Change of Address. 
Subscribers who are leaving the 
shore will confer a great favor upon 
the proprietors of the Breeze uf they 
well send in their winter address, either 
Zo our Manchester or to our Beverly 
office, as soon as they know when they 
are to leave. 
This will greatly factlitate matters, 
and will insure a prompt continuation 
of the paper at your new address. 
Contest for District Attorney. 
The contest for district attorney 
seems fo be growing more interesting 
daily. The strength of Haskell’s 
candidacy is not only causing worry 
to the Peters’ faction but is giving 
them a great deal of anxiety. 
Senator Derbyshire seems to have 
the best foothold in Lawrence, and it 
is expected that he will be able to turn 
over the Lawrence delegation to Has- 
kell. 
But here comes the hitch. If Der- 
byshire can turn over the Lawrence 
delegation to Haskell, the latter should 
in turn stand for Derbyshire in Bever- 
ly for the office of county commission- 
er. But the Beverly politicians, many 
of them, while in favor of Haskell, 
want to split the ticket and vote for 
Haskell and Bates. 
As a matter of fact, there is no real 
preference for Bates in Beverly, ex- 
cept that he stands in with the county 
ring, so to speak, as does Peters. Bev- 
erly is for Haskell because they know 
him and know his qualifications for the 
office, and they leave the ring to this 
extent, but seem disinclined to stray 
farther. 
If they really mean to stand by 
their fellow townsman, Mr. Haskell, 
they will not insist upon the split 
ticket. They will, on the contrary, 
throw their strength for him in every 
way possible. 
The Beverly Republican club voted 
unanimously to stand by Haskell. 
Let every member who was present at 
that meeting stand by his vote in act 
as well as in word. 
Wooded Drives. 
Wooded drives is a subject that 
should always be of great interest to 
North Shore residents. For it is in 
her attractive driveways, her roads, 
her beaches, her woods and such that 
the North Shore holds her wealth. 
These are her stock in trade. 
We have heard considerable this 
summer about building new wood 
driveways between Essex and Man- 
chester and Beverly Farms. Yet we 
have heard of no specific move, or 
have seen no specific plans on the 
matter. 
The country back of Manchester 
and Beverly Farms surely merits, at 
least, thoughts of some day having 
roadways built between its wooded 
hills, over its picturesque brooklets, 
and around its little ponds and attrac- 
tive lowlands. 
That there is a big chance for some 
improvements in this direction is 
plainly obvious. 
Rich though the North Shore may 
be in her beautiful beaches and roads, 
her ocean scenery and country drives, 
there are scores and scores of beauti- 
ful things, picturesque scenes, within 
our very hands, as it were, and yet 
hidden from our eyes because of the 
fact that access to them is almost 
unobtainable. 
In the woods between Manchester 
and Essex there are some of the finest 
wooded hills and lowlands and attrac- 
tive sites for summer homes any- 
where within the limits of the North 
Shore. Yet these arealmost unknown 
to the average resident. As long as 
these hills are kept from sight, hidden 
from view because of the difficulty in 
reaching them, the town is the loser. 
Though we would not advocate the 
outlaying of a big sum of money in 
building these roads right away, we do 
think it would be a step in the right 
direction to open up some more of 
our wooded property to the view of 
prospective property owners. 
JOTTINGS. 
Still another week gone and no 
action has been taken on that play- 
ground at the Farms. It has been 
reported that the committee appointed 
to look into the matter got lost in one 
of the big ruts in the road on the way 
down. 
The political pot is fast steaming up 
to the boiling point. 
And town politics, even, is begin- 
ning to show slight signs of life. We 
have heard of several movements on 
foot in Manchester the past week 
which may, later on, mould itself into 
“town hall politics.” 
What delightful weather for golf 
and politics. The ball is rolling in 
both. 
TROLLEY TOURS. 
No. 5—Along the New Hampshire Boundary. 
BY CHESTER’ F. STILES; 
The Merrimac valley offers some 
of the prettiest trolley riding in New 
England Already the maples are 
taking on their autumnal dress, and 
the apple orchards are bowing down 
with their heavy loads. 
We suggest to the trolley wanderer 
that he plan a trip to Newburyport, 
starting in early season so as to ride 
without undue haste. At Newburyport 
take the car for Salisbury Beach and 
ride along the scene of Whittier’s 
‘Tent on the Beach”’ to the connec- 
tion for Hampton. If the start be 
early enough, the tourist may slip 
across, to Hampton Beach, over the 
long street railway bridge and see a 
bit of this noted resort. 
We take at Hampton the commo- 
dious cars of the New Hampshire 
Traction Company, standing so high 
above the ground that a double-deck 
running-board is necessary. Our route 
is across the Hampton marshes and 
the bridge before mentioned to Ames- 
bury, the city of the carriage industry. 
Lake Attitash, of which Whittier 
wrote, is.passed on our left. Looking 
backward is Poe Hill, from the sum- 
mit of which one can look oceanward 
to the Isles of Shoals and north over 
the hills of New Hampshire into 
Maine. Whittier’s birthplace and the 
scene of “ Snowbound”’ is southward 
in Haverhill, and may be reached by 
a change of cars at Haverhill, or b 
changing at Amesbury for Haverhill. 
The terminus of the line at the 
square in Haverhill is close to the 
Merrimac. If one cares to stop over, 
there is a beautiful hitle park on the 
Merrimac, close by, and the monu- 
ment to Hannah Dustin is but a few
