Busy at Aberdeen.

ABERDNEEN, Wash, Oct. "a
Aberdeen has the appearance of busy
mining camp or new western town
in the palmiest days of boom. All
is life, hustle and activity. A large
number of temporary structures arc
being erected under permits from the
council, which contains clause that
such temporary buildings may be re
moved whenever the council deems il
necessary. Laborers are in great de
mand, and the air is laden with the
music made by honest toll, as saw
plane and hammer are used. Specula
ton in building sites is rife, and the
town is full Of prospective business
locations. A particular feature of in
terest is the fact that very few Of
the property owners along Harlem
street are willing to dispose of their
holdings, even though offered fancy
prices. Some intend to Use them them.
selves. while others, intoxicated by the
good prices offered, are holding for
still higher figures.

Palouse Grain Crop.

Washington. He reports that the wheat

but that it falls fully 25 per cent be-
low the yield of last year. The short
age, he says, was caused by the severe
frosts last winter while the ground was
unprotected, says the Oregon Journal.
Every few of the farmers in that ,e-
gion, "said Mr.. Cohn, "are willing to
dispose of their holdings at present.
None Of them is selling his wheat for
less than 81 cents a bushel The farm

Of course it is nothing but gam

rive at anythink like satisfactory
conclusion, but it is my opinion that
wheat Is going to remain at q good
price for some time to come. Very
little grain has been exported yet, and
it is a matter of only q short time
when it will be in demand for this pur-

PLENTY Of tonnage is available, and

HAVANA, Dec. 9-The Cabinet at a
meeting tonight ordered the estab-
lishment of a custOm-house at Nueva
Corona, the principal port Of the Isle
Of Pines. The Government thus COM
piled with all requirements Of the
United States residents of the Isle OF
Pines. with the exception of that relat-
ing to the American school. 1t is be-
lieved that the school already estab-
lished by the Americans on the island
will be given Government aid. 1t is
thought that these concessions will dis
pose of much Of the opposition at
Washington to the ratification Of the
reciprocity treaties.
Minister ZaldO said to-day that
United States Minister Squiers had all
along urged compliance with the rea-
sonable desires OF the American resi-

Government would willingly supply
such convenience as might be found
necessary for the requirements OF the

allied that the special conditions there

FOR OUR SHIPS

mittee Presents Figures

COMPETITION INCREASING
Recommendations Are Made
That Measures Of Protection
of American Ships Be Adopted

NEW YORK, Dec. s.-The Mari
time Associations committee appointed
to investigate ocean shipping reported
progress to the association to-day and
asked for an extension of time for its
investigation.
I'VE find" says the committee.
that despite the quadrupling of for
eign commerce, American tonnage un-
der register has declined from 1885,
S94 tons in 1851 to s73,2s5 last year.
and that while American vessels car
ried 72.1 per cent of our exports in
1861 they carried only Sc per cent
last year."
The committee also says: I'VE find
that American vessels engaging in our
ocean trade are to-day compelled to
meet more serious and more destruc-
tive competition than ever before,
largely through the vast subsidies and
bounties that foreign Governments are
now paying to their merchant ships.
We realize that the purposes for which
these subsidies and bounties are paid
to their merchant ships by foreign
Governments are chiefly military-in
order that there shall be available
auxiliary cruisers, scouts, transports,
colliers, supply ships and such other
vessels, with their trained and expert
fenced officers and men, as are essen
tial TO the uses of the Governments
in time of war. And we further real
ize that unprecedently low freight
rates resulting from these subsidies
and bounties received by foreign mer-
chant ships render successful and
profitable competition on the part of
the United States vessels. built in the
United States and Differed and
