H-30-tf PAINTERS' SOCIETY. CHICAGO, Deo. 11. Tlie twelfth an mini exhibition 'of tho Society of West ern Painters opened yesterday at the Art Institute with a display of 148 paintings, the work of western artists. Tim exhibition will continue two weeks. Competition for the fine arts building prize of $500 promise to be keen. The Local Newipaper Published a Few Dayi Ago an Editorial Concerning Christmas Shopping that was so Full of Good Advice and Sound Common Seme that we Think it Best to Repeal it In Preference to Anything We Could Say on the Same AlHnterest Ing Subject Just Now. Here It Is Arc you a prospective holiday shopper? Then remem ber that procrastination during holiday time is the thief of comfort. We say this not only on behalf of our clerks and shop girls, but for the benefit of the public. If you have Christmas shopping to do, you should go about it at once. The results will be more 'satisfactory to you as well.as to the clerks who wait upon you. In this connection a few "dont's" will not be amiss tor guidance of the shopper : Don't delay your holiday shopping any longer than you can possibly help. Don't put off shopping until afternoon when you can shop in the morning. Don't be impatient with the store employes. . . . - Don't jostle and push when by waiting patiently you can be as successful. Don't take your baby into the crowded stores lest in the crush it be injured. Don't expect the same attention from clerks two days before Christmas that you can get now. . ' Don't expect to bfe waited upon at once, to the exclusion of other custom ers, and don't lose your tentper. . The young men and women who work in the department stores are obliged to stand on .heir feet from 7:30 o'clock in the morning until 10 o'clock at night, and it is not surprising that their tempers are often worn threadbare. The Big Store in the Middled the Blocll, A published statement concerning tlie proposed automobile beach road from Kort Stevens to Seaside, says that the road will have to be abandoned because Colonel White has informed the Astoria Chamber of Commerce that no route through the Military Reservation cau !w had because of building operations j;olng on. Thi is not as a matter of fact a cor rect statement concerning this import ant matter. Chairman F. A. Fisher on tlw Good Roads Committee of the Cham tar of Commerce when sect about the matter yesterday afternoon stated that the road could be built just the same aa ) originally planned. It was his idea and the idea of his committee if possible to build the road through Fort Stevens in order to accommodate the army officer who live there also, because the fort ia , matter of groat interest in thia section and would have been one of the Bights alone this way. But now that the road can not be built through the reserva tion but will have to be built around the outside of it. There will be no par ticular inconvenience to anybody by the following out of this plan in the building of this road excepting to the officers of Fort "Stevens who very much regret that the road can not be built so that they! will be on the important highway leading to the outer world. Colonel White however has examined this mat ten carefully and at the present time does not see how the road can be built through the reservation but it may again be repeated that this does not- preclude the beach road and the Clatsop County Court with Judge Trenchard presiding lrill as usual do all within their power to assist the Chamber of Commerce in carryinsr out this proposed good road and making it an an assured reality for the coming summer. SAD DROWNING. James Edwards Lost From the Dredger W. S. Ladi Near Ft Stevens. James Edwards, engaged On the dredge W. S. Ladd aa assistant engineer, lost hia life yesterday by drowning. Just how the accident happened is not known, thoueh it is thought that he fell over board while engaged in his duties, aboard the boat. While the vessel was abreast of Fort Stevens, and the crew at lunch, Edwards 'went to tiohten some nuts on the suction pipe on the port side and was not missed until he waa neeued ai the pumps, of which he had cnarge, when he could not be found. A thorough search of the boat was made but no sign of bini was evident, and the officers and crew sorrowfully concluded that he was lost, and, after drifting around on an unsuccessful search for the unfor tunate man the boat headed for port. Edwards had been employed on the Ladd for over sis years and was popular with the officers and members of the crew as well "as in Astoria. He was native of Scotland, aged 38 years, 2U years of which haa been spent in this country. A sad feature of the accident is tliat Mr. Edwards was to have been married, at Christmas time, to Miss Emma Wag ner, who is . now at her home in Drain, Oregon.' He was a member in good standing of tlie Eagles, his membership being in the Dalles Aerie, and that organization will be notified of his sud den taking off. A reward of $50 is offered, as advertised elsewhere in this issue, for the recovery of his body. o Up To Ne w Year's Day Since the sale seems to be so popular, Charts H.
