The vote of Chas. F. Neysey being
challenged at the primary was one of the
amusing features OF Saturday, and the
indignant statement Of Mr.. Neysey, that
his ancestors were figh ing for American
independence while those of his chal.
lengers were trotting about the highlands
OF Scotland in abbreviated trousers,
added not little to the amusement of
the occasion.
The Daily Bulletin has concluded to
change location, and A. PORTER has made
five-year lease with Major Patton, and
will erect building on Wishkah street,
opposite the HERALD office, for the Bull
letin. We are pleased at the location
our bright contemporary has selected, as
it will be easier to keep our eagle eye
upon him than it would have been had
the Heron street location been adopted.
The sympathy Of the entire county is
due to Montesano over the loss of it's
single mill. The Dennis shingle mill
was destroyed by fire Saturday afternoon,
the fire catching from the burning of
refuse. The mill had daily capacity of
100000, and had only recently started
up after a prolonged idleness. The mill
employed about 40 men. and the loss is
estimated at $1,000. 1t is doubtful if
the mill will be rebuilt.
Chas. ElfbraDdt, OF Montesano, is in
the city with line OF excellent books,
which he is selling by subscription. Mr..
Elfbrandt is one OF the pioneers OF Che
halls county, having been here since
1882. In the early sos, Mr.. Elfbrandt,
who is a tanner by trade, established a
tannery On the Chehalis river opposite
Montesano, but for the last ten years
has had trouble with his eyes, and has
been almost totally blind for several
years. In his laudable endeavor to make
living for himself and family, Mr.. Elf
brandt IS most worthy of consideration.
Three great days sport at Wes'po
has been arranged by the Foresters Of
/ America, next Saturday. Sunday ana

by this popular order to make this the

| 1852. On Saturday evening there will be
two grand balls, one ut the Pavilion and
the other ut Yana's hall. Splendid sport
Ing events are arranged for Sunday and
Monday, and a party OF grand lodge
officers from Tacoma and Seattle will be
present. The Foresters on Gravs llar-
Dor are making special efforts for this
occasion, the headquarters of the Wash
ngton and Idaho Jurisdictions being at
Aberdeen, with S. X. Bowes grand chief
ranger.
Some speedy work has been done by
r. s. German, manager OF the American
Fisheries Co., at Aberdeen, in the build
ing OF the new cannery at the foot OF II
street. Tee new establishment will have,
what is called, three lines, of canning
machinery, and will have capacity OF
LOO cans OF salmon daily. A large can
loft has been arranged, in which, in adj
dition to the storting of cans, the COM
pany will make its own cases, buying the
shocks from the box factories. Manager
German says the new cannery will be
ready to can fish on August 20, but, as
the fishing season opens on the 18th,
he wishes it understood that his COM
pany will take all fish offered as soon as
the seasons opens, even if they have to
place them in cold storage until they are
ready to can.
