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 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.

bile Bay. New Orleans ON the Missis-
sippi.. Buffalo at the east end of Lake

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. Abeideen'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 $50, 900 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, eto. Aberdeen is
at present the best lighted city Of its 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, the Shipping Cen
ter for the ChehaIis VAL
ley and the Great Crays
HarbOr Basin.

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
ton, and one of the largest in the North
west. At this point, the river is about
1000 feet wide and carries 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 a 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,
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1890-11-27

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 a natural
location for the building OF a city.
The business portion of the town is stu
ated on a level apron of land running
back from the river for a distance of four
or five blocks, where it begins to rise by
a gentle slope to height OF fifty to sew
enty-five feet above the water line; there
it maintains level plateau for an indefi-
mite distance back, where tha fine resi-
dence portion OF the city will undoubtedly
be built. From it splendid view may
be obtained of the valley and the harbor
and the sanitary conditions are all that
may be desired.

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 it's 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.

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 a 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 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 a. climate of remarkable equability
The average temperature for spring is so

ACCOMPLISHED FACTS.
Although the still undeveloped re-
sources OF this 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
ed Aberdeen's growth, the location was
too fine to be overlooked and pioneer en-
terprise has established itself here. Five
years ago the site on which Aberdeen is
built was covered with virgin forest
to-day it is the only city in southwestern
Washington. In the race for supremacy
it has SO far eclipsed all rivals that it is
to-day the manufacturing marketing and
money center Of the great Grays Harbor
Basin. A resume OF what has been done
in Aberdeen shows:
A Touring mill going up with capac-
ity of $50 barrels day.
Four saw mills running, with daily
capacity of $50, 1000 feet.
A foundry and machine shop kept con-
stantly busy.
A shipgle mill being constructed with
an annual capacity of %, 700, 900 shingles.
Two sash and door factories at work
employing 80 men.
A ship yard, at which a three-masted
schooner, with capacity of $4,000 feet
oflumber, is being built.
Three salmon canneries whose annual
output is 81, 1000 cases.
The best electrically lighted city in
Washington, a system Of fire protection
and water works. The electric light COM
pany have capital Of 5000, and two
dynamos, one for arc and one for mean
descent lights.
A pay roll Of $35 900 month.
Two first-class banks.
Aberdeen is the only place on thesHar-
Dor where wharves can be built along the
shore line.
Aberdeen has five times as much
wharfage front built as all other places on
the Harbor combined.
THE WAY TO ABERDEEN.
A reference to the map Of Western
Washington will show where Aberdeen
is located. There are four routes to reach
Aberdeen from the East; go to Tacoma
" Glraoia and take tie steawar Mutt
nomah from either place for Kamilchie,
where the steamer connects with the Pu-
get Sound & Grays Harbor railroad at
Montesano, close connections are here
made with the steamer that arrives at
at Aberdeen at 5 p. M, or take the Asto-
ria steamer at Portland for Astoria, then
cross to Ilwaco, take cars to Shoalwater
Bay, then steamer to North Cove, then
stage along ocean beach to Peterson's
Point, where the steamer will then bring
| You to Aberdeen; or you can take the
steamer Alliance at Portland and have
an ocean trip around and she will
land you at our dock; or you can take a
steamer once month or a sailing vessel
almost daily at San Francisco, and be
landed at Aberdeen.

Water Works.

The Aberdeen Water Company re-
Gently put in water plant for fire pro-
lection, at cost of $4,000. Pipes were
laid on all the principal streets with ten
and eight inch mains. A battery of Dow
pumps of large capacity furnish ample
power to throw four two-inch streams
over any block in the city. Early in
October the city voted bonded indebt-
edness of $65, 1000, the money to be spent
in putting in first-class plant for both
fire protection and domestic use. An
additional $15, 900 was also voted for the
purchase Of the present plant. When
the work is completed, Aberdeen's water
supply will be excelled by none in the
state, as particularly favorable terms
were offered by the owner of an excellent
supply within the city limits.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1890-11-27

There are four churches and good pub
lie schools.
At the present time the city is growing
very rapidly and people are coming in
faster than houses can be built for them.
New industries are being located, new
buildings going up, new banks and bust
ness houses are being opened and there
can be no doubt Of Aberdeen continuing
her present rapid advancement until she
becomes one of the largest cities OH the
Northwest coast.
