few kegs of beer, gallons of whisky,
hundreds of cigars, or other goods,
and in many instances, the town lots
have not been purchased but are
merely held on commission.
Such kickers are simply |
out of patience because |
people do not rush in and purchase
their goods at big percentage ef ad-
vance, rapidly enough to make the
vendors rich in a few weeks. They
are frequently men who if they cleared
one hundred dollars per day would be
disguised because they were not max
ing two hundred per day, and who if
making two hundred would roar with
impotence because they were not
making five hundred and so on, ad
infinitum. And, generally, when they
have cleared all they can in the way OF
cash they clear out.
The fact is that Fairhaven has be-
gun TO settle down to a solid basis.
The city is growing TO be one of estab-
lished, legitimate business, a city of
homes, schools, churches, institutions,
society. 1t is no longer a camp and
t all its former camp features are pass
I ing away. People who expect to make
Stakes by the business methods of
outsiders in the mining and
: numbering camp; by brass band
real estate booms and all that
d sort of thing have come to the
wrong place. Fairhayen is taking
rank among the established cities OF
= the Pacific Coast, and the earnest
:. energetic, far-sghted, careful ano
a solid people in it are directing It's
course in legitimate commerce and to
= ward commercial supremacy.

Fairhaven, but who having heard o
its unprecedented growth and IL
70 phenomenal prosperity, now that i
re has assumed a steady gait, talk abou
about its busted boom" and all tina
A sort of thing when it never had

Of Washington. He will take them in

Later on he, or some other president,
will come to this region on purpose to
see the greatest of all the cities of the

exactly prepared today to show it to
him, but in few more years this city

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH

Well, what is Fairhaven going to do
about the Fourth of July? 1t is time
a meeting was being called to discuss
the celebration, appoint committees
and prepare generally for the big
event. Leading men in the city are
anxious to help make the celebration
the greatest ever known in the state.

great style last year and are willing to
come and see us celebrate this time,
Work should begin at once as there is
no time to lose. We can get up a pro-
gramme that will astonish the natives
and the strangers within our gates.
Make a move for the big time. 1t will
be a great pleasure, and moreover it
will pay Our British cousins, near
by, desire to come and celebrate
with us and there will be an oppor-
tunity for patriotic missionary work.

The war is therefore a
natural one. Clashing interests
always produce war, and when the
newspaper takes sides it gets into
trouble. As the HERALD doesn't own
either the gardens or the animals,
the parties can fight it out between

nected with the HERALD, however,
who own gardens and shot-guns both,
also fences, and animals that climb
fences are not safe i'm some localities.
