THE CENTRAL CITY.

Aberdeenis 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 G. adually 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,
but 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.

BOARD or 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 promotions Of Aberdeen's
interestsin 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.

TRANSPOR tn TON.

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 ves-
sells left the harbor. During the same
months of this year, (l891), forty-four
vessels passed out over Grays harbor bar,
thirty mine 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 it's shores.

.SALMON

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 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 ,00(
cases, representing value Of $4,000.
Other established industries include q
well equipped steam laundry, cigar fac
tory, employing five or six men, soda
works and many others.

GRAYS HARBOR.

About fifty miles north of the Column
bia river is the entrance to Gravs harbor.
from the Pacific ocean, long known to
navigators as the most accessible and
safest harbor on the coast. The bar car
res 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, lsabout
mile wide, and the extreme width OF the
harbor is twelve miles, gradually lapering
to a point at its eastern end, where it is
met bv 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 n dd fats up to the point Of their
convergence, 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.
Theexpens 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
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 iour to six steam
ers per month have crossed and re-crossed
the Grays harbor bar and not one acct
dent has occurred ;sin 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 60 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 simr, time is money.
These facts are thoroughly understcos. "
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.

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 a new central school building to cost
$4,000. The public school in January,
1891, had an average attendance Of two
hundred pupils.

MANUEAC7URING.

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
300, 900 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,
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.

WOOD-WORK ESTABLISHMENTS

After numbering, the next important
industry is that of the SASH door, blind
and general woodworking and turning
establishments. Three of these are now
in profitable operation, and there is room
for 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
