CHRISTMAS SNAPSHOTS FROM PORTLAND STREETS,
TMAS T
IS Iff FULL SWING
Morning Hours Declared Only
Chance for Those Desirous
of Avoiding Rush.
LAST DAYS ARE DREADED
Here it is
CHRIS
HADE
Suggestion Made to Shopper Wish
ing to Lighten Burden or Em
ployes That They Carry
Small-Sized Parcels.
The day pf gra.ee for those who would
lavold the rush" by doing their Christ,
mas shopping early is already passed.
In the opinion of the managers of the
stores of Portland. The flood of people
who poured Into all of the stores yes
terday bears out their assertion.
It is expected that the rush will con
tinue with increasing vigor throughout
the coming week, and what the last
three days before Christinas will de
velop store proprietors do not attempt
to predict.
"It has been an unusually busy sea
son from the oeginnlng." said the man
aeer of one of the big department Btores
yesterday. "There have been plenty of
Indications that people were more in
clined to shop early this year than ever
before, but in spite of this It begins to
appear as If the late shopping may be
heavier also this year than ever before.
Morning; Buying ITrfted.
"The only chance that now remains
for those who still hope to avoid the
rush by shopping early is to change
the wording from "shop early in the
season' to 'shop early in the morning
The late rush of people is upon us and
It cannot be minimized.
"By coming to the stores early in' the
day to do Christmas shopping the peo
ple may avoid the greatest congestion
and at the. same time do valuable work
In relieving that condition. The merits
of morning shopping for Christmas are
not confined to the one advantage of
escaping; from the heaviest crowds.
Those who come to the stores early in
the day find the stock untouched for
the day and will. I believe, experience
less delay and difficulty In making their
elections than they will when tht
crowds, pouring into the stores, neces
sarily produce more or less confusion in
their handling of the goods.
Deliveries Are Prompt.
"Morning buyers also are assured of
more prompt delivery than the late-
comers.
"If Bhoppers want to do a good turn
for the dellverymen they can do it
easily by carrying home all of their
purchases themselves, excepting, of
course, the lartte and awkward pack
ages. It is difficut for the layman to
realize what tremendous pressure the
delivery systems for the large stores
work under during the holiday season.
I am sure that if they did they would
lighten the burden of dellverymen by
taking oft their hands the little parcels
that they can carry home themsolves
without inconvenience."
CHIEF SLOVER PROTESTS
Municipal Judge Said to Interfere In
Chinese Gambling Cases.
That the raiding- of Chinese gam
bling dens is useless in Portland as
long as Municipal Judge Tazwell occu
pies the bench is the declaration of
Chief of Police Slover in a letter filed
yesterday with the City Auditor for
reference to the police committee of
the Executive Board. The chief says
the Judge has ruled that he will throw
out of court all Chinese gambling
cases where the premises of the al
leged gamblers are broken into by po
lice raiders unless under the direction
and orders of the Mayor or Executive
Board.
"I'nder these conditions." says the
chief. "I wish to state that It will not
be worth while for the police to try to
apprehend - this class of law violators,
as there is no case on record where
the Chinese have voluntarily opened
their dens for the purpose of permit
ting officers to raid gambling games.
When evidence of a gambling game is
received it is invariably necessary to
act at once and time could not be
' passed In obtaining a special permit
from the Mayor or the Executive
Board."
LINCOLN CLASS ELECTS
Game With February Graduates of
Interest at High School.
The June. '13, graduating class of
the Lincoln High School met Friday
and elected Frank Beach, the popular
manager of the Cardinal, president.
Hiss Marcla Parker was unanimously
chosen vice-president; Miss Marguerite
Gross, secretary, and Edison E. Win
gard, treasurer. The office of sergeant-of-arms
was voted to Alfred F. Schllt,
better known as "Icky."
Following the election of officers, the
game with the February graduating
class was discussed. This will be of
considerable interest, and all the stars
of the past season's football game have
arrayed themselves with one of the
elevens.
The June class team will be cap
tained by Elvin Condit, Interscholastic
all-star, while Russell J. Case has been
selected as manager. The opposing
team is led by William P. Tuerck, presi
dent of the February class. The game
Rill be played on Multnomah Field
about the middle of the coming week.
PAVING ON SANDY FINISHED
Independent Company Completes Big
Contract Ahead of Time.
City Engineer Hurlburt was notified
yesterday that the Oregon Independent
Paving Company completed yesterday

of the largest carried out this year, the
total cost being $192,000.
The general contract was subdivided
. Into two, the first involving 128.036 for
laying of asphalt between Twenty
eighth and Thirty-third. From there
to Thirty-seventh the street was al
ready paved. The second contract was
for the paving from Thirty-seventh to
Seventy-second, and was let for $164.
SSi. The street is the main thorough
fare draining Rose City Park and the
Columbia Slough district. Work was

delays occasioned by the laying of
sewers, streetcar tracks, water mains
and gas mains, the contract was fin
ished more than a month before the
contract expired.

"The people also raised subscriptions

is noted for its wealth. It Is wealthier
than ever after becoming a modern, ac

"At the annual meeting of the league,
the other cities .and sections represent

praise for Lewlston. There are many
wealthy people there and they have
given their time and money to carry
forward this development campaign so
that the burden has not fallen on a
few as it has elsewhere.
"The disposition of the Lewlston peo
ple is to take no credit to themselves
for all this, but to give It all to Tom
Richardson for having aroused them to
this activity. They are very friendly
to the Portland Commercial Club for
the co-operation and assistance given
them.
"The Northwest Livestock Show is
an established annual event and de
serves to rank with the Round-Up, the
Potlatch, Rose Festival and others of
that class. The Lewlston people are
coming to the Rose Festival and the

DESERTER GIVES UP SELF
After Three Years Snilor Tires of
Dodging Government Agents.
After eluding the Government agents
for three years and stowing away on
the army transport Thomas to come to
America . from Japan, Harry Rego, a
sailor who deserted the cruiser Gal
veston three years ago in Yokohama,
last night walked Into the police sta
tion and gave himself up to Desk Of
ficer Blair.
Neither-lack of food or money was
the reason for Rego's surrender, be
cause he was well supplied with both,
but he said that the three years of
dodging and fear that he would be
caught, proved too much for his nerve.
He said he wished to give himself up
and have it over with. r
Rego said he deserted as the result
of a "fool idea" after payday in Yo
kohama, when his ship was there. He
stayed in Japan a month and then
stowed away in the Thomas when' it
brought the Twenty-first Infantry to
Vancouver, Wash.
