Aberdeen and Her Fisheries.

Another industry of principal impor-
lance here is the fishing interests CT the
region. Grays Harbor and all it's tribu-
tary streams are stocked with millions OF
salmon and other fish. The catching
and packing OF these fish is one of the
thriving industries OF Aberdeen, which is
constantly increasing in Importance and
IN the amount Of it's output. Banks OF
halibut, cod and other deep sea fish are
located just off the north of the Harbor,
and as this is about the only port between
the Columbia river and Puget S-s'1na; +
certainly must be the great deep sea fish
market of the North Pacific Coast. The
mart for these fish is from the coast to
Minnesota. Preparations are already
under way to develop this very impor-
tant food supply.

Aberdeen, on crays Harbor.
The Gateway to an Empire.

The most casual glance at any map
showing the coast line Of Washington will
show that Grays Harbor is the natural
gateway to the new state OF Washington.
1t will show that from Aberdeen to the
head of Puget Sound it is but forty miles
by rail, while the distance between the
two points by water is fully FOUR HUN
DRIED MILES, or in other words, from
the time ship passes Grays Harbor
north bound for Seattle or Tacoma, until
she passes again going south, she has
travelled OVER SEVEN HUNDRED
MILES. In addition to this, her captain
has paid out nearly one thousand dollars
tow bill for being towed BOTH ways from
the Straits OF Juan de Fuca to Seattle or
Tacoma and back to the ocean. Whereas
with the completion of railroads already
under construction, that ship will come
into Grays Harbor, get her freight, which
can be brought to her from the wheat
belt of Eastern Washington at the SAME
RATE 1T WILL BE LAID DOWN ON
THE SHORES OF PUGET SOUND,
because there can be no question but that
Aberdeen as acoastwise port viii be made
a common point with Seattle, Tacoma
and Portland on all through rate sheets

Aberdeen, Natures Metrop-
oils of Southwestern
Washington.

1t is one of the wonders of western de-
velopment and civilization that Seattle,
Tacoma and Spokane Falls, have become
household words from the Rocky Noun
tains to the Atlantic coast, and Aber-
deem, a city that has local resources equal
to either of them, and one whose loca-
ton as seaport furnishes advantages far
superior to the Sound cities, should, up
to eighteen months ago, be comparatively
unknown. Such was the case until new
blood, new money and new men, recog-
nizing the fact that with the filing up
and development of the new state, there
must be a great coast wise city on the
shores OF Grays Harbor, and that Aber
deems magnificent location at the june
ton of two rivers and at the head of nav
igation would easily place her far in ad-
vance of any point or city in Southwest
ern Washington, located themselves there
and worked industriously and intelli
gently to make known to the general
public, the tremendous resources OF the
Grays Harbor country. The result OF
their work is that no city in the North
west is better thought of or is attracting
more careful attention from the investor,
business man, Spectator or home Seeker
and mechanic, than this thriving city at
the head Of Grays Harbor.

mingles it's waters with those OF the Che
halls, which, in turn, merges itself into
Gray's Harbor, about one mile below the
mouth Of the Wishkah. This junction,
at the mouths of two rivers and q bay,
gives Aberdeen deep water frontage not
equaled by any city on the Sound or in
the state, and make it natural
location for the building OF city.
The business portion of the town is stu
ated on level apron of land running
back from the river for distance OF. four
or FIVE blocks, where it begins to rise by
a gentle slope to height Of fifty to sew
enty-five feet above the water line There
it maintains level plateau for an indefi-
mite distance back, where the fine resi-
dence portion OF the city will undoubtedly
be built. From it a splendid view may
be obtained of the valley and the harbor !;
and the sanitary conditions are all that
NAV be desired

Aberdeen, Yesterday, to-day
and Tomorrow.

Notwithstanding the vastness of the
undeveloped resources of this region. and
in spite of the disadvantages OF poor COM
muncation, both of which should tend to
hamper so materially her growth and
progress. Aberdeen's superior location
was too obvious to be overlooked, and
pioneer enterprise has established itself
here. Five years ago the site on which
the city is built was covered with timber.
Eighteen months ago we had 800
people; to-day the city has population
of more than 1000. 1t is the manufacture
ing, commercial and financial center Of the
great Gravs Harbor basin. Here have
been attracted cluster of industries that
have an aggregate payroll OF 100000 per
month. These consist of four saw mills,
three canneries, boiler, machine-shops
and foundry, sash and door plant, plan
ing mill, ship-yard, brewery, clear manu-
factory, metal works, ett. Aberdeen is
at present the best lighted city OF its size
in the state. Brilliant arc lights flash
out in the night from every corner. The
offices and stores are lighted by a perfect
system of incandescent lights.

Climate.

Hot nights are unknown, while during
the day the temperature rarely ranges
above ninety degrees, this mitigation be-
ing the effect of the cool, fresh breeze Of
the sea, that fans the western shore of
the state.
The chief feature of the winter is rain,
but there is always an intermission Of
pleasant weather, lasting for month
sometimes. These wet seasons are not
dsera'hing downpours of heavy rain, but
are, as a rule, gentle showers, working
much good to the soil and fitting itf

In the coolest weather the mercr
rerely touches zero, while snow rarl
remains ON the ground, and then only II
the unexposed quarters, for more than
few wae,-s at a time; indeed, heavy fall
OF SNOW is rather the exception than the
rule. n the summer months the land is
famed by gentle breezes, waited from the
ocean, while heavy gales and violent
storms are unknown. The temperate and
genial climate, especially in its freedom
from the sudden variations which prevail
elsewhere, has much to do with the gem
eral nealthfulness of the Pacific North
west.
Southwestern Washington is favored
with a climate of remarkable equability.
The average temperature for spring is So

tumn So degrees, and for winter 3S de-

Railroads..

The best evidence of Aberdeen's i'm
portance as an ocean port and short-line
cutoff to the sea, is that offered by the
efforts that the Northern Pacific are max
ing to reach this city in advance of the
o. & w. I. r. R. This latter road, III
turn, is striving to the limit of its powers
to outstrip its formidable rival in the
race to the head Of navigation on Grays
iIarbor.
These two roads have between them
some four thousand men at work between
Tacoma, on Puget Sound; Centralia, at
the head OF the valley, and this city. The
N. P. r. r. having bought the Puget
Sound 4 Grays Harbor railroad, will be
able to make rail connection with Port
land, Tacoma and the east, via Centralia
and Montesano, as soon as Jan. |. AT the
present time they are at work with large
force of men in South Aberdeen clearing
for freight yards, warehouses, docks and
passenger depot. In conjunction with
the South Aberdeen Company, they are
erecting large number of buildings,
both for business and residence purposes
They also have a large force of men at
work on the north side OF the river build
ing. their lines in to the city proper. The
o. & W. T. r. r., better known as the
Hunt Road, will probably reach Aber-
deem about next spring with
their train service. This road will no
doubt be used by the Union Pacific for
its ocean outlet upon the completion Of
the latter road from Portland to Puget
Sound
These three roads are the most import
ant ones now seeking to reach the
Grays Harbor country; although there

Water Works.

The Aberdeen Water Company re-
Gently put in water plant for fire pro-
lection, at cost Of $4,000. Pipes were
laid on all the principal streets with ten
and eight inch mains. A battery of Dow
pumps Of large capacity furnish ample
power to throw four two-inch streams
over any block in the city. Early in
October the city voted bonded indebt-
edness Of $65 600, the money to be spent
in putting in first-class plant for both
fire. protection and domestic use. An
additional IS 900 was also voted for the
purchase OF the present plant. When
the work is completed, Aberdeen's water
supply will be excelled by none in the
state, as particularly favorable terms
were offered by the owner Of an excellent
Szaaply within the city limits.
