WHAT has become of the bill for an oil
inspector? 1t is known that a strong
lobby is working against II. A bill of
so great Importance must not be lost sight
of. The author of the measure should
take great care that it is brought before
the attention of the house very on

For the information of our esteemed
contemporary we will say that it has gone
to join the bills providing for a state en-

TIE HELENA POSTUFFJrE.

According to our dispatches from Hell
eua, the president yesterday sent to the
senate the name of T. III. Clewell for
postmaster at Helena. This ends a much
talked of conflict over patronage between
the two alleged senators from Montana
and the son Of his pa. The two fore
named gentlemen proposed James
Walker of the Herald, but as Prince Rus
sell owns the only other Republican
paper in Helena, he was afraid Mr..
Walker would learn something concern
ING its circua'',on, so he objects. The OBJ
lection seems To have been sustained by
the president. 1t is now in order for the
Helena Journal to conn out and say that
Russell never opposed Walker.

Curtis has faithfully discharged the
duties to which he was appointed by
Cleveland.

Meeting the throat with the air bladder.
Few, if any of the modern lung fishes
inhale the air direct. 1t is probable
that the pirarucu of the Amazon, which

Antiquity of the Bedbug.

One of the earliest and most annoy
ing of insects is that midnight ma
4'auder, the bedbug. An English nat
uralist has discovered proofs that this
domestic pest was quite common in the
armies of the world at least one hun
dred and twenty years before the Chris
tan era, aud that he was ever sea
rover, as the fleets of that day had their

CHAPTER XVII.

All that morning the gale continued
fresh and the sea dangerous. We
found that the ship was regularly max
ing nine or ten inches of water an
hour; and after the funeral we turned
to and pumped her out again.
But this heavy work, coupled with
our extreme anxiety and the perils and
labor we had gone through was begin
ming to tell heavily upon us. The stew
ard showed signs of what strength he
had coming to an end, and Cornish s
face had a worn and wasted look, as of
a man who has tasted long The boat
swain supported this fatigue best, and
always went cheerfully to work, and
had encouraging words for us all. AS
for me, what suffered most was,
strange to say, the eternal rolling of
the ship. At times it completely nau-
seated me. Also it gave me racking
headache, and occasionally the motion

ST. /OSEPHS HOSPI7Z.

One of the best and most important
institutions in Aberdeen is the hos:ital
established here this last summer by the
Dominican sisters, of New York, an in
stitution that is calculated to do great
good on account of the accidents resulting
from the many mills and logging camps
that are in continual operation in this
Grays harbor country.
The sisters at present occupy three
frame buildings, but tie plans have just
been completed for large and commo-
dious brick structure that will be built
at once. This building will offer every
accommodation possible for the sick, and
be an ornamen. to the city.
From October LIST to December 31st,
twenty-one patients were treated in the
hospital, coming from all parts of the
harbcr. m almost every instance the
patients were suffering from accidental
injuries.

HARBoR CHARGES AND LMsUR

ANCE ON SH/PHING.
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 a 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
lance 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
Grays 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.

TIE CENZRAL 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
CtAalis and Wishkah rivers, sixteen
mlfes 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 its mouth.
Aberdeen was originally founded as a
mill town some seven OF eight years ago,
but its commercial growth has been mat
terof 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 a realization of this
has pushed the town into commercial
prominence and accounts for its recent
rapid growth.

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, a home corporation, having paid
up capital stock Of $4,000. 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 people, have voted sufficient
water bonds, the sale of which has pro-
vided money for sucn an improvement OF
the system as will furnish a supply OF
pure water sufficient for population Of
forty thousand. This system is now in
operation.

SKIPY 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$ SIC. 900.
Since then the steamers Getty of Aber-
deem" and "Clan Mcdonald" have been
built and launched.

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 members of the fire de-
partment, divided into three companies,
under command Of chief and four
assistants.

GR6Ys HARB0R.

About fifty miles north of the Column
bia river is the entrance to Grays harbor.
from the Pacific ocean, long known to
navigators as the most accessible and
safest harbor ON the coast. The bar car
ries depth of from eighteen to twenty
three feet OF water at low tide, -nion
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 a 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-
tensiye IL 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 depth OF 40 feet.
The.expense Of continuing this width and
depth 10 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 i'm
provements are made, the flow of water
is sufficiently strong to keep it from shoal-
ing. The harbor is land-loCked, and the
shelter it affords from storms is complete.
During the past year over one hundred
sailing vessels and from Jour to six steam
ers per month have crossed and re-crossed
the Grays harbor bar. and not one acci-
dent has occurred in fact, during the
eight or ten years the harbor has been
used as q deep water port not single
vessel has met disaster going or coming.
This harbor is three hundred and fifty
miles uearei 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 90 to reach that
city, is over one hundred miles north
of it; thus passenger from San Francisco
bound for Tacoma, saves more thar
fiue hundred miles of the distance now
travelled by coming into Grays harbol
and completing his journey by sixty miles
of rail- Distance is time, time is money
These facts are thoroughly underslc.. y,
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.

school houses are well 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.
