FINANCIAL.

Aberdeen has two banking institutions,
the Aberdeen Bank and the First National
Bank. The first is an Incorporated state
bank, organized in 'S7, and within the last
month has been reorganized with a cap
ital stock Of 1850, 900, increasing the num-
Der of stockholders from two to five, and
adding to their regular banking business
a savings bank department.
The First National Bank has paid up
capital Of $50, 900 and it's officers and
directors are among the leading fiDanciers
Of the State.
The local deposits OF these banks are
from 100000 to $4,000 per month.
A local Building and Loan Association
has just been organized and in few
weeks will be prepared to furnish money
for the erection Of buildings in this city.

AS elsewhere stated, the lumber trade
is the chief industry Of Aberdeen. To
make this p.os:inent and enduring the
matter of supply is Of vital Importance
and the requirements are fully met.
North east and south Of Grays harbor
there issuch quantity of timber available
nat no child born into the world to-day
an expect to see it used up or even be-
ome difficult of access. The timber bear
ig land within reasonable reach OF the
waters Of the harbor are variously esti-
mated at from two to four thousand square
miles, and when it is considered that
there are from four to fifty million
feet to the square mile, the figures of the
available supply are simply us. normoe
All this timber must necessity find it's
way down the rivers that flow into the
harbor, and the saving of it into luEaber
will alone build great city at Aberdeen.

AGRICUL TURE.

While this is timber country it must
not be supposed that agriculture is ne
elected; on the contrary, along the rivers
and streams many good farms have been
cleared off that produce the finest vege-
tables in the world, grass in immense
quantities and most excellent fruit. Many
varieties of apples, pears, plums, prunes,
cherries and small fruits are grown in
profusion and great perfection.
The best grain crop in this section is
oats, after which wheat, rye, and barley.
Corn does not do we'll, nor any crop re-
quiring hot days and nights, as these we
do not have. Beside the home market,
we have all the world easy of access, but
the home demand is SO great for all the
products Of the country that there is at
present no need of shipping abroad.
For dairying there is no country on
earth superior to this. With abundance
of pure water, no hot weather and unex-
celled pasturage, there is at present every
condition for successful and profitable
dairying.

FOOD FISHERIES.

No inconsiderable item Of the natural
resources of this region is it's fisheries,
and the canning Of salmon, as noticed
elsewhere, is profitable and growing in
dustry. The salmon are large, plentiful
and of unsurpassed quality. Some of the
different varieties are caught at all times
of the year, and the home market is
always supplied. Rock and tom-cod,
white bass or porgies, founders, halibut,
and herring are also plentiful. Smelt and
American sardines are taken in great
numbers. These are the fish Of CONNER
cial Importance, but does not include
trout which are found in abundance.
Among shell-fish are shrimps, crabs
and CLAIMS of several varieties. HOLSTERS
have been planted here and are propagat-
ing very rapidly.

THE CLIMATE.

One Of the chief questions asked, and
often, the firstis, "What ofyour climate ?"
Well, many things! 1t is not perfect, bu
probably as nearly SO as you will find on
this earth. During the winter of 1890-91
we had no snow up to the first of Febru-
airy, and then only few days Of cold and
known the therm orneter stood at eighteen
degreese abov zero.
The rainy season begins about the first
of December and is over by the
first of April This is our winter and
during this time the rains are no heavier
than in the month of April in the middle
states. Over half OF the days between
these dates are as warm and balmy as the
first of June in most states north OF
Mason and Dixon's line" Yards are
green, house plants bloom in the open
air, all kinds OF out door occupations are
pursued every day in the year. We
have no dangerous winds, no billiards.,
no sudden changes from heat to cold, and
heavy thunder is unknown.

The Flight Of the wild Duck.

A number of gentlemen interested in
ooting were congregated at Cross's gun
pre- last evening, says the Omaha Bee,
ben the conversation turned upon the
ICED Of wild ducks, a subject on which
ERE is some diversity Of opinion. John
ftty, probably one Of the best shots Of
lid fowl in the west, said:

"But the canvassback is the racer OF

Iork. When this duck is taking things
asy. enjoying little trip around the
lock, as it were, he goes through the air
the rate Of about eighty miles an hour.

BOARD or TRADE.

The Board Of Trade is composed Of
about one hundred members, among
whom are the active and substantial bust
ness men of the city. The board was
organized for the promotion Of Aberdeen
interests in particular and the harbor and
county generally, and is thoroughly pre-
pared to meet any emergency that may
arise.
The board will be glad at any time to
furnish general and particular informa-
ton to any who may wish it, and any
request for the same will receive the i'm
mediate attention of the Secretary.

SALMON CANNERIES.

The Oldest industries of Aberdeen are
it's salmon cannerles, 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 value Of $4,000.
Other established Industries include a
well equipped steam laundry, cigar fac
tory, employing five or six men, soda
works and many others.

drake or leader. A drake does not al
ways lead, but generally does if there is
one in the flock; If there are more they
seldom take the lead, but wise old hen
will generally be found there. If you
wish to bring her down you must aim at
least light feet ahead Of her, and if she
falls you will find her long distance off,
say several hundred yards.
"rhe mallard is slower; II is all he can
do to make mile a minute, but he can
do it il he wants to. His regular fight
is about forty-five miles an hour.
"The black duck is close relative to
the mallard, is also slow compared with
the canvassback, and the pintail, widgeon
and wood-duck are but little faster. The
redhead can go easy and make ninety
miles an hour as long as he likes, all day
if necessary. The blue wing teal, and
his beautiful cousin the green wing, can
fly side by side and make 100 miles
an hour without turning a feather.
"And may be you think a wild goose
can't fly. But he can. If you see flock of
big Canadas moving along so high up that
they seem to be scraping the sky with
their backs, you would hardly think they
were making 100 miles an hour, but they
are. The wild goose is not much Of a
pedestrian, but on the wing he is hum
mer."

VACANT LANDS.

There is little Government land near
Aberdeen to be taken up, except in the
unserveyed districts to the north and a
small section of country south Of the
haruor; OF this there is yet a large
amount unoccupied. Actual possession
is the only title obtainable to unsurveyed
lands, but the settler in good faith has nc
trouble to hold his claim.

sufficient money obtainable to survey al
