the proprietors are too busy to talk.
Fisheries? The best run OF salmon for
wears, the best demand for the fish and
the best prices make every one connected
with the industry smile Such is the con-
dition of business. There is no question
about the future. As the country grows
and prospers so will the city OF Aberdeen.
\ word about its location, The city is
divided by the W1shkah and Chehais
rivers, being located at the mouth OF both
streams, where they unite to form that
pear-shaped bay called Grays Ilarbor
The city is thus divided into Aberdeen,
East Aberdeen and South Aberdeen, the
two former being practically one, the
Wishkah river being narrow but deep
Here is located the town proper, with its
numerous industries, while Soutl Aber-
deem is the home OF the shingIe industry.
The Chehalis river is 300 feet wide at
this point, with deep water up to both
banks. Thus excellent shipping facilities
are to be had by water, while the North
ern Pacific has tracks and terminal facili-
ties on each side OF the river, giving in
dustries located on either side the best OF
shipping privileges by rail and water.
Aberdeen has good public schools. The
high school building is capable OF seating
800 scholars, and two other school build
ings provide ample accommodation IN
that respect. There are twelve churches
in the city and the spiritual welfare OF the
people is assured Here also are electric
lights, fine water system, owned by the
city. and as enterprising class OF citi-
zens as can be found anywhere in the
Union. In the days to come Aberdeen
will be very much in evidence in the tu-
ture history OF the state OF Washington.
The growth OF the city and surrounding
country has peen retarded in the past by
the shallow water found on the bar at the
entrance of the ha,bor. Vessels drawing
over seventeen feet Of water could not
trade in here, but that objection will soon
be done away with. An appropriation OF
81 900, 900 has been made to build Il Jetty
on the south side OF the harbor, under the
continuous contract system, and the Hale
a. Kern Contract Company already has
the terminal work completed. Work Is
progressing rapidly on the Jetfy proper.
From now on the work will be pushed
RAPIDLY. Early next season decided I'M
provenent will be noted in the depth OF
water on the bar. Then larger vessels can
he secured to trade from Aberdeen, when
will mean a larger volume Of business.
One firm, the West & Slade Mill Com
panv, during the past season has bulIt
vessel at their ship yard in this city to
carry 100000 feet, board measure on Il
draft OF seventeen feet, TO accommodate
their groAing foreign trade, and Will
doubtless build others Of the same KIND
during the coming season,--Soattlo Ios'-

distances That Prove Their Possession OF
the Computing Faculty.
Several years ago there lived in Gin
cinnati q mule which was employed by
street railway company in hauling
cars up steep incline. This animal
was hitcEed in front of the regular
team and unhitched as soon as the car
arrived at the top Of the hill. Il made
certain number of trips in the fore
noon Il have forgotten the numb Der, but
will say 90 for the sake of convenience)
and like number in the afternoon,
resting for an hour at noon. AS soon as
the mule completed it's fiftieth trip it
marched away to its stable without or
ders from its driver.
To show that it was not influenced
by the sound of the factory whistles and
bells the following remarkable action
on the part of this animal is vouched
for by the superintendent Of the line,
who gave me these data: On a certain
occasion, duringa musical festival, this
mule was transferred to the night shift,
and the very instant it completed its
tiftieth trip it started for the stables. 1t
took the combined efforts of several
men to make it return to its duty. At
night there were no bells or whistles to
inform the creature that quitting
timep had come. 1t had counted tho
trips, and having finished it's full quota
OF so it thought that the time for rest
and food had arrived
Some monkeys give unmistakable evil
dences of the possession by them of the
computing faculty. In 1880 made the
acquaintance of very intelligent Chin
panzee which could count as high as
three. That this was not trick sug-
gested by sensual impulses had ample
opportunity of satisfying myself. The
owner Of the animal would leave the
room, no one being present but myself,
and when would call for two marbles
or one marble or three marbles as the
case might be, the monkey would grave
ly hand over the required number. Ro-
names mentions an ape which could
count three, the material used in his
experiment being straws from the ami
mails cage. Wolff, Darwin, Forbes and
Hartman also give instances of the com {.
putting faculty in apes and monkeys

August Review.

In the Pennsylvania fields, as
result Of the increased number Of
wells finished, and a half dozen five
hundred barrel wells the average
production per we'll finished during
August was materially increased
over July. This fact is corroborated
by increased runs A similar con-
dition is also shown in the Lima
fields, but not as a result Of few
large wells.
Operations ale being largely con.
fined to what might be termed re-
serve territory. where oil is known
10 exist, good average wells are to
be expected with an occasional
good strike.
To the oil producer whose profit
must all come out of the price re-
ceived for the product at the wells
the situation is becoming more and
more favorable.
The average decline in the pro-
duction of Pennsylvania oil during
the present year has been 1854 bar
rels per day, aud the average de-
cline in the production Of Lima oil
for the present year has been 1000
barrels per day. While the aver
age shipments of Pennsylvania oil
so far this year lack 1916 barrels
daily of being as much as had been
reached at the same time one year
ag), the average shipments of Lima
OIL are 10000 barrels daily this
year in excess Of 1897. This shows
a net increase i'll the demand for
American oils on basis of Penn
sylvania crude of 4,6oo barrels
daily. Aud a net decrease in the
supply of American oil on the same
basis of IL 800 barrels, and further
the increased demand as indicated
by the shipments OF Lima and
Pennsylvania oils is substantially
corroborated by the increase Of ex-
ports for the present year as COM
pared with the year previous.
Nothing more favorable than the
present outlook with regard to sup.
ply and demand could be asked Tor
on the part Of the American oil
producer, other than fair recog-
milton of these positive conditions
in the form OF an increased price for
oil at the wells. 1t is no longer of
any particular moment to oil pro-,
ducers what methods of necessity
the re6ners may adopt in disposing
Of these oils. All that the Amer
lean oil producer can consistently
ask is fair share of the profits of
the business, and to know that the
interests of American oil are being
properly and faithfully guarded in
foreign lands. 1t would certainly
be an un.American position for the
American oil re6ners, who have the
advantage Of Unlimited capital as
the result of profits already derived
from the business, the best quality
of oil the world affords, and the
prestige of the American nation, to
set up the claim that they cannot
hold our foreign trade. And it
would be serious offense, and one
which the American people would
surely hold them to strict account
for, should a portion of this nade be
sacrificed for no other ostensible
reason than to secure an advantage
over the American oil producers.
These remarks are prompted from
reading the i'll forebodings of the
Oil City Derrick regarding the
probable loss of our foreign de-
mand, and we are frank to admit
are rot justified upon any real
evidence at hand. American Oil

THE WAR HAS REALLY BEGUN.

The landing of the troops in Cuba
means that, unless orders from Wash
ington interfere, we are soon to be in the
midst of a war that will be the be-
ginning of what was expected when the
declaration of war was made two months
ago. 1t is difficult now to see how, if
they desire, the authorities can prevent
fighting on n large scale.
The Spaniards will fight. There is
not room to doubt this after what
has occurred. We may expect them
to sell their lives dearly. 1t is also
to be expected that the insurgents will
come to the assistance of the American
forces. They have no arms and no
equipment, and hitherto it has not been
the part of the wisdom for them to en-
gage the Spaniards in open battle. They
will now be armed. and as they know the
country thoroughly and keenly feel the
sense of the wrongs they have been made
to suffer, General Shafter will find
them willing and capable allies. There
has been much talk about the failure OF
the Cubans to fight their own battles.
This is undeserved. Men who have sus-
tanned themselves for three years in
a campaign against Spain, without mon
ey, arms or other equipment, are not men
to lag when the time comes for them
to help strike the decisive blow under
favorable auspices.
The whole country will follow with
their prayers the brave men who have
made the first stand in large numbers
on Cuban soil. The humane way to
fight this war is to fight. The Span
iards will not give mp the fight until
they are conquered. We have 100000
men under arms and an abundance Of
supplies and money. The men can fight
now and win victories; they are anxious
to go to the front; and the army and
navy officers are restless under the or
ders that have held them back so long.
NV that they are in position TO fight,
we may expect soon to have news of a
decisive battle.

JUDICIAL COURTESY.

When Judges Seymour and Dick were
Federal Judges in North Carolina the
highest courtesy marked always the con-
duet of that court MS to the State Judges.
How far we have changed from that IS
strikingly shown by an account in late
Charlotte paper of a three hours speech
in which Captain Charles Price ''ridI-
culed numerically the decision of the
State Supreme Court in the James case.
The James case" was the decision of
our Supreme Court that the Southern
Railway Co." could not become a cor
poration as the Western North Carolina
railroad" by simply buying the roadway
and other property of that bankrupt cor
poration, but to operate here a North
Carolina franchise it must become in
corporated, like any other railroad COM
pany. As this would make it a North
Carolina corporation and cases against
it could not be removed into the Federal
Court the Southern was very much
displeased with the ruling. But that
Judge SimOnton should for three hours
have permitted counsel to ridicule the
decision Of the State court is something
nnheard of in the judicial annals of this
country. Few papers have resented this
breach of judicial propriety and attack
upon our State court, probably because
they have not seen it.

INDIANA ALRIGHT.

There is no going backward. The
Indiana Democratic Convention held
Wednesday, was the greatest in ten
years. 1t reaffirmed the Chicago plat
form, denounced the Secretary of the
Treasury's policy of enforcing the gold
standard more thoroughly, declaring
that the practice of the Treasury in
paying Treasury notes in gold only in
violation of law and in surrendering the
option of the government, reserved by
statute, to pay in gold or silver, is chiefly
responsible for theg reat money depres-
sion now and for so long a period exist
ing in this country, is destructive of bust
ness enterprise. and dangerous to the
public credit and the prosperity of the
people and a serious menace to the ma
tional honor"
