TIE wATER SYSTEM.

An investigation OF the water system
shows sad lack of push on the part Of
the city, and queer state of affa rs
Scarcely half the people of the city use the
city water. Not sonl uses il in the East
side. The Benn system continues to SUP
ply large portion OF the residents, and
the Weatherwax system supplies the
people in the western end of the city,
leaving practically but the center of the
city to pay for the maintenance of the
water works. This is all wrong, and I'M
less something is done to increase the
revenue from the water rents the water
works will prove white elephant of
mammoth proportions.
Some time ago the old council ordered
the Benin water system to be cut off at
Market street, but it never was done, and
about fifteen families get their water for
nothing. The agreement made with
the owners Of the Weatherwax system,
by which the people using that water
were to get it from the city has never
been fulfilled. On the east side of the
river West and Wilson have their own
systems from which the people carry
thei" water. Many people along Front
street from the bridge to Wilson's mill
want the city water, and if an effort was
made, no doubt, twenty families would
patronize the city. Wilson Brothers want
the main extended from Bonn to Tyler
street and plug put in for fire protection.
Several families near that mill are anx-
ious for the water.
Objection is made to taking city water
because the rates are established on
basis OF the number of rooms in house
instead Of number of persons, which in
many cases makes the rates beyond the
means Of small families living in large
houses. Attention is also called to the
necessity of shut-offs being placed at vari-
Gus points SO that an accident to the
mains in one part of the city will not
cripple the entire system in case Of fire.
The affairs OF the water system need re-
wishing and readjusting and an effort VI ade
to make the waterworks self-sustaining.

GRAYs HARBoR CENTENNIAL.

If it is appropriate that Astoria should
celebrate on May 10 and II the centen-
NAL Of the discovery OF the Columbia
river by Captain Gray, it is still more fit
ting that the people OF Grays harbor,
which received the name of the great nav
gator, should celebrate on May the dis
covery OF one of the finest harbors on the
coast. The boards OF trade of the Harbor
cities should take immediate and con-
certed action looking to the formulation of
such plans as are necessary to proper
commemoration of the event.
The general government has arranged
to participate in the Astoria demonstra-
ton at Astoria, and as the Harhor ami
versary is three days in advance of that
event, there is little doubt but that an cf-
fort properly directed would secure these
interesting auxilliaries for May 7. Let
us celebrate.

THE EFFECT OF LOWER RATES

While in Seattle last week ]. J. Hill.
president Of the Great Northern Railroad
company which will be completed to the
Sound this year, promised that his COM
pany would make inmber tariff of forty
cents per hundred pounds, and open a
market eastward for Washington's great
est product. In rider to learn how such
a rate would effect the business of our
local mills letter on the subject was
addressed to Superintendent White, of
the Cosmopolis mill, who replied as fol-
lows:
EDITOR HERALD In response to yours
OF the I'd, wherein you make tie inquiry
if in my opinion lumber can be shipped
at profit, providing rate is made of
forty cents per 100 pounds to the East
f'om terinal points here, as per the state
ments of President J. j. Hill, of the
Great Northern railroad, that his road
would do this as soon as completed, 1
have to say that at the present time the
prevailing rate is tifty-five cents a hun
dred or about $500 per thousand on or
binary kiln dried lumber. At the rate
proposed by Mr.. Hill this would be re-
duced $3.50, and believe at these figures
our rail shipment would double in twelve
months and again double in the succeed
ing twelve months, or in other words, in
two years our shipment would increase
300 per cent.
The distance is SO great that on ordi-
nary common lumber no shipment can
ever be made to compete with the East,
but on flooring, car siding, large ioist,
long timbers, Car stills and many other
specialties at forty-cent rate, very
large trade should be worked up. On
this rate we should be able to do much

The fire department is clamoring loudly
for much needed additions to their appar-
atus. The need of hose tower is most
pressing, as at present there is no APP
plicances for drying the hose and the
yearly depreciation in the value Of the
hose from rot runs up into the hundreds
of dollars. aside from the danger of burst
ing hose at critical moment, when the
slightest delay means the loss OF thou
sands of dollars. In the hose tower
should be placed large bell for giving
the alarm, very essential feature in the
prompt arousing of the fremen. These
matters have been brought to tire atten-
ton Of the city council and it is hoped
early and favorable action will be taken
in the premises.

WILL OPEN NATURES sToREHoUsE

Three years ago the timber grew with.
in mile OF the water fronts of Seattle
and Tacoma. Since then the suburbs OF
those cities have been cleared OF this
growth and for miles in all directions the
land is thickly covered with the homes
Of the people, The direct cause of this
rapid development was the building Of
street railways into the former wilder
ness.
So, on vastly larger scple will the
citizens Of Aberdeen transform the dark
and lonesome Businesses of the north
woods into magnificent domain of civil
ization.
For miles the trackless forest extends
in the somber gloom of its giant trees.
Beyond, lie the fertile valleys OF the
Quiniault. the Queets and the Quillyute,
and the hoary heights Of the Ofympics
with their untold wealth of precious min
erals, all awaiting the coming of man to
make the country instinct with life.
The Aberdeen & Victoria railway will
pierce the heart of this magnificent do.
main and let in the thousands who are
looking with longing eyes toward this
far-of Mecca.
TIE progress OF the locomotive will be
followed by the march Of civilization;
the woods will resound with the ring of
the settlers ak, and the whistle will be
echoed by the CHEEKY voice of the home
seeker. Prosperous communities will
spring up along the railroad and the
whurring wheels Of industry will awake
the now slumbering land.
The product Of the forests, the ranges,
the farms, the river and the mines will
all pass through the commercial gates of
Aberdeen on it's way to the marts of the
world. From small town large city will
be builded, our wharves will be filed with
shipping, wholesale depots will be stab
lished and the riversides crowded with
mills and factories.
The important bearing of the new
railroad on the future OF this city is now
fully realized and the people are doing as
they notwithstanding every effort toward
its early completion. Subscriptions to
the stock are rapidly coming in, and if
the energy which the company has dis
played in putting its surveyors in the
field is kept up, dirt will soon be flying
all along the line.

Much ado has been made by the settlers
along North beach over the praise be-
slowed upon Mrs. Edward White FOR her
services at the Ferndale wreck, and a
strong effort made to belittle her bravery.
1t is beyond question that all the settlers
along the beach rendered such aid as was
in their power, and are entitled to grea'
praise for their kindness to the survivors
and respect for the dead, but envy should
not counterbalance their generosity. The
survivors of the wreck distinctly told the
editor of the HERALD they owed their
lives solely to the bravery of Mrs. White,
Patterson and Carlson particularly en-
phasizing the statement that they would
certainly have drowned had not Mrs.
White rushed into the water and dragged
them ashore; and that she performed
this feat unaided: Had there been a
dozen willing hands to aid her after the
men were out Of danger her act would
not have been the less heroic. 1t was
a brave deed for anyone to do, and all the
more SO because woman did it, and as
such is recognized by the generous
minded people Of the land in spite of the
cavilling Ct those who were not so fortu-
nate in opportunity to exhibit their he
roism.

COMMUNICATED.


EDITOR HERALD-I've been citizen
of Aberdeen these three years past. I've
seen the city when it was in its spendor
when every business man was making
dollars where he is now making cents ;
I've seen the day when the real estate
man was the monarch of all he sur
yeyed :" I've seen Aberdeen when her
name was synonymous with progress.
All these things I've seen from afar, as
it were, because was not in the "swim"
"a croaker was not allowed, when he
bore the mark of his maker, to make
complaint against those who wore, for
the time being, the ermine.
Times have changed. To-day we may
see on all sides the remnants of the old
days of recklessness. Days when Aber-
deem was a mill town, and allowed the
freedom usually found in logging camps.
Days when dance houses and saloons
wer, in full blast, and those who patron
lied them enjoyed the freedom Of the
wildwood.
But"things has changed" Aberdeen
is now supposed to be city-has donned
the airs Of city. People have come here
with their families expecting to find
things as they found them in the cities
they left in the far East as regards morals
Most Of them are sadly disappointed. It's
wrong they should he. We send our adj
vertisements broadcast about our schools
and our churches, our mills and our re-
sources; but, bless you, We never adver
tise the dance halls and brothels which
ornament our town. Oh, no. We put
our best foot foremost. We fish for the
righteous and then expect them to rustic
to keep out of the net Of the iniquito:s.
Aberdeen has eight saloons and dance

1000 would require fifty men each to get
in and dig" in order that they may live

many of those who class themselves

of shingles. On the present rates even,
very large and growing business is be-
ing done, and with rates named as stated
by Mr.. Hill, our shipments in that line
would be enormous. Sincerely yours,
G. +. WHITE,
Sup't Grays Harbor Commercial Co.
Wherever the Great Northern has in
vaded the Northern Pacifc's territory a
heavy reduction of fret hit rates has fol-
lowed, and if Hill's road makes forty
cent rate the Northern will be compelled to
do the same, thus placing Grays harbor
on about the same footing as the Sound,
a. the cheaper facilities enjoyed here
over the Sound mills for getting logs to
the saws will practically offset the longer
haul by rail.
An eastern outlet for our lumber pro-
ducts is more essential at this time to
the welfare Of this section than anything
else. 1t would seem, then necessary for
our lumbermen to unite in determined
demand On the Northern Pacific for a re-
duction of the rate, which can only be
secured by persistent and perscvering eff
fort.
