CHRYsANrHEMUM.

She was beggar maid~vith pallid face,
And tangled tresses by the wind rough
blown:
Ragged the garb that hid her fragile grace,
Until the king passed by, and knew his own.
Robed her in splendor; crowned her modest
brow
With fash of gems and wells of silken sheen !;
Then did the land In silent homage bow
And men first saw the beauty OF the queen.

will prevent an election. The vote for
Mr.. Woods was 6,4s3, for Mr.. Hahn g.

CLEvELAND's ABSORBING AMBITION.

Grover Cleveland has caused the an
nouncement to be made that he is again
in the field as candidate for the Presi-
Dental nomination by the Democratic
National Convention. Mr.. Cleveland
has not made the announcement over his
own signature nor has he permitted him
self to be interviewed. A convenient
friend "who has frequently dined with
him in the Lawyers Club is the medium
through which the ex-President makes his
wishes known to the people of the coun-
try.
"I am not seeking the nomination for
President" Mr.. Cleveland is reported to
have said to this friend, "but neither
will seek to counteract any tendency
toward my nomination which may be
apparent. / could as consciously coun-
teract any such tendency toward my
nomination as 1 could conscientiously
refuse the nomination itself when it is
the deliberate choice of the party that
shall be their candidate"
Political aspirants of less magnitude
would more tersely and more tritely
have expressed this thought. They
would have said plainly that they were
in the hands of their friends, and every
person interested would know that they
considered themselves their own best
friends and proposed to move caucuses,
primaries, conventions and all the other
parts of political machinery to secure
their ends. Mr.. Cleveland is, however,
more circumlocutory as becomes Pres
idential candidate. Still his meaning is
none the less plain.
With three candidates in the field Othe
prospects are that there will be lively
times in New York State before the
Democratic convention is held. Grover
Cleveland, Roswell p. Flower and David
B. Hill each one seemingly believes that
he is the man destined to lead his party
to success in November next. Mr..
Flower will point to the fact that he has
Just been elected Governor of the State
by some AZ, 900 majority Mr.. Hill, that
he has been Senator as well as Governor
since March 4, last, and was willing to
squander what little good reputation he
had left in order to steal the State Legis-
lature for the benefit of his party, and
Mr.. Cleveland that he is the especial pet
of the Mugwump aristocracy and the
free trade theorists.
With all the patronage of the State
government behind him Mr.. Flower
should be able to capture some of the
districts that Hill supposes are copper
fastened TO his ambitions and fortunes.
and with the fight between these two
growing hot Mr.. Cleveland probably be-
lieves there is room for him to slip
around and draw the prize.
Mr.. Cleveland is not popular with the
practical politicians and the spoils seek
ers. His intimate friends know that,
and probably he has by this time been
made 20 believe such TO be the fact.
Hill and Flower are equally popular
now, but with the New York State Off
ces to bestow the latter should be able TO
draw these classes TO his side. while the
former is wasting time and strength as
member Of the minority in the United
States Senate. Cleveland's latest pro-
nunciamento then appears as senti-
mental plea for help.

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
Ghehalis 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
Uses gradually to an elevation OF fifty
Seet or more. The Wishkah river
divides the city little east of the center.
This river is navigable for some distance
Tor the largest ships and for steamers as
FAR as sixteen miles above it's mouth.
Aberdeen was originally founded as a
mill town some seven or eight years ago,
nut its 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 it's recent
rapid growth.

Financial.

Aberdeen has two banking institutions,
the Aberdeen Bank and the First National
Bank. The first is an incorporated state
bank, organized in '87, and within the last
month has been reorganized with cap
ital stock Of $50, 900, increasing the num-
Der Of stockholders from two to five, and
adding to their regular banking business
savings bank department.
The First Rational Bank has paid up
capital of $50, 600 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.

SHIP YARD.

There is no industry in Aberdeen better
located than her ship-yards. With the
finest and longest ship timbers in the
world, with a 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. Weathe wax, y
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.

SALMON CNNERZES.

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 it's 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 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.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Much attention is given in Aberdeen to
the education of the young, and the two
school houses are well equipped with the
most improved furniture and apparatus.
The graded schools OF Aberdeen have
already become noted for their efficiency
Preparation is being made for the erection
OF new central school building to cost
$4,000. The public school in January,
1891, had an average attendance Of two
hundred pupils.

TRANSPORTATION.

Railroads and water transportation Gre
ate a competition that cannot be con-
trolled 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 20 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 1890,
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, ,1S91), forty-four
vessels passed out over Grays harbor bar,
thirty-nine of which sailed from Aberdeen.
This shows how rapidly Grays harbor
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 to
ship via the Nicaragua canal to the east
ern world, forest of masts will cover this
harbor as the growth of fir and spruce
cover its shores.

GRA Us HARBOR.

bia river is the entrance to Grays harbor
from the Pacific ocean, long known to
Eavigators as the most accessible and
safest harbor on the coast. The bar car
ries depth Of from eighteen to twenty
three feet OF water at low tide, -n,cn
increases from ten to fifteen feet at high
tide. The entrance, or channel, isabout u
mile wide, and the extreme width OF the
harbor is twelve miles, gradually tapering
10 point at it's eastern end, where it is
met by the Clehalis 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
ether and from the shore proper by ex-
tensive n. ld flats up to the point of their
conveyance, where the volume of water,
being more confined, has swept them
away, and the wafer 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
10 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 ont hundred
sailing vessels and from four 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

MANLZEACZIZRLNG

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 33,000,000; the home consumption
being about 100000. On the wharf this
lumber represented value of over $780,
600, which was principally paid out here
in wages. Other mills are being erected,
and the product will probably be doubled
during the year 1891.
WOOD-W WORK, ESTABLISHMENTS
After numbering, tine next important
industry is that OF the sash, door, blind
and oapara1 uood-workipo and turnipo
establishments. Three OF these are now
in profitable operation, and there is room
Tor more. The raw material is cheap and
the market convenient.
A factory for furniture exclusively
would be 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
