A Parallel.

Olympia's experience with the
Northern Pacific Railroad Incorporate
ors in the location of its saltwater
terminus, nearly 30 years ago, is re-
peatcd on small scale by Aberdcen's
deal with the Panel and Folding Box
Co. for the location of its factory at
that point. The company made de-
mand for site and a moneyed sub
sidy, as a consideration Tor locating its
factory there, both of which condi-
tions were fully met, and accepted,
just as the demand OF the railroad
company was acceded to in every par
ticular, by Olympia, as condition for
the terminal location on Budd's Inlet.
Then a little wheel within the big
wheel got loose and enlarged its cir
conference.-the as the Lake Super
ior and Puget Sound Land ring did
with the railroad company and made
it 60 back upon its solemn agreement
and contract. The terminus was To-
Gated at Olympia after full and
thorough understanding of its natural
advantages over any and every other
point OH Puget Sound, and a fixed
and satisfactory compensation was &C
cepted for the act; just as the Panel
and Folding Box factory was located
at Aberdeen after full examination,
and the site was donated and the cash
subsidy placed in escrow for the COM
pany, soon as its conditional work
might be completed. The citizens of
Olympia were allowed to congratulate
themselves upon their good fortune
six months before bubble bursted when
the land ring compelled the railroad
company to violate its solemn pledge.
The people OF Aberdeen were allowed
scarcely as many works before the
box company played its "panel"
game on them, and then "folded its
tent and silently stole away" The
railroad found place to sink mil
lions OF dollars in improbable invest
ments at Tacoma as doubtless the box
company will find equally advantage
eous opportunities for disposing of its
thousands at Hoquiam.
