Other Notes


Other Notes
The Rapid Transit is expected in to-
day with 800 tons of steel rails, the first
shipment for the Bellingham Bay q
Eastern railroad. Engineer Donovan
states that he expects to begin track
laying about next Wednesday. The
first locomotive for the road, which
was expected to arrive next Monday,
will not be here until a week later.
This, however, will not delay tracklay-
ing, as the company has made arrange
ments with Superintendent NJ. H..
Stangroom, of the Bellinghom Bay IL
British Columbia, for the use of an
engine in the meantime.
A track connecting the Bellingham

THAT CELEBRATED Case
Attorney Kerr Tells Why the
Question of Validity Was
Raised
He Believes That the Allega-
ton Is True, But Will
Withdraw 1t
Heavy Suit Against J. V.
Chown, of Blaine---Local
and Personal

Mr.. j. A. Kerr, of the firm of Kerr d
McCord was seen by a HERALD re-
porter last night and in response TO an
inquiry regarding the Schering suit,
said:
awe neither try our cases on the
street, nor in the city council, nor in
the newspapers. If the questions raised
in the Schering case are as unimport-
ant as Councilman Kingdom suggests,
why not meet them fairly? Members
of the council may shape public senti-
ment by resorting to unbridled denun-
citation, but their sentiment will not
subvert the law. The first three ques-
tions raised in the case are fatal to the
attempted assessments; the questions
regarding incorporation will be found
to be far more serious than generally
understood. 1t is alleged that the
county commissioners acted without
jurisdiction. Involved in the issue are
questions of both law and fact.
ave have concluded at the request
of Mr.. Schering and many of our citi-
zens to Withdraw this question from
the case. 1t has been mooted ques-
ton among the attorneys in this county
from the date Of our municipal exist
ence, and when raised will not be dis
posed of by resolutions. The question
was raised in this case for two reasons:
First, because, if troe, it is fatal to the
assessment. Second, it ought to be
settled, and the longer delayed the
worse for our city, That it would be
raised in this case members of the city
government had been advised, more
than two weeks ago. We were forced
to raise it 10y "a threat to bring suit
against our clients to foreclose alleged
assessment liens, i'm which case we
would have had IA dozen suits on our
hands instead of one. That this suit
would be brought the council well
knew months ago. The insinuations
thrown out by various parties that
Others than those who demonstrated
against the assessment were interested
are false. The suit is brought i'm the
interest Of no other parties than the
property owners who have contracted
with US, and whose agreement any
citizen is at liberty to call and examine.
We are ready to try the remaining
issues in the courts, and will endeavoT
to demonstrate the correctness of our
judgment of the law in due time"

bility of obtaining suitable stone for

struction of the dry dock, to be opened

enough to take in any vessel ever con-
structed, with the exception of Noah's
ark. The great dock at Esquimalt is
only 500 feet long, 60 feet wide at the

Large Profit for Small Capital.

w. M. Griggs, Of Portland, fish buyer
for Chlopeck Bros, arrived in Aberdeen
Sunday evening, and is shipping large
quantities of salmon east.
There is no industry in this section
that offers better returns than fishing.
We need cold storage plant and few
rustlers with little money to engage in
the business. A fishing schooner is
needed to fish on the banks opposite the
mouth Of the harbor, where halibut, rock
cod and other varieties are to be found in
abundance. One schooner could do more
work from this harbor than two Of the
same could from Puget Sound, where the
greater portion of the time is spent in
travelling to and from the fishing grounds.
If few of the citizens of Aberdeen would
get together and start the ball rolling and
demonstrate what we have here they
would not only make money in the ven
ture but help their city.
Terminal rates are in effect, and we
can ship from here as cheap as from Pu-
get Sound. We have the fish here and
all that is necessary is to take our hands
out of our pockets and start the enter
prise. The HERALD would be glad to
hear from any one on the subject.

The readers Of the HERALD will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being constitu-
tional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. there
by destroying the foundation of the dis
ease, and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprie-.
tors have SO much faith in its curative
powers, that they offer One Hundred Dol
lars for any case that it fails to cure.
