What the People are Saying.
1t has come to nice pass when q
city cart can out vote an intelligent
tax payer.
The cart votes the man who drives
il; the mule that pulls the cart knows
nothing about parties or politics,
neither does his driver or the cart.
But the owner of the cart and mule,
is "unhombre de infloojoys." He votes
the city cart and others of like intelli-
gence because he is able to control
$hem.
The people are not to blame if they
want city administration that is
not Kept in place by the city cart.
The people want city administra-
ton that willrepresent the intelligence,
the worth, the decency, the law and
order of the community.
It has certainly cmoe to a nicecon-
-dition of things whenit becomes dan
gerOus to express an opinion about
the administration of city affairs.
The rule of the ruffian and slugger
should come to an end.
When the committee of 800 Assem- BILE
to nominate ticket, let it remain as
a committee of public safety.
Let them agree to remain organized
and to divide their forces to guard
the polls on election day.
The fact is the people have become
alarmed at the condition of our city
affairs.
The principal and interest on our
bonded debt amounts to over one
million dollars. What have we got to
show for it?
A few blocks of mesquite pavement,
a few miles of graded streets, and
miles and miles of torn up streets,
and miles and miles of worn out
streets; unfinished sidewalks, etc., is
the sum total of public Improvements
The Express, the city organ, an
nounced that the taxes would be re.
duced to 81 in consequence of the in
crease in values of suburban pro-
perty.
This raising of assessment to effect
a reduction of rate of taxation is
simply fraud upon the taxpayers OF
our city.
1t will turn out that with all the in.
crease of assessment the tax rate will
not be reduced.
Our large debt and rapid increase
of debt, expensive, eXtravagant, care
less, sponsible city government
has aroused the people to a sense o.
insecurity of their best interests.

TRANSPORTATION.

Railroads and water. transportation Gre
ate competition that cannot be con-
trolled in the interest of monopolists. The
Northern Pacific Railroad Company is
now operating its Gray's harbor line
within ten miles Of Aberdeen, and rap
idly ompleting the road to this point
with large force of men. Practically,
there is now actual rail communication
with all the world by this road via Tacoma
or Portland. Regular lines of steamers
run to Portland, Oregon, and 20 San
Francisco, California, and smaller boats
ply daily between Aberdeen and all points
on the harbor.
One hundred and thirty-six vessels
sailed from Grays harbor during 1890,
seventy-three sailing vessels and sixty
three steam vessels; Of these, fifty sailing
vessels and all OF the steamers sailed
from Aberdeen. During the months of
Jan. and February of 1890, only ten YES
sells left the harbor. During the same
months of this year, ilS9l), forty-four
vessels passed out over Grays harbor bar,
thirty-nine Of which sailed from Aberdeen.
This shows how rapidly Grays harbor
and especially Aberdeen is becoming a
place of commercial importance. With
the completion of the Northern Pacific
railroad to Aberdeen. draining eastern
and central Washington Of its coal and
wheat, it is impossible to prophesy Of
what importance Aberdeen will be-
come as shipping port, and when the
lumber men Of this northwest are able to
ship viz; the Nicaragua canal to the east
ern world. forest Of masts will cover this
harbor as the growth Of fir and spruce
cover its shores.

GROWTH or THE. CITY


During the year of 1890 Aberdeen
had a wonderful growth. From a small
village it has become an incorporated
city, and designated the port OF entry for
Grays harbor. Its population has in
creased from l4OO to $500, and one hum
dred and fifty buildings, including bust
ness houses and dwellings, have been
erected within its limits. Its postoffice
receipts from $450.96. for the quarter
ending January list, 1890, has increased
to $9OS,0O for the quarter ending jan
uary l, 1891.
For street improvements there was ex-
pended by the city during the last six
months of the year $4,000. The pros
poets for this season are still more flatter-
ing. The city has vote s65, 900 in bonds
to be used on her water system. A $25.-
600 public school building and a larse
hospital are also to he erected. One large
sawmill, two single mills, box factory
and planning mill will be completed and
in operation as rapidly AS the work can
be accomplished.

THE CENTRAL 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
Chehalis and Wishkah rivers, sixteen
miles 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 or 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 a location favorable for
other industries, and realization of this
has pushed the town into commercial
prominence and accounts for its recent
rapid growth.
