village it has become an Incorporated

Grays haroor. Its population has in
creased from 400 10 300, and one hun.
dred and fifty buildings, including bust
ness houses and dwellings, have been
erected within its limits. Its postoffiee
receipts from s45O.96. for the quarter

7Hg cESTRaL CITY.

Aberdeen is the central city and the port
Il entry for the Grsys harhcr country.
1t is situated AT The apex Of that pear
shared hay. where the waters Of the ha--
Dor are united with those os the
Chehshs and wishkah rivers, sixteen
miles iron the bsr. The incorporate
limits Of the city contsin eleven square
miles al land and water, lying on both
sides Of the rivers Just named snd the
hay proper. The site is principally level,
hut back Of the Level portion
rises gaduAlly to an elevation Of ffi!
tses or more. The wishksh river
divides the city little east Of the center.
This river is nsvigahae fx some distance
for the largest ships and for steamers s.
lar IS sixteen miles above its mouth
Aberdeen was originally founded s. >
mill town some seven o. eight wears $50,

terof only three years The frs coners
thought Of little but the advantageous
location and exceptional natural facilities
tor saving and shipping lumber.
hut these two very important factors have
sone 10 make up location favorable for
other industries. and realization 81 this
has pushed the town into commercial
rrominence and accounts for its recent
rapid growth.

GRA Us KsRBoR.

About fifty miles north of the Column
bia river is the entrance to Gravs harbor.
from the Pacific ocean, long known to
navigatorsi rs the most accessible and
sa fes harbor on the coast. The bar car
ri es ade p tn of from eighteen to twenty
three feet OF water at low tide, "n,vn
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 point ut its eastern end, where 1t 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 mud 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 mar
Dor the channel is over two thousand
feet wide, carrying depth of 40 feet.
Theexpense 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 i'm
movements are made, the flow of water
is sufficiently strong to keep it from shoal-
ing. The harbor is land-looked, and the
shelter it affords from storms is complete.
During the past year over one hundred
sailing vessels and from Jour to six steam
ers per month have crossed and re-crossed
the Grays harbor bar and not one acci-
dent has occurred; in fact, during the
eight or ten wears the harbor has been
used MS deep water port not Single
vessel has met disaster going or coming.
This hsrbor is three hundred and hftv
miles ueare, 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
o the harhor. while the peninsula. around
which all vessels must 20 to reach that
city. is over one hundred miles north
If it; thus passenger from San Francisco,
hound for Tacoma, saves more than
fiue hundred miles Of the distance now
travelled by coming into Grays hsrhor
and completing his journey by sixty miles
d rail. Distance is :imr, time is money.

SHIP YfRD.

There is no industry in Aberdeen better
located than her ship-vards. 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
ward was launched large three-masted
schooner, the ~. NJ. 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.

SALMON CNNERLES.

The oldest industries of Aberdeen are
its salmon canneries. 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 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
we'll equipped steam laundry, cigar fac
tory, employing five or six men, soda
works and many others.

HE4LzY OF TIE 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, L; suicide,
L; cerebro-spinal meningitis, l; scarlet
fever, l; cholera iniantum, peritonitis
/; local causes, 10.
Estimating our population at 2500, the
death rate shows conclusively the health

Yesterday two Goorkhas belonging to the

q British force had been cut to pieces by
some OF the savage tribes of Manipur,
and that the British Commissioner of
Assam and seven British officers we've

Some while ago the Rajah of Manipur,
ut whose capital resides a British political
agent, was deposed by the chief of one
Of the warrior tribes which infest the coun-

Government Of India. and Mr.. J. w. GUM
