concerned, there was little or nothing in

that the Lehigh Valley Company would

rentals, etc. Northern Pacific was sold
by holders who had bought In anticipation

The Temperance Lecture,

Monday evening at the Baptist taber-
nacle Mrs. j. c. Stone, state lecturer for
the l. O. q. T., delivered a characteristic
lecture on Temperance. The lecture was
preceded by Il prayer by Rev. George
Lindsay, and a quartet, "Guide Me, Oh
Thou Great Jehovah" finely rendered
by Mrs. Elston, Miss Edith Joslyn, Rev.
+. X. and Harry Van Tassel. The room
was packed, and DR.. Iackey in introduce
ing the lecturer stated that it was the
largest audience but one he had ever seen
gathered in Aberdeen to listen to tenn
perancc lecture. Mrs. Stone is fine
looking woman OF middle age, and the
lecture bristled with wit and sarcasm,
being especially hard on the men, or
"people" as she called them. From her
experience in presenting Temperance pc
titions signed by women to legislatures
she concluded that women were neither
people, citizens or folks, they might be
the missing link; they could be wives,
mothers, sisters, cousins or aunts of the
people, but "peoplc'-ncvcr. The lect-
urer was strongly opposed to license in
any form, and cited instances where the
saloonkeepers had advocated high license
in order that a few saloons might be made
more Turing and attractive; instances
where hellish saloonkeepers, in order to
gain new customers, had distributed
among school boys tickets good for GER
tam number of drinks, and offering prizes
to those who first used up the card. Mrs.
Stone possesses a good delivery and a
clear voice, and held the close attention
OF the audience during the evening.

Last Sunday afternoon James Gillies
dropped dead in his home at Hoquiam,
stricken by appoexy He had been
apparently in usua! health, and but IL
few minutes before had been out with the
children. Mr. Gillies was prominent
logger and pioneer of Chehalis county,
and was 43 years months and p days
old. He was member of Hoquiam
lodge No. As, A. o. U. w., also OF the
Degree OF Honor. The funeral services
were conducted under the auspices of that
body by Rev. Cbas. S. Revelle. The SER
vices were held in the Presbyterian
church at ten o'clock Tuesday morning.
The body was taken on the steamer Clan
Mcdonald to the cemetry at Montesano.
AT Aberdeen the cortege was joined by
Aberdeen Lodge No. 81, A. o. U. w. A
large crowd of his many friends through
out the county followed him to his last
resting place. The bereayed widow and
children have the sympathy OF the entire
community, and especially so because
only the Thursday before Il child had been
born to them, and she in her great
weakness must still bear the sorrow.

TaxnaYerS, Meeting.


The Consolidated Taxpayers Associa-
ton met at Montesano last Thursday.
George II. Emerson, as chairman of
the executive committee, read a report of
a partial investigation of the county
offices by the committee. From the in
vestigation of the committee the charges
OF extravaganza could not be laid to the
present county officials, neither could the
efficiency Of the assessor be questioned !;
if he had made an unreasonable assess
ment it was owing to lack of judgment.
The cost OF running the county was rather
the result OF an cXtrnvagant system OF
laws than the fault Of the present county
officials.
A committee was appointed to wait
upon Assessor Blnn and ask him to re-
ducc the assessment to $4,500O00. 10
this Mr. Bum replied that he would COM
ply with the wishes Of the convention SO
far as possible.
Petitions from Wynooche and Hoquiam
precincts, and communication from the
officers OF the county were referred to the
executive committee. The communica-
ton from the county officers was rather a
demand for an investigation, with sug.
gestions as to how and by whom it should
and who should not participate in it,
Judge Pearson explained the position Of
the prosecuting attorneys, and stated that
if the supreme court decided against them
they were prepared to hold the county
harmless for any loss.
Auditor Boyington scored those who
had So loudly clamored for an investiga-
ton, and then refused the opportunity
offered for an investigation.
The convention adjourned to meet on
call OF the president.

THE MILL TO RUN.

The Book vest-RobinsOn Suits Arc All
Settled.
Rumors OF a settlement between w. =.
Book and Messrs. West and Robinson
have been current on the streets for the
last few days, and in order to verify the
rumor a call was made on Mr.. Book.
From him it was learned that his entire
claim against a. j. West has been settled
to the satisfaction Of all parties con-
cerned. His claim was for something
over $4,000, for which he accepted notes
at fifty cents on the dollar, payable in ten
annual installments and bearing five per
cent interest, and every suit has been
withdrawn; and all parties have buried
the Ratchet.
While the community is glad that set
Element has been made, the thing which
interests the people OF Aberdeen most is
the fact that the West mill has been freed
from litigation ana that it will run. In
the deal Alex Poison, the we'll known
logger, mas secured half interest in the
mill. Mr.. Poison could not say for week
or ten days under just what arrangements
it would run. He wanted to see if Mr..
West got strong enough to take charge Of
it, if not he would endeavor to run it HIM
self, or, failing in that, to lease it to some
one who would. The citizens Of Aber-
deem may rest assured that with the mill
freed from obligation, and Mr.. Poison s
energy added to it, and Mr.. Books offer
to furnish money to stock it with logs,
that the mill will run, and that right
soon. Here's success to the new comb.
nation,
