The Grays harbor country is especially
interested in the Burlington system Of
railroads. They have good reasons Tor
believing that that road will eventually
make its Pacific terminus on the harbor.
1t is known to already have holdings
here, and route has been surveyed
through the Cowitz Pass. The Burling-
ton has long had its eye on the immense
body OF timber tributary to the harbor,
and when times improve we confidently
expect to see that road extended to this
point When it does, Aberdeen will be
a lively rival for the Sound cities.

THE BURLINGTON'S EXTENSION

The extension Of the Burlington &
Missouri River railroad to connection
with the Northern Pacific at Billings,
Mont, will revolutionize the railroad sit
uation OF the Northwest. A new route to
Chicago and the East is only one-and
perhaps the least important-of the re-
suits it will bring about. Direct commu-
ncaton with Omaha, st. Joseph, Kansas
City. st. Louis and the rich territory
south and southeast OF those cities will be
established. An enormous saving in time
and distance will be effected. As an in
stance, note that between Helena and
Omaha the new line will be nearly 400
miles shorter and thirtytwo hours quicker
than any other route.
1t is authoritatively given out that a
close traffic agreement with the Northern
Pacific will be entered into and that
through train service between Portland
and Chicago is among the possibilities
The interests OF this and adjoining
states ard those Vi an immense PORTION

ton system are mutual. We produce

WAGES AND THE TARIFF.

Protectionists place great stress upon
means reduction in wages, and assert
that the effect OF free trade would be to
reduce wages to the standard OF European
labor. We even find our only onliest
senator quoting statistics OF wages in
Germany to prove it. But there is one
sentence in the quotation which the auth
or OF his speech forgot to omit, and which
the senator himself overlooked, which
completely reiutes the whole protection
doctrine in regard TO wages. It. is this:
''In the building trades, including car
pentry, wages are on an average from 25
to 80 per cent below those OF Great Brit
ain, and the days are considerably long
err
II this quotation goes to prove any.
thing. and we take it just as it comes
from the printed page sent Us by Senator
Squires himself, it proves that free trade
increases wages instead OF lowering them
For, with the exception OF Italy, which
by the way pays the lowest wages in all
Europe, Germany levies the highest tariff
duties Of any nation in the old world,
while England, with absolute free trade,
''pays % to 80 per cent higher wages"
than Germany.
If protectionists would compare the
condition OF labor in England with other
European countries, instead OF trying to
bamboozle the working men by threats
OF paupei labor, they would then have
comparisons that would be entitled to
consideration There is no more sense
in attributng the difference Of wages be.
tween the United States and Europe to
protection, than there is in attributng the
difference in them between the backwoods
OF Maine and Tacoma and Seattle during
the boom, or the difference between Eng
lagd and China, to the same cause.
But the protectionists dare not make
such comparisons, and they know they
dare not, and are wise enough to be con-
tent with trying to pull the wool over the
eyes OF the unthinking. The people have
been doing some hard thinking the last
few years, and as the campaigns OF edu-
cation follow much more will be done,
until all forms OF class legislation shall be
wiped Off our statute books. We chal
lenge any Republican paper in the land
to publish the rates of wages, together
with tariff duties, OF European countries,
for comparison one with another.

Everything is moving along so slowly
and quietly in our town that news items
are few and hard TO find. The only eX-

it is hoped, will be finally settled so that
exact justice may be done to all con-

Unanimously Democratic.

The latest campaign joke has just been
blown out here from Kansas. A CONNER
cial traveller was asked what the influence
was that made men OF different political
opinions-why they couldn't all belong to
one party. He said: That's hard
question, but | think | know the cause,
it is heat. You see, in Dakota and Maine
and Minnesota, where there is severe cold
weather the Republicans are in the ma
jority; then you come southwark to 1ndi-
ana, Illinois and Virginia and there are
more Democrats; then 60 south to Mis-
souri,, Texas, Alabama and Florida, where
the weather is everlastingly hot, and you
find big Democratic majority; 60 on
down to hill and it's unanim Gus. -

COLES AND THE HERALD"

THE UERALD's criticisms on the blath-
erskite who is the Aberdeen correspond
ent for the Economist has brought II. F.
Coles to his defense. In last week issue
Coles signs his name to the correspond
ence, and asserts that the last Z p cores
pondent is not lazy but is hard-working
man, and that his neighbors will SO tes-
tiiy. We have great respect for hard
pondent-it was very accommodating for
him not to write last week as usual-has
the reputation OF having lived in Aberdeen
four years and never been known to do a
days work-except perhaps with his jaw,
as in the communication to which we
took exception, and also in leading hon
est toilers on wildgoose chases to the
advantage OF his own pocket.
This man Coles don't like THE HERALD
because it refused to help him bamboozle
the people last fall, in fact lie has no use
for any paper that he cannot use to furth-
er his own interest. He even takes ex-
ception to the harmless remark Of child
about fishing with pin hooks, which we
thought bright enough to publish. There
was no thought on our part OF citicising
the revival efforts recently made, as he
asserts, but he puts on a shoe which evil
IDENTIFY fits, judging from the ease with
which he steps into it.

From Montesano Nidet.c:

made by eastern parties for timber land
in this county.

filed.
A liquor license has been granted by
the commissioners to G.. w. Yana, OF
Westport. The license fee was reduced
from 500 to $500.
The admirers OF the national game in
this place feel like censuring the Monte
sano nine, for it is rumored that the
Aberdeens feel 80 discouraged over their
constant defeats last year by our team
that they will not even organize a club
this season.
The settlers over in the North river
country are naturally pleased over the
prospect Of the jam in the river being
removed by the government. Congress-
man Wilson has written that he has
secured an addition OF $500 to the
appropriation bill for the purpose of re.
moving the jam.
The amount of taxes collected by the
county treasurer from the different towns
Of the county during the month OF April
was as follows: Aberdeen, 5000 50; Cos
mopolis, $3.50; Elma, $21 TO- Hoquiam
s4s.13; Montesano, $40. 80 Ocosta $o7 90.
These amounts have been turned over
to the respective town treasurer
The sale OF big tract OF timber land
in this county has recently been consum-
mated, involving large sum OF money
in the transfer. The tract consists OF
about 1920 acres in range eleven, which,
we understand, is in the Humptulips
country. 1t was sold by d. A. Blodgstt
to Frederick Nehf and John w. Prestel
all Michigan parties. The price paid
according to the deed on file in the
auditors office was $50, 900 and other
valuable considerations. The same
property was sold about two years ago
for 500 600.

Wednesday night for the purpose OF

statements. The person who wrote it is

1t was Mr.. Peck's goldsepar.ting ma

have disintegrated by this time.

people, found in Senator Squires' tariff

ment OF Douglas fir from Puget sound last
year was S6, 4oS ,339 feet; from British

showing that our lumbermen can compete
with them in foreign markets, and even

ton for the home market. Verify the

trying to compel the home consumer to
pay more than the foreign.
