Permanent improvements.

Mandan Pioneer: The Northern Pa
clfic is constructing new bridge at Bill
lings Mont The new structure will be
built entirely of steel and will consist of
three spans of 16O feet each. The super
structure will rest on granite piers and
abutments. The new bridge is to re-
place the wooden Howe truss structure
which was built when the road was first
constructed. The building of this bridge
is in pursuance of the policy adopted by
the Northern Pacific of replacing the
wooden bridges by steel as soon as the
former begin to need repair. The COM
pany is also replacing much Of their
trestle work with permanent stone cul-
verts and fills. Last year about six miles
of trestle were thus abolished, while this
year considerably more than that amour:
will be replaced with solid track.

Death or Miss Nettle Clark.

few short days ago Miss Nettie A. Clark
was living, bright and beautiful young
lady, abounding in graces of heart and
mind, the charm Of large circle of dear
friends, the cherished idol Of doting par
ents, and the sweet and loving compan-
ion OF her sister and little brother. To.
day her form lies in her last home, where
the flowers will bloom above, and birds
warble sweet songs unmindful Of the in.
animate clay below, which no longer
holds the soul of the dear loved one.
The deceased was born in Lakeland,
Mimi, in 1870, and was the daughter Of
MI. and Mrs. L. r. Clark, who reside on
Twelfth street, Bellingham, Fairhaven.
About a year ago she, with her parents,
Oldest sister and little brother, removed
to this CITY from jamestown. North !Da-
kots. She was an accomplished young
lady whose associates only knew her to
love her, and appreciate her many virtues.
On Tuesday last she complained of sore
throat and took medical treatment for
tonsllitis, but she grew worse. and on
Saturday the fifth instant she passed
from earth.

the situation. are not so numerous that
their actions can keep down prices any
length of time, and as soon as the fools
are ont Of the market intelligent farmers
will get prices adequate to the circum-
stances. By selling years supply dur
ing few months, prices naturally start
IN very low and generally stay there.
This year, however, it will fortunately
not make much difference how low prices
start in, for wheat will soon be over e1.5O,
no matter how much farmers and specu-
iators work together to keep prices down;
and we would advise those who can COM
prehend the situation to hold their wheat
for $1.5O, and add for every month they
keep it, say, five cents to the price. There
is no doubt they will get that price and
probably more, and they will get 1t in the
near future.
Beware OF ignorant or interested ad-
visers. Remember that the yearly
Vienna congress is the best authority IN
the world; making it's figures entirely
from official reports, never overestimat-
ing the shortage.
Remember that these figures show q
European shortage four times as large as
our possible surplus.
Hold your wheat. You cannot get
left.
Wheat is cheap at $50 this year.
You will soon see it at 81.

insufficient Fire Guards.

1t is very discouraging to note the in
difference with which the farmers appear
to regard the danger OF prairie fires A
trip into the country will show many
fields of wheat in the shock and fire
breaks plowed around them of not to ex-
ceed eight or ten feet in width, and in
many cases not that wide. A fire driven
by stiff breeze would find little or no
impediment IN it's way, and must destroy
thousands of dollars worth of grain. The
prairie grass is now dry as tinder, and
any hour is liable to be ignited, and a
fire started that no efforts can stay.
Threshers should tell the truth to farm
ers about the delay there will be in
threshlng, and every man who has an
exposed field of grain ought to stack it,
or fully protect it now. Every day in
creases the danger, and it is the height
of foolishness to trust to luck any longer
in this matter.

Valley City Patriot: Threshing is now
progressing very generally throughout
the county, and the yield reported large.
So far we learned of only one field pro-
ducing less than twenty bushels to the
acre, and in that case the small average
was caused by pepper weed. In Barnes
county this year the wheat acreage is
about 137 ,421 acres. If there is an aver
age OF twenty bushels the county over, it
will mean 2,748, 400 bushels of wheat for
Barnes county farmers. This at an aver
age OF eighty cents bushel will amount
to $2,198.73 for wheat alone. In addi-
tion to this there will be the oats, barley
and I'VE crops which will yield $4,000
more. Then there is the butter, hay,
wool, horses, cattle, sheep and hogs for
market. that will swell the sum about
100000 more, making grand total of
marketable products this year Of $2,468,-
736, which will be distributed among the
farmers of Barney county.

Sheep by the Thousand.

1t is an unusual as we'll as interesting
sight to see 8,1OO sheep feeding together
on the pralrle. That number of sheep,
however, can now be seen on the upland
south of the city. The sheep belong to
Ringer l. Jandell, and have been on the
road for several months, having been
driven from the interior Of Idaho as far
east as Miles City, from which point
they we're shipped to this place by rail-

ers So each for large number Of the.
sheep, and but slightly less figures for
the remainder. This was before any ex-
pense had been made in driving or ship
ping. The band, 1t will be
seen, represents a good sized
fortune. Good luck was had in driving
them, as few losses have occurred on the
way and excellent feed was found at all
times. The sheep are mostly wethers
and are mutton sheep" now. In the,
band are about 1900 ewes to be sold to-
farmers here. The remainder will be
marketed soon, and possibly sold to one
buyer who was expected today to look
the lot over. It is tedious and labor
ing job to drive the above number of
sheep the distance they we're driven. 1t
has been accomplished successfully, how
ever. Mr.. Ringer was present most of
the time and was assisted by three dr1v-
ers. Not the least help in the work has
been done by three shaggy shepherd
dogs, and months old puppy born on
the trip has also become an expert, al
ready, IN the work. 1t is quite difficult
matter in driving so large a number to
ascertain if any sheep have been lost.
They are occasionally counted by being
run through gate and there are 50
black and bell sheep IN this band, which
are counted frequently to see if any are
beng lost.

TIE 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 G. aduallv 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 OF eight wears 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 location favorable for
other industries, and a realization of this
has pushed the town into commercial
prominence and accounts for its recent
rapid growth.

The First National Bank has q paid ur
capital OF $50, 600 and it's officers and
directors are among the leading fiDanciers
of the State.
The local deposits of these banks are
from 100000 to sl50,000 per month.

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 com pleting 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 70 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 YES
sells left the harbor. During the same
months Of this year, ilS9l), forty-four
vessels passed out over Grays harbor bar,
thirty-nine 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 AID spruce
cover its shores.

SALMON CNNERLES.

The Oldest industries of Aberdeen are
it's salmon canneries, 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 900
cases, representing value of $4,000.
Other established industries include a
well equipped steam laundry, cigar fac
tory, employing five or six men, soda
works and many others.

BOARD OF TRADE.

The Board Of Trade is composed o.
about one hundred members, among
whom are the active and substantial bust
ness men OF the city. The board was
organized for the promotion Of Aberdeen'e
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 i'm.
mediate attention of the Secretary.
