squarely on the writings of Emerson Hough.

    Episode 2 – “Deep Water” (In front of the Grand Central Hotel, men are felling a tree using ropes to guide it.) Lumberjack: Hold it, now keep attention on it boys! That’s it! (EB emerges from the hotel pushing a wheelbarrow full of laundry – he’s heading for Mr. Wu’s. We see Tim Driscoll’s dog come running after him. When EB gets to the pig sty, we see Mr. Wu raking the mud around the pen and hear the pigs squealing – he watches EB approach.) E.B.: “Washee” (Holding up some of the linens) Mr. Wu: “Washee” (EB reveals the body of Tim Driscoll in the cart under the linens.) EB: “Eat-ee” (Camera pans to the pigs, EB points to the barking dog) His doggy, them “eat-ee” too, or, “eat-ee” him yourself, you leering heathen. (Smiles, laughs and leaves.) --- (Up in Al’s bedroom, he and Trixie are sleeping – Al sits up, Trixie remains asleep. We hear the chattering of the lumberjacks outside, Al gets up and – yup, pisses in his chamber pot. He looks out the window and sees the men fell the tree. He spots EB approaching. Al, finished pissing, picks up the gun Trixie left on his bedside table – Trixie opens her eyes.) Al: Is this for me? Trixie:Brought it for you. Al: (Throws back the covers off a naked Trixie) Get out. --- (Back out on the street – one man is talking excitedly to another.) Hoople head: Pointed the gun at him! Boom, shot him right over there!

    April Editorial, We Will Be Back Into Our Everyday Routines

    Past, Present, and Future Easter 1997 By the time most of us read this April editorial, we will be back into our everyday routines. Easter 1997 will have become history. Our hopes and prayers for a beautiful sunrise, along with a great increase in attendance, will have been answered. We have always been assured of a great Easter Memorial Sunrise Service. All of our Grand Prelates have done an outstanding job in carrying out their duties and sending forth a most interesting Easter message. I will give all of you a full report, in detail, on the Easter Sunrise Service in the May issue of the Knight Templar magazine. 29th Annual Voluntary Campaign of the Knights Templar Eye Foundation Sir Knights, the 29th Annual Voluntary Campaign is in trouble. We have eleven weeks to go until the end of this campaign. At the end of the first thirteen weeks, we have a cumulative total of $313,012.48. This total is behind the 28th Voluntary Campaign by $103,317.98. Sir Knights, if this trend continues (We are a little over halfway through the campaign.), drastic cuts may have to be made in our budget for next year. For your information, the budget for next year begins July 1, 1997. Only with help from all of you can we get our 29th Annual Voluntary Campaign back on track. I beg you Grand Commanders to have your Voluntary Campaign Chairmen seek every source for donations. We need your help. Meet Me in St. Louie, Sir Knight Louie! Sir Knights and ladies: Your Triennial Committee is hard at work getting all facets of the Triennial Conclave in their final stages.
