This was the Tooth anniversary of
the |. o. o. F. in America, which was

the entertainment afforded them.
The second degree was conferred
by Liberal Lodge No. 555. A class
of 43 were initiated. The other de-

And next year, sometime in April,
the Liberal Lodge will be host to the
Annual Wildey Association meeting.
1t is going to be a hard matter to
outdo the efforts of the other towns
which have entertained the Oddfel-
lows, but every effort should be made
in that direction.
The territory of the Southwestern
District No. 10 of which the Liberal
lodge is a member, consists of "a
lodges, being those on the Rock Is
land from Preston to Liberal, and
there is always several hundred dele
gates in attendance and an extra
large attendance is expected at the
meeting in Liberal next year.

JOHN CALDER
KILLED IN TOPPLING
OVER OF ENGINE 1881
FIREMAN WILLIAM CUMMINGS
SUSTAINS INJURIES WHICH
WILL LAY HIM UP FOR SOME
WEEKS.

Last Saturday afternoon as Engi
neer John Calder, of Seattle, formerly
of Leavenworth, was bringing train
No. 26 in from Seattle and when about
one mile this side of the Cascade tun-
mel, on rounding a curve the engine
left the track and the veteran engi-
neer was instantly killed. The body
was found among the siderods and was
so crushed that it was scarcely recog-
nizable. Fireman VIM. Cummings, of
Seattle, sustained a severe scalp
wound, puncture under the arm and
three broken ribs. 1t is thought that
he will speedily recover. Two other
men, Red Lancaster, of Leavenworth.
and Lyle Boylbe, of Everett, were on
the engine at the time and escaped
with minor injuries, although they, as
we'll as Fireman Cummings, We're
taken to the Leavenworth hospital to
have their injuries attended to.
No one else on the train was injured,
the engine and tender being the only
part of the train to leave the track
1t seems that the track was not even
disturbed, first report that broken
rail caused the engines derailment
being erroneous. The engine was No.
1881, and it is said that several others
of its class have toppled over in a
similar manner, although the Echo
knows nothing as to the accuracy of
this report. Evidently the engine must
have cleared the track so quickly that
the coupling was twisted off without
disturbing the equilibrium of the
coach next the tender and the coaches
all remained on the track, being
brought to standstill by the automa-
tic action of the air breakes, for the
first members of the traincrew knew
of the accident was when the train
stopped and it was discovered that the
engine was lying besides or near the
observation coach.
Engineer John Calder was one of the
oldest engineers in the number of
years service in service here. He had
been on the road between twenty-siX
and twenty-seven years, and was for
merly a resident of this city where all
who knew him intimately speak in the
highest terms of him as an engineer, 4
citizen and man. The remains were
brought here and later returned 70
Seattle, where the funeral was held on
Tuesday, many of his Leavenworth
friends attending. He is survived by
his wife and four children.

FROZEN APPLES
MOVED FROM YARD

Cashmere Record-A long string of
loaded refrigerators filled with apples
from Cashmere, Dryden and Peshastin,
reported to be 90 in number, were
started out eastbound last Sunday.
Most of the cars were loaded prior to
December / and remained for a week
without protection of any kind in the
extreme cold and below zero weather..
That they were thoroughly frozen is
the opinion of fruit men, and the out
come of this circumstance is awaited
by them with no little concern.
Fruit men and shippers here do not
anticipate any direct loss to themselves
by what they declare gross negligence
on the part of the railroad. Their ex-
perience, however, gives them the
knowledge that an apple frozen usually
deteriorates very rapidly and finds lit
tie favor in the market or with the
trade, and that large quantity of in
ferior fruit dumped for quick sale ser
iously affects market conditions. They
also know the vast amount of red tape
and probably litigation involved in the
settlement of claims with railroad
companies. The condition is one they
dc not altogether relish.

BOYS AND GIRLS OF
STATE TO STUDY
THRIFT IN SCHOOLS
TEN WEEKS INTENSIVE COURSE
IN THRIFT EDUCATION. COM
MENCING DECEMBER 10th TO
FEBRUARY 9th.

Boys and girls in the State of Wash
ington are to learn their A. B. C.'s il
thrift and saving during the next ter
weeks. Mrs. Josephine Corliss Pres
ton, State Superintendent of Public
instruction, has just completed prepar.
ing ten weeks course in "Thrift"
which will be part of the regular
school curriculum. The lessons will be
given once a week. One thousand let.
ters of instruction, accompanied by an
outline of the Thrift course to be given
in the schools of the state, have been
mailed to the principals and superin-
tendents of the schools. The spirit OF
the Thrife course harks back to the
days of Benjamin Franklin and simple
living.
eff the coming generation is to be a
useful, helpful, and happy one we must
begin to inculcate the first principles
Of thrift in these young impressionable
Minds" says Mrs. Preston. "Extra-
VACANT ideas that run to candy, ice
cream, and toys in large amounts in
the younger boys and girls; and mo-
vies, silk hose, and georgette blouses
in young high school girls, should not
be allowed to run riot. Where is there
a better place to instill ideals of simple
happy living in the minds of these
young people than in the schools?
The lessons are arranged so that the
teacher devotes a certain portion of
the thrift hour in giving short talk.
The pupils then give certain part of
the program and the last twenty min
utes of each thrift hour is devoted to
the buying of Thrift Stamps. The ten
lessons attempt to arouse an interest
in the children for the saving of time,
talent, health, and money. A brief
resume of the course follows:
Christmas lesson to be given on De-
cember 10Th. The children are urged
to give gifts of Thrift Stamps, to use
their gift money received at Christmas
time IN purchasing Thrift Stamps, and
to earn money during Christmas vaca-
tion with which to buy Thrift Stamps.
Each child then gives suggestion as
TO how to earn money during the vaca-
ton. The last twenty minutes of the
hour are used for selling stamps.
The next letter comes on January
End and the keynote of this lesson is
Thrift Through Avoiding Needless eX-
pense. A new vogue in resolutions
will be introduced at this time when
each pupil gives a New Years resolu-
ton on Thrift.
The titles of the other lessons are:

WINTER WHEAT AND RYE

The December first estimate of the
aera sOwn to winter wheat in Wash
ington is $4,000 acres. The crop re-
port just issued by G. S. Ray, Field
Agent for the Federal Bureau of Crop
Estimates, indicates that this acre
age is approximately 100000 acres
less than that of last fall, when 1,02l ),
900 acres were planted. This years
acreage is but slightly above the usual
area of 10000 acres.
For the United States, the area of
winter wheat is 3S,770,000 acres, this
being a considerable decrease as COM
pared with the 50,489,00 acres sown
in 1918.
The condition of winter wheat is
81 per cent of normal in Washington,
while for the United States the con-
ditiOn is 85.2 per cent. With a consid-
cradle amount of seeding done very
late, most of the wheat in the state
had made but little surface growth
before the November freeze. A heavy
covering of snow, now quite general
throughout the wheat belt of the state,
will be beneficial to the crop. Until
spring growing weather is expert
enced, however, it will be impossible to
determine the damage done by freez-
ing to the late sown wheat.
The acreage of winter rye in the
state is but one per cent greater than
in 1918, when 10000 acres were sown.
The acreage this fall, however, is 1O7
per cent of that usually planted. In
the Big Bend and southern counties,
which produce the greater percentage
of the rye crop, Adams, Franklin, Lin
coin, and Klickitat counties show a
slight increase in acreage. The con-
dition of the crop December 1st was
92 per cent of normal.

NEW HYDRO-ELECTRIC
POWER PLANT TO BE
PUT IN THIS SEASON
TUMWATER LIGHT & POWER co.
WILL. ERECT. PLANT COMING
YEAR SEVERAL TIMES LAR
GER THAN PRESENT PLANT.

The Echo is authorized to say that
during the coming year the Tumwater
Light and Power Company of Leaven-
worth will build a new and up-to-date
electric light and power plant several
times larger than the present plant
which will enable the company to
serve this whole community and have
a surplus for it's future growth.
No defnate plans cam now be out
lined, but it is probable that an entire
ly new plant will be built below the
present one. The matter of a new
site has been under consideration for
some time. 1t is hoped that in build
ing the new plant the cause of trouble
during extreme cold weather may be
overcome. This is the clogging of the
flume OF pipe which leads the water to
the water wheel or turbin. On the
Wenatchee river and only a couple
other streams in the West a peculiar
slush ice forms in the water and upon
entering swift water it is made to adj
here to whatever solid substance-as
rocks OF fiumes-that it comes in con-
tact with, and in the case of the flume,
soon filing it so full that insufficient
water can pass through it. 1t is
hoped that by locating the intake of
the f1ume at water fall suction or
overdraft may be created which will
carry the slush ice away from the in
take. 1t is planned to provide very
large hume so that in the event that
the slush ice trouble cannot be over
come otherwise, there will still be
capacity enough to provide sufficient
power at all times.
