GRAYS HARBOR.

About fifty miles north OF the Column
hi. ,;ver is the entrance to Grays harbor.
from the Pacific ocean, long known 10
navicators as the most accessible ana
safest barbor on the coast. The bar a"
ries n depth of from eighteen to twenty
three feet of water at low tide, ""'."
increases from ten to fifteen feet at high
tide. The entrance, or channel, isapout
m;le wide. and the extreme width OF the
hsrbor is twelve miles, gradually tapefins
to a point at its eastern end, where II Is
met nv the Chehalis and Wishkah rivers.
In the harhor there are three well denneu
channels offering ample anchorage room
and merging into one broad, deep channei
ar roadstead, near the head oil the haroor'
These channels are separated from each
other and from the shore proper by ex-
tensiye mud flats up to the point oil ther
c,pvercence. where the volume oil water,
ha;no more confined, has swept them
awav. and the water is deep up 10 the
very shore line. At the head OF the har-
Dor the channel is over two Thousand
feet wide, carrying depth OF 40 ieet.
The expense of continuing this width ana
depth to the sea would not be great ana
no doubt will be done as soon AS proper
s,rvevs can be made on which an estimate
of cost can be based. Once these I'M
movements are made, the flow OF water
is sufficiently strong to keep 1t from snoai-
inc The harbor is land-loCkej, and the
shelter it affords from storms is complete.
During the past year over one hundred
sailing vessels and from iour to SIX steam
ers per month have crossed and re-crosseo
the Gravs harbor bar and not one acci-
dent has occurred; in fact. during the
eight or ten wears the harbor mas neen
used as Il deep water port not single
vessel has met disaster going or coming
This harbor is three hundred and hfty
miles neare, 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 ON lNIu hoht viz "
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 a passenger from San Francisco,
bound for Tacoma, saves more than
tue hundred miles Of the distance now
travelled by coming into Grays haroor
and completing his journey bysixty miles
of rail. Distance is .imr, time is money.
These facts are thoroughly understce~ =,
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 haibor 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.

SALMON CANNERIES.

The Oldest industries of Aberdeen are
its 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 u value of $4,000.
Other established industries include 4
we'll equipped steam laundry, cigar fac
tory, employing five or six men, soda
works and many others.

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
when there was no expectation OF there
being so large city here, and conse-
quently is eomewhat inadequate; the
people, however, have voted sufficient
water bonds, the sale Of which has pro-
vided money for such an improvement oil
the system as will furnish supply OF
pure water sufficient for a population OF
forty thousand. For fire protection there
is an inexhaustible supply of salt water,
taken from the Chehalis river.

THE MOTOR LINE.

Aberdeen will soon be connected with
Hoquiam on the west by an electric motor
line. The Pacific Wheless Railroad Com
pany have obtained franchises from both
cities, and fled bonds in the sum OF five
thousand dollars that thu work on this
road will be begun at once and hurried
forward as fast Us men and money can
push it until it is in operation. What
the road ill do for Aberdeen is already
felt, to some extent, in the increased in
terest manifested in the territory it ira
verses.
HARBOR CHARGES IND LNSLlR-
.4NCE 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
tance 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
Grsys 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 Y. NJ. G. A. meeting at Kansas
City has closed, and most successful
meeting it was. More than 500 members
were present and the deep interest shown
in the work is a favorable commentary.
In this active, business age of the world :,
a time when christianity is assailed from
all sides, and weakened by disagree
ments among its supporters upon matters
of minor importance. it is point worthy
of note to see such an army of the young
business men of the country, gathered
from many states, devote so profitable a
week to this work. The press of the land
has also given full space to reports of the
meeting, and the general surface inter-
est has been equal to that shown purely
business meeting or Il Commercial Con-
gress, and in religious matters the under
current is always greater than appears on
the surface.

SAM PETERS ought to be the next gov.
ernor of Kansas. His years of expert
ence in public life, his honesty and econ
omy in public as well as private affairs,
his unimpeachable record, his sympathy
with the masses of the people, especially
with the farmers and old soldiers, all
point to him as the best and most avail
able man for the republicans to select as
their standard bearer for 1892 During
all the time he has been in public service
there has not been single blot upon his
reputation, not even hint that he has
used his official position to help him to a
snap or deal. All these qualities are need
ed in the contest of next year and though
Mr.. Peters has voluntarily retired from
public life he is too patriotic citizen to
refuse call from the people of Kansas.

emoluments are less than that which he

LAST year the main cry of the demo-
Gratis. alliance and some scarry republic
cans was that the Mckinley bill would
raise all prices and those especially men,
toned were tin ware, binding Irvine, har-
ness. sugar, cutlery, boots and shoes.
Every one of these articles is cheaper than
before the bill went into effect. These
false prophets were not killed by the
shock. they simply went into their holes
to hatch out new theories and are now
just coming out with their brood, and a
sorry set they are. SOckless shanks and
long whiskers take the place of brains,
rotting grain and vegetables are to be
the basis of our currency, money is to be
loaned for less rate of interest than it is
taxed. They must get better eggs or
set lOnger-say about 1000 years.

WHAT is the matter with the tramps
who are prowling through the country
looking for anything except work. Nine
ont of ten of these tourists who are beg
ging their way over the country are able
bodied. strong men, and after good use
of soap and water we notice they do not
possess the horny hand of the toiler.
Throughout the state we see that there
is demand for farm laborers. The pay
is good, the board wholesome, and the
labor not burdensOme, yet these men will
not work on the farm unless they are ac-
tually hungry. Very few people will
turn a hungry man away without bite
to eat and these lazy rascals have made
up their minds that the world owes them
a living and they are OH: collecting it.
There is work for these fellows but they
prefer to set around and talk about the
rascality of the parties in power and the
inevitable taxes that are sapping the very
life blood of the country. They are ready
to run to any fire. ball game or labor
meeting, though they would run from
the work. This class of people are ever
ready to join any new movement by
which they can hope to. sponge living.
1t is doubtful whether we should feed
these tramps or not. If they could get but
two or three meals week they would be
less choice as to the kind of labor they
performed, and would take what they
could find, and be glad to earn an honest
meal and comfortable shelter.

THE meanest thing ever said about the

THE meanest thing ever said about the
republican party was in a recent number
of the alliance -Id1ocate. 1t says the re-
publican party is but a side show to the
Bourbon democracy, and warns farmers
to let it alone. If the statement were
true the warning would be in place, but
to call a party an adjunct to one that it
has nearly pounded the life out of every
year since the solons of the Ad-'ocote were
old enough to give up their diet of milk.
is little too naughty. But to accuse re-
publicans of the crime of associating
with democrats, is indeed horrible.

FRANK LESLIE'S Illustrated Paper has
the following to say of President Harri-
son: president Harrison intrusted the
state portfolio to one of the keenest and
most popular of American statesmen.
There was thus, at the outset of the adj
ministratiOn, combination of two pow
erful lntellects- one impetuOus, Wig
orous, alert and strategic; the other calm,
patient. thoughtful and discerning. While
the eloquent voice of MIR. Blaine has been
heard in favor of reciprocity it was the
mastery judgment of the president HIM
self that led to the formulation of the act
of congress giving him the power to
secure reciprocal trade relations, without
the delay and risk that treaty making al
ways invites and involves; that it was the
president himself who dictated the
prompt and powerful letter to the COVER
nor of Louisiana protesting against the
New Orleans outbrake; who opened the
way for the material increase in the coin
age of of silver in the face of protests from
Wall street, and who earnestly and cOur-
ageously espOused the cause of protection
and fastened the passage of the McKin-
ley bill, which more than any other since
the close of the war has emphasized the
attitude of the republican party regard

THERE are some things we can learn
even from England. At least they can
corroborate what we have learned from
our own experience. Thirty years ago
new town was laid out in the suburbs of
Liverpool and clause was inserted in
the building leases forbidding the selling
of liquor. The inhabitants of the place.
$4,000 in number, are mainly of the arti-
san classes. Only As of them have APP
piled for public aid in thirty years. Near
by is another town with One-eighth the
area and between IL 900 and 1900 peO-
pie. 1t is settled by the same class of
people. but has one hundred saloons.
Here OIL people are supported. in part or
wholly. by the town. The death rate in
the two places is also worthy of note. In
the prohibition town it is from ten to
twelve per thousand, In the other it is
never less than twenty-five per thousand.
Shall we restore the saloons to Kansas

party of others capsized, took one young
man who did not know how to swim by

then swan back and performed the same
office for another. Young men have saved

THERE is liable to be an interesting
naval engagement if the U. S. cruiser
Charleston overtakes the Gillian free
boOter Itata which it is after in hot haste,
making 10 knots per hour. The Itata is
probably accompanied by the Esmeralda
one of the best of Gillian war vessels,
and much similar to the Charleston. The
offense of the Itata is that of Quitting a
war vessel in neutral waters, which is to
make her liable to confiscation if caught,
or if in the future she should enter our
ports. The Mexican Government says
the Itata will not be allowed to land at
her ports.

The democratic papers should not be
blamed for bowling about the shortage
in the treasury. AS long as the
republican party has been in power there
has not been. nor will there be time
when they can truthfully say there is a
shortage. One great fact about the re-
publican party is that its faults are mainly
in the past or the future. Cleveland's adj
ministration left large deficiencies. The
republicans paid them all and gave back
to the states S22 100000 of direct tax
money and has enough left to carry on
government without shortage. Demo-
cratic papers have been known to yarn.

UNDER the good old democratic days
farmers could trade $50 bushels of corn for
a cook stove, his wife could trade 100
dozen eggs for 40 pounds of sugar, 81
bushels of corn bought pair of shoes.
Under the republican Mckinley law that
$50 bushels of corn will buy good wag-
on and better stove; the 100 dozen eggs
will buy 200 pounds of sugar. The 81
bushels of corn now buys five pair of
good shoes and two pair of working
shoes.
