CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
THURSDAY, DEC. ID, 1000.
A COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATION

The small attendance at the meeting
last evening. called for the purpose OF
ORGANIZING a commercial body, failed to
display the old time Aberdeen spirit in
matters of importance to the progress OF
the CITY. Still. when the causes of this
apparent lack of interest are inquired
into, ii " be found that an apathetic
feeling among the citizens OF Aberdeen
is a very minor cause. The real reason
is that everybody is busy, each thinks
he cannot spare the time, and that there
will be a sufficient number present with
out him; that his willingness to aid in
whatever is determined upon by the rest
is sufficient. This feeling was pretty
general last evening, SO much so that
the gathering was not considered suffic-
iently representative to justify going
ahead with the organization, and it is
hoped that every citizen, interested in
the upbuildng of Aberdeen, will take
the TING in which to attend the meeting
tomorrow afternoon.
1t is safe to say that no city of the size
of Aberdeen exists on the Pacific Coast
today without a commercial body OF
some kind, and it is an equally safe
proposition, that no place requires the
active services OF such body any more
than does Aberdeen. At the present
rate, the growth OF Aberdeen will shortly
exceed the supporting capacity OF the
wagc-paying industries established here,
and, unless the number of manu- featuring
institutions keep pace with the increase
of population, it will not be very long
until our business men will have more
time on their hands than will be profit
able. 70 increase our manufacturing
industries requires persistent, well di-
rectcd, organized work, scattering indi-
ydual efforts, although commcndable, is
not to be relied upon.
Several important propositions are at
this ot;r;sani1aifton. Two manufacturina
plants are knocking at our doors. The
improvement of the inner harbor re-
should be taken to secure such legisla-
ton at the coming session as will enable
owners OF our water front to obtain title
to the tide lands. The harbor lines in
front Of the city should be altered too.
In fact there are any number Of import
ant matters ion this body to take up at
once, but an organization OF this kind
cannot be created or supported by few
individuals. TO be effective it must be
Thoroughly representative, and to make
it so every business in the city should
be represented tomorrow.

The ' idette alludes to some printing
done by the HERALD for the county, for
which $50 was charged, as against some
thing similar done by the independent
for Sc, and threatens to bring hundreds
of such instances Of "gfafting' to light.
We know nothing of the prices charged
by any office but our own, and, as the
Nidette does not specify the item, we do
not know to what the allusion refers, but
we are extremely pleased that the Vidette
is going to make public some of the
instances in which the county has been
skinned on its job printing bills. Nothing
would please this paper better than list
of its printing bills published in parallel
columns with those OF our bilious con-
temporary, and, to assist in the worthy
move, we will suggest that, for starter,
he publish the bill OF J. +. McDougall
for the tax statements for the year 1896,
which he will find was for $1S5. Then
put in parallel the bills OF the HERALD
for identically the same work, for the
years $500, which he will find was for
500 each time. Oh yes we are anxious
for those items, so anxious that if the
Vidette does not publish them quickly,
the HERALD will. During the past four
years the county has had its printing
done at cash commercial rates, for the
first time in its history, and the Vidette
well knows it.

Pen Lumber Purchases.

A few days g a charge was made
in the Las Vegas daily to the effect
that superintendent Bursum, Of the
territorial penitentiary, had recently
purchased two car loads of lumber in
Denver, and comment was made there
on thai it was an improper proceeding,
and that the superintendent should not
have gone outside of the territory for
the purchase Of such lumber. An ex-
animation of the records discloses that
no lumber had been purchased in Den
yer for the use of the ~penitentiary by
the superintendent, and all the lumber
purchased by him since May 1, 1899, the
day upon which he took charge of the
territorial prison, had been purchased
from the Las Vegas lumber firm of Fl.
G. Coors. Comments unnecessary.

The house of passed the bill
enabling women to be elected aldermen
and councillors in the new borough
councils formed under the London gov
eminent bill. The woman suffrage
movement is making progress, even in
staid old England, and the day seems
not far distant when universal suffrage
will be granted the women of enlight-
ened and progressive nations upon the
same basis that it is possessed by men
The movement Is making slow but sure
progress, and no matter whether SUI
frage would be a good or wise privilege
to confer upon women or not, 1t Will
triumph in the end, for it is based up
on principles of equity and justice.

A Memorial Park.

A memorial park is to be made of the
battlefields of Fredericksburg, Chan
c%ellorsville, Spottsylvania and the Will
derness in Virginia. All these battles
were fought within a few miles OF each
other, and within the limits of the pro-
posed park almost $50, 900 men were
killed or wounded. These battles were
among the most terrific engagements
recorded in history, and every one of
them was won by Gen. Robert r. Lee
with a force inferior to that of the Fed
erals under the command Of such gen
erals as Hooker, Burnside and Grant.
Now that sectional feeling Is a matter
Of history only. it will not harm to give
credit to General Lee as having been
one of the greatest, If not the greatest,
general in American history. The SEN
ate has passed the bill to make the bat
tlefields a memorial park of the nation,
which will ever be a hallowed spot to
Americans of the north as well as Of
the south.

A Railroad Trust.

The Vanderbilt interests control ev-
cry railroad east of the Mississippi riv-
err is the startling announcement that
comes from New York. This means
that a gigantic railroad trust has beer
formed, which will in time reach out
for the western roads; in fact, controls
some of them already. AS the Wander
bilt interests are progressive interests,
however, and as the passenger rates
and freight rates on their lines are as
low as any, the trust might not be a
bad thing If it were not for the fact that
1t also controls the total coal output of
the eastern coal mines. Coal has be-
come a mighty factor in modern indus
try and progress, and now that Europe
has given notice that it needs and
wants American coal, those who control
the coal output of the country possess
a power that is tremendous, and with
which they can build up or ruin n in
dustry in the United States. Should
that power be used wrongfully the peo-
pie will have to find a way to fight and
destroy this great monopoly, whose for
nation may be the beginning of the end
of the trust era in this country.

The Chinese and Japanese of san
Francisco protest against being inocu-
lated against the bubonic plague. Els
pecially the Chinese will under no cir
cumstances allow themselves to be pro-
tected against the plague, as their re-
ligion forbids them to have their skin
punctured. AS San Francisco is anxious
to get rid of the Chinese, anyway, this
would be a good opportunity to do it.
The refusal of the Cinnamon to be in
oculated furnishes a preteXt to send
them home to China, or. as one paper
has suggested, to dump them into the
sea.

The attempt of the Democrats to
make the Fourth of July a Democratic
holiday will not meet with success, and
exhibits bad taste. The Fourth of July,
on account of ~reigning prosperity, WI
ne celebrated with greater enthusiasm
than ever before in New Mexico and
elsewhere, but it will not be a Demo
cratic, nor a Republican, nor a Popu-
list holiday, but a holiday for all the
people, although it is the PROSPERITY
brought by a wise Republican admin
i~stration, that enables everybody to
join in the celebration with true thank
fulness that he is an American.

A new use has been found for smelter
Stag. A Denver professor has emon-
strated that it makes far better pave-
ments than asphalt or cement. me
Stag is crushed and then rolled with
heavy rollers. The cost per square yard
of pavement would be only 60 tents.
Payements of that sort We're laid in a
French town in 1882, and they are still
in perfect condition. This being the
case, the smelter at Cerrillos ought to
furnish excellent material for the pave
ments of Santa Fe and Albuquerque,
both of which cities stand in need of
several more miles of good pavements.

A MAGNIFICENT SPECTACLE.
The u is an immense globe of fire;
not as we see it through dense haze at
sunset, with sharply defined outline,
but in reality possessing streamers or
appendages millions of miles beyond it's
surface. The streamers are only WISH
BILE during a total eclipse, and consti-
tute the corona. The approach of the
moment of totality is extremely i'm
pressive. The color of daylight
changes, darkness increases gradually;
the jet-black outline of the moon en-
croaches on the dazzling disk of the sun
until only a rapidly diminishing cres-
cent of light remains. AS long as even
a hairs breadth of this crescent exists
the corona is invisible, but presently a
black shadow is seer to approach, and
in a few moments, should the sky be
clear and If the observer Is so situated
that he can command a distant view of
the horizon, he may see the moons
shadow coming, much like a severe
wind and thunder storm, with almos
terrifying swiftness; the sunlight COM
pletely disappears. and, in an instant,
the corona bursts into view, magnif1-
cent in extent Understandable in beauty,
impressive beyond compare.
AIDS FOR THE EYE.
Professor Pickering, of Harvard
says: Each observer should have some
aid to the eyesight. If it is only an op-
era glass. Great care should be taker
not to dazzle the eyes by watching the
sun too long during the partial phase
not only on account Of the danger OF
straining the eyesight, but because il
the eyes are dazzled the corona will b.
less we'll seen. A combination of rec
and green glasses, or red, green and
| blue, make a scientific shade for the
eyes, and it can hardly be too dark
