A Saved Man Cries for Hi, Ha

"A saved man Cries Tor HIS Hat.
'Yes," said an old lake captain, "a
drowning man will catch at straw.
have seen many illustrations thereof.
Most people think the old proverb is
merely figure of speech, but it is liv-
ing truth"
"Is it true, captain" was asked, "that
the first thing rescued man thinks of is
his hat?"
''Yes, SIR" replied the captain, his
face lighting up, 'sthat is fact, too. I
have seen it emphasized many times in
the course of my experience Over and
over again j hapa boon called to tha AZ
sistance of a drowning man. I would
plungein and rescue him just, let us say,
at the last instant. Dragged on the
dock, gasping for breath, his voice
choked with water, the man, if he fol-
lows his instincts, will, as soon as he re-
gains the least degree of strength, sud-
denly rise from his prostrate posture
and stretch his arms toward his head,
then, missing his hat USUALLY lost in the
struggle), he will cry out desperately,
pointing to his hat floating down the
river, oh, save my haiti save my hatp"
''And he will never think of himself,
captainY"
.But seldom, sir" was the reply. "a
rescued man is the most obstinate and
headlong being imaginable. He wants to
do all sorts Of foolish things. He gener-
ally wants to rush up and be away be-
fore he has had time to recover his
strength. He means well enough, no
doubt, but he nearly always forgets to
present his obligations in tangible form"

Charity in the Rockefeller Family.

Cnarlty IN the fSOcketoller F2m1ly.
John d. Rockefeller's method of dis
posing Of charity is described by The
Cleveland Plaindealer. It says that the
great bulk of his mail is examined by
his private secretary, and only the few
appeals which impress the latter gentle
man favorably are passed along to Mr..
Rockefeller, who takes a stack of them
to the breakfast table every morning
and distributes them among his children.
These members of his family are charged
with the duty of opening the letters and
consulting their contents. Then each
child decides what shall be done with
the application, and the decision is writ
ten on the envelope and the name signed
for reference if need be.
After breakfast, Mr.. Rockefeller
gathers up the mail and personally in
spects each application. He then weighs
the case and then acts as his conscience
dictates. This .dictation is frequently
contrary to the decision rendered by his
child, but that doesn't end the matter;
not at all. The father gathers his
children about him and reviews the
case. announcing his decisions, and
when they conflict with those given by
the children he explains the reason for
the departure from therecommendation.

A Double Dog.

Tom WHY, of Johnsonville, has
most remarkable freak of nature; it is q
double female dog pup, about six months
old. 1t has four well developed legs in
the proper place. Aside from these there
is another well developed leg protruding
from near the root Of the tail and has
grown about half the distance to the
ground, at which point two well devel-
oped feet began to form and have grown
in perfect shape, and both feet now drag
on the ground as she walks. She is in
perfect health and is well developed

A Harbor to be Proud of.

Captain De Courcey was astonished a.
the depth of the water when taking the
soundings up the Wishkah last week.
From its mouth up about two miles to
the city limits the average depth was
found to be nearly five fathoms at low
tide, and in no case less than four. At
the mouth, opposite Jones, Burrows &
Co. s wharf ten fathoms was found.
Speaking of the barber at this city the
Tacoma Globe of Sept. Is, says; Con
sidering that the width of this truly pbe-
nomenal stream is fully 200 feet, there is
certainly ground for belief in the future
of Aberdeen, as the largest OF ocean
steamers can lie at anchorage along the
front Of this harbor for six miles on both
sides Of both streams, and as its width
is 5000 feet, the fleets of nations
could harbor safely.

THE RAILROAD SITUATION.

Aberdeen can have the Northern Pacific
build on the norin side into the city upon
the following terms, if the people are
willing to come to these terms: Free
right of way through the streets and over
private property within the city limits,
depot grounds and denot 10 cost not less
than $2,50O--all o. which is To be paid for
by the people Of Aberdeen. The only
question to be considered is, will station
on this side be worth that to the people
of Aberdeen? The HERALD thinks it
will, and thinks as much should be done
for the NJ p. as for any other road, and
no more. And further, it is sure that
whoever represents the Northern Pacific
in this matter should in reality represent
the Northern Pacific, and not have it de-
velop later that they were representing
private individuals for those Individuals
good.

City building brings together all kinds
of people. While one purpose should
predominant all others-the good of the
city, Tor therein lies the good Of each in
dividual-still individual selfishness is

the case, no one is without influence in
the community. Undue weight seems,
however, to be given in this, as in all
other communities, to depth of voice, in
stead of depth of real interest in the city's
future. Lung power is too often mistaken
for logic; and the voice of the siren, if it
only be persistent enough, is hardened

all time, is compelled to see public means
converted to private ends for the aggrand-
izement of the man who can fold his tent
here today and pitch it somewhere else
tomorrow. What is for the interest of
the Spectator, who is looking for quick
returns, is too often antagonistic to the
city's real good.
1t is time we were discriminating be-
tween those who talk and speculate and
those who are an integral part Of us.
Let us work always for the ultimate
good of the city; but let us not confound
what is for the good Of the city with what
is for the good of one or of any number
less than the whole.

The necessity for harbor survey is
most urgent. 1t is impossible for con-
gresham or senator to do anything to
wards securing an appropriation without
some reliable data to base his demands
on. Civil Engineer Lewis M. Haupt has
been suggested as man whose survey
would be entitled to consideration at the
hands OF congress. Mr.. Haupt is of the
opinion that survey could be made for
less than one thousand dollars, if tug is
furnished him. If the towns Of Grays
harbor permit one thousand dollars to
stand between them and an urgent neces-
sity, they deserve to wait until The last
bobbin of red tape is unwound.

In local matters nearly every one, with
out regard to politics, recommends the
patronizing of home industries and home
institutions. And all communities which
are progressive are willing to give subsi-
dies to encourage manufactures to come
to them-because they know they will be
reimbursed for their outlay. So that,
even if it is admitted that protection
causes higher prices at first, will not the
same principle of encouragement hold
good in national, as well as in local mat
tiers p Piastte
The answer is, No, and the reason for it
is SO simple as to be self-evident. If the
Montesano sash and door factory can
produce more sash and doors than are re-
quired for home consumption, and can
find good market for them outside of
Montesano, the Viaette would scarcely
contend that their sale elsewhere, and
the return OF the money to Montesano,
would not be OF benefit to Montesano.
Patronizing home industries is Of local
benefit only so long as local demand is
equal to local production. When the
production is greater than the demand
the home industry or institution lmme-
diately looks for the market where it can
sell for the most and buy for the least,
which is freedom of trade applied ma.
tionally.
