LOSS.

The pathway of my life since thou art gone.
Seems like dusty and exposed high road
Whose Notwithstanding, weary length
is sowed
With rough, uneven places. The bright
sun
Streams pitilessly down; shade there is
none.
Bewildered, dazed, instinctively turn
Thy help to claim All! have yet to learn
What all men know-that l must walk
alone?
And though am woman in my years.
Whom Others turn to for the help seek,
Still is my troubled heart full of vague
fears
And desolate distress; sobs from me break
As from some child, with sense of drear de-
feat.
Left wandering in an unknown public
street.

enriches the blood, and through it
clcanscs and renews the whole sys-
tenn. All Blood, Skin, and Scalp

equally well at all seasons. And it
not only claims to do good it
guarantees it. If it doesn't benefit
or cure, in every case, you have

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 it's mouth.
Aberdeen was originally founded as a
mill town some seven or eight years ago,
sbut 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 a location favorable for
other industries, and realization of this
has pushed the town Into commercial
prominence and accounts for its recent
rapid growth.

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.

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 reorganized with cap
ital stock Of 1850, 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 it's officers and
directors are among the leading fDanciers
Of the State.
The local deposits OF these banks are
from 100000 to $l50,000 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.

SALMON CNNERLE.S.

The Oldest industries of Aberdeen are
it's salmon canneres, 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 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 ,000
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.

TRANSFORMATIONS.

Railroads and water transportation Gre
ate 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 TO 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 TINS year, ilo9l), Iorty-1Our
vessels passed out over Grays harbor bar,
thirty-nine Of which sailed from Aberdeen.
This shows how rapidly Grays harbol
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 a 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.

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
safest harbor on the coast The bar car
ries depth of from eighteen to twenty
three feet OF water at low tide, WINCH
increases from ten to fifteen feet at high
tide. The entrance, or channel, is about
mile wide, and the extreme width OF the
harbor is twelve miles, gradually tapering
to point at its 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 IL ld 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.
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 inn
provements 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 four 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 years 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 underslc.s. ~
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 harbor 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.

board OF TRADE.

The Board OF Trade is composed OF
about one hundred members, among
whom are the active and substantial bust
ness men Of the city. The board was
organized for the promotion Of Aberdeen's
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
furnish general and particular informa-
ton to any who may wish it, and any
request for the same will receive the i'm
mediate attention Of the Secretary.

MANUFACTURING.

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. Logs 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,
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.

LIGHT AND WATER.
The streets, business houses, public
buildings, and many private dwellings OF
Aberdeen are lighted by electricity, fur
nished by the Aberdeen Electric Com
pany, home corporation, having paid
up capital stock OF $25 1000. The plant is
one Of the best and comprises both the
incandescent and arc system of lighting
The charges are reasonable and the quail
ity of light the best.
The present water system was devised
when there was no expectation of there
being SO large a city here, and conse-
quently is eomewhat inadequate; the
people, however, have voted sufficient
water bonds, the sale Of which has pro-
vided money for sucn an improvement Of
the system as will furnish a supply OF
pure water sufficient for population OF
forty thousand. For fire protection there
is an inexhaustible supply of salt water,
taken from the Chehalis river.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The city fire department is thoroughly
organized and well equipped. Water is
supplied from the bay by stationary
pumping engine, running night and day
Hydrants are located at convenient in
tervals and connections are easily made
when necessary. The apparatus con-
sists of three hose-carts, two thousand
one hundred and fifty feet of hose, and a
first-class hook and ladder truck. There
are eighty-four memoers of the fire de-
partment, divided into three companies
under command of chief and foul

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 81. M. Weatherwax,"
which is one of the finest vessels OF the
kind on the coast. The building of this
vessel, for labor alone, distributed $4,000
Preparations are being made now for the
