The county dads meet today at Monte
sano,a land will let several contracts ,one Of
which is the contract for county print.
ing. The HERALD has declined to bid
for this work since it was the lowest bid
der IN 1901 was refused the contract in
favor OF higher bidder, and was told 10
60 hence by the court when a remedy
was applied for.
The office part of the Zelasko build.
ing was entirely finished last week. the
closing touches being the skyl.ghts over
the Railways. There is no finer Office
building now to be found as large as
this south OF Tacoma, and the fitting of
this floor has cost Count Zelasko about
1000, above the original cost of the
building. which is 76 $50 feet.
There is quite an agitation in Oakville
for the incorporation of the town, the
opposition to which, while well meaning,
is likely mistaken. Oakville is a place
of more Importance today than was Ell.
ma when the latter place was incorpor.
ated, and the most ardent of the Oppose
ton to the incorporation of that town
admitted their mistake within a very
few years.
When the substantial building of Abb
erdeen began-tlat is to say, after the
fires-small knockers were heard on
every hand remarking how unfortunate
Aberdeen was in not having building
material on hand. Those same chaps
are to be found on the corner every
day exclaiming: "Look at those brick
and stone buildings grow, despite the
weather." Moral stop knot king and
begin to do something.
Cept. Chas. Erickson, of the steamer
Centralia, which arrived in port yestel.
day afternoon, lies at the Aberdeen
General hospital wi h broken jaw and
Il number OF severe bruises. Capt.
Erickson stepped off the gang plank
at one OF the West 4 Slade Co. g wharv, Q
in the evening, and might have drowned
but for the prompt action of the mate,
who pulled him out of tire Wishkah
river. Capt. Erickson was taken to the
hospital, where lie is setting along
nicely.
A quiet little wedding took place
Thursday night in the pa,lors OF the
Stultz apartment house, 36 Wishkah
street, when Miss Ethel Gartin. the &C
complished young musician Of this city,
and Mr.. William Meyer of Salem. Orc.
gon, were Joined in the holy bonds Of
matrinohy by Rev. e. r. Prichard, pas.
tor of the Presbyterian church. Only
the BRIDES mother and few immedi-
ate friends were present on this joyful
occasion. The HERALD extends con.
,ratulalions to the happy young couple,
who will make Aberdeen their home.
Swan, the five. year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. o. G. Lille, who are well.known
residents of this city, was nearly killed
Friday afternoon while playing on Heron
street. The boy caught on a heavy
truck, and his screams was the first the
driver knew he was on the wagon. The
team was instantly stopped, and the
child taken to the Aberdeen General
hospital, where it was found his jaw and
collar bone were broken. At first it was
thought the lad had been run over by
the heavy truck. which was loaded with
more than two tons OF cement, but, the
injuries rather indicate that, that while
attempting to catch ride, the young
ster was caught between the revolving
wheel and the side of the truck. Had il
been otherwise, death must have been
instantaneous; as it is he is lying at the
hospital with quite chance for life at.
ter his terrible experience.
