FLEETING OPPORTUNITIES.

What is the city of Aberdeen going to
do to advance her interests this summer
and again take an upward stride toward
prosperity, is the question which all who
are giving thought to the matter, and
have tho interest Of our community at
heart, are asking. While we are at pres
ent perhaps enjoying as great II degree OF
prosperity as any other section OF the
state, some concerted action must be
taken looking toward the growth of the
city. If growth is desired then action
must be taken to produce that growth; it
will not come OF itself
Here are opportunities in some things
unsurpassed by any place in the state
Thousands Of people are looking toward
Washington, are preparing to and are
coming to the state. DO any Of them
know OF Aberdeen and Grays harbor?
No doubt some do, there is quite num-
Der Of them, however, who never heard
OF either place. Will they be liable to
come if they never hear Of them? Not
very. Is anything being done to tell them
that such places exist, and OF their re-
sources and opportunities? Not that we
know Of.
1t is true that chamber OF commerce
was rsorganized last winter, but nothing
has been accomplished. Here is work
that should be taken up. Much good can
be done with but little money, and when
taken up by chamber of commerce it
assumes dignity and has standing far
above that OF real estate spectators
advertisement. 1t means that the city
itself is back of the movement in an earn
est effort to show the world what her adj
vantages are, and for that reason is much
more effective than if taken up single
handed. Business men know that other
business men are not going to invite them
into Improbable fields for the sake Of
selling them real estate, and are therefore
more favorable impressed by such an in
vitation. Ii Aberdeen is to be made u
city let her citizens see to it that not q
man crosses the state line without hear
ing or reading something about Aberdeen.
There is another way in which the
chamber OF commerce can help Aberdeen.
There is a road up the Wishkah river,
starting at nowhere and ending nowhere.
and what there is OF it Is but partially
done. There is also planked street
leading toward it which likewise ends no.
where. Stringent economy is absolutely
necessary, but economy does not mean to
cease altogether from spending money,
but to get the most possible for it. Over
one bundled thousand dollars Of taxes
have been paid into the county treasury
within the last ninety days. part Of which
is for road purposes. 1t does no good in
the treasury. therefore get it out among
the people As we understand it this
district has never had dollar out of the
general road fund, although paying more
than one-tenth OF it year after wear. This
district is entitled to have that road com.
pleted now, and this city is in honor
bound to extend its street the short dis.
lance that lies between the ends OF each
there is money on hand to do the work.
Will the chamber OF commerce and city
council allow these opportunities to pass
bv?

LUMBER NOTES.

Wilson's mill shut down for repairs a
part OF the past week.
The three masted schooner Marion ar
rived from san Francisco Saturday and
is loading lumber at the Weatherwax
mill.
Link & Young's new shinglc mill at
Cosmopolis limbered up its machinery
last week, and this week starts up full
force. 1t is in the hands of practical men
and will make money ii any mill does.
They will make specially OF extra
lengths.
With the exception OF the West mill
all of the Aberdeen mills are now run
ming. In fact, SO far as we can learn, all
the mills on the harbor are in operation.
The lIoquiam mills are again running on
full time, the Northwest Lumber Com
pany finding it necessary to run over.
time.
Now that the Single Manufacturers
Association has cut loose from the Deal
ers association, and determined to sell the
Eastern buyer at the same rate as the
Western. and has made slight reduction
in price, the association has better pros
pect of holding together. The boycott Of
the eastern buyers will no doubt 10 &C.
clared off, and the association mills again
receive their share OF orders.
The lumber trade at San Francisco is
somewhat demoralized just now Mr..
Jacob Weatherwax who has recently re-.
Gently returned from there says it is on
account Of the fight between the Pacific
Pine Company and the Slade Lumber
Company for the city contract. which is
for about 100000 feet annually. Lum-
Der is retailing at $500, which is less than
wholesale cost. As q result OF the fight
charters have come down, some having
been taken rs low as 1915. The S!ade
Lumber Company have to fight 500 ,00O,-
600 which is back Of the Pacific Pine Co.,
but they propose 10 stay with them until
they qu. the fight which they inaugur-
ated.
The general market shows some evil
dences OF enlargement, though not in rs
pronounced Il degree as in years OF ordi-
nary prosperity. The distributive trade
continues to anticipate nothing, but is
strictly confined to the current demand
for consumption. In several OF the larger
cities there is considerable building in
progress, and this calls fer lumber to an
extent nearly or quite equal TO the amount
demanded in the spring season OF former
years. But in the smaller interior places,
and in the rural districts, a close economy
OF means is restricting consumption OH
buildin. or any other account. Manufac-
turers OF all classes are also using limit.

izins the movement Ct stocks from market
centers. -Northwestern Iumbermar

The irrigable regions vary widely in their
natural conditions, of course. and the plans
TO be adopted to make these deserts bloom
like the rose must vary. Science has been
studying the questions involved, and these
interstate congresses, by keeping abe public
mind keenly alive 20 the advantages 20 be
derived and the difficulties to be overcome
in the pursuit Of the great aim to be
reached, are CT great value. Omaha will
do everything TO honor an occasion so close
ly associated with the welfare of Nebraska
and its sister states OF the far west. Such
conventions as these are worthy of the most
interested attention from all parts Of the
country, for what affects the west affects
the east. The day Is rapidly going by when
one section can afford an indifferent atti-
tude to the essential interests OF active sec
tions. There is a national irrigation com
mission under control Of the interior de-
partment, and each Of the states specially
interested has also bureau. To bring
these into close relation with each other
and with public sentiment is Of much inn
portance.
Those who have examined the question
most deeply claim that with good irriga-
ton those regions which rely on this meth
cd Of water distribution have greatly the
advantage over such sections as depend on
what is regarded as an equable rainfall.
In the case Of the latter there are periods
every year Of temporary drought or Of too
much rain. In the regions Of irrigation
the farmer receives exactly what his crops
need-nO more, no less. II will becuriOus
II it is shown that in this way science can
transmute a natural defect into a great
