Aberdeen, on crays Hasbor
The Gateway to an Empire.

The most casual glance at any map
showing the coast line Of Washington will
show that Grays Harbor is the natural
gateway to the new state Of Washington.
1t will show that from Aberdeen to the
head of Puget Sound it is but forty miles
by rail, while the distance between the
two points by water is fully FOUR HUN
DRIED MILES, or in other words, from
the time ship passes Grays Harbor
north bound for Seattle or Tacoma, until
she passes again going south, she has
travelled OVER SEVEN HUNDRED
MILES. In addition to this, her captain
has paid out nearly one thousand dollars
tow bill for being towed BOTH ways from
the Straits Of Juan de Fuca to Seattle or
Tacoma and back to the ocean. where's,
with the completion of railroads already
under construction, that ship will come
into Grays Harbor, get her freight, which
can be brought to her from the wheat
belt Of Eastern Washington at the SAME
RATE 1T WILL BE LAID DOWN ON
THE SHORES OF PUGET SOUND,
because there can be no question but that
Aberdeen as acoastwise port will be made
common point with Seattle, Tacoma
and Portland on all through rate sheets.

mingles its waters with those OF the Che
halls, which, in turn, merges itself inte
Gray's Harbor, about one mile below the
mouth of the Wishkah. This junction,
at the mouths OF two rivers and bay,
gives Aberdeen deep water frontage mol
equaled by any city on the Sound or IN
the state, and make it a natural
location for the building of city.
The business portion of the town is stu
ated on a level apron OF land running
back from the river for distance OF four
or five blocks, where it begins to rise by
gentle slope to height OF fifty to sew
enty-ive 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 splendid view may
be obtained OF the valley and the harbor
and the sanitary conditions are all that
may be desired.

The Railroad Situation.

1t is one of the wonders of western de-
velopment and civilization that Seattle,
Tacoma and Spokane Falls, have become
household words from the Rocky Noun
tains to the Atlantic coast, and Aber-
deem, a city that has local resources equal
to either of them, and one whose loca-
ton as seaport furnishes advantages far
superior to the Sound cities, should, up
to eighteen months ago, be comparatively
unknown. Such was the case until new
blood, new money and new men, recog-
nizing the fact that with the filling up
and development of the new state, there
must be great coast wise city on the
shores OF Grays Harbor, and that Aber-
deems magnificent location at the juno
ton of two rivers and at the head of nav
igation would easily place her far in adj
vance Of any point or city in Southwest
ern Washington, located themselves there
and worked industriousIy and intelli-
gently to make known to the general
public, the tremendous resources of the
Grays Harbor country. The result Of
their work is that no city in the North
west is better thought Of or is attracting
more careful attention from the investor,
business man, Spectator or home seeker
and mechanic, than this thriving city at
the head OF Grays Harbor.

New YORK, Nov. 26.-A dispatch was
received yesterday from Baltimore an
nouncine that George III. Beiser, OF Brook

the day the temperature rarely ranges

the state.
The chief feature Of the winter is rain,
but there is always an intermission OF
pleasant weather, lasting for month

are, as a rule, gentle showers, working

In the coolest weather the ines3t

the unexposed quarters, for more than a
few weeks at 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 it's freedom
from the sudden variations which prevail
elsewhere, has much to do with the gem

Railroads..

The best evidence of Aberdeen's i'm
portance as an ocean port and short-line
cutoff to the sea, is that offered by the
efforts that the Northern Pacific are max
ing to reach this city in advance of the
o. & w. T. r. r. This latter road, in
turn, is striving to the limit of it's powers
to outstrip its formidable rival in the
race to the head of navigation on Grays
Harbor.
These two roads have between them
some four thousand men at work between
Tacoma, on Puget Sound; Centralia, at
the head OF the valley, and this city. The
N. P. r. R. having bought the Puget
Sound & Grays Harbor railroad, will be
able to make rail connection with Port
land, Tacoma and the east, via Centralia
and Montesano, as soon as Jan. /. AT the
present time they are at work with large
force of men in South Aberdeen clearing
for freight yards, warehouses, docks and
passenger depot. In conjunction with
the South Aberdeen Company, they are
erecting a large number of buildings,
both for business and residence purposes
They also have large force Of men at
work on the north side Of the river build
ing their lines in to the city proper The
O. & W. T. R. r., better known as the
Hunt Road, will probably reach Aber-
deem about next spring with
their train service. This road will NO
doubt be used by the Union Pacific for
its ocean outlet upon the completion Of
the latter road from Portland to Puget
Sound.
~ These three roads are the most import
ant ones now seeking to reach the
Grays Harbor country; although there

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 tha Charles River empties its
waters into the bay. Providence is at the
e st.elne head of Naragarsett Bay. New
York City is built just where Manhattan
Island splits the mouth of the Hudson
River. See where Philadelphia is on the

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 a bonded indebt.
edness Of $65 900, the money to be spent
in putting in first-class plant for both
fire protection and domestic use. An
additional So 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 all excellent
supply within the city limits.

There are five 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 on the
Northwest coast.

him on the same day: One to repeal

other to pay to the democrat who Is
