Private A. Tiggard of the U. S. Marine corps is the first enlisted man to serve as President Harding's per, sonal aide. While the Hardings were at Point Isabel, Tex, after the cleo tiOn, the car in which Mrs. Harding was riding collied with Private Fig gard, knocking him down and iniur- ing him considerably. Mrs. Harding was much impressed with the young mans personality and after she be came mistress of the White House she informed Commander Holmes of the MayfiOwer that she wished Tfggard transferred to the presidential yacht. Naturally he was the proudest man on board when the President went to Hampton Roads to review the Atlan- tic fleet.

No attendance records were broken. Jack Jones was in the box for the East Siders and Lyman Huskey caught; Jim Bush was on the mound for the West Side Stars and John Hesterly caught. The feature of the contest was the wonderful pitching of Jones who displayed remarkable control and delivered the pill with near-veteran class.

MORE HIGHWAY MONEY.

An official report from the L. :.
Bureau of Roads shows this state will
obtain 81, 103, 709.77 instead of the 81 :
083,000 originally estimated as its an
nual share of the federal road funds.
There is now available 1857 ,903.26 to
which $735 ,SO6.51 will be added after
Jan. /. Neither sum, however, can b.,
drawn upon until projects and plans
are approved by the Bureau of Roads
The extra $4,000 a year which it
is discovered this state can draw
means Washington's percentage of
federal aid funds has been increased
to Isl per cent. AS the new federal
aid act provides not more than 500
900 a mile can be given toward any
project the extra allotment made to
this state could be figured on the bas-
is that the government will help build
an extra mile of difficult road annual
ly.
A change of plans in the Bureau of
Roads that probably will do away
with most elaborate red tape system
is likely to aid in expediting the ap-
proval of this states highway pro-
iects, some of which are already sub
mitted for approval.
In its first order the Bureau Of
Roads required a set of maps drawn
with all the painstaking detail of a
geological survey map and including
an elaborate showing of all highways
indicating the type of construction
and presenting all information about
past and future federal aid projects.
As such map called for detailed in
formation regarding roads built by
counties or improvement districts,
some of which is not available, an in
finite amount of research was de-
manded The map work alone might
have required two months time to
complete and would have resulted in
a corresponding delay.
This requirement has been with
drawn though the data may be re-
CURED later However the state high
way committee is negotiating direct
~ with Thomas H. Macdonald, direc-
tor of the bureau of roads, for an
early approval of Washington's high
way prospects.

WOOL ASSOCIATION
PASSES 1900 MARK.

The membership of the Oregon

THE LEAvENWORTH ECHO
THE ELECTRIC VS.. THE
STEAM LOCOMOTIVE.

The electric locomotive is a better
locomotive than the steam locomotive
for the following, among other reas-
ons: 1t has no boilers nor firebox; Il
has shorter rigid wheel base; it car
ries no tender; it has a greater ratio
of weight on drivers to total engine
weight; it has less weight per driving
axle and a greater proportion of its
weight is spring borne; it has uniform
torque, and therefore a higher co-ef-
ficient Of adhesion; it can be built for
any power desired by increasing the
number of driving axles and is there
fore free from limitations of length;
its maximum torque is available at
much higher speed; the steam loco
motive can work to an adhesion of 20
per cent up to only 10 or ~ miles an
hour, whereas the electric locomotive
can work to this adhesion up to 20 to
% miles an hour; its efficiency over
range of load from so to 100 per cent
varies only few per cent and is con
slant throughout it life, whereas the
efficiency of the steam locomotive
varies over a wide range with aoe
and use-a modern superheated
steam locomotive requires so per cent
more steam per horsepower-hou at
full load than at half load. A steam
locomotive must burn coal in descend
ing a grade on which an electric To-
connective will regenerate energy. To
sum up, the electric locomotive is
much the better transportation tool.

madam association, five-year old or
ganization, numbers over 10000
growers. In no instance would these
growers return to the old haphazard
system of selling wool to peddlers and
country buyers in an ungraded condi-
ton. The various associations meth
DDS of grading woods, properly pra-
pairing for market and direct mill
selling, mean more profits for the
wool grower than under the. old meth
DDS.
Wool is one product which sells best
in large concentrated quantities, es-
pecially when graded. This is one
reason why the state and regional AS
socations have proven so successful
during the past three years. Coop
erative marketing of wool is an eco
nomic practice which gains many
benefits for the wool growers, and al
so assists mills to secure their sup
plies in the best possible condition. Ii
is orderly marketing of the highest
type and orderly marketing has been
one of the very real needs of Ameri
can agriculture.

Second only to the name of Daniel

the outbreak of the Revolution and
who crossed over the mountains into

lucky in search of adventure. His ex-
PLOTS there soon won for him the I'M

less than eight times he was captured
by them and sentenced to death.
In ITS Kenton with two compan-
ions went north into Ohio to spy upon
a tribe at war with the whites. While
returning, they came upon a herd of
Indian horses. The kentucklans re-
solved to take some of the animals
along as trophies of the successful ex-
petition. The Indians quickly discov-
cred the theft and overlook the scouts
Just before they crossed the Ohio

community which the post serves.
The message must carry the real
spirit of Christmas and comradeship.

In pursuance of this request, state

ingtor to get busy. Posts are to as
certain, if they do not already know,
who the people are who should be Wis
tied. Material cheer-but not in the
guse of charity--is to be taken to
them.
"These men deserve all the kapp;-

B. Cunningham, state commander, in
a bulletin to the post of the Depart
ment. "Go after this with every man
in your post. Use every means at
your disposal Handle it as you see
fit, and if Department Headquarters
can help you, let US know"
Auxiiaries to Seattle posts of the
American Legion were active in car
rying Thanksgiving cheer to the for
former disabled and wounded fight
ers in hospitals here, and to their
families and dependents. They have
even more extensive plans for the hol-
iday season. The auxiliaries of Sc

Information was received by state
headquarters of the American Legion
here this week, that the national
legislative committee of the former
service mems organization, at the re-
quest of thousands of American Lee
gion posts, recently secured a clause
in the "Act to Reduce and Equalizo
Taxation, and to Amend and Simpli-
fly the Revenue Act of 1918" approx
ed by the President on November %,
1921. reading as follows:
'No taxes shall be levied under
this title in respect to any adms-

The above amendment to the Rev
enue Act becomes effective January
/, 1922. After that date no post Of
the American Legion or the Ameri-
can Legion's Auxiliary will be re-
quired to pay this so-called amuse-
ment admission tax.
