GPAYS HARBoR.

About fifty miles north of the Column
bia river is the entrance to Gravs harpor'
from the Pacific ocean, long known 10
navigatorss as the most accessible ana
sa fes harbor on the coast. The bar car
ri es ade tn of from eighteen to twenty
three feet OF water at low. tide, ~"'on
increases from ten to fifteen feet at high
tide. The entrance, or channel, isabout
mile wide. and the extreme width OF the
harbor is twelve miles, gradually tapering
to a point at its eastern end, where it is
met by the Chehalis and Wishkah rivers.
Tn 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-
tensiye mud 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-
bor the channel is over two thousand
feet wide, carrying depth OF 40 feet.
The expense 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
proyements are made, the flow of water
is sufficiently strong to keep it from shoal-
inc. The harbor is land-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-crossed
the Grays harbor bar and not one acci-
dent has occurred; in fact, during the
eight or ten years the harbor has been
used as deep water port not 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
fiue hundred miles Of the distance now
travelled by coming into Grays harbor
and completing his journey by sixty miles
of rail. Distance is timr, time is money.
These facts are thoroughly understc,>. =,
the railroad companies, who are now hur-
rying to completion their lines to this
point. Their especial concern will be
the transportation of coal and wheat
from Central and Eastern Washington,
with which the hatbor has now direct
railroad communication. Nature has, in
deed, made here an unequaled gateway
to the ocean, to the commerce of the
world. 1t only remains for men to i'm
prove the opportunity.

ST.. /0SEPHS HOSPITAL.

One OF the best and most important
institutions in Aberdeen is the hos:'ita
established here this last summer by tht
Dominican sisters, Of New York, an In
stitution that is calculated to do gres'
good on account of 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 a large and commo'
dious brick structure that will 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 3lst,
twenty-one patients We're treated in the
hospital, coming from all parts OF the
harbor. IN almost every instance the
patients were suffering from accidental
injuries.

LIGHT AND MATER.

The streets, business houses, public
buildings, and many private dwellings Of
Aberdeen are lighted by electricity, fur
nished by the Aberdeen Electric Com
pany, a home corporation, having paid
up capital stock OF $4,000. The plant is
one OF the best and comprises both the
incandescent and arc system Of lighting
The charges are reasonable and the quail
ity of light the best.
The present water system was devised
when there was no expectation OF there
being so large city here, and conse-
quently is somewhat inadequate; the
people, however, have voted sufficient
water bonds, the sale Of which has pro-
vided money for sucn an improvement OF
the system as will furnish a supply of
pure water sufficient Tor population OF
forty thousand. For fire protection there
is an inexhaustible supply Of salt water,
taken from the Chellalis river.

FINANCIAL.

Aberdeen has two banking institutions
the Aberdeen Bank and the First National
Bank. The first is an incorporated state
bank, organized in '87, and within the last
month has been reorganized with cap
ital stock of $4,000, 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 $4,000, and its officers and
directors are among the leading fiDanciers
of the State.
The local deposits of these banks are
from 100000 to $150,000 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.

HEALTH or THE CITY

On account Of the mild and even tenn
perature of this country and the salt
breezes from the sea that continually
keep the atmosphere fresh and pure, its
remarkable health has become pro-
verbal.
The city health officer reported for the
year 1890, as follows: Number Of deaths,
20. The causes of death were drowning,
4; accident in logging camp, 1; suicide,
l; cerebro-spinal meningitis, 1; scarlet
fever, L; cholera infantum, / (; peritonitis
l; local causes, 10.
Estimating our population at $500, the
death rate shows conclusively the health
fulness of the country.

HARBOR CHARGES AND LNSLLR
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 a 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 Francisco being
three-quarters per cent. lower lover than
the lowest schedule rates from Puget
Sound, the lumber rates being also three
quarters per cent. in favor Of Grays
harbor.

about one hundred members, among
whom are the active and substantial bust
ness men of the city. The board was

THE MOTOR LINE.

Aberdeen will soon be connected with
Hoqaiam on the west by an electric motor
line. The Pacific Wheless Railroad Com
pany have obtained franchises from both
cities, and filed bonds in the sum of five
thousand dollars that tn. work on this
road will be begun at once and hurried
forward as fast as men and money can
push it until it is in operation. What
the road ill do for Aberdeen is already
felt, to some extent, in the increased in

SXIP-YfRD.

There is no industry in Aberdeen better
located than her ship-yards. With the
finest and longest ship 'timbers in the
world, with well-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 three-masted
schooner, the 81. M. Weatherwax, y
which is one Of the finest vessels OF the
kind on the coast. The building of this
vessel, for labor alone, distributed $4,000.
Preparations are being made now for the
building Of three ships the coming
season.

SALMON CAMNERLES.

The oldest industries of Aberdeen are
its salmon canneries, 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
we'll equipped steam laundry, cigar fac
tory, employing five or six men, soda
works and many others.

Much attention is given in Aberdeen to
the education of the young, and the two
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 new central school building to cost
$4,000. The public school in January,

MANUEAC7yRINC.

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 combined daily capacity of
300, 900 feet. One of the mills is exclu-
sively devoted 10 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 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 5000, 900; the home consumption
being about 9,0OO,0 900. On the wharf this
lumber represented value of over $4N0,-
600, which was principally paid out here
in wages. Other mills are being erected,
and the product will probably be doubled
during the year 1891.
WOOD-W'ORA- ESTABLISHMENTS.
After numbering, tine next important
industry is that OF the sash. door, blind
and general woodworking and turning
establishments. Three of these are now
in profitable operation, and there ~ room
for more. The raw material is chea y and
the market convenient.
A factory for furniture exclusively
would be most profitable investment
here, as has been amply proven by the
work in that line being done at the sash
factories. Two shingle mills and box
factory will be ready for business this
spring, and almost any number of indus

A Spanish Afternoon.

A recent entertainment in a ncighboring
city was tea" which took the form Of o
Spanish afternoon" These cabalistic
words, engraved on the invitations. aroused
much curiosity, and almost every guest
hidden found it possible to accept. On en-
tering the handsome rooms were discov-
cred to be beautifully decorated with yell
low and red flowers, interpreted with
Spanish flags. which were festooned upon
bulls horns. The staircase was wound
with the flags. and Spanish pictures and
effects abounded. A paper Was read upon
"Ccrvantes, the Hero, the Poet and the
Man." and during the reception which fol
lowed music from hidden zithers and
guitars supplemented the conversation.
The refreshments comprised rs many Span
ish dainties as possible. and were served in
Spanish style.
