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
$780, 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 mNh cheaper
than at the other ports mentioned.
The shipment abroad for the year 1890
was $4,000, 600; 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, pubic
buildings, and many private dwellings oil
Aberdeen are lighted by electricity, fur
nished by the Aberdetn Electric Com
pany, home corporation, having paid
up capital stock OF SIS. 900. The plant Is
one Of the best and comprises both the
incandescent and are 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-
auentlv is somewhat 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 viii furnish supply OF
pure water sufficient for population OF
forty thousand. For fire protection there
is an inexhaustible supply Of salt water,
taken from the Chelalis river.

THE CENTRAL CRY.

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 e 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 humber,
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.

HARBOR CHARGES AND LNSLlP-
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 q vessel bound from this city than for
one bound from Portland or ports on
Puget Sound. Tie towage rates on the
harbor for a 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 Fra~cisco being
three-quarters per cent. lower lower than
the lowest schedule rates from Puget
Sound, the lumber rates being aslo three
quarters per cent. in favor OF Grays
harbOr.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The city fire department is thoroughly
organized and well equipped. Water is
supplied from the bay by Il stationary
pumping engine, running night and day,
Hydrants are located at convenient in
tervals and connections are egsily made
when necessary. The apparatus con-
sists of three hose-carts, two thousand
ore hundred and fifty feet OF hose, and a
first-class hook and ladder truck. There
are eighty-fonr memoirs of the fire de-
partment, divided into three companies,
urder command OF chief and four
assistants.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1891-03-26
TRANSPORTATION.

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 20 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 1893,
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 this year, SlS9D, forty-four
vessels passed out over Grays harbor bar,
thirty-nine of which sailed from Aberdeen.
This shows how rapidly Grays harboi
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 AID spruce
cover its shores.

ABERDEEN.
GRAYS H4RB0R.

About fifty miles north of the Column
bia river is the entrance to Grays harbor,
from the Pacific Ocean, long known to
navigators as one OF most accessible ana
safest harbors on the coast. fhe Dar car
ries deIth OF from eighteen to twenty
three feet OF water at low tide. which
increases from ten TO fifteen feet AT high
tide. The entrance, or channel, isabout
mile wide. and the extreme width OF the
harbor is twelve miles, gradually taPering
to point at its eastern end, where II is
met bv the Chehalis and Wishkah rivers.
In the harbor there are three we'll 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-
tensive mud flats 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 feei.
The expense 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-lockej, and the
sheltef4t affords from storms is complete.
During the past year over one hundred
sailing vessels and from Jour 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 wears 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
two hundred miles of the distance now
travelled by coming into Grays harbor
and completing his Quincy by sixty miles
OF rail. Distance is time; time is money.
These facts are thoroughly understood by
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 harb 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.

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 s250,0O0, increasing the num-
Der of stockholders from two to five, and
adding to their regular banking business
savings bank department.
The First National Bank has paid up
capital OF $4,000, and its officers and
directors are among the leading tiDanciers
of the State.
The local deposits of these banks are
from $20,000 to $4,000 per month.
A local Bnilding 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

season.

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 more re-
mote part of the city. The yearly output
of the three canneries is about Al GOO
cases, representing value of $4,000.
Other established industries include
well equipped steam laundry, cigar lac
tory, employing five or six men, soda
works and many others.

BOARD or TRADE.

The Board OF Trade is composed OF
about one hundred members, among
whom are the active and substantial busi-
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 inn
mediate attention of the Secretary.
