followed by delicious lee cream and cake
and coffee.

60 in charge Of Rev. F. X. Van Tassell.
The salmon are beginning to run. and
some exceptionally fine, juicy steaks
have come from the market. The can
merry at Cosmopolis will open soon. There
has been some talk OF using the Tew
warehouse here rs canncry the coming
season, but nothing definite has been
developed.
The game OF ball at Montesano last

defeated by one run-Montesano, IA E;
Acknowledgements, Is. Ben Wiley
and Charlie Koehler pitched and Bailey
Smith caught for the latter team, and
r. Trask pitched and J. +. Lyons caught
for Montesano.
The Vests gave two entertainments in
the Acme opera house this week-Mon-
day and Tuesday evenings-which were
fair slight-of-hand exhibitions, and would
have been more interesting had not the
acts been attributed to the work of spirits,
or supernatural power. The audiences
were small, especially so the second
evening.
Some Of those who wish to serve their
party and the "dear people" have made
announcements to that effect in several
Of the county papers. No Office will seek
the man in Chehalis county this year, as
the situation is about twenty to one the
other way. There are enough g. 0. p.
aspirants in Aberdeen alone to fill all
the county offices.
Talking about blockades, Mr.. j. d..
Moulton, the shoemaker, has in his pos
session copy of the Coddington County
Courier, published at Watertown, Dak.,
February 8, 1881, which consists of two
pages printed on wrapping paper, which
the publisher was compelled to use, owing
to the SHOWS which kept the town block
AIDED from the outside world foi four
months.
The HERALD was misinformed last
week in regard to the case of the United
States VS.. James Stewart. No trial OF
: the case has yet been had, and as it is I'M
certain when it will be heard, Mr.. Stewart
made application, which was granted, to
have the logs sold, and thereby saving
to the government the unnecessary ex-
pense OF guard and natural depreciation
in value Of spruce logs.
J. 3. Haynes has just finished cutting
thirty acres Of timothy on the Fairfield
place, above Grand Forks. The hay was
of extra fine quality, being between five
and six feet tall, and so thick that it
could hardly be cured on the ground.
The average yield was three and one
half tons to the acre. The future in
dustry OF western Washington, after the
timber is cut will be largely stock raising.
The Republican county committee met
at Montesano last Saturday and called
the primaries for September Sth, to elect
delegates for the county convention to be
held the 18th. This convention will elect
delegates to the county convention, and
also nominate county ticket. They
seemed hopeful Of success if good men are
put up, but are little "skeered' of the
effect of the proposed Prohibition ticket.
The sailing of salmon will be carried
on more extensively in Aberdeen this
year than ever before. A. Damitio is
making ten 12-barrel tanks for that pur-
pose for Columbia river party who are
coming here to salt fish. In order to
make them for the price charged ($12
each) without loss, Mr.. Damitio has con-
structed a little machine to cut out the
grooves in the slaves, which greatly
facilitates the work and lessons the ex-
pense OF producing these tanks.
WINDER's new cash store is the place
to buy groceries cheap. A full line OF all
kinds always on hand.
Report comes from the settlers on
North river, this county, that can insect
apparently identical with the apple tree
green aphis is destroying the oat crop on
| this river r. fasfanS itself to the head
OF the grain at the base of the kernel and
saps the juice that would otherwise form
the kernel. Many pieces are now en-
tirely ruined for grain, but will be cut for
fodder. The pest is also working on rye
and wheat. 1t does not seem to effect
these grains so badly as oats" Nothing
like it has ever been seen in that section
before.
