A POINT OF VANTAGE.

The Bulletin utterly fails to grasp the
situation respecting the strategic i'm.
portance OF Grays harbor in case of war
with England. We have not MOI have
we had any apprehension Of such a war
at this time, but the very possibility Of
it as exemplifed in the present emer.
gency shows the wisdom Of preparing for
it. With four miles of English batteries
along the southern ED OF Vancouver
island, carrying the latest improved guns,
and further fortified by torpedoes which
cover the bottom OF the straits, It would
be impossible for an American man.of-
war to enter Puget sound or to land sol.
diers even. 1t il not then so much that
foreign soldiers be kept out of Grays har-
Dor, but that our own may be able to
land. Where would We be in case Of
such war without a port on this whole
northwest coast into which our navy
could 60 in safety for munitions and
supplies, and out OF which it could again
60 to battle? The value OF this harbor
for such purposes would be inestimable,
and the work Of improvement on the
QUITE, bar should therefore be pushed to
completion at the earliest possible date,
and the full amount Of the appropriation
for such Improvements should be granted
by this congress, that there may be no
delays. The work Of fortiication would
follow, and it should also be upon scale
commensurate with the importance Of
the harbor as a point Of vantage in case

ton but even under the stress OF intense
and unjust rivalry and competition the
lumbermen OF this coast can find some
cause for thankfulness. Profits have
been meager and in many cases none
have been realized, but the lumber and
kindred industries have brought food
and raiment to many families on this
coast, who otherwise would have suffered.
Neither capital nor labor have been fairly
compensated but these are cheap times
and dollar is bigger now than it ever
was before. There is much OF good cheer
in the faith that is found in all who dwell
on this coast.-West Cast Lumberman.

Of course it's "arrant presumption for
the Democrats to talk tariff and finance"
as the Bulletin says; only Republicans
know anything about these subjects.
Why, they paid off $3.50, 100000 of the
public debt, and passed the Mckinley
bill, under their last administration. But
where did they get the money? That
was just the amount left in the treasury
by Cleveland's first administration, and
the spectacle Of Crisp last week holding

Official Paper Of the City Of Aberdeen.
THE OLD YEAR.

The year which has closed has been
one to which the people Of Aberdeen and
Grays harbor can look back upon with
considerable degree OF satisfaction, and
the new year finds very few who wish to
work out OF employment. Profits and
wages It is true have been small, but liv.
ing has likewise been cheap, and profits
and wages must wait demand beyond
the supply. The steadily increasing de.
mand Of the year for our products points
to the belief that the coming year will see
still greater increase in the betterment
Of our people. With the improved con-
Gitions have come increased population
to our city, which now numbers scores Of
families more than year ago; vacant
houses have been filled and a number Of
new ones built new business enterprises
have been started. more are on the way,
and the city presents an appearance Of
enterprise and prosperity.
We present herewith some statistics for
the year showing the amount Of our prin-
clpal industries, which bear out the state.
ments made above. The lumber statis-
tics are for the entire harbor and county,
and are twenty-five per cent better than
the preceding year. The other statistics
are for the city only.
