The day of cheap watches has passed. The
country is flooded with them. The GAZETTE,
abreast with the times, has resolved that every
one OF its subscribers shall have placed within
his reach a watch of the best kind madeleine
that he will be proud to wear and have comfort
in using.
Tim- was when the stop-w watch, with the split
second hand, used for timing horses on race
tracks, cost many hundred dollars and could be
afforded by only few. Time was when gold

out of the range of possibilities OF nearly all
men. The decrease in the cost of manufacture
of movements and the invention of three sheet
NOW brings both these within the means OF
many, and almost to the price which is charged
by swindlers for the gold washed limitations
and brass counterfeits of common watches. The
genuine gold filled reinforced cases,
patented and made only by half dozen manu-
facturers, are the same for use and wear as solid
gold cases and may be SO considered and treated.
Even the costliest watches on the market now
have them, on account of their greater strength
Five points of interest to subscribers:
l. A stop watch, sweep second, each second
split into ffths. for timing horses, races, etc.
2. A gold or silver case, the gold case to be
steel reinforced, to give strength and durability
Honest metal and no plating, with l5years guar
antee for wear.
3. The latest improvements of every kind in
winding, setting, opening, etc.
4. A guarantee of one year from the maker OF
the movements.
5. As beautiful design as could be made, for
subscribers only.

The face of this watch Is precisely the same IS
that of the gold watch and the movement is pre-
cisely the same. The difference between tbs
two watches is only in the case. The latter is
of oxidized silver, acid eaten, very neat and
quaint.
The movement ST these watches is identical, It
Is the quick train, with straight line lever es-
capemenl, with direct acting hand set that
permits accurate setting, and will not allow this
hands to move out Of position while setting. IN
the sweep second movement the
the second hand is gun direct from the move
ment train, insuring perfect motion, while the
dial train and HANDS are run By n friction pinion
from sids center. This gives all the advant-
ages in time keeping qualities of the most deli
cately adjusted and expensive movement.
Each watch is put up in q neat box padded, to
carry it safely through the mails. In the boz
are directions for setting the hands and regu-
lating the watch, with the name OF the person
at the factory who tested and packed it.
Orders must give the name, postofice, county

Aberdeen, Yesterday, to-day
and Tomorrow.

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 manufacture
ing, commercial and financial center Of the
great Grays Harbor basin. Here have
been attracted cluster of industries that
have an aggregate payroll OF $4,000 pei
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, etc. 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.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1890-10-30
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 NJ ~ and see
where all great seaport town. are located.
Boston, on Massachusetts Bay, 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

ter for the ChehaIiS VAL
ley and the Great Crays
Harbor Basin.

The position of Aberdeen could not be
excited 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 Chelalis, the
largest river in Southwestern Washing
ton, and one of the largest in the North
west At this point, the river is about
1000 feet wide and carries a depth of
from rs to rs feet of water at low tide for
four miles. The Wishkah now comes
down from the north with depth Of 80
feet at low tide and width of 250 feet,
and flows directly through the city and
mingles its waters with those of the Che
halls, which, in turn, merges itself into
Gray's Harbor, about one mile below'the
mouth Of the Wishkah. This junction,

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 interm.sson OF
pleasant weather, lasting for month
sometimes. These wet seasons are not
drenching downpours Of heavy rain, but
are, as a 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 a time; indeed, a 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 its 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 So
degrees, for summer 81 degrees, for au-
tumn So degrees, and for winter 3S de-
grees.

Aberdeen and Her Fisheries.

Another industry Of principal impor-
lance here is the fishing interests Of the
region. Grays Harbor and all its 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 city.
The business portion of the town is stu
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-fve 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
and the sanitary conditions are all that
NAV be desired.

sources OF TINS country are so vast, we are
not among those who point only to the
future, in spite of the disadvantages OF
poor communication which have hamper
