obe Song Of the Pines

THE pines were asleep in the midday heat
That shimmered down the lea,
But they walked with the roar of wave-swept shore
When the wind came in from the sea.
They sang of ships. and the boatswain piped,
The hoarse watch roared a tune;
The taut sheets whined in the twanging wind
You heard the breakers Groom.
For their brothers-masts on thousand keels-
Had sent greeting free
And the answering song sweled clear and strong
When the wind came in from the sea.

An Aberdeen Industry.

The casual observer, who thinks when
he has looked over the saw mills and
shipyards he has seen all the wage pay.
ing industries of Aberdeen, would be
surprised by taking stroll through what
are termed, the minor industries of the
city and footing up the aggregate wages
paid by them monthly. The machine
shops, foundries, cigar factory, ice fac
tory, etc. etc, employing among them a
greater number of hands than the largest
saw mill.
Amongst these industries the Aberdeen
Steam Laundry belongs III the front
rank, and it is an institution Of its kind
seldom found in city of this size. Wis
itors from the large cities, who happen
to visit the laundry are astonished at the
extent and quality Of it's equipment. G.
W. Richmond, the proprietor, has about
$4,000 invested in laundry machinery,
nearly $4,000 worth arriving from San
Francisco last week. Twenty-Five people
are employed, and the monthly pay roll
exceeds $1,000, and the quality of the
work turned out is not excelled any
where, while the scale of prices is lower
than in the Sound cities.
In view of these facts one would
naturally suppose the custom of sending
laundry to the Sound-that became
established prior to the advent of the
Aberdeen Steam Laundry-would cease,
but such is not the case. Each week
baskets of laundry work are shipped to
the Sound and back. This is all wrong,
as matter of town pride the home
institution should be patronized, even
were the prices shade higher. But
such is not the case. No better work is
done anywhere, and the prices are lower
than Oh the Sound, so that the only
reason that can be presumed for the
shipment of laundry, is that some OF the
people are in ignorance OF the importance
of the Aberdeen Steam Laundry to the
city, its superior class of work and its
lower prices. ii this article induces q
trial of the home institution, and thus
keep some money at home that has beer
going abroad, the writer will feel thai
his labor has not been in vain.
