Notwithstanding the vastness OF the
undeveloped resources Of this region, and
in spite of the disadvantages Of poor com
munication, both OF which should tend to
hamper SO materially her growth and
progress. Aberdeen's superior location
was too obvious to be overlooked, and
pioneer enterprise has established itself
here. Five years ago the site on which
the city is built was covered with timber.
Eighteen months ago we had 800
people; to-day the city has population
of more than 1000. 1t is the manufactur-
ing, commercial and financial center of the
great Grays Harbor BASIN Here have
been attracted cluster of industries that
have an aggregate payroll OF 5000 per
month. These consist of four saw mills,
three canneries, boiler, machine-shops
and foundry, sash and door plant, plan
ing mill, ship-yard, brewery, clear manu-
factory, metal works, etI. Aberdeen is
at present the best lighted city OF it's size
in the state. Brilliant arc lights flash
out in the night from every corner. The
offices and stores are lighted by perfect
system of incandescent lights.

Where Cities Are Built.

Every man who comes on to Grays
Harbor is positive that there will be a
great city built here, but all are not sure
as to where it will be located. To any
man who may be doubtful on that point
we would say, take your map and see
where all great seaport towns are located.
Boston, on Massachusetts Lay, is built
just where the Charles River empties its
waters into the bay. Providence is at the
extreme head of Naragar sett Bay. New
York City is built just where Manhattan
Island splits the mouth of the Hudson
River. See where Philadelphia is on the
Delaware Baltimore on the Patapsco.
Savannah on the river of the same name.
Jacksonville, Florida, Mobile on the Mo-
bile Bay. New Orleans on the Missis-
sippi.. Buffalo at the east end of Lake
Erie, Toledo on the west. Detroit on the
Detroit River, Chicago on Lake Michigan.
Duluth on Lake Superior, and the loca-
ton Of every large seaport city of Europe
all prove the great city of Southwestern
Washington will be Aberdeen, at the head
of navigation on Grays Harbor.
ACCOMPLISHED FACTS.

Aberdeen and Her Fisheries

Another industry of principal impor-
lance here is the fishing interests of the
region. Grays Harbor and all it's tribu-
tary streams are stocked with millions of
salmon and other fish. The catching
and packing OF these fish is one Of the
thriving industries of Aberdeen, which is
constantly increasing in importance and
III the amount of its output. Banks of
halibut, cod and other deep sea fish are
located just off the north of the Harbor,
and as this is about the only port between
the Columbia river and Puget Sound, it
certainly must be the great deep sea fish
market of the North Pacific Coast. The
mart for these fish is from the coast to
Minnesota. Preparations are already
under way to develop this very impor-
tant food supply.

at the mouths of two rivers and bay,
gives Aberdeen deep water frontage not
equaled by any city on the Sound or in
the state, and make it natural
location for the building Of q city.
The business portion of the town is situ-
ated on level apron of land running
back from the river for distance Of four
or five blocks, where it begins to rise by
a gentle slope to height Of fifty to sew
enty-iive feet above the water line; there
it maintains level plateau for an indefi-
mite distance back, where the fine resi-
dence portion OF the city will undoubtedly
be built. From. it a splendid view may
be obtained of the valley and the harbor
ana the sanitary conditions are all that
may be desired.

Climate.

Hot nights are unknown, while during
the day the temperature rarely ranges
above ninety degrees, this mitigation be-
ing the effect OF the cool, fresh breeze OF
the sea, that fans the western shore Of
the state.
The chief feature OF the winter is rain,
but there is always an intermission Of
pleasant weather, lasting for month
sometimes. These wet seasons are not
drenching downpours Of heavy rain, but
are, as rule, gentle showers, working
much good to the soil and fitting it for
the reception OF seed.
In the coolest weather the mercury
rarely touches zero, while snow rarely
remains on the ground, and then only in
the unexposed quarters, for more than a
few weeks at q time; indeed, heavy fall
of snow is rather the exception than the
rule. In the summer months the land is
famed by gentle breezes, waited from the
ocean, while heavy gales and violent
storms are unknown. The temperate and
genial climate, especially in it's freedom
from the sudden variations which prevail
elsewhere, has much to do with the gen.
eral healthfulness of the Pacific North
west.
Southwestern Washington is favored
with climate Of remarkable equability.
The average temperature for spring is 81
degrees, for summer 81 degrees, for au-
tumn SO degrees, and for winter 38. de-

The position of Aberdeen could not be
excelled for combining water front bust
ness property and sites for good homes
all in the space of three square miles. In
front OF the city flows the Chehalis, the
largest river in Southwestern Washing

west. AT this point, the river is about
1900 feet wide and carries depth OF
from 20 to rs feet of water at low tide for
four miles, The Wishkah now comes
down from the north with depth of 30
feet at low tide and width of 25O feet,
ana flows directly through the city and
mlngles its waters with those of the Che
nails, which, in turn, merges itself into
Gray's Harbor, about one mile below the
mouth of the Wishkah. This junction,

AT PUBLIC EXPENSE.

We enquired last week if Sir. Flow
er, of West Superior, was going to
Washington to spend the winter at
his own or the public expense. 1t
seems that the tax-ridden people are
to foot the bills of the gentleman who
is to rusticate at the national capital
for few weeks. Our mayor appoint
ed committee few days ago to set
tie that question and also to define his
duties. The committee reports that
his line of action, Or policy, shall be to
work for a better mail service, better
harbor lights, government building,
an Indian school, local harbor improve
ments, improvements at st. Nary
river, and any other matters that may
be referred to him by the council
This last clause looks very innocent,
but it means much. 1t means that
Mr.. Flower, the city statistician, is to
to go to Washington to work early
and late, using whatever means may
seem to him best adapted to win con
gressmen over to the idea that a cen
trail canal through Minnesota Point is
4 necessity to the commerce Of Lake
Superior and the farther development
OF West Superior. Plainly and simply
stated this is Mr.. Flowers mission to
ashington, and the committee re-
commended that the sum Of 800 be
appropriated from the public treasury
to defray his expenses, and the council
at its meeting Tuesday evening voted
the amount without a protest that we
have heard of. If the council has a
right to vote public money to send Mr..
Flower to Washington to work for
legislation favorable to the W est End
of the city. it has the right to send
man from the East End of the city to
watch Mr.. Flower that he does not
betray his trust, or work to the detri-
ment of the East End of the city, and
If it can send these two, it can send a
dozen whenever a committee of its
own appointing, may decide that in
its Judgment it is necessary to send
twelve men to Washington to adyo-
cate our claims or ask for an appropri-
alton If there is anything in the city
charter to permit such use of the
public funds, the charter should be
amended at the first opportunity. The
people do not care to foot the bills OF
