been completed for a large and commo-
dious brick structure that will be built

yard 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

CHARGES And LNSUR
ANCE ON SHIPPING.

On account of the ease Of entrance and
the accessibility of the harbor ports to
the ocean, the towage rates are much less
for vessel bound from this city than for
one bound from Portland or ports on
Puget Sound. The towage rates on the
harbor for lumber laden vessel is fifty
cents per thousand feet of lumber for in
and out tow, and twenty cents per ton for
incoming freight, while the towage rates
on the Sound are much larger, as the dis
lance to be traversed is longer.
TIE insurance rates on lumber and
merchandise leaving the harbor ports are
likewise lower than the Sound rates on
the same cargoes. The highest rate from
Grays harbor to San Francisco being
three-quarters per cent. lower lower than
the lowest schedule rates from Puget
Sound, the lumber rates being also three
quarters per cent. in favor Of Grays
harbor.

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 its mouth.
Aberdeen was originally founded as q
mill town some seven or eight years ago
but its commercial growth has been a mat
ter OF only three years. The first conner.
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 fo
other industries, and realization of THU
has pushed the town into Commercial
prominence and accounts for its recen
rapid growth.
