i've IN the movement, has been seized
with avidity by the Montesano banks
the chief beneficiaries Of the present To-
cation-as peg upon which to hang
objections. That this has succeeded to
scme extent is only due to . lack of
knowledge OF the conditions on Grays
Harbor that led to the demand for bet
ter facilities for the transaction OF county
business.
No private schemers could have con-
solidated the sentiment in this section
for that removal, sentiment shared by
men of undoubted integrity who advo.
cate the change because the convenience
of the majority demands it. We sug-
gest to our Elma friend that he read the
following letter from Geo. H. Emerson
to the Washingtonian, and then ask
himself if he actually believes Mr.. En-.
erson is the dupe of few land boomers !:
"HoQUIAM, WAsH., Oct. IS, 1906.
"Our county missioners' estimate
for the next years requirements, EN-.
brace $25, 900 for the court house, so !
take it we must have new building or
its equivalent.
"If 80, there are no ties binding us to
any one location that are worth consid.
ering. We must renew our place Of bust.
ssess, and any business man uEGtr such
circumstances would build where most
accessible to his customers. No spot in
the county has any claim on the county
seat, the whole thing is the choice Of the
county as to where it would rather have
it's place of business.
''The way the county makes up its
mind on such subject, is by counting
the votes that express the minds Of in
diyiduals constituting the whole.
"All things else in this controversy
balance or are OF no consequence. There
is but simple little question for each
voter to answer, aud that is, does the
present or proposed site suit me best?'
The sites are equally good and can be
made equally beautiful, the cost OF con.
struction is the same, if anything in fav.
or of the new site with its bonus. The
proposed site will soon be in the middle
OF large city; the present site will al.
wavs be a nice little country village.
"We all like to 60 to the country, and
all like to 90 to the city, but We all dread
the small country town, where you can
neither camp and hunt, or be we'll
housed and amused. No business calls
US there; if we would buy or sell we 60
to the city.
cit seems to me no one can express
his best interest by his ballot except
that ballot reads, for removal The
only exception | would make would be
I in favor of the few who find employment
n the county offices and have their
homes near the present court house, but
as fire often proves good thing to city
or an individual, so in their case, their
first loss will often prove their great
good.
"Where is it cheapest in time and
money for you to attend to your cour1
house business?
"Where had you rather 60 for an idle
half week, to country town or a city
"Answer these by your ballot, ant
you will answer all the county seat ques
tion there is; everything else is chaff.

OCEAN PIER COMPANY
New Business Enterprise to be Start
ed in Aberdeen.

The Ocean Pier Co., with Fred G.
Furth OF the Vulcan Iron Works at its
head, is among the latest enterprises
started in this city.
A short time ago the Vulcan Iron
Works bought piece of property at the
foot of Il street, from the Grays Harbor
Tugboat Co., and that has been trans
ferred to the Ocean Pier Co. The prop
erty has $50 feet water front the cost be-
ing $50, 0,000'
The corporation has placed $33 900 al
Mr.. Furth's disposal, and he will pro-
ceed at once to erect two warehouses
each to be 60xl00 feet floor space. A
spur will be built to connect the ware.
houses with the Northern Pacific Rail
way, so that freight can be taken right
to the doors to save extra handling. Mr.
Furth will act as local manager Of the
concern.

That the best physician or attorney in
the county would make poor hand on
a log drive would not be considered
derogatory to his reputation in his profes.
sion. yet a man looking for a log driver
would not be apt to hunt up q doctor or
a lawyer. That this is true is 90 plain
as to occasion wonderment that the peo-
pie in selecting public officials pay so
little attention to the fituess OF the indi-
vidual for the place.
There is no more important function
in the whole scheme OF self government
than the law making power. Under our
system, the PEOPLE are supreme and
make their own laws. As it is incon-
venient for US all to attend, we send
representatives to VOICE OUR WILL, and
to effect this we select men, presumably
at least, to carry that will into effect.
Chehalis county is now about to make
this selection, and the object OF this pa.
per shall be to direct attention to the
best means of obtaining just representa-
tian-not for any party or faction but for
the county, and in saying this the HER.
AID insists that it is the duty OF every
citizen to align himself with the political
party whose doctrines he believes best
for the general good. But, at the same
time, calls attention to the difference of
BELONGING to party and being OWNED
by it, and becoming the ignorant chattel
of the scheming boss, who cares for
nothing but possible graft.
In this spirit we shall consider the
legislative nominees who are now before
the people, and shall endeavor to do 60
in a spirit of fairness to all concerned,
and with view only to the selection OF
the fittest for the places. For state sena-
tor we have choice between two worthy
gentlemen, neither Of whom, we believe,
would countenance derogatory word
against the other, and it is question
for the voter to decide-not what is best
for either of the candidates-but for the
best interests Of the state and county.

EDITOR HERALD:-
1t seems to be popular fad for vari.
GUS individuals to air their views in re.
gard to county affairs in the newspapers.
Now, the writer OF these lines has been
a resident OF Chehals county for more
than twenty.three years; he is on the
shady side Of fifty, and has been re-
publican all his life, and is now.
But, he believes in SQUARE DEAL all
around. It is admitted there are some
good arguments in favor OF removing the
county seat, but there are better ones
against it.
1t is we'll known that the Benn. Archer
Sherwood crowd or their predecessors
we're in control of the city Of Aberdeen
some years ago; that their work was go
Objectionable to the majority OF its citi-
zens that at the next election they were
turned down.
This same crowd had control OF the
last republican county convention, and
it is fair to presume that their methods
would be the same as in times past If
they are successful in electing the ticket
they put out, and, if that crowd has the
court house to build, the citizens OF the
county will not get fifty cents on the
dollar in results for the money expended.
We want new court house cad
enough, but We don'twant to have to pay
two prices for it. That this crowd are past
masters in the art of graft is evident and
we'll known. The action Of the men who
named this republican ticket was taken
with the view Of keeping their friends
and tools in Office, and, if successful.
would be in position through spending
the county's money to keep themselves
in Office for years to come.
While some OF the men on this repub.
lcan ticket are good men, as individuals,
they are in bad company, and man if
seldom regarded any better than the
company he keeps. In the judgment OF
"a great many republicans Of this county
some OF the candidates are mentally and
morally unfit to hold the office which
they seek.
Again, it is believed that the average
intelligence and integrity OF the candi-
dates on the democratic ticket is far su-
perior to that of the republican ticket.
There is rapidly growing sentiment
on the part Of great many republican
voters throughout the county to vote the
democr attic ticket straight, and against
the removal OF the court house, to OBJ
tain, if possible, the following results !:
It will show the dominant party that a
nomination is not equivalent to election ;
to make sure OF election clean, competent
men must be put up; men who are above
suspicion of any sort of graft, and there
are plenty OF them in both parties.
1t is the judgment OF the writer and a
great many other republicans that it
would be an unmixed blessing to the
county at large to have the present re-
publican county ticket 90 down to defeat,
go that future conventions would put up
clean, competent men.

crossing over from San Francisco be
gan to show signs of despair But in
the throngs packed in tugs and ferry
boats today there were marked the
pangs of hunger, and the hopelessness
that has grown since the subsistence of
the first excitement due to the earth
quake and confagration. Many of the
refugees were so weak when they were
landed that they fell in the streets.
The physical reaction has set in and
doctors fear that it will result in many
deaths. Three women died in one of
the churches today.
BERKELEY, Cal, April 19.-To-
night Berkeley is packed with refu-
gees who have been brought across the
bay to escape the horrors of the San
Francisco confiagration. The homeless
and hungry are fed at the station from
long benches provided by the citizens
relief committee, which includes repre-
sentatives of all the fraternal and re-
ligious organizations in town.
The women students and professors of
the State University are doing great
work for the sufferers, and tonight the
work of finding shelter is proceeding
satisfactorily. The big university gym
nasium has been turned into a lodging
house, where hundreds have been in
stalled. while other hundreds have been
provided with blankets in the open air
under the university oaks.
For the women and children, rooms in
private houses have been secured.

SHELTERED
Refugees in Thousands
Go Across the
Bay.

OAKLAND, Saturday, April 21.-
Fifty thousand persons are sheltered
here and the rush of refugees from San
Francisco still continues Churches.
barns, dancing halls, Kinks and hospitals
are thronged with the homeless and
private dwellings are filed with unfor-
Inmates. So great is the congestion
that there is no place for thousands of
furnishing men and women who are
crowding the bay.
Trains have carried hundreds to
Berkeley and other points There are
eight thousand refugees in Berkeley to-
night. A relief committee has raised
tents and has gathered large quantity
of provisions The relief committee in
this city has appealed for cots,
blankets, tents, canned foods, -four and
bakers.
One of the real difficulties of the cri-
sis is to bake bread and dozen huge
temporary ovens have been built in
one park. The authorities have for
hidden the demanding of extortionate
prices for food and several grocers
were arrested today for violating the
order
The railway companies have already
carried 100000 destitute to different
points and arrangements have been
made for the distribution of several
thousand more tonight and tomorrow.
Friends and relatives throughout the
country are advised by the telegraph
officials not to worry about delay in
the receipt of news from persons in
San Francisco. The telegraph offices
are more than twentyfour hours be
hind in messages
The scene here today was more pa
thetic than at any time since the earth
quake. For the first time the refugees

TELLS BY
THEIR SLEEP

Il can tell by my little
ones sleep when a cold is
coming on" said a mother
when speaking of the advance
symptoms,of colds in children.
/" They toss about, are rest
less, their breathing is heavy
and there are symptoms of
night sweats. The next morn
ing | start with SCOTS Emul-
sion. The chances are that
in a day or two they are all
over it. Their rest is again
peaceful and the breathing
normal"
Here's a suggestion for
all mothers. SCOTS Emul-
sion always has been almost
magical in its action when
used as the ounce of preven-
ton. Nothing seems to over
come child weakness quite so
effectively and quickly as
SCOTS Emulsion.
