GRAKS HARB0R.

About fifty miles north OF the Column
bia river is the entrance to Gravs harbor
from the Pacific ocean, long known to
navigators as the most accessible and
safest harbor on the coast. The bar car
res depth of from eighteen to twenty
three feet OF water at low tide, ~.,lvii
increases from ten to fifteen feet ut high
tide. The entrance, or channel, about a
mile wide, and the extreme width Of the
harbor is twelve miles, gradually tapering
to point at its eastern end, where it is
met by the Chehalis 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-
tensive H. ld 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 a depth OF 40 feet.
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-looked, and the
shelter it affords from storms is complete.
During the past year over one hundred
sailing 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
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 60 to reach that
city, is over one hundred miles north
OF it; thus q 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 underslcsA w
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.

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 a 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 10000.
Preparations are being made now for the
building of three ships the coming
season.

PUBIC SCHOOLS

Much attention is gwen in Aberdeen to
the education OF the young, and the two
school houses are well equipped with the
most improved furniture and apparatus
The graded schools of Aberdeen have
alneady become noted for their efficiency.
Preparation is being made for the erection
OF a new central school building to cost
$4,000. The public school in January,

hundred pupils.

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
300, 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 Californis
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 much cheape,
than at the other ports mentioned
The shipment abroad for the year 1896
was $4,000, 900; the home consumption
being about 9,OO0, 900. On the wharf this
lumber represented value of over $780,
600, 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, 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, 1000. 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 romewhat inadequate; the
people, however, have voted sufficient
water bonds, the sale Of which has pro-
vided money for such an improvement OF
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.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The city fire department is thoroughly
organized and well equipped. Water is
supplied from the bay by stationary
pumping engine, running right and day,
Hydrants are located at convenient in
tervals and connections are essily made
when necessary. The apparatus con-
sists OF three hose-carts, two thousand
one hundred and fifty feet OF hose, and a
first-c1ass hook and ladder truck. There
are eighty-four members of the fire de-
partment, divided into three companies,
under command of chief and four
assistants.

After numbering, tine next important

A factory for furniture exclusively

MONEY IN BEANS.
The l300-acre ranch of Dixie Thomp-
sons, just below town, will produce
more value this season than many
whole counties in Kansas. At fair
estimateit it will produce 1000, 900 pounds
of beans, which at the present market
price of cents a pound will make Mr..
Thompson gross sum OF 100000.
1t is safe to say that he made more
than that sum from his Ventura county
ranch last season and he can truthfully
say, with others, that there is money in
beans.-Ventura Free Press.
WHEN TO PLANT ORANGE TREES.
The Pathological society, at its last
meeting in Riverside, accepted the fol-
lowing statement as the society's views
on the best time to set out citrus trees
In the opinion of this society, the
spring and early summer are the seasons
which experience has demonstrated to
be best suited to citrus fruit tree trans
planting; and that it is essential to the
best success that they should be moved
only at time when the buds are be-
ginning to show signs of starting, or at
the latest before the new growth shall
have reached two inches in length; and
in no event when the tree is dormant.
While such trees are being transferred
from the nurseries to their places in the
orchard all exposure OF the roots to the
sun or dry wind should be avoided to
secure the best results; and the irrigat-
ing water should be applied with
promptness and effectiveness, immedi-
ately upon the covering OF the roots
with the soil.

A Pomona man sent large box of
young orange blossoms to a Cincinnati
florist last week for decoration at the
wedding of millionaires. The florist
paid $25 for the blossoms, and has tele-
graphed that nearly three-fourths of
them arrived in Cincinnati in fine con-
dition. The stems of the blossoms were
carefully placed in potatoes, and wax
put about the stem to keep the moist
ure in the vegetable. The juice of pota-
toes will keep flowers or blossoms fresh
and fragrant for over a week sometimes.

120 miles wide by 180 long, including
portion of Los Angeles, San Bernardino

any other of the same or even approx
mately the same area on the globe.
There may be enumerated oranges, lem
