LWANAMAKER IS DEAD AT AGE OF 85 Man Who Began Life as Errand Boy Dies as Noted Merchant Prince and Philanthropist; III Two Months Wifh Cold. Philadelphia, Pa.. Dec. 12. I. N." S.) John Wanamaker, merchant prince and philanthropist, owner of the Wa namaker stores in New York, Phila delphia and Paris, died early today at his home, here following an illness lasting more than two months. High hopes had been entertained for Mr. Wanamaker's '" recovery following a marked improvement in his condition re-emiy. - He was 85 years old and this is be lieved to have rendered recovery jm- possible. Death was due to a persistent heavy cold which defied all attempts-of the three attending physicians to remedy It. About a week ago. Mr. wana maker's condition became critical ami it was reported that , he had been greatly weakened py violent fits of coughing during the night. RALLIED A XII RELAPSKD The following day, however, he ral lied and steadily improved until the sudden relapse of early today which ended hie life. He was taken ill originally at his home in the Cheltorf hills, "Linden- hurst." He is survived by his son. Rodman Wanamaker, member of the Wana maker firm, and special deputy police commissioner of New York ; and two daughters, Mrs. Barclay H. Warbur- ton. vice" president of the Pennsyl vania Republican state committee and wife of Pnblic Director of Welfare of Philadelphia, and Mrs. Norman Mao Leod.

Jewell be designated . as a state highway, representative of -the commanittes -named wHl' appear before the state highway commission at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning in Port land.,, . ;,- , Among the members of the delega tion will be James W, "Mott, Astoria city attorney and - Clatsop rtpresen- tatrve-elect ; William Gratke of the Astoria Chamber ' of iCornmerce 'and Mayori White- of Vernonla. ; The first motive is to -promote trade 'with As-. toria- and stimulate the rebuilding of that'city. - wii.fi'1'1- ' TO RELIEYE COSGFSTIOJf It is also, claimed that to adopt the interior road as -a state' highway And improve -it would 'materially -relieve the dangerous congestion on the krwer Cplumbia river .highway "during the nine months of the year when' traffic is. heavy. Vemonia, - It Is said, would be considerably ;tnef lted. That - town has several new-, industries. Including the Central ..Coal Jt .. Coke . company, which is developing about 30,000 acres containing . about a billion and a half feet of timber. But. while it .has. new railroad,' It fhas not even a gravel road connecting , it' -with' the. outside world. Thei adoption of the .Interior road as a state highway wit also be urged as completing a highly scenic loop embracing Portland and Astoria at ' Its extremities. The interior road possesses not only scenic features, but taps a rich timber and agricultural country whose. ' development . would represent large industrial value. Another matter to be brought before the commission is the completion Of tne Medrora-crater Lake road. There yet remain . approximately 20 miles to grade and gravel before the road is finished The estimated cost of the uncompleted work, is about $300,000 in which the federal government will be asked to share. It ia proposed to ex tend the work over a two-year oeriod. The commission will open bids on a number of projects Involving the com pletion of short, unfinished gaps on the Pacific highway- in Linn county and the paving of the Columbia river high way. through the town of Rainier. Other projects en, which bids have been called are the' graveling of the CherryvlUe-Sandy section of the ML Hood Loop highway in Clackamas county and the grading and surfacing "of the Goshen-Lowell ' and' the - Gold- son-Cheshire sections in Lane county, The commission will .also continue mapping out a program, for next years construction.. , Says Phone Co.
