Not a Green Old Age.

Joe, the old black dog, who walks
about SO sedately on Heron street, has
reached the age when he leaves fighting
and frisking to the younger set; but
although he has lost some Of his physical
agility his mind is as clear as ever, as he
has recently shown. In all ways, a
clean and gentlemanly dog, Joe is espe-
cially an exquisite in the care of his
paws. As soon as he comes in from the
mud or sawdust he applies himself and
his tongue, toan elaborate toilet. A few
days ago he was busilv fixing up.
when his eve caught bunch of clean
long straw that had come around some
goods He had just reached the mani
cure stage of his toilet. He drew ont
several straws from he whisp and grave
ly holding them between his teeth, drew
the straws between the muddy toes. He
proceeded from one paw to the other
until he had gone the rounds, and seemed
much pleased to have found so good a
substitute for his overworked tongue.

Easter at the M. E. Church.

The Easter services at the Methodist
church last Sabbath were a grand sue
cess throughout. The decorations were
very handsome; perhaps the finest
Easter decorations ever presented in
the county. The decorating committee
spared no pains or trouble to make it
success. At the morning services
there was large audience present, COM
pletely filling the audience room. The
pastor presented the subject, "Christ,
the resurrection" The singing was OF a
higher order. In the evening the Easter
concert programme was presented, as
arranged by the pastor and choir, and
another very large audience was present
and every available space in the audito-
rum and lecture -oom was occupied.
The singing OF the choir was excellent.
Mrs. Wood, sang solo from Handel,
which was beautifully rendered and we'll
received. Mrs. Owen deserves great
credit for her able and untiring effor 6
in her work with the efficient choir OF
this church. The readings, recitations,
and talks were well rendered, and the
services were profitable and beautiful
throughout.

In speaking of boom towns, Editor
smalley, OF the No,fhstvst Magazine, re-
Gently said that the day had about
passed for such enterprises in Washing
ton, and that the coming summer would
witness about the last of them. He was
very confident of the future of the state.
He said that there were thousands of
persons in Kansas, Nebraska and the
Dakotas who had it in their heads to re-
move to this state, and they would do so.
He also said there was much inquiry
among eastern capitalists as to invest
ments in this country, and that great
influx of capital could be expected the
coming summer.

The price for which the California
legislature sold itself, in the last sena-
torial election, has been fixed at $3.50.
Comparatively speaking, this was small
price. 1t is said, while the lottery
amendment was before the Louisiana
senate, several votes were purchased for
S250,00 apiece. Quite sad commentary
on the California legislature-to think
that that respectable (?) body valued its
honor about one-thirty-thir5 as high as
individual carpet-baggers in the pelican
state valued theirs.

ABERDEEN A COAL DEPOT.
To Develop The Mines to the East

Claus Spreckles has an eye open for
the soft snaps in new country. Almost
every one has known in general way
that there was plenty of coal in The east
ern part OF the county, but no one had
the money to do the work required. A
couple Of Aberdeen rustlers were Just
getting things into shape to make q big
killing by securing large tract on Inde-
pendence creek, in the extreme south
eastern part of the county, and extend
ing over into Thurston, but before the
deal could be closed, the land, two thou
sand acres in all, was gobbled up by
Claus Spreckles, the sugar king, and
others, who will put in the money nee
essary to work the mines. The coal will
be brought to Aberdeen and shipped to
the California market.

OUR SPRING OPENING.
Buds of Promise Becom-
ing Flowers and Fruits
Of Reality.
PRESENT AND PROSPECTIVE.

For city OF $500 people, Aberdeen
simply has more work to the square inch
aud to the individual going on than any
other locality in state of Washington
1t is brim-full and running over.
ON THE NORTH SIDE.
On this side buildings are going ny
with rush. One can easily count in .
five Minutes walk Crum,ney's theatre,
the Gay building, Ieith's store, Yeprg'f
Heron street building, Cooks warehouse,
Beardsley's and Babcock's residencei,
and Phelps fats, rapidly on the grow.
But this class of building is not all.
Down at the shipyard, the steam barge
is swelling out its skeleton ribs, and will
soon be ready Tor dip into the water
and freight cruise around the Han Dor.
At the foundry, the machinery Tor the
fast steamer is getting ready t. leave the
pa,,sr plans and take the molds and
G:ished shape.
On Front street, the lumber piled M
stretches back almost sas far az the
human eve can reach" and the workmen
are putting together the bridge to span
the Wishkah.
The motor line is here to stay and go,
and contracts are being made Tor lumber.
Messrs. Allen and Hamilton belong to
the genus "Rustler' or Hustler" which
one has not vet been accurately deter
mined, but they are determined to have
the road competed within a year, and
have an excellent spur il The bonuses
they will win.
ON THE SOUTH SIDE,
One of the best pieces Of news for
southsiders wac the signing last
week of the coatract by the South Aber-
deem company and Messrs. Hoffman, of
1T. Louis. whereby the latter agree to
put in at once a shingle mill with a ca
paciiy of 1900 shingles day.
Another importan. move over the way
was securing the water right from Rusl
Minis - the supply OF water in section
twenty-five. Tnc water is fine and the
supply is ample for Il great city. Work
Ct putting in the water system has begun,
and in the near future promises first
class system of water works for South
Aberdeen.
The approaches for the bridge across
the Chehalis river have been completed,
and it is stated that the contract has
been let.
Plans and specifications are being
made for hotel that, when completed,
will undoubtedly fill along felt mAnt il
Aberdeen, and De credit 10 the city.
Aberdeen is stretching out her arms "a
the surrounding conntry. First. to Ho-
quiam, and now Broadway is comrlet d
to Cosmopolis.
Everything goes, and Aberdeen is the
center.

The fat, squatty ''skooknm" house on
g street belongs to an almost prehistoric
age, and is a disgrace to the city. Pris-
oners can have guns, knives, whisky, or
any other deadly weapon passed through
the bars, that are ON level with mans
head. Frequently prisoners have been
seen passing out their watches to be ex-
changed for something to make life more
attractive. A foul mouth drunkard in
jail is Just about as much of a public
nuisance as one on the streets.

Easter at the Congregational Church

Easter was observed in very appro-
pirate manner at the Congregational
church. Rev. John Damon, of Seattle,
grand prelate Of the Knights Templar of
the state, delivered most able sermon
on the Resurrection Of Christ" The
knights OF this post turned out in uni
form IN the prelate's honor, and pre-
sented quite pleasing appearance. The
service was well attended, and all pro-
nounce themselves well pleased with
Mr.. Damon. 1t is to be hoped he will
visit Aberdeen frequently in the future.
If he does he will meet with a VAIN
welcome each time, and is assured a
large and appreciatiye audience.

The question is often asked the Herald
(which way is your city going to grow ?"
The answer is no secret. and there need
be no hesitancy in telling it. Aberdeen
is arawinH south, across the river;
Aberdeen is growing east. across the
other river; Aberdeen is growing north,
up the last mentioned river; Aberdeen
is growing west, along the harbor TO
Hoquiam.

The Fairhaven Woyld in speaking of
acting Governor Laughton lapses into
the following verse:
He may wash his escutcheon
And rinse it at will,
But the scent of those vetoes
Will cling to it still.
Judging from the tone, we do not think
the "uphemerial" governors course is
entirely in harmony with the views Of
the Wov1d editor.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1891-04-02

Aberdeens hotel accommodations are
entirely inadequate to the city's needs.
Why don't her capitalists do something
in regard to this matter? People are
thronging in bv every steamer; the cree
ton of large hotel here would certainly
add to the general attractiveness of the
place, beside being paying investment
This matter, of paramount importance,
should receive the attention it deserves
at once.

APRIL FOOLISHNESS.

The frogs elasticity and jumping quail
tiles has made him harbinger OF spring.
For the last month his throat has sprung
80 day notes IN nightly concerts, that
are now due and met by the springtime.
His notes in the future might be cashed
by some enterprising individual starting
a frog ranch to supply the spring chicken
market.

Aberdeen has never had boom, and
does not want one. Improvement has
been steadily going OH and real estate
continuously increases in value. Her
citizens riglltfully have confidence in the
city's future; they only ask Il thorough
investigation of the resources, location,
harbor, etc., knowing that merit is bound
to win in the end.

chicken ranch on his property in the

supplying the Aberdeen trade fresh eggs
and young chickens. The venture will
doubtless prove remunerative, as it will
supply long felt want.

The new highway bridge Of the Wheel
ing Bridge Company, extending across
the main channel of the Ohio river at
this point, and connecting by another
link of steel and stone the major portion
Of the city and the rapidly-growing Sec
ton known locally as 1.-THE Island, is
at last practically completed, and this
morning it will be thrown open to the
tree and unrestricted use of the pedes-
trian public.
That it will be crowded all day, is
guessing on a ''dead sure" thing, and
that the structure will be universally
admired and approved is equally GER
tainty.
No tolls will be charged for foot pas
sengers until Monday morning, on and
after which time they will be expected
to pay regular rates of toll, and on
Tuesday morning the street cars will
begin making their regular trips to and
from the Island, Ktnaville and Mar
tins Ferry, and the bridge will be
available for vehicles Of all descriptions.
For the present the rates OF toll will
be practically the same as those charged
by the Wheeling and Belmont Bridge
Company, any modification being post
poned until better understanding of
the business and OF the volume of travel
has been arrived at.
Some small details of construction
have not been completed as yet, notably
the stairway at the crossing Of South
Front street, and one or two short pieces
of railing, and good deal OF painting
remains to be done, but these matters
are trifles in themselves, and will be car
ried on and completed with all the en-
ergy possible.
A tramp over the bridge, and a care
full inspection of it's details conVlnces
the observer that 1t is one Of the strong
est, largest and best bridges of its
class spanning the Ohio at any
point on its course. The chan
mel span, five hundred. and twenty
FIVE feet in length between centres OF
piers, and ninety feet above low water
mark, is the longest truss highway span
in this country, and the entire structure
is in keeping with it. One gets the full
effect of it's great size by standing
at the west end of the main span and
looking on the one hand, down the long
grade, eleven hundred and eight feet to
the abutment at Penn street, and on the
other side, seven hundred and eleven
feet to the toll house at the east end.
Another point of vantage affordng a
fine view, is at the extreme west end,
on South Penn street, where one looks
along the uniform grade Of nearly d
quarter of mile, the floor constantly
rising at the rate of about four feet in
one hundred along the whole extent.
The extreme length Of this grade makes
it look sleeper than it really IL,
