that wherever nature has arranged all
arm Of the ocean for the security and har-
boring Of our ships, a large city had
crown up. For instance, take our own
country, and upon looking at the Atlantic
and Gulf coast you will notice that
wherever nature had provided an ordl-
nary safe haven it has also insured the
fact of city growing upon its shores IN a
comparatively short time. From ror'-
land, Maine, to Galveston, Iexas' every
coast harbor has certain amount OF ter
ritory surrounding it and centering on
that point as natural outlet. On the
Atlantic coast there are at least twenty
five harbors Of greater or less Importance
and on the Gulf coast are situated about
ten more. These thirty-five harbors di-
vide among themselves the entire coast

line, leaving TO each a comparatively
small share, yet this land tributary to
each OF these harbors has been more than
sufficient in building up the respective
places located there. Now take the en-
tire Pacific coast and you will find but
very few practical and safe harhors. But
three states border on the Pacific coast,
namely, California, Oregon and Wash
ington. California has three harbors--
San Diego, San Francisco and Humboldt
bay. Oregon has practically but one
good harboi, and she has to divide that
with Washington, namely, the Columbia
river. Besides this, there are Coos,
Yaquina and Tillamook bays, which
carry but comparatively little water over
their respective bars and cannot be rated
as perfectly safe harbors. Then comes
Washington, which, with the Columbia
river. on the south, then Shoalwater bay
and Grays harbor, and lastly Puget
sound. These ten harbors comprise all
on the Pacific coast OF the United States,
and practically only five of these can be
rated az first-class. Then it becomes OBJ
vious that this entire coast line and coun-
try back of it must naturally be tributary

Now, were this vast country tributary to
Grays harbor destitute sahara we might
doubt its power to build up q city and
make this bay an important place. But
on the contrary it is one of the richest
spots on Gods green earth and filed
with the vast resources of timber and
minerals, its rich agricultural lands,
its stock raising, fishing and manufacture
ing. With all these combined factors of
wealth, Grays harbor is bo.nd to seek it's
level with the most important of our
country harbors, and on its shores will
grow within the next few years city
that will astonisl even the most sanguine.
This city will be built on that part Of
Grays harbor possessing the most natural
advantages and where the greatest indi-
vidual and combined work is brought to

natural outlet and highway to ship their
products and resources. Mother nature
has as general thing taken this matter
under her supervision and arranged the
country tributary respectively to each
bay. In so doing Grays harbor has
come in for more than her share, as any
one looking at the map Of Washington
win readily see that nearly every river Of
any Importance in western Washington
flows directly into Grays harbor, thereby
not alone becoming part OF this har-
Dor but also causing all that country
drained by their waters to become tribu-
tary to it. BY drawing line around that
country tributary to this bay one will
find that it embraces all of Washington
lying directly west and southwest OF
Puget sound, with the exception OF q

What The Wheless Electric Company
Is Doing.

Aberdeen will have the finest electric
road complete in this country, equipped
with the Wheless overhead system.
Messrs Allen & Hamilton are doing all
they can to have part of the road in OPP
GRAFTON some time during July. Ma
chinery and rails were ordered some
time ago, should be on the way. Work
will be rapidly pushed on the arrival.
In the meantime as much work will be
done as is possible to prepare for ma
chinery and rails.
A. A. Honey, vice president and gen.
eral manager, and Fl. S. Huson, chief
engineer Of the Wheless Underground
Electric company, Of Tacoma, left Wash
ington, D. c., on the 2Oth for Tacoma.
While in Washington, d c., they sue
ceeded in having the Wheless under
ground road there transferred from the
old company to the Wheless company of
Tacoma, and also secured franchise to
build a Wheless underground sy stem for a
distance of five miles in Washington city
to pass the National capital, white house
and other important points, and to build
bridge across the Patomac river for
both electric and steam railroads, and a
franchise OF nine miles Of the Wheless
overhead system through to Alexandria,
Va, a city of fifteen to eighteen thousand
inhabitants. Mr.. Hamilton says their
company are very much elated over the
success Of iMessrs Honey & Huson's
trip, MS the Wheless system is acknowl-
edged to be superior to all other systems,
and the only underground system that
will work successfully.
While in Tacoma last week L. M.
Hamilton closed contract with Paul
Schulze, president of the Tacoma Railway
and Motor company, to equip his Pacific
avenue line with the Wheless over head
system, which he will do as soon as the
material arrives from the east.

The ANNOYING Hang Nail.

small and almost im%perceptible hang
nail often involves the owner of the hand
which bears it in an endless amount of
annoyance and vexation. 1t is the pener.
al rule that the nails that are the least at
tended are better than those that are cor
t%inually doctored. Manicure treatment
once a week is about right. The man
who cuts a hang-nail in nine cases ont of
ten lays the way for a much more vigor-
Gus successor. Satisfactory results are
almost always obtained by adopting the
habit of pushing the skin back from the
nail after washing the hands. The dry
end of the towel should be taken, and the
s an pressed book wherever it o~verruns
the nail. This breaks the adhesiveness
to the nail and makes hang-nails i'm
possible. Where the skin. is allowed to
grow fast 10 the nail trouble invariably
results, because the nail in growing out
pulls the skin with it, and when it breaks
from the tension the hang-nail is formed.

CAVES IN WINTER.


AT first thought, any boy who has
been brought up on the farm would be
able to tell, if questioned, what the
young animal needs the first winter of its
llfo. So many poor, understood creatures
we see standing out-of doors on a
sunny day, late in winter or early spring,
would seem to show that the farmer
himself did not put the knowledge in
practice. If the calf, when cold weather
comes on, is in a good, thriving condi-
ton, it is Of great Importance that it is
maintained until the animal is turned
away IN the spring toseek its own living.
Warmth is the first essential, not only to
comfort, but to development. If there is
any difference in the stables, give the
calf the best and warmest place. Water
1t regularly, and keep it housed all the
day. What n farmer said in regard to
his daily, "He never saw any good in a
northwest wind for his herd" is equally
true of the calf. Calves are usually shv
in the fall, unless they have been fed and
handled through the summer. Win their
confidence, and keep it. Call them into
NS ASNSob VI AOICiu0 Iuem MItn
or dog. When they are there. let
them expect something appetizing.
Apples, roots, or vegetables, of any kind
Will be appreciated. OF course the daily
ration of grain will not be omitted. The
old way was to keep and feed young
stock together with the few sheep kept
on the farm. All were turned out in the
morning, and fed in the yard. 1t was
the ''survival of the %fittest," the strong
selecting the best and trampling the bal
ance. 1t is sad to say that this practice
is still continued, to some extent. An
thrax, or "blackleg, frequently breaks
out, always attacking the best and most
hearty of the herd. As a preven-
tive, give sulphur, mixed with salt, add
ing a small quantity of ~saltpeter. Lice
are the pest of the young animal, and
must be got rid of. If there are any
among the herd that show signs of
disease, take them out and isolate them.
Keep by themselves apart from the
thers.-American 4griculturist.

Probably the largest fee for medical or
surgical attendance ever paid In New
York was the sum Of 800, 900 to DR..
Willard Parker, about fifteen years ago,
for an operation in a wealthy family resi-
dent near New York. The case was one
of goitre, a rare afiliction in the United
States, at least among native Americans,
although far from uncommon in France
and Switzerland. From the side Of the
face and the neck hung a large ieshy
sack, hideously disfguring and making
life a burden to the heir of several mil
lions. He carried the outgrowsh in a
black silkcn bag, which hid il from view,
but did not render less conspicuous the
fact of its presence. The young mar APP
pealed to the surgeons of highest reputa-
ton in France and London; but they
made an examination and concluded that
an operation would result fatally. Then
he turned to the well-known American
surgeon, who consented. 1t is said to
have been a most arduous task of surgery.
But the patient lived, and without the
deformity. Under the circumstances the
fee does not appear to have been too
large.
But if New York leading physicians
and surgeons receive large fees from the
rich, they more than make up for this
good fortune by free attendance on the
poor, not only at medical institutions but
at the houses of patients. - Chicago

flesh and wool it will put on from an
equal amount Of grain feeding. The fat
ness of the animal indicates good di-
gestion. A sheep thin in flesh has al
ways had its digestion injured, and a
sheep with poor stomach is as poor an
animal to keep as a horse with poor feet.
When farmers sell their focks they often
sell the whole, good and poor, together.
They might as sensibly run the cuttings
in with good apples in selling them. At
the large sheep markets the dealer as
sorts the sheep, picking out the best for
a high price to those who fatten. Tho
farmer who goes to one of these markets
thinking that any sheep rightly handled
will pay is sure to lose. He may buy
culls of a very low price, but these are
worth more to kill, just as they are, for
their pelts, and convert their carcases
INTO manure or soap-grease. 1t is GER
tain that such sheep on dry feed willnot
live until spring, aud the pelt would
not be worth more then than il
earlier in the season.-Boston Cult

The Ski Of the Norsemen.

l failed to discover among the tracks
OF snowshoes in Central Park during the
deep snow any indication that the
wooden snowshOe, or. ''ski" of the far
North is in use here. 1t is a marvellous
ly effective implement, if such it NAV be
called, upon the feet of him who is
skilled in its use. The ski may be eight
feet long, and it is usually from three to
four inches broad at the widest point.
Beneath the foot it is an inch thick, and
1t tapers before and behind to a sharp
edge. In front it turns up almost YER
tically for about an inch. The under
side is polished to the glibness of glass.
The wearers of the ski are called ''skilob.
ners- Their performances in Scandi-
navia and Greenland are marvellous, and
recent explorer of the latter country saws
1t would have been almost impossible to
prosecute his work without the use of
the ski. Skilled skilobners make from
eight to twelve miles an hour, and dar-
ing ones sometimes takes leaps from sixty
TO ninety feet long on sharp declivities
where the perpendicular descent is as
much as thirty feet.-NeD York Star.
