BECOMING DESPERATE.

Our evening contemporary is becoming
recklesslv desperate. All attempts tc
sell newsless newspaper through bribe:
of boxes of candy, photographs and free
theater tickets seems to have failed. and
as last resort the following appeal is
made to the union men:
"Union men should remember that
The Bulletin employs more union labor
than any other two printing establish
ments on the harbor and lie the only
paper which holds to strict union rules
and principles throughout.
Such statement as this fully justifies
the belief in the desperation OF our es-
teemed contemporary, the untruth OF
the first claim being known to every
union printer on Grays Harbor and is
only amusing.
The second is different. 1t accuses all

"Rat" offices, which if true places the
unfair ban upon every employe and
places the Typographical union in very
ridiculous light.
Speaking for itself, the HERALD office
has we'll established reputation for do
ing what it agrees to, and since the for.
nation of the union here it has been
operated strictly under the terms OF the
agreement then signed. 1t is no com.
pliment to the intelligence Of union men
to think they can be cajoled by such rot.
II it would not be considered presump.
toue, we would suggest that our contem'
poray try giving the news for a change.

effect. The boycotting OF American
goods in China, however, by the educat-
ed classes has already gone verv far.
Many of our people think of China as
land OF ignorant coolies who are so in
ferior to ourselves AZ to rise scarcely 10
the plane of human beings. The fact Is
that China contains q greater number OF
educated and cultivated people than any
other country in the world. Their cui-
ture is not like ours, but it is based upon
long study of literature, ethics, and
philosophy, and it has been transmitted
tn ough many generations. The Chinese
have not we'll learned how to act togeth'

dared to treat them recklessly and un.
fairly. -From The Progress OF the

A. J. WEST BRIDGE
will be Open for Travel Next Week
A Pine Structure.


What people talked'.of asia dream a
few years ago has materialized in the
shape of good, substantial bridge across
the Chehalis river, connecting both
parts OF Aberdeen. This has been
brought about solely through the enter
prise of A. J. West, who can also say
that he built the first saw mill in Aber-
deem, and now after twenty one years
of constant activity, has not only just
closed his connections with the largest
mill plant in the city, but is about to
embark in larger scheme still by build
ing mill at Junction City, just outside
the city limits:on the East side.
The new bridge, which will be open
tor public travel in about a week, is $50
feet long. The south wing is 260 feet in
length, the north wing 1lS feet and the
swing BOG feet, the three pats being
constructed OF steel, the balance, which
includes the approaches on both sides,
being OF wood.
The swing is handled by an electric
motor, and the end set screws will also
be handled by electricity. The opening
and closing of the bridge being done in a
minute. The bridge, where the electric
cars and teams travel, is 20 feet 8 inches
in width, and the walks on each side for
foot passengers, are each five feet wide.
The construction OF this bridge begins
a new era in the prosperity of the South
side of the city, and is Of great conven-
;orco 70 thiS side

HERON STREET BRIDGE.
Closed and Condemned by the City
Council While New Bridge is Built.

The city council last night passed a
resolution cond4 mining the Heron street
bridge, which upon examination was
found to be beyond repair, and will meet
this evening as committee OF the whole
to consider mays and means to build a
new bridge.
Meanwhile slip is being built at the
foot Of Wishkah street to permit teams
to cross on a scow ferry. This may ans.
wer for teams, but the greatest travel
across the river is foot passengers, and
there appears no good reason why they
should tie subjected to the annoying de.
lays OF ferry. The bridge should be
swung. the ends closed up, except a
three-foot gateway and bicycle passengers
and teams prohibited while i. is unsafe.
The unanimous desire OF residents of
East Aberdeen-for whose benefit the
bridge is presumed to be maintained-is
for new bridge at Wishkah street, but
it appears that some Heron street own.
ers have 80 intimidated the council by
threats Of costly litigation as to cause
them to hesitate about changing the loca-
ton at this time, the fact that q bridge
must be had as quickly as possible being
used as lever to force the new bridp g
on the old location. Even if it must be
built on Heron street, it is suggested that
it might be built on scows and slid into
place when finished, thus permitting the
use of the old bridge for foot travel
while it is building.

OWN MEDICINE DISTASTEFUL

The Evening Bulletin, like most papers
that indulge in thoughtless abuse OF such
AZ happen to fall under their displeasure
il remarkably thin.skinned when it,
victims come back in similar style. and
betrays the usual distaste for its own
medicine. On June 80, the Bulletin
printed scurrilous article rejecting on
the commercial travellers who have oc'
casion TO visit Aberdeen merchants, and,
when one of the injured fraternity comes
back through the coluA ms OF the HERALD
our evening contemporary, instead Of
apologizing as decency would require,
wakes wroth, and terms its own style OF
language as 'slush dipped from journal
ist,c sewers" and undertakes to betittle
this paper for it's audacity in giving pub
lictity to the drummer's defense in the
following item:
ut seems that the HERALD fills its
columns with slu7h dipped from journal
istic sewers when it has not got the
Commoner to clip from. The HERALD
seems to be willing to print most any
thing it doesn't have to pay for, or per-
haps it's editor was go busy prosecuting
and prosecuting for dollar and half
that he did not pay attention to the copy
in his last edition."
The attempted slur upon the HERALD
unworthy OF notice, the success OF the
HERALD being conclusive proof that the
matter contained in it's columns is salts
factory to the largest list of subscribers
possessed by any paper in Chehalis
county.
The insinuation that its editor has
been engaged in the persecution" OF any
body, TO, dollar and half or any other
sum is different, and in plain, common,
everyday Anglo Saxon language is
simply lie. And wilfuly 90, for the rea-
son that the Bulletin knew that instead
of "persecuting' anybody, the wiiter
was performing public service in pro-
scouting one Of the smoothest swindlers
that has come down the Aberdeen pike
in years. A confidence operator that has
negotiated worthless checks, beat hotel
bills, borrowed money from all he came
in contact with who would loan it, and
secured money under false pretenses, as
was proved to the satisfaction of the
court upon examination. These facts
were we'll known to the Bulletin, yet
this alleged newspaper makes no men,
tion of the case whatever in it's news (?)
columns. Whether this silence was the
result of compassion for the "persecuted"
swindler, or simply another instance of
its failure to give the news deponent
saith not.

CHINESE EXCLUSION.

Apropos of the question OF Chinese
labor on the lsthmus, it is worth while
to note the great revival OF the discus
sion OF the exclusion OF the Chinese from
this country. A situation existed which
had come to be so intolerable to the
educated Chinese that they had begun
to find a way very effectively to call our
attention to the barbaity to which we
have been subjecting them. The exclu-
sion of Chinese laborers is one thing,
and the visiting OF indignities upon mer-
chants, scholars, students, officials, and
well-to do personages who seek to come
here for one purpose or another,-those
purposes usually being for our own
honor and protit,-is a very different
thing. Yet our immigration and port
officials have, asa rule. so construed the
laws as to subject Oriental personages,
with all their dignity..and old.world cul.
ture to the sort OF treatment that be.
longed in the worst period before the war
to the administrationsof the fugitive-slave
laws. We have paused at nothing ex-
cept the branding of these Chinese
gentlemen with red-hot irons. Happily,
President Roosevelt had ordered this
thing stopped with peremportiness and
vigor that will have a good deal Of

Colfax O-13, Alexandra OF.

The two games of base ball played
I'm Alexandria last Saturday and Sum-
day by the Colfax and Alexandria
teams resulted in the forfeiture Of the
game to Alexandria. while
the game ON Sunday was a complete
walkoyer for COlfax. With her usual
avidfty in hOrseracing. or anything
else, Alexandria attempted to help
along her weak ball team by giving
unfair decisions against our boys.
which caused them to walk out Of
the field after ~ innings had been
played and forfeit the game. In the
first game the score was tied. and
4. in the seventh inning. In the ninth
inning it was still a tie, and the tenth
inning Colfax put a man over the
rubber in her half of the inning, max
ing the score 5 to 4 for COlfax. Alex
andria went to the bat and two
struck out, then landed on our pitch
er for a hit, putting a man on first
base. The next man up knocked a
hot one to Mcknight at short, fore
ing the man from first to second.
Mcknight fumbled but threw the ball
to second In ample time to put the
runner out by several feet, making
three out. but the Alexandria umpire
couldn't see it and called him safe
| The decision was SO unfair that the
| Colfax team refused to finish the
game and forfeited to Alexandria al
9to0. Had this decision been the
only unfair one 1t might have beer
overlooked. but Colfax had received
the short end of the umpire's decis
ions from the start and this wa
more than they could stand.
The game on Sunday Is hardl.

played rings around the Alexandra
team. The Town Talk states 1t TIL
