The Western Washington Industrial
Exposition, now being held in Tacoma,
is not a Tacoma show. 1t is an EXPOSE
ton of the resources of the state OF Wash
ington. Those localities that have thrown
aside all local prejudice, and have gone
in to make good showing of their re-
sources, are the ones that are reaping the
benefits. Those that have held back,
because they thought it purely Tacoma
affair, are the ones that are suffering
from the natural inference that they must
have nothing to exhibit, or they would,
with the others, be taking advantage Of
this great opportunity to advertise in an
irrefutable manner the many claims to
greatness that have been made in the
black and white Of the local press All
words of all languages, written or
printed, can not paint the rosy picture
Walla Walla's fruit gives to the eye, and
the picture is one that lasts and is be-
lieved, because seeing is believing.

THE GOVERNMENT OF CITIES

Ex-President Andrew White, Of Cor
nell, is citizen OF many accomplish
ments, OF wide experience, and of COM
mandng intellectual ability. His contr;-
button to the Forum some time ago on
the subject of the government of cities
was so sweeping an indictment of Amer
lean cityhood as to arrest the attention of
the press o. the entire country with a
very few exec, .tions, the city govern
ments of the United States, . he said,
care the worst in Christendom-the
most expensive, the most inefficient, the
most corrupt"
Taking up New York and Philadelphia
as examples, Mr.. White illustrates the
genuine inefiiciency OF their local govern
ments in a series Of the most gloomy pic
lures. Their city halls are portrayed as
the acknowledged centers OF the vilest
corruption, not merely demoralizing to
those who live under its sway, but to the
country at large. AS a rule the men who
sit in the councils dispensing comfort or
discomfort, justice or injustice, beauty OF
deforn,ity, health or disease, to this and
to future generations, are men who in no
other country would think of aspiring to
such positions. Some of them, indeed,
would think themselves lucky in keeping

Work For the Harbor.

Last Thursday night Capt. B. W. De-
courcey, OF the harhor line commission
met the Aberdeen board of trade and the
Hoqniam chamber of commerce at the
hoard of trade rooms in this city, for the
purpose OF addressing them on the sub
ject OF the improvement of the Harbor.
He said that the depth Of water shown
on the charts at present in use were a
libel OH the Harbor; that he had made
extensive soundings on the bar and that
in no case had he found depth Of water
less than. sixteen feet, while in many
places the government chart showed ve:y
much less.
He also said this is one of the finest
harbors, naturally, on the Pacific coast,
and that some engineer of national repu-
tation should be employed to come here,
survey the bar and examine the Harbor,
then estimate the amount necessary for
the improvement of the channels and bar
and recommend an appropriation by con-
gress OF that amount. This survey with
the recommendation over the signature,
should be forwarded to the states repre-
sentatives in congress and they should be
urged to use all means in their power to
secure the appropriation. He suggested
Louis M. Halp, Of Philadelphia, as a
suitable man to engage for this work.
Capt. Docourcey declined to estimate
the cost, or to make any statements as to
what channel should be improved, further
than that all the water should be con-
fined to one channel.
He was requested, and consented to
write to Mr.. Halp on the subject. If the
reply is such as will warrant the boards
Of trade on the Harbor taking action, it
will be handed to Mr.. Greenebaum and
he will take steps to arrange a joint meet
ing to be held here or at Hoquiam.
A vote Of thanks was rendered Capt.
Decourcey, after which speeches were
made by the following gentlemen Mayor
Arnold, Jno. Soule and DR.. Chase, of
Hoquiam; Capt. Weatherwax, D. Allen
and others, of this city.
The sense of the meeting was that Mr..
Halp's services should be- secured, If
possible.

We assume that the recent suspension
of the newspaper published for the past
year and half at the new town OF Gays
Harbor, means that the ambitious project
of creating commercial city at that
point, if not dead, had been put to sleep
to await the developments OF the future.
This project enlisted the efforts of a num-
Der Of able men, who placed it before the
public in such favorable light that they
took in during three or four months, for
the sale OF lots, over $500, 900 in cash.
Most of this money they at once spent in
building mile-long wharf out into the
bay, in grading streets, in clearing land
and in erecting buildings. These mana
gers have lost nothing and may have
some profit remaining, but the lot pur-
chasers have sunk their money unless
there should come about an entire change
in the situation on the Harbor.
A railroad, to end at the new town, was
commenced last year by Geo. w. Hunt,
who spent good deal Of money on it and
was obliged to abandon it under pressure
OF the vigorous antagonism of the North
ern Pacific, which looked upon him as an
intruder in it's territory and proceeded to
parallel his road. Before Hunt had laid
any rails he retired from the struggle
His road, beginning at Centralia, was to
have run down tine Chehalis through
Aberdeen and Hoquiam, terminating at
Gray's Harbor City. The new branch Of
the Northern Pacific runs also to Aber-
deem, but at that town it crosses the river
and continuing on down the south side Of
the harbor ends at new town called
Ocosta, just inside the southern cape
which protects the waters of the harbor
from the surf of the Pacific. This line is
almost completed. The Northern Pacific
management announces that road from
Aberdeen three miles to Hoquiam will
probably be built before long, but that it
will not be extended to the new, specula-
tive town of Gray's Harbor City. This
decision leaves that town without visible
means of support or rational cause
for existence. 1t has at present
about $50 inhabitants but it
has graded streets sufficient for 1O,-
900. Hoquiam separated from it by only
three miles of forest, is handsome town
of l, 500 people, with established lumber
manufacturing industries and considera-
BILE sea-going commerce. Aberdeen,
three miles from Hoquiam, has at least
1000 people, and also thrives on the saw
ing and shipping of lumber. These two
enterprising towns are growing towards
each other and will soon be connected by
an electric road. Northwest Magazine.

Tacoma and Seattle have been very
much worked up over the arrest of r. B.
Albertson, Of Seattle, by Pierce county
deputy under the espionage of Private
Detective M. G. Sullivan. There would
have been no reason to take exception
to the arrest had the private detective
element been left out. With this element
thrown in, the arrest was an outrage
upon the man arrested and upon every
man in the state Of Washington. Either
the Lawmakers of the state of Washing
ton must make the laws of the state q
sufficient protection to life, liberty and
property, or we must acknowledge the
insufficiency of the law, and let private
detectives and mob rule take its place.
