SCHOOL LAND DECISION.

The Local Land Office Cancels q Mineral
Land Application.
The local land Office yesterday rendered
q decision in a case in which Helena peo-
pie are interested. The title of it was
United States VS.. Mary Is. Sparkling, Frank
s. Lang, David Merritt and others. involv-
ing land in section 16, about three-quarters
of a mile from the Brosdwater hotel. The
defendants sought to obtain title to the
land under the mineral laws, and in 1887
made application for a patent. Helen p.
Clark, superintendent of schools, and A. G.
Logan, territorial superintendent of schools,
entered a protest to the granting of the
application, affirming that the ground was
not mineral, and should be reserved for
school purposes. The government took up
the case, had an Investigation, and last July
a hearing was had. The register and re-
ceiver decide that the land is non-mineral
in character, and holds the application of
the defendants for a patent for cancella-
ton.
F. S. Lang, one of the applicants, talking
of the decision yesterday, said the defend
ants would undoubtedly carry the matter
to the general land Office.

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 80 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 manufactur-
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, 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.

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.
at the mouths OF two rivers and bay,
lives 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 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
gentle slope to a height OF fifty to sew
enty-five 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 I;
and the sanitary conditions are all that
may be desired.

Aberdeen, on crays HaFbor.
; 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, Willie the distance between the
two points by water is fully FOUR HUN
DRIED MILES, or in other words, from
the time ship passes Grays lIarbor
north bound for Seattle or Tacoma, until
she passes again going son'b, she has
travelled OVER SEVEN HUNDRED
MILES. In addition to this, her captain
has paid ont nearly one thous and dollars
tow bill for being towal BOTH WAYS from
the Straits OF Juan de Fuca TO Seattle or
Tacoma and back to the ocean. Whereas.
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 ut tie ZANE
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.

The Railroad Situation.
Aberdeen, Natures Metrop-
oils Of Southwestern
Washington.

It is one of the wonders of western de-
yelopment 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-
MIXING the fact that with the filling up
and development of the new state, there
mus. 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 IT sources 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, speculator or home seeker
and mechanic, than this thriving city at
the head Of Grays Harbor.

Aberdeen and Her Fisheries.

Another industry of principal imror-
lance here is the fishing interests OF the
region. Grays Harbor and all its tribu-
tary streams are stocked with millions Oh
salmon and other fish. The catching
and packing Of these fish is ore ca the
thriving industries of Aberdeen, which e
constantly increasing in importance and
IN the amount of its output. Banks OF
halibut, cod and other deep sea isii ara
located just off the north of the Harbor,
and as this is about the only port between
the Columbia river and Puget S.o"a t
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.

Railroads.

The best evidence Of Aberdeen's inn
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. X. This latter road, in
turn, is striving to the limit Of its 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 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
0. & 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

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.
TIE chief feature of the winter is rain,
but there is always an intermission Of
pleasant weather, lasting for month
sometimes. These wet seasons are not

are, as a rule, gentle showers, working

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 nealthfulness OF the Pacific North

Water Works.

The Aberdeen Water Company re-
Gently put in a water plant for fire pro-
lection, at cost Of SIS, 900. 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 u bonded indebt-
e;iness of sj5, 900, the money to be spent
in putting in a frst-class plant ior both
fire protection and domestic use. An
additional IS ,0e0 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 fay lrable terms
xere c:7.red by the owner of an excellent
ss-DDa'y within the city limits.
