The battlesbip fleet on it's voyage
around to the Pacific will be amply
provided with funds, which will be
entirely Of American gold. This is
not always the practice in the navy,
even on long voyages, but on this
particular cruise ii has been decided,
in view OF the more than ordinary
importance and size OF the fleet, that
gold be taken in order to insure reg
ular exchange in the local currency
OF the countries to be visited by the
fleet. Each captain will be provided
with a deposit somewhat larger than
those usually taken, and the fleet pay

amount, corresponding to the demands

AUTOMOBILE ROAD IS
NOT ABANDONED
ROAD WILL BE BUILT AROUND
MILITARY RESERVATION IN
STEAD OF GOING THROUGH AS
FIRST PROPOSED.

A published statement concerning the
proposed automobile beach road from
Fort Stevens to Seaside, says that the
road will have to be abandoned because
Colonel White has informed the Astoria
Chamber of Commerce thar no route
through the Military Reservation eau
he had because OF building operations
going on.
This is not as a matter of fact a cor
rect statement concerning this import
ant matter. Chairman +. A. Fisher on
the Good Roads Committee of the Cham
Der of Commerce when seer about the
matter yesterday afternoon stated that
the road could be built just the same as
originally planned, 1t was his idea and
the idea of his committee if possible to
build the road through Fort Stevens IN
order to accommodate the army officers
who live there also, because the fort IS a
matter of great interest in this section
and would have been one of the sights
along this way. But now that the road
can not be built through the resewa-
ton 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
ter 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
win as usual do all within their power
to assist the Chamber of Commerce in
carrying out this proposed good road
and making It an an assured reality fol
the coming summer.

SAD DROWNING.
lanes Edwards Lost From the Dredger
w. S. Lad. Near IT. Stevens.

James Edwards, engaged on the dredge
w. S. Ladd as assistant engineer, lost
his life yesterday by drowning. Just
how the accident happened is not known,
though 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 tighten some nuts on
the suction pipe on the port side and
was not missed until he was needed at
the pumps, of which he had charge
when he could not be found. A thorough
search of the boat was made but no
sign of him was evident, and the officers
and crew sorrowfully concluded that he
was lost, and, after drifting around on
an unsuccessful search for the untor-
tunate man the boat headed for port.
Edwards had been employed on the
Ladd for over six years and was popular
with the officers and members OF the
crew as well as in Astoria, He was q
native of Scotland, aged 3S years, y
years of which has been spent in this
country.
A sad feature of the accident is that
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 member in gooc
standing Of the Eagles, his membership
being in the Dalles Aerie, and thai
organization will be notified of his sud
den taking off. A reward of $50 II
offered, as advertised elsewhere in thu
issue, for the recovery of his body.
