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 it's mouth.
Aberdeen was originally founded as a
mill town some seven or eight years ago,
Nut it's commercial growth has been mat
tier of 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 realization of this
has pushed the town Unto commercial
prominence and accounts for its recent
rapid growth.

This enterprise is intended to advance the
interests of the entire state. Every county is
earnestly requested to send an exhibit
of its products, especially of such as
may form part of permanent exhibit, ac-
cessible at all times to visitors. Individual ex-
hibits of agriculture, minerals and manufactur-
ed products of every sort, whether of the mill

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Much attention is given in Aberdeen to
the education of the young, and the two
school houses are we'll equipped with the
most improved furniture and apparatus.
The graded schools of Aberdeen have
already become noted for their efficiency.
Preparation is being made for the erection
of new central school building to cost
$4,000. The public school in January,
1891, had an average attendance of two
hundred pupils.

GPAYS HARBOR.

About fifty miles north of the Column
bia river is the entrance to Gravs harbor.
from the Pacific ocean, long known to
1navigators as the most accessible and
safest harbor on the coast. The bar car
.Ties depth of from eighteen to twenty
three feet OF water at low tide, un.cl,
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 it's eastern end, where it is
met by the Chehals and Wishkah rivers.
In the harbor there are three well 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-
tensiye mad flats up to the point of their
conveyance, 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 feet.
'sThe'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
lis sufficiently strong to keep it from sboal-
ling. The harbor is land-looked, and the
shelter it affords from storms is complete.
During the past year over one hundred
rsailing vessels and from four to six steam
..ers per month have crossed and re-crossed
the Grays harbor bar and not one acct
dent has occurred; in fact, during the
eight or ten years 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
scities 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 60 to reach that
city, is over one hundred miles north
-sof it thus passenger from San Francisco,
bound for Tacoma, saves more than
fiue hundred miles of the distance now
travelled by coming into Grays harbor
and completing his journey by sixty miles
of rail. Distance is timr, time is money.
These facts are tnorougniy unders,c.s. ~
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 har Dor 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.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1891-08-13
TRANSPORTATION.

Railroads and water transportation Gre
ate competition that cannot be con-
troled 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 mpleting 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, i1891), 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 and spruce
cover it's shores.

The Oldest industries of Aberdeen are
it's salmon canneres, 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 it's 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
we'll equipped steam laundry, cigar fac
tory, employing five or six men, soda
works and many others.

MANUFAC TURLNC.

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
100000 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. Logs are more easily OBJ
tanned, and therefore much cheaper
than at the other ports mentioned.
The shipment abroad for the year 1890
was 33,000,000 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.

ouer sixty pupils.
LIGHT AND VA TER.
The streets, business houses, public
buildings, and many private dwellings Of
Aberdeen are lighted by electricity, fur
nished by the Aberdeen Electric Com
pany, home corporation, having paid
up capital stock OF $25, 900. The plant is
one Of the best and comprises both the
incandescent and arc system Of lighting
The charges are reasonable and the quail
ity Of light the best.
The present water system was devised
being SO large city here, and conse-
quently is somewhat inadequate; the
people, however, have voted sufficient
water bonds, the sale of which has pro-
the system as will 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 Chehalis river.
FIRE DEPARTMENT..
The city fire department is thoroughly
organized and well equipped. Water is
supplied from the bay by stationary
pumping engine, running night and day,
Hydrants are located at convenient in
tervals and connections are easily made
when necessary. The apparatus con-
sists OF three hose-carts, two thousand
one hundred and fifty feet of hose, and a
first-class hook and ladder truck. There
are eighty-four memoirs of the fire de-
partment, divided into three companies,
under command OF chief and four
assistants.
BOARD OF TRADE.
The Board OF Trade is composed of
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'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 i'm
mediate attention Of the Secretary.

SHIP YARD.

There is no industry in Aberdeen better
located than her ship-yards. With the
finest and longest ship timbers in the
world, with well-equipped foundry and
machine shop, and plenty OF deep water
in which to launch her vessels, this city,
in time, is destined to become one OF the
largest ship-building points in the coun-
try. Last September, from this ship
yard was launched large three-masted
schooner, the ~. M. Weatherwax,"
which is one of the finest vessels of the
kind on the coast. The building Of. this
vessel, for labor alone, distributed O,O0O.
Preparations are being made now for the
building of three ships the coming
season.

His Lineage.

From the Ontario Record, a paper
published in Southern California,
we clip the following from the April
LIST issue:
"We were interested to learn, a
few days since, that Hon. w. A.
Whiting, whose selection as the
new Attorney General in the Cab
met of Queen Liliuokalani, of the
Hawaiian Islands, we mentioned
recently, traces his descent through
eight generations in America and
thirty in England to William the
Norman in two distinct lines.
Among his noble ancestors are ten
European sovereigns and many other
noted historical characters. Mr..
Whiting certainly has reason to be
proud of his lineage as well as his
present eminence."

Another Blaze in the Chinese
Quarters.
TO be Contlnued.l


At 11:20 P. M. on April 10th, an
alarm was turned in by the Mutual
Telephone Company to the Bell
Tower of fire on Nuuanu street a
few doors below Queen Emma Hall.
The building in which the fire broke
out was occupied below by Lee
Quong as clothing store and above
by another Chinaman as photo
graph gallery. The origin of the
fire could not be learned, but those
first to the scene detected a strong
odor of kerosene. The fire soon
spread to the upper stories of the
buildings on either side. Judging
by the smell these quarters must
have been occupied by Cinnamon
who evidently had mortal dread OF
water for any purpose.
Engine Company No. 2 were the
first on the scene, closely followed
by No. l. It was but a few minutes
till several strong streams of water
were turned on and the fire under
control. While it is notorious fact
that the fire companies are all vol
unteers, the boys worked with will,
thinking only of putting out the
fire. The people of Honolulu owe
the fremen a considerable debt, as
they are certainly good guardians
and believers IN home protection.

is term applied to Faneuil Hall,
Boston, Mass, built by Peter Faneuil
in 1742, and presented by him to the
municipality: it was destroyed by
fire, and rebuilt in 1851. Because it
was so often used for patriotic meet
ings in Revolutionary times, it was
known by the appellation given
above. New Orleans is widely known
as the " Crescent City," so called be-
cause it was built around bend in
the Mississippi; in its recent growth
it has extended around bend further

Ozark and Bloody Ground" is a
name frequently applied to the State
of Kentucky; it is said to be trans
lation of the Indian word Kan
tuk-ee." The name was originally
bestowed because this section was
the battle ground of the northern
and southern tribes, and later the
constant feuds between the settlers
and the native red-men rendered this
epithet peculiarly suggestive. The
States south of Mason and Dixon's
line are known as Dixie;" this ex-
preston is also applied to fabulous
realm of peace and plenty, which
forms the basis of many negro me-
lodies. 1T is said that a Mr.. Dixie
was slave holder on Manhattan
Island. and was compelled to move
south, where his slaves were requir-
ed to work ceaselessly. They often
sighed for their northern home, or
'Dixie's land,' which in time became
to the entire colored race in the
south q species of Utopia, like the
Ell Dorado of the Spaniards, or the
Hesperides of the ancients." The

the coast of Rhode Island, because
of its productiveness; this isle is
also known as the Isle of Peace"
The term Sci Dorado is Spanish
and means "the gilded man." When
the Spanish hordes had devastated
Peru and Mexico they commenced to
look for new treasures, and having
heard of a golden city ruled by a
monarch smeared in oil and covered
with fine gold dust, they organ
lied innumerable expeditions which
searched all over North and South
America for this golden realm. The
story of the gilded king was found
ed on a report concerning an annual
custom of sane Indian tribes; of
course the land of gold was never
found. but the term lei Dorado"
has become synonym for country
of unmeasured wealth.

times applied to the people or soil
of southern Illinois. At one time
