SALMON CNWERLES.

The oldest industries of Aberdeen are
it's salmon cannerles, of which there are
three. One of these, during the last year,
on account of the rapid growth Of the
city, has found its property so valuable
that it has sold its site, but will rebuild
before the canning season in more re-
mote part Of the city. The yearly output
of the three canneries is about Al 900
cases, representing value Of $4,000.
Other established industries include a
well equipped steam laundry, cigar fac
tory, employing five or six men, soda
works and many others.

HEALTH or THE CITY.

On account of the mild and even tenn
perature of this country and the salt
breezes from the sea that continually
keep the atmosphere fresh and pure, its
remarkable health has become pro-
verbal.
The city health officer reported for the
year 1890, as follows: Number IF deaths,
20. The causes OF death were drowning,
4; accident in logging camp, i; suicide,
L; cerebro-spinal meningitis, 1; scarlet
fever, L; cholera infantum, l i; peritonitis
1; local causes, 10.
Estimating our population at $500, the
death rate shows concusively the health
fulness of the country.

YARD.

There is no industry in Aberdeen better
located than her ship-yards. With the
finest and longest ship timbers in the
world, with well-equipped foundry and
machine shop, and plenty of deep water
in which to launch her vessels, this city,
in time, is destined to become one. of the
largest ship-building points in the coun-
try. Last September, from this ship
yard was launched large three-masted
schooner, the ~. M. Weatherwax,"
which is one of the finest vessels of the
kind on the coast. The building of this
vessel, for labor alone, distributed $40, 900.
Preparations are being made now for the
building of three ships the coming
season.

GRA VS. HARBOR.

About fifty miles north of the Column
bia river is the entrance to Grays harbor.
from the Pacific ocean, long known to
navigators as the most accessible and
81, l. harbor on the coast. The bar car
ries depth of from eighteen to twenty
three feet OF water at low tide, "".on
increases from ten to fifteen feet at high
tide. The entrance, or channel, isabout a
mile wide, and the extreme width OF the
harbor is twelve miles, gradually tapering
to a point at it's eastern end, where it is
met by the Chehalis and Wishkah rivers.
In the harbor there are three well defined
channels offering ample anchorage room
and merging into one broad, deep channel
or roadstead, near the head of the harbor
These channels are separated from each
other and from the shore proper by ex-
tensiye n dd flats up to the point of their
conveyance, where the volume OF water,
being more confined, has swept them
away, and the water is deep up to the
very shore line. At the head of the har-
Dor the channel is over two thousand
feet wide, carrying depth of 40 feet.
The expense of continuing this width and
depth TO the sea would not be great, and
no doubt will be done as soon as proper
surveys can be made on which an estimate
of cost can be based. Once these inn
provements are made, the flow of water
is sufficiently strong to keep it from shoal-
ing. The harbor is land-loCked, and the
shelter it affords from storms is complete.
During the past year over one hundred
sailing vessels and from iour to six steam
ers per month have crossed and re-crossed
the Grays harbor bar and not one acct
dent has occurred; in fact, during the
eight or ten years the harbor has been
used as deep water port not single
vessel has met disaster going or coming.
This harbor is three hundred and fifty
miles nearer San Francisco than are the
cities of Puget Sound, and six hundred
miles nearer Oriental ports than is San
Francisco. Tacoma, Washington, is about
OF the harbor, while the peninsula, around
which all vessels must go to reach that
city, is over one hundred miles north
of it; thus passenger from San Francisco,
bound for Tacoma saves more than
fiue hundred miles Of the distance now
travelled by coming into Grays harbor
and completing his journey by sixty miles
of rail- Distance is timr, time is money.
These facts are thoroughly understood W
the railroad companies, who are now hur-
rying to completion their lines to this
point. Their especial concern will be
the transportation of coal and wheat
from Central and Eastern Washington,
with which the haib has now direct
railroad communication. Nature has, in
deed, made here an unequaled gateway
to the ocean, to the commerce OF the
world. 1t only remains for men to i'm
prove the opportunity.

THE MOTOR LINE.

Aberdeen will soon be connected with
Hoquiam on the west by an electric motor
line. The Pacific Wheless Railroad Com.
pany have obtained franchises from both
cities, and filed bonds in the sum of five
thousand dollars that thc work on this
road will be begun at once and hurried
forward as fast as men and money can
push it until it is in operation. What
the road ill do for Aberdeen is already
felt, to some extent, in the increased in.

MANLIFA CTURLNG.

Chief among the industries of Aberdeen
is that of numbering, including logging,
saving and shipping. Not less than five
hundred men are employed in the woods
in this vicinity. Four mills are in opera
ton with combined daily capacity OF
100000 feet. One of the mills is exclu-
sively devoted to the local trade, while
the largest share of the product of the
other three is shipped to California
and foreign ports. For several rea-
sons Aberdeen can and does supply
lumber cheaper than either the Columbia
or Puget Sound mills. AS shown else
where, our port charges, towage and other
items Of ships necessary expenses are
much less. Legs are more easily OBJ
tanned, and therefore much cheaper
than at the other ports mentioned.
The shipment abroad for the year 1890
was 33,00O,0O0 the home consumption
being about 100000 On the wharf this
lumber represented value of over $500, ;
900, which was principally paid out here
in wages. Other mills are being erected,
and the product will probably be doubled
during the year 1891.

Five churches afford accommodation to

WOOD-W0RK ESzABLLsHKEN7s

After numbering, the next important
industry is that of the sash, door, blind
and general woodworking and turning
establishments. Three of these are now
in profitable operation, and there is room
for more. The raw material is cheap and
the market convenient.
A factory for furniture exclusively
would be a most profitable investment
here, as has been amply proven by the
work in that line being done at the sash
factories. Two shingle mills and box
factory will be ready for business this
spring, and almost any number of indus
