depth of seventy feet, since the dock is to
be but thirty feet in depth. In the first
place good foundation must be had, SO
that pilling will not have to be resorted
to. The government plan is to find bot
tom upon which to rest the substructure
of masonry, which will consist of blocks
made upon the ground. composed of Port
land cement mixed with the excellent
sand found right at hand. The blocks will
be about four by three by two feet, and
will be laid to depth of thirty feet, thus
forming solid foundation upon which to
rest the largest vessel ahoat. When the
drilling is completed it will be necessary
to make a survey of the immediate area to
be covered by the dock proper, so that a
profile may be made and forwarded to the
bureau of docks and yards at Washington.
This done, the plans can be formed and
bids can be advertised for and work soon
thereafter be begun. Until these prelimi-
nary steps have been all taken. no actual
work can be undertaken.

Gray's Harbor as q Summer Resort.
ABERDEEN, July 27.-[Special. THE
beach at Peterson's point is one of the
finest in the world for bathing, being of
smooth, white sand, no holes or rough
places, and the incline so gradual that one
may wade out two or three hundred feet
without getting beyond ones depth.
There are over 100 people from Aberdeen
alone encamped there now, some of them
having built quite pretentious cottages
and furnished them with all the comforts
Nf l,, Sc e
steamers run there daily from Aberdeen,
and the place is easily reached. CLAIMS,
crabs and fish are plentiful, and there are
myriads of snipe, which affords rare sport
for huntsmen. Several Tacoma people ar
rived today, and more are expected tomor-
row.
The new steamer Clan Mcdonald has
been doing good business running with
out her papers under a permission from
the inspectors, but Friday the deputy col
lector of customs sent verbal notice
through second party for her to tie up
until her papers were issued. Thinking
the collector would give an official order
to that effect, Captain Mcdonald laid the
boat off Saturday, but today, no order
coming to tie up, the "Clan" took large
crowd to Peterson's. She is very staunch
and seaworthy boat, and very popular
with excursionists. The public would
greatly regret even temporary tie up
of this steamer, and hope the inspectors
will come down and issue her papers.
Saturday the South Bend ball club came
over to play with the Aberdeens. and
the former won by a score of Is to II.
Sunday the second game was played, re-
sulting in the Aberdeens making twenty
runs and the South Bends only three. The
first game would have been won by the
Aberdeen club had the right pitcher been
at work
