SEATTLE, July IL. - The
royal bald eagle Is to be ban
ished from the great seal OF the
state Of Washington in favor Of
a woodpecker. And a downy
woodpecker at that, the small
est of American woodpeckers.
II seems that the bald eagle
has never done anything for the
state OF Washington, while the
downy woodpecker has done
more for conservation than all
the Roosevelts and Pinchots
who ever lived. For thousands
OF years the downy woodpecker
has been fighting the destruc-

Las Cruces, n. NJ, Jan. 27.-The regu-
lar monthly meeting of all the mem
bers of the Mesilla valley chamber Of
commerce will be held in the armory
on Tuesday evening.
The Mesilla valley chamber of COM
merce has for years been one of the
potent factors in keeping up a lively
interest in the welfare and Upbuilding
of the valley and Las Cruces, but IN
fortunately has not received the loyal
support Of the citizenship at large as
it had reason to expect.
But things have lately taken on a
different aspect since a. r. Colema n
took the secretaryship. Secretary Cole
man hopes TO be able to show at this
coming meeting an increase in mem
bership of at least so percent since he
took charge Of the office, but that is
not where he wants to stop, as the
chamber should have at least 800 MEM
bers, he says, and he will endeavor
to build it up to that before the close
Of the year.
In answer to letters sent to road
commissioners in each of the states and
territories, the secretary has received
much data which will be used in the
good roads meeting. which will be held
in this city shortly. DR.. Garrison is

RAILROAD MEN TEST
NEW INVENTION
Of AIR VALVE
A Globe Man Has a Patent
Angle Cock That Holds
Brakes Fast.

Globe. AriZ.. jan 27.-BefOre a large
gathering of experienced railroad men
and experts of the study of air appli-
ances W. d. Kendrick. inventor of the
Kendrick improved valve. gave a dem
OnstratiOn of the workings of the de-
vice near the Old Dominion smelter.
Brakes Hold Fast
This was the first ATTEMPT ever made
to test thoroughly the real value of the
new invention. Two valves were placed
between the first and second cars back
OF the engine. This place was chosen
in preference to the rear of the train.
as the strong pressure from the power
flli air pumps on the engine would
bring out any false presentation which
might have been claimed by the in
ventor. Five cars were placed in the
opposite direction from the engine and
the valves. When the valve operating
the rear of the train was closed. and
the other valve which controlled the
front part of the train was opened. the
engineer Immediately applied so
pounds OF air to try TO release the air
brakes, but without avail. the brakes
were set and it was impossible for the
powerful pump on the engine to pump
air fast enough TO release them.
When Mr.. Kendrick was ready to let
the engineer release the brakes. he

Many Uses for Valve
This invention relates to angle cocks
or valves used especially on air brake
systems. Angle cock have beretofora
been made provided with means for
exhaGsting the hose when the cool il
closed. for the purpose of exhaustinr
the air pressure in a detached car or
the like. 1t is sometimes desired TO "a
tain the pressure in the hose when the
train line is cut off. The object Of
this invention, says the inventor. is 70
provide a simple and novel device nv
means of which air can be either "a
tanned in the hose or released nv
movement of the handle of the angle
cock.
The invention has further object in
that it provides means for allowing the
escape of moisture or water from the
train line, permitting il to be either
blown out or to run out without pres
sure.
The uses to which the invention NAV
be put. are necessarily varied, but in
the mind of the inventor. the most i'm
portant ones are those IN connection
with railways. For instance, it NAV he
used in steam hose connections between
cars, to take the steam out preparatory
to parting the hose. which latter opera
tion, by the present method, is con-
