QUEER PROCEDURE.
The action of the city council in requil

The action of the city council in requir.
ing a deposit Of 500 from two saloon
keepers before they can have their license
renewed, is. to say the least, strange
one. The deposit is suppose to be for.
felted if gambling is carried on in the
Establishments, but, as the city ordi-
nances limit the fine for gambling to $50,
and as all penalties mist be imposed by
a competent court, it is plain that the
council could not forfeit the money, even
if the condition or its deposit was
violated.
But, the most singular part OF the pro-
cedure, and the enc that causes the &C.
ton to appear more like an attempt "to
get even" somewhere, is, that accom-
panying the applications for those licenses
is bond in the sum Of 81 900 each, con.
di'ioned that the applicant will keep an
orderly house, will not sell to minors,
"and that in all things he will comply
with the laws OF the state and the ordi-
nances of the city As gambling is a
violation of the state laws as we'll as the
city ordinances, it is plain that the, coun.
Gil already has bond of 81, 900 that CAN
be forfeited, and it has full authority to
increase that bond If it sees ct. But
this must be done by ordinance and be
general, not by a mere order directe d
against two of the twenty odd establish.
ments in the city.

ABERDEEN TIDE LANDS.
State Land Commissioner Calvert Talks Of the
Tansls.

In the seventh biennial report OF the
Stale land department made public Sat
urday, Commissioner Calvert says of the
conditions at Aberdeen:
A large portion OF the engineers report
is taken up in showing the conditions at
Aberdeen, which prevented the comply.
ing with the act Of 1901 requesting The
completion OF the survey Of the tide. lands
at that place. 1t appears that the harbor
line survey already made bears so many
errors and contradictions that it is i'm
possible to complete it, nor can the
original locations OF the lines be deter
mined owing to the absence OF ground
markings or monuments. The matter
was referred to the attorney general, who
delivered an opinion to the effect that the
board had no authority to make correct.
ions or alterations in the official maps
and records named. The harbor lines as
recommended in the original survey
having been approved by the secretary
OF war, the matter has been referred to
that department Of the national govern
ment for action.
Ii would appear from this that legisla-
tive action will not remedy this matter,
and the attention OF our representatives
in Congress should be advised OF the
necessities OF the case at the earliest pos
sible moment.

NEwSLESS NEWSPAPERS.

Editor Dean, of the Hoquiam Wash
ingtonian, is making preparations to
publish daily paper in that city about
the first OF the new year. Frequent
issues OF newsl.s SIS newspapers is becom'
ing the fad in this locality, and, like
most other fads, will run out in short
time. The average subscriber takes a
paper for the news. When the paper is
newsv. attractive advertisements draw
attention, but when nothing but boiler
plate and display advs greet the eye both
are quickly dropped, and the advertiser
wonders he gets so small return for
his money.
Tie fact is that immense sums OF
money are wasted on premature daily
newspapers (?> sometimes by their pro-
iectors: sometimes by their "angels,
but always by their beguiled advertisers.
Such thing as daily paper in city OF
less than 900 that is paying invest
ment is as rare as an absolutely honest
man. The reason is not difficult to To-
cate. TO collect, edit, pint and dis
tribute the news is costly. The entire
receipts OF a paper in a town OF 10000
would scarcely pay telegraph tolls on the
complete press dispatches, or print them
il they were obtained free, so the pre-
mature daily is forced to print scant
quantity OF news, and fake most that it
does print.
The patron of the small daily is COM
PEELED to take city paper for the news,
so that its circulation is necessarily lin.
tied to those who can afford to pay for
the few local happenings daily. The big
majority of our population are wage
earners who read the papers and keep
posted, but who have neither the ability
or disposition to pay IS year for few
columns of local items, private opinion
and hot air every day.
In talking thus the HERALD is actuatcd
by no spirit OF envy or jealousy. Since
the advent OF the newsless daily this
paper has forged right along, increasing
its publications from once to twice a
week as the progress OF the city justified,
without curtailing the quantity OF news
in each issue, and its increased subscrio.
ton list and advertising pat onage is a
sure indication that its course has met
with public approval, SO that in abiding
20 the small dailies, we are simply stat
ing the facts as they exist. If any reader
doubts what is said regarding the guam
tity of news given in those papers, just
let him take a rule and measure the
inches of news matter in any one issue
OF a daily then do likewise with copy
OF the HERALD, and if he does not find
this paper printing more news in two
issues than the daily does in six, he can
call at this office and have his name
placed on our subscription books for a
year free OF charge.

A HARBOR OUTLET.

At the meeting OF the county commits
sioners, last week, the subject OF wagon
road outlet far two-thirds the population
of the county was touched upon-for
which tardy recognition let us be truly
thankful
Surveyor Robertson filed his report OF
the south side route, which practically
eliminates that road from consideration.
He finds that to simply make dirt road,
with ten per cent grade, would cost
$4,000. This road would be seven and
one half miles in length, and extends
only between Cosmopolis and Melbourne.
After reaching Melbourne greater dlfh-
Guilty would be encountered than the
building of the entire north side roa
An expensive draw bridge must be built
and maintained, so that to reach Monte
sano from Aberdeen by that route would
cost about as follows, not including the
bridge at Aberdeen: Plank road to con.
meet South Aberdeen with Cosmopolis,
$1,000: Cosmopolis to Melbourne tsur.
veyors estimate) $4,000, grsveling and
planking same (small tstimate) $1,000;
bridge across Chehalis river, $40 600,
total $4,000, to which would be 'ded
5000 year for maintenance OF the
bridge. :, ,OC0 for tending the draw and
incidenta.s, and 80, 900 for deterioration
the life of a wooden bridge being but
ten years.
On the north side road We have the
estimate OF Surveyor Robertson that the
cost of a finished road, with $50 lineal
feet Of bridges and $500 feet of soft land
planked would be $l2,3O5, TO which it
may be necessary to add small sum for
rights OF way, but, as the same may be
said OF the other route, it need not be
figured here. From these estimates it
will be seen that the north side road will
cost about one.fourth as much as the
south side, and entail no permanent
charges for bridge maintenance. The
north side is comparatively level, whereas
the southern route means a ten per cent
grade or an increase of cost if the grade
be lowered.
The county attorney filed his opinion
that new petition would be necessary
for the north side road, owing to the fact
that the report OF the survey made on
the original petition has been lost. AS
the petitioners are in no way responsible
for the custody of county papers, it is
difficult to see why, in view OF the facts,
the board should not assume response
bility and establish the road. With the
report of Mr.. Robertson in hand, no
difficulty would be found in definitely
locating the road, but, ii the board will
place itself on record as ready to begin
the work, The necessary petition and
bond wiK be- fled forthwith.
