ST. /OSEPH'S XOSPIIZ.

One of the best and most important
institutions in Aberdeen is the hos:.ital
established here this last summer by the
Dominican sisters, OF New York, an in
stituton that is calculated to do great
good on account of the accidents sulting
from the many mills and logging camps
that are in contiaual operation in this
Grays harbor country.
The sisters at present occupy three
frame buildings, but tie plans have just
been completed for large and commo-
dious brick structure that will be built

HARBOR CHARGES AND LNSLR
.4NCE ON SHIPPING.

On account of the ease of entrance and
the accessibility of the harbor ports to
the ocean, the towage rates are much less
for a vessel bound from this city than for
one bound from Portland or ports on
Puget Sound. The towage rates on the
harbor for lumber laden vessel is fifty
cents per thousand feet of lumber for in
and out tow, and twenty cents per ton for
incoming freight, while the towage rates
on the Sound are much larger, as the dis
lance to be traversed is longer.
Tie insurance rates on lumber and
merchandise leaving the harbor ports are
likewise lower than the Sound rates on
the same cargoes. The highest rate from
Grays harbor to San Francisco being
three-quarters per cent. lower lower than
the lowest schedule rates from Puget
Sound, the lumber rates being also three
quarters per cent. in favor OF Grays
harbor.

THE CENTRAL CITY.

Aberdeen is the central city and the port
OF entry for the Grays harbor country
1t is situated at the apex OF that pear
shaped bay, where the waters of the har-
Dor are united with those OF the
Chehalis and Wishkah rivers, sixteen
miles from the bar The incorporate
limits of the city contain eleven square
miles Of land and water, lying on both
sides of the rivers just named and the
bay proper. The site is principally level,
but back of the level portion
rises gradually to an elevation of fifty
feet or more. The Wishkah river
divides the city little east of the center.
This river is navigable for some distance
for the largest ships and for steamers as
far as sixteen miles above its mouth.
Aberdeen was originally founded as a
mill town some seven or eight years ago,
hut it's commercial growth has been mat
terof only three years. The first corners
thought of little but the advantageous
location and exceptional natural facilities
for saving and shipping lumber.
but these two very important factors have
gone to make up location favorable for
other industries, and realization of this
has pushed the town into commercial
prominence and accounts for its recent
rapid growth.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1891-05-21

There is no industry in Aberdeen better
located than her shp-yards. With the
finest and longest ship tinbers IN inc
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
ward was launched large three-masted
schooner, the 81. NJ. Weatherwax, 7"
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.

FINANCIAL.

Aberdeen has two banking institutions,
the Aberdeen Bank and the First National
Bank The first is an incorporated state
bank, organized in 'S7, and within the last
month has been reorGnized with cap
ital stock Of $4,000, increasing the num-
ber of stockholders from two to five, and
adding to their regular banking business
4 savings bank department.
The First National Bank has paid up
capital Of $4,000, and its officers and
directors are among the leading fiDanciers
OF the State.
The local deposits of these banks are
from $4,000 to $4,000 per month.
A local Building and Loan Association
has just been organized and in few
weeks will be prepared to furnish money
for the erection OF buildings in this city.

cities, and filed bonds in the sum OF five
thousand dollars that the work on this
road will be begun at once and hurried

village it has become an incorpo Ased

GRA VS. XfRBOR.

About fifty miles north of the Column
bia river is the entrance to Gravs harpor'
from the Pacific ocean, long known TO
navgatorsi as the most accessible ana
safes harbor on the coast. The bar eat
ries ade D tn of from eighteen to twenty
three feet OF water at low tide, ~s'aN"
increases from ten to fifteen fee; al slS0
tide. The entrance, or channel isaa'o"' 4
mile wide. and the extreme width 0s tVS
harbor is twelve miles, gradually '%p2f's$
TO a point at its eastern end. where u -
met bv the Chehalis and WlSaSSA ssNe'S>
In the harbor there are three we'll ssUAeess
channels offering ample anchorage rS@sa
and merging into one broad, dssess c's'sas'sSs
or roadstead, near the head ot tAe AAF@ea>
These channels are separated tsV0A each
other and from the shore proper ~ ~,
tensiye mud flats up ~ the point Y her
convergence. where the volume OF wAssF'
being more eoatined. has SwesN them
away. and the water is deep MP 70 the
very shore line, AT the head OF the har-
bor the channel is over two thousand
feet wide, carrying depth OF ~ ieet
The expense of continuing this width and
,epth 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 I'M
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 lonr to six steam
ers per month have crossed and re-crossed
the Grays harbor bar and not one accl-
dent has occurred; in fact, during the
eight or ten wears the harbor has been
used as a 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
sixty miles by land from the eastern end
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 undersicv~ y,
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 han Dor has now direct
railroad communication. Nature has, in
deed made here an unequaied gateway
TO the ocean, to the commerce OF the
world 1t only remains Tor men to lin-
prove the opportunity.

TRANSPORTATION.

Railroads and water transportation Gre
ate competition that cannot be con-
trulled in the interest of monopolists. The
Northern Pacific Railroad Company is
now operating its Gray's harbor line
within ten miles of Aberdeen, and rap
idly completing the road to this point
with large force of men. Practically,
there is now actual rail communication
with all the world by this road via Tacoma
or Portland. Regular lines OF steamers
run to Portland, Oregon, and 70 San
Francisco, California, and smaller boats
ply daily between Aberdeen and all points
on the harbor.
One hundred and thirty-six vessels
sailed from Grays harbor during $780,
seventy-three sailing vessels and sixty
three steam vessels of these, fifty sailing
vessels and all OF the steamers sailed
from Aberdeen. During the months Of
Jan. and February OF 1890, only ten YES
sells left the harbor. During the same
months OF this year, t1S9l), forty-fou
vessels passed out over Gravs harbor bar,
thirty-nine OF which sailed from Aberdeen.
This shows how rapidly Grays harbo'
and especially Aberdeen is becoming "a
place of commercial importance. With
the completion OF the Northern Pacific
railroad to Aberdeen. draining eastern
and central Washington of its coal and
wheat, it is impossible to prophesy OF
what importance Aberdeen will be-
come as shipping port, and when the
lumber men OF this northwest are able t,
ship via the Nicaragua canal to the east
ern world, forest of masts will cover TIL;
harbor as the growth of fir and spruce
cover its shores.

HE4L7Y 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 Of deaths,
20. The causes of death were drowning,
4; accident in logging camp, !; suicide,
|; cerebro-spnal meningitis, l; scarlet
fever, l; cholera infantum, peritonitis
L; local causes, 10.
Estimating our population at 2500, the
death rate shows conclusively the health
fulness of the country.

SALMON CNNEPIES.

The Oldest industries of Aberdeen are
its 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 it's site, but will rebuild
before the canning season in a more re-
mote part of the city. The yearly output
of the three canneries is about 4l,Ooo
cases, representing value OF $4,000.
Other established industries include a
we'll equipped steam laundry, cigar fac
tory, employing five or Six men, soda
works and many others.

The Board of Trade is composed of
about one bundled members, among
whom are the active and substantial bust

interests in particular and the harbor and
county generally, and is thoroughly pre-
pared to meet any emergency that may
arise.
The board will be glad at any time to
