will be good news to his many friends.

First streets.
j. w. Divilbiss and family came down
from Montesano and spent last Sunday
with the family Of James Barrett, the
occasion being the birthday of Mrs.
Barrett, his sister.
ID. j. Crimmins, of Walla Walla, was
in town Saturday and Sunday, looking
after the interests here OF the firm OF
Whitehouse, Crimmins 4 Co., with a
view Of making some disposition Of their
mill property SO as put it in operation in
the near future.
Five new members were initiated by
the Aberdeen lodge I. O. G.. 4. on last
Friday night, one re-instated and two
ballotted upon. All OF the harbor lodges
will meet in this city next Friday night.
The lodge earnestly desires to again take
up the work Of the juvenile order, if a
suitable person can be found to take
charge Of it..
The Norwegian Methodist conference
at Astoria has adjourned Rev. O..
Heggen, who has filed the charge here
and at South Bend for the past four
years, is succeeded by Rev. John J..
Field, Mr.. Heggen being sent to Everett
and Marysville. Ellert J. Lundegaard is
re.appointed presiding elder OF the Wash
ington district.
John Est was down from his farm on
the Wynooche, Tuesday. He says the
new road from the Aberdeen Gardens
will give them good route to Aberdeen,
which they have wanted for some time.
They are practically as near Aberdeen as
Montesano, and the former being the
better market the new road will be a
great advantage to the settlers, who ex-
pect as soon as the Wishkah river road is
finished to put in ferry at the Gardens.
The weather for the past week has
been uncertain, showery and changeable,
as was fitting to the time of transition
from summer to autumn. Frosts were
general throughout the state, with colder
weather. The temperature fell as low as
SO at Seattle and Walla Walla and as low
as 20 at several places; A was the low
est recorded in Aberdeen. In the east
ern portion Of Washington considerable
damage was done to corn, tomatoes. Gu
cumbers, grapes, and other tender vege-
tation.
The committee appointed by the citi-
zens' meeting last week to confer with
the neighboring towns regarding an ex-
hibit at the Portland exposition have not
met with sufficient encouragement to
warrant the undertaking. The replies
received to the letters sent out showed
that the proposition was popular one,
but the shortness OF time seemed to be
too great an obstacle. THE HERALD has
been advocating such an exhibit for sew
eral years, and hopes that next year the
matter will be taken in hand in time.
Another settlement is being brought
into more direct communication with
Aberdeen by the opening up OF trail
from Miller's on the upper Wishkah to
the upper Wynooche. The work is be-
ing engineered by George Weatherwax
who has been in town for few weeks
securing subscription from the business
men. The distance from Miller's is about
twelve miles, over fairly good route
They are cutting trail eight feet wide
and are now about half through. Mason
county has offered to put road through
to this settlement, if they will ask to be
set off to Mason county. This OF course
Aberdeen and Chehalis county does moi
want, and they should be aided. They
wish to be set off as road district, ant
say IN that case they will put a good road
where the trail is now going.
