SHOP EARLY.

Only about twenty shopping days
remain before Christmas and the
congestion of shoppers at the stores
already betokens the crush and jam
incident to the Christmas holidays
OF late years pastors and press
have urged to good effect the desira-
bility of shopping early for Christmas
and in accordance with this idea the
merchants have cooperated by laying
aside articles for their patrons until
they wished to remove them from the
stores.
BY following this method, clerks
are able to give better service, buy
ers get better selection and greater
satisfaction rebounds to everyone by
escaping the unnecessary and dis
agreeable shopping crowds that grow
greater as the time before Christmas
diminishes. To buy early is hui
name. sensible and reasonable.

TELEPHONE vs.. TELEGRAPH.

When manufactures finds that

chnery 10 reduce il. The railroads
are governed by the same motive in
the approaching substitution of the
telephone for the telegraph in hand
ling trains The cost of service has
been increased by the federal legisla-
ton shortening the hours of the tel
egraphers they employ 1t becomes
necessary to hire more operators. 1t
takes no special training to handle
telephone. To put in telephones
for telegraph instruments would be
equivalent to employing unskilled
and cheaper labor instead of skilled
labor.
This change though prompted by
economic considerations. will not
mean any impairment of service. 9th
erwisc the American Railway asso-
citation would not have recommended
it, 1t says that the movement of
trains by telephone will be more eff
cient as we'll as less expensive. One
may ask why the roads did not be-
gin making the change some time
ago ne only reason has been con
se1Natism the slowness of railroad
men 10 abandon a system they had
grown up i'll. But for the sudden in
cre..se in the cost of telegraph SER
vice they might not have abandoned
ii for years.
The telephone has been tested suf-
ticiently to prove its merits All that
can be said against it is that there
is no record OF orders given by it.
That has had no ad consequences
on the roads where ii has been used.
The superiority of the telephone is
manifest. 1t puts train dispatcher
and engineer or conductor in direct
communication The third party. the
telegraph operator. is eliminated. So
is the telegram. curt, and sometimes
needing explanation. Any obscurity
in an order by telephone can be clear
ed up in minutes talk. Often five
minutes conversation by telephone
would accomplish more than half an

The change from telegraph to tele-
phone will be gradual. The railroad
telegraph operator will not be sud
denly thrown ont of job. But he
had better get ready for some other
kind of business before he is thrust

SHOrLD SHOW THE GOODS.

What the corn palace and fat stock
show are to the leading industries of
the middle west. the National Apple
show is to the leading industry of
Washington. Spokane deserves
credit for getting up the greatest ma
tional show ever held. The apples
OF the northwest lead in all the
worlds great markets. To Spokane
belongs the credit, through this great
National Apple snow, in challenging
the worlds attention 10 our leading
industry.
Washington will win the prizes, of
course. and it is to be hoped that
Yakima will stand in the front If
Yakima does not win. it will be be-
cause of the negligence of local or
chardists. for in the extent of orchard
lands and in the excellence of color
ing. in keeping quality. in elegance
OF pack. no section outranks the Yak
ina valley.
The trouble with Yakima is that
orchardists feel that the reputation
of the valley has been established !:
that no further advertising is need
ed. and therefore they are resting
on their oars This is a mistake.
Judged by the prosperity of local
fruit growers and by the growth of
that city North Yakima is clearly
leading all other localities. But why
not strive for greater things9 Why
not show the world at Spokane that
Yakima has the goods?

JUDGE WHITSON DID RIGHT.

Only few of the applicants for

Judge Whitson Monday afternoon
succeeded in qualifying. In major

American government and institu-

gree of intelligence. In republican

SEARCHING FOR

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. Al
though numerous boats have patroll-

Police Buggy. who mysteriously dis

Up to late hour tonight the Pa
troll and other boats with search

feared the body has been carried out
to sea by the time The police COM
missioners met this morning with
Mayor Taylor and after an execu-
tive session appointed A. d. Cutler,
president of the commission, as act
ing chief of police. pending the APP
pointment of an active head of the
department.
The new chief spent the greater
part of the day in the investigation
of the circumstances surrounding
the disappearance of Buggy. At 1870
O'Clock the commissioners held an
other meeting. but the board gave
out no statement. Commissioner
Cutler will probably remain at the
head of the department only a few
days. but as yet there has been little
discussion as to the appointment of
the successor to Buggy.

ABOUT THE PROPOSED CHANGE

The move to change the citys
class no doubt originated with men
who had only the best of intentions
and were sincere in the belief that it
was necessary in order that the
health of the community might be
protected But their investigation
of the need of this step evidently
stopped just little short.
1t may be readily granted that a
baby ought not to wear sswaddling
clothes" when 1t is old enough to
wear something else becomingly. but
at the same time. If the money for
the running OF the new outfit might
be devoted to some other purpose
more essential for the good of the
baby. there need be no haste about
shedding the long skirts for knee
breeches.
The real situation is that as far as
increased powers are concerned, the
city will not benefit one whit from
the change Every power enjoyed
BY city Of the second class may be
exercised under the present system.
This being true. II is not only use
less but actual folly to create an adj
ditional salary budget of $4,000 next
year when there are a great many
things which the municipality needs
