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 thai alculated to do great
good on account u 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 viii 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-oue patients were treated in the
hospital, coming from all parts of the
harbor- IN almost every instance the
patients were suffering from accidental
injuries.

TIE cENER4L cry

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, living 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 fftv
feet or more The Wishkah river
divides the city little east of the center.
This river is navisabIe 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 location favorable for
other industries, and a realization of this
has pushed the town into commercial
prominence and accounts for its recent
rapid growth.

There is no industry in Aberdeen better
located than her ship-yards. With the
finest and longest ship timbers in the
world, with vell-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 threemasted
schooner, the 81. NJ Weatherw2x, .
which is one of the finest vessels of the
kind on the coast The building of this
vessel, for labor alone, distributed SIC. 900.
Sincs then the steamers ''City of Aber-
deem" and sClan Mcdonald have been
built and launched.

HARBOR CHARGES AND LNSUR
ANcE on SHIPPING.


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 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 Fra-eisco 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.

About fifty miles north of the Column
bia river is the entrance to Gravs 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, -nsoiI
increases from ten to fifteen feet at high
tide The entrance, or channel, is about
mile wide, and the extreme width OF the
harbor is twelve miles, gradually tapering
to 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-
tensive ndd 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 10 feet.
Theexpense of continuing this width and
depth to 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 Iand-locked, and the
shelter it affords from storms is complete
During the past year over one hundred
sailing vessels and from four to six steam
ers per month have crossed and re-croesed
the Grays harbor bar and not one acci-
dent has occurred; in fact, during the
eight or ten wears the harbor has been
used as a deep water port not a single
vessel has met disaster going or coming
This harbor is three hundred and fifty
miles nearer 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 go to reach that
city, is over one hundred miles north
OF it; thus passenger from San Francisco,
bound for Tacoma, saves more than
fue hundred miles of the distance now
travelled by coming into Grays harbor
and completing his journey by sixty miles
Of rail. Distance is time, time is money
These facts are tnorougniy understcs,a ~

rying to completion their lines to this
point Their especial concern will be

Chief among the industries OF Aberdeen
is that of numbering, including logging,
saving and shipping. Not less than five
hundred men are employed in the woods
in this vicinity. Four mills are in opera
ton with a combined daily capacity OF
800. 900 feet. One of the mills is exclu-
sively devoted to the local trade, while
the largest share of the product OF the
other three is shipped to California
and foreign ports For several rea-
sons Aberdeen can and does supply
lumber cheaper than either the Columbia
or Puget Sound mills. As shown else
where, our port charges, towage and other
items OF a ships necessary expenses are
much less. Legs are more easily OBJ
tanned, and therefore much cheaper
than at the other ports mentioned
The shipment abroad for the year 1890
was SO, OO0, 900; the home consumption
being about s,oOO, 900. On the wharf this
lumber represented value of over $780,
300, which was principally paid out here
in wages. Other mills are being erected,
and the product win probably be doubled

CATHOLIC SCHOOL.

Beside the public school, Aberdeen en-
Joys the advantage of first-class Cath

sisters of New York. Together with it's
common branches they also instruct their
pupils in instrumental music and draw
ing. They now have an enrolment of
ouer sixty purils.

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 a new central school building to cost
$4,000 The public school in January,
1891, had an average attendance of two
hundred pupils.

THE SUGAR BOUNTY.

Under the terms of the recipro-
city treaty with the Hawaiian gov
eminent, which treaty has now
four years to run, all products of
the Hawaiian islands are admitted
duty free into the United States
and all products of the United States
are admitted duty free into the
Hawaiian kingdom.
The productive duty on sugar
which prevailed at that time, and
which will continue in force until
April l, 1891, gave the Hawaiian
sugar planters an immense advan-
tage over other importers, amount
ing almost to a monopoly. Under
the workings of reciprocity the
Hawaiian producers have there
fore become wealthy.
The Mckinley bill reduces the
tariff on all sugars about No. 16
Dutch standard in color to five
tenths of one cent per pound, pro-
vided that such sugar shall pay
one tenth of one cent per pound in
addition when exported from or
the product of any country, when
| and so long as such country pays,
or shall hereafter pay, directly OF
indirectly, a bounty on the expor-
tation of any sugar that may be
included in this grade, which is
greater than is paid on raw sugars
OF lower saccharine strength.
The act provides also that on and
after July L, 1891, and until July L
1905, bounty of two cents pei
pound shall be paid to the producer
of sugar testing not less than nine
ty degrees by the polariscope, from
beets, sorghum or sugar cane grown
within the United States or from
maple sap produced within the
United States, and upon such sugar
testing less than 80 degrees and
not less than 80 degrees, bounty
of Ii cents per pound.
1t is plainly to be seen that this
bounty deprives the Hawaiian
sugar growers of all the benefits
heretofore enjoyed by the operation
of the reciprocity treaty, and as {
matter of fact indirectly nullifiei
and abrogates the treaty so far a
sugar is concerned, while al
American products are admitted al
heretofore, free of duty, into thu
Hawaiian kingdom.
This is one-sided arrangement
and is manifestly unfair. Th,
bounty of 2 cents pound paid t.
American sugar producers will no
necessarily lower the price of suga
and benefit the consumers. Th'
sugar production of the United
States to a great extent IN tn
hands of monopoly, and the suga
bounty, therefore, must be paid b.
the people in taxes without any re
duction in the price-[Post.
