YOUNG WIFE PASSED AWAY.

Mabel Eva Black, wife Of +. NJ.
Young, died last FRAY morning, Aug.
II, 1922, at the age Of q years and
six months, from complications fol-
lowing childbirth.
The deceased was born Feb. II,
1895, at Fossil, Oregon, and is sur
vived by her husband, three children,
(aged and 2 and an infant, four
brothers and three sisters. Two
brothers and two sisters were at the

dertaking Company in charge. A
very large attendance was present and

formed an ever broadening circle Of

Holding down the job of president
Of the United States is not an easy
one and those who live through it
usually have a fellow feeling for each
other. Roosevelt may have been an
exception. He was fighter and
went after and got what he wanted
most Of the time and he probably did
not have much "use" for those who
followed him as presidents. Taft was
president at time when an unusual
calm prevailed and about all there was
to ruffle the placid waters of admin
istration was Roosevelt's landing with
a foar, cumulative of an African lion,
upon his return from his big game
hunt, and the political disruption
which followed. Wilson was calm and
cool and calculated each step, mis-
Judging some times, and getting into
q situation which at length brought
on a fight for which he had not the
strength, but which, had he not
broken down, he might have won.
Harding is now going through a per
iod of internal strife which is bring
ing out the best there is in him. He
has been set down as a weakling, but
he is showing up better than many
expected. Perhaps by persuing a
calm course he may settle the strikes
and win the affection of his country
men. As is limited by a Washington
correspondent, he is learning the diff
ference between being president dur
ing a great crisis and being a buster
ing member of the senate. He is
learning TO sympathize with Woodrow
Wilson. Wilson long ago learned
what it was to be president.
Judge Taft has some reason to know
what it is TO be criticised and BELT
tied. And between the three there is
perhaps a bond of feeling which no
one else of the hundred and ten mil
lion people in America can quite
grasp.

FRIDAY, AUGUST IS, 1922
Knots"

We have before US, just received.
the December number of the Monthly
Bulletin Of the State College of Wash
ington, in which we find thirty three
pages devoted to explaining how to tie
different knots. This knotty question
seems to involve a college education
and judging from the Bulletin it has
been taken to the right place. Then
we find that tackle sets occupy ten
pages, but before tackling tackles it
is necessary to finish the four-year
course in knots, but before one be-
comes intimate with the course in
knots it is necessary 70 be introduced.
The introduction is preceded by dis
course on the subject Of the engineer
ing experiment station and list of
the board of regents. including Gov
Louis F. Hart, and the whole staff of
Knot Engineers, table of contents and
list Of illustrations, sources of mater
ials. But these are mere form. The
introduction is what counts. When it
is over, one gets general survey of
"knots." Then comes Strength of
knots" fastening knots Shorten
ing knots" "splices," clutches" 4the
diamond hitch" "1ashings," "tackle
sets" "chain hoists" and transmits
sion cables" and liberal education
in diamaters, circumference, break
ing strength, working load, ct cetera,
and then a supplementary course in
"splicing"-splicing ropes and cables,
Of course, all profusely illustrated.
We never knew there was so much
to knots, though, being married per-
son, we suspected that it was not all
on the surface and that as time passed
knots other than matrimonial might
prove mighty interesting.
We advise all young people to 90 to
Pullman and take the course at the
State College before entering upon
life's uncertainties. It is better to
know all there is to know about knots
than to mot know nothing" Of
KNOTS.

CONTRACT FOR COMPLETING
LAST LINK IN BLEWETT
ROAD IS AWARDED

World: The contract for building
about six miles of the Sunset High
way through Blewett Pass from Pes
hastin creek to the forest boundry
was awarded Monday morning to
Burke, Sengfelder & Berry, Wenat-
chez contractors. The amount of
this company's bid was S49,30O.31,
s14,625.35 lower than the highest bid
submitted, which was S63,92566.
There were seven bidders. one be-
ing from Waterville, three being
coast road contractors, and three local
concerns.
Work will commence as soon as the
successful contractor can get his
machinery and men on the ground, it
is stated. The work will be started
on the upper end of the stretch. 1t
is planned to get as much of the road
built this fall as possible.
County Engineer John Duff's speci-
fications called for the handling of
$4,000 yards of common excavation,
10000 yards of loose rock, and 1900
yards of surfacing. The per yard
figures submitted by the various bid
ders varied in some cases but very
little, but because of the large yard
age to be moved, the total estimate
showed substantial differences.
This is the last link in the Blewett
Pass Highway improvement.

Northcliffe, the great English pub
licist, is dead and in his passing the
world has lost great man, a leader
of leaders, in fact he might with pro-
priety have been termed the world
leader during the recent past, for no
man held more commanding position
in public matters. Such men develope
and at present we know of no one who
can begin to fill Northcliffe's place.
Perhaps as the years roll by some
other will appear. Leaders are need
ed in this present time. America
needs greater men than at present
now stand out prominently England,
France, Germany, Russia, Poland and
many other nations seem to be with
out leaders of true greatness, with the
possible exception of England where
Lloyd-George looms far above all
others,

The district round about Yakima
has received a great impetus in poul-
try and egg production because Of the
poultry show put on al the state fair.
In former years a great perccntaR"
of the eggs needed in the community
were shipped in. Now there are plen-
~ produced at home to fill all local
needs and surplus to ship out. Leay-
enworth is occupying position sim
liar to Yakima's former condition. Al
certain seasons, at least, many cases
of eggs are shipped here. There is
plenty of room and an abundance Of
time for the people of this section TO
care for more hens and profit by them.

Next Tuesday will be the last day
upon which voters may register prior
to the primary election, Sept. u. Be
sure to register. That is a duty you
owe as a citizen-to register and vote.
If you live outside an incorporated
city and in the same precinct in which
you registered two years ago, it is
not necessary for you to register
again until 1924, but if you reside
within an incorporated city and have
not recently registered, you must do
so if you desire to live up to your
citizenship and cast your ballot at the
primary. The registration books
close twenty days before the primary
election and open again the day fol-
lowing the election.

England has been amused by semi
officials attempts Of the United
States to secure the cooperation Of
the British government in keeping
bootleggers from smuggling in booze
along our eastern coast. IF prohibi-
ton holds out few years more in this
country England, France and some
other European nations may be able
to sell US enough booze to cancel those
war debts owed US, and at the rate
booze is said to be coming in it ought
not be long. Bermuda is said to have
already made enough out of the bust
ness to put the islands on easy street.

Director f. L. French of the state
department of agriculture says that
though some districts will not do as
well as last year, Washington's 1922
apple crop will be fully equal to that
Of 1921. Soft fruit has not sold as
we'll this season as last, but there has
been more of it canned and a large
amount put up in barrels. This sec
ton of the state and especially the
Wenatchee Valley will have crop
which may surpass that of 1921, for
the apples are said to be exceptionally
large for this season Of the year.

Judge Sam Hill of Waterville has
filed as democrat for congress from
this district. The judge seems to be
a man Of broad gauge and good in
tentions. A statement just issued
by him reads well and if he should be
elected we may evidently expect the
best that good judgment and good in
tentions can give Us as national
legislator. But experience, opportu-
nifty, the soaring heat of actually.
seem to give US the only true meas
ure of the man.

The United States War Veteran
bureau is urging employers to give
war veterans rehabiliated vocationally
a chance, not sentimentally, but be-
cause they are capable workers whose
service will be vouched for when
working on jobs recommended for.
The men ought to be given their
chance. America should never forget
the service rendered in the great war
by the soldiers and sailors.

MASH FOUND ON INGALS CREEK

Men preparing the Ingals Creek
grounds for the Peshastin picnic
found a couple barrels of mash and
what was taken to be a place for heat
ing the still of moonshine outfit, and
it is said that they also talked with
the owner, who was stranger to
them.
It seems that most any patch of
brush may shield still these days,
for the business seems to be carried
on in increasing volume throughout
the nation, to the disgust of those who
have no interest in the business or
use for the product.

up from Malaga Tuesday to meet
friends. Mr.. Gillette said that when
he found that no one had filed against
him he thought that it was time to
get out and see the voters and show
his appreciation. Mr.. Gillette made
a very creditable showing in the legis-
lature and we believe that there is no
need to fear that he will not continue
to do his best for all his constituents.
