THE LEGION CONVENTION
 IN PARIS

The American Legion and it's Auxiliary will hold it's National Annual Convention in Paris in Sep tember this year from the 18th to the 24th. The prime purpose of this Paris e0zentiOn is to make an impressive international pilgrim age to the graves Of their comrades and to the scenes of tne struggle that gave birth to the organization in order that the sacrifices which brought peace may be recalled to public memory and thereby the ties Of good will for the maintenance Of international friendship and under standing may be strengthened.
 This is a stupendOus undertak- ing. but the details have been very completely worked out by the na- tional officers of the American Le- zion ct Indianapolis. The magni- tude of such an undertaking may be realized, as not only the Legion members are eligible, but also members of the American Legion Auxiliary and the Forty and Eight. The Legion has also reserved 1000 spaces for members of suca welfare by the A. E. F.. namely the Red Cross, Y. M. c. A. Y. W c. A American Library Association. Sal vation Army. Knights of Columbus, and the Jewish Welfare Board. In return for tbe privilege of be- ing allowed to enroll in the move ment to this extent. these various organizations have promised and agreed to render. during the course of this trip and especially during the convention and so forth, simi- lar welfare service to that render ed by each of them during the war.
 At the meeting of the national l executive committee in Indian apolis January 10th, husbands of Legionaires or AuXiliares were de- elared eligible for the trip under the one condition that they brinf l their member wives along Fla thers, children and grandfathers of Legionaires and comrades who made the supreme sacrifice, are eli- gible and especially encouraged to make the trip.
 Twenty-eigAt large liners with i the Leviathan, the worlds largest and fastest steamer as the flagship will carry the second A. E. F. to France and back II is possible for anyone to sail in advance as early as August 3rd and still get the i benefit of the reduced rates. The last sailing from France homeward bound is Nov 3rd All railroads have granted a return ticket to the port of sailing for half price, which rate is good for four months. No passport will be necessary for this trip, as a Legion Travelling eertifi- cate will be recognized by all Euro pean governments except Russia. The final date for making eonven- tion reservations is May IA, 1927.
 Each state and territory is being managed by a Department Conven- tion officer, who handles all details for his respective district. The D. F. c. 0. for Alaska is H. J. Thompson of Juneau.
 Anyone desiring information re- garding this trip, may call on N. Nussbaumer, who will gladly as sist any applicant.

JOE JACKSON MAKES DEAL
 ON CLEARWATER PROPERTY

Joe Jackson. owner of five plac- CT claims on Clearwater creek, in Cassiar district, Northern British Columbia, has put over the first deal in those diggings, under the terms of which NJ. J. Lee and R. E. Hutchinson, of Oregon City, Ore, take workout lease on the Jack son holdings. Lee and Hutchinson, both of whom are substantial men of means, will install the necessary mining equipment to mine the property to the best advantage, and Mr Jackson is left free to de- vote himself to further prospecting if so inclined. He has already been offered fine grubstake which he is considering.
 Clearwater is a new camp and reports from there are very encour- aging. It is located about thirty five miles from Telegraph Post and about ten miles from the Stikine river. A number of men went in there last season, Jackson among them, and found very excellent prospects. The Jackson party will leave Wrangell on the second sail ing of the Harrington steamers on the Stikine river.
 MT. Jackson has not been in the mining game for a very long per iod of time-about three years but he sure is making progress in the industry. He is the discoverer of a big silver-lead property on Texas creek, in the Portland canal district, among the first made in that section of the district, and still owns mining property there. His first discovery slipped away from him before he knew it, by the company organization route.
 MT. Hutchinson, associated with MT. Lee in the Jackson lease, is an old sourdough, having prospected and mined in the Koyukuk district many years ago. Since going into the Oregon country, he has pros pered in the lumber business, but the call to the North is irresistible, so he is going back. He will prob- ably have charge of the mining op- erations on the Jackson property Alaska Weekly.

SCHOOL NOTES

The spring vacation will be the week before Easter, beginning April 11th
 
 The realization has just dawned upon the class Of '27 that they are spending their last days in high school.
 With commencement just two months off the members have se- riously taken under consideration those arrangements which always mark the graduation of a class.
 At the meeting of the class last Friday, announcements were se- lected and a thought was given to the coming commencement and class day. The class has met an obstacle in the selection of a class motto. Those that have been sug gested do not seem worthy( in the eyes of the seniors) of the class.

THOUSANDS SEE
new LASALLE

4 y II 8 = J sg !
Attracting attention beyond even
the most sanguine hopes Of. its
sponsors, the new LaSalle. intro.
duced as companion car to the
Cadillac. has attracted thousands OF
Washingtonians to the spring salon
Of the Washington Cadillac Company
since it went on exhibition for the
rrist time .-st saturday Before the
salon closes next Saturday night,
thousands Of others will have visited
the show rooms at 1888 Connecticut
Ave. to Inspect this latest addition to
the American fine-car field.
Those who have examined the
LaSalle have found 1t to be an alto
gether different car than the Cadillac.
although fully on a par with the en-
gineering. design and workmanship
standards Of the larger car In ex-
1erior appearance. the LaSalle is
unique There are no points of SINH
arity between it and the older
product of the company
Looks Much Smaller
The four body styles which are be-
ing shown here are low. graceful,
racy, well proportional and wildly
finished in harmonious multi-tone eff
fects. Although actually but seven
inches shorter in wheelbase than the
Cadillac. the low lines and unique
body design of the LaSalle give it the
appearance OF being much smaller
than its sister product
Like its predecessor. the LaSalle
IL powered by 90-degree, V-type
eight-cylinder motor, that. in four
years of experimentation and test,
has been developed to the finest eff
feet. The motor is 1.-the, alertly
powerful. speedy, flexible and espe-
cially sensitive to the acceIeratof.
Specifications Of the engine reveal
that the LaSalle is not light eight
in the ordinary sense Of the word. Tt
has a piston displacement OF 303
cubic inches and rated horsepower
Of 1925. 1t develops rs horsepower
ct 5000 revolutions per minute.
"A speed of Is miles an hour is
claimed for the new car. It yields Is
miles to the gallon of gasoline. Many
special features of design have been
utilized to give the engine of the
LaSalle its power and speed High
compression and high turbulence

excellent carburetion system en-
ployed in the car.
No Vibration
An especially notable contribution
In the engineering of the LaSalle is
the absence of engine vibration.
The worm and sector type steering,
together with the 1S-inch rubberized.
racing type steering wheel make for
very easy handling. The residence
of the steering wheel rim absorbs
road shocks with marked success.
