Grays HarbOr Emporium.

A visit to N. G. Kaufman's establish
ment yesterday revealed to the writer
the fact that in at least one store in
Aberdeen as fine line of dry goods is
carried as is done by similar establish
msnts in the larger cities. We were
pleased as we'll as surprised at the dis
play. Over $4,000 worth Of goods have
been received during the past two weeks,
and the counters and shelves are loaded
with bargains in beautiful goods. The
latest things in dress goods, all in hand
some patterns and colors. Beautiful
Gismonda silks, bewitching Partisan
Ripple, Plisse Franchise and brocadsd
satins. The latest Pongee novelties,
Teazle Down and Ssrges. Notions, novel.
ties and fancy goods that absolutely
bewilder the masculine mind. Ladies,
call and enjoy half hour looking at
these things which ale so dear to the
feminine heart. The facts are that the
old reliable house Of N. G. Kaufman to.
day carries by far the largest stock Of
dry goods and clothing OF any house in
the Grays harbor country, and are meet
ing all competition by finer line Of
goods than ever and at attractive prices
Mr.. Kaufman has been here through
thick and thin, is here to stay, and de.
serves the patronage he is enjoying.

The County Wins.

The suit of the State Trust Company
Of New York, VS.. Chehals county, w. p.
Book, J. NJ. Woatherwax and Chas. Il.
Wilson, known as the railroad iron case,
was heard before Judge Hanfoid, OF the
federal court, at Tacoma, the past week
and resulted in a non-suit, being victory
for the defendants. The contention OF
the plaintiff was, first, that the rails were
property in transit and were rot subject
to taxation, and second, that they should
have been assessed to the Columbia
Railway Il Navigation Company instead
Of the State Trust Company.
After the plaintiff had presented it's
case, and the defendants had asked for
an sstoppel, Judge Haniord said he would
like to hear from the plaintiff 8 attorneys
upon three important points: tirst, why
the property should not be assessed !;
second, why it should not be assessed 10
the State Trust Company, and third. why
the county should be made party to the
suit. Plaintiff claimed as to the first
that the property was in transit, and as
to the second point that the property was
not transferred to the State Trust Com
pany until after the first Of April, the
time for assessing. in fact, not until
June. Defendants, in reply, stated the
destination of the iron WAS to point
within the state and that the law gave
the right to assess wherever found. The
law also gave the right to correct the tax
roll at any time before it was signed,
even a. late as August.
Judge Hanford held that the county
officials only did their sworn duty in
assessing in the manner they had, and
that they would have been foolish to
assess to any ether party than the one
in whom the title appeared Of record,
even though they had been notified that
the bill Of sale was intended only As a
mortgage. Doolittle & Fogg appeared for
plaintiffs, ]. B. Bridges for Chshalis
county, Ben Shesks and ]. G. Hogan for
w. ?. Book, and Austin +. Grifliths for
J. NJ. Weatherwax and G. r. Wilson.
The decision Of course is satisfactory to
the people of Chehalis county, as some
$40, 900 were involved, and for which the
county would ultimately have been COM
PEELED to pay in the end had the decision
been the other way.

The Schools VIII Continue.

A sufficient amount OF money has been
subscribed to insure the continuance of
the Aberdeen public schools for another
month, thus enabling all grades to be
ready for promotion. The teachers them
selves have contributed largely to this
end, and Il number who are not patrons
Of the schools, as we'll as the most OF
those who are. This result is very graft
flying, and will avoid confusion that
would have arisen during the next school
year, by reason Of failure to make pro-
motions at the beginning Of the term.

COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS,

All present.
Much of the time was taken up by Mr..
Finch in vain attempt to persuade the
council that his bid for the city printing
was the only one before them, and that
they ought to accept it. The city attor-
ney's opinion was that the council could
consider both bids ii the bidders waived
the Irregularities in the call for bids
This waiver was given, but the council
rejected both bids and ordered u call for
new ones.
The water committee recommended a
number OF changes in the water rates and
the matter was referred back for compile
