Aberdeen, Wash, let us give you
the impression of an eastern man,
who spent two weeks looking over
our city.
This gentleman had visited many
cities along the coast, looking for
the best place for investments, and
before leaving here he said:
81 believe I have found it. Aber-
deen appears to me to be the best
city on the Pacific coast for a man
to invest his money, either in real
estate or in manufacturing ente.-
prises.
'I'am forcibly impressed with
these facts:
"The appearance of the citizens
"The sobriety of the people.
"The lack of gray hair in evi-
dence.
"The young men holding import
ant positions.
"The great opening for paper
mills, owing to the unlimited pulp
wood at hand.
"The pavements of the streets
which, unlike those described in the
heavenly home, are paved with ex-
cellent plank, which, in this age Of
trusts, is almost as valuable as gold.
81 was also surprised when |
locked up the weather records and
found that you had more clear days
during the year than they had in
Atlanta Ga; Boston, Chicago, st.
Louis, st. Paul, Washington, D. c.,
or in New Haven, Conn. And with
sunny cities, such as Memphis,
Tenn; Charleston, S. c., and San
Diego, Cal, the latter only exceed
ins in thirty-eight days.
II understand your population IS
1900, but from the hustle and bus
tie it appeared to me to be at least
$4,000"
The verdict of this gentleman CO.
incdes with the verdict of every
man who has ever gone to the
trouble of looking over this field.
Aberdeen is today the best known
city of its size in the Northwest, AMI
there are most excellent reasons for
the prediction that within year
or two the city will be nationally
known. 1t will be the aim of this
article to present these reasons,
some of them unique, others shared
by other cities of this section, but
all factors which make for the ad-
vancement and development of the
community,-all features which in
sure the building of a great city at
the head of Grays Harbor
The harbOrs of the Pacific coast
are strikingly few, and the noble
land-locked bay which bears the
name Of that intrepid explorer. Cap
tain Gray, is destined to be great
commerce mart when our Oriental
trade attains sufficient impetus to
be governed only by the worlds
law of supply and demand With
the teeming millions of Asia for
market, is it not logical to assume
that more ships will plow the Pacific
than now traverse the Atlantic?
That the Importance of Grays Ilar-
Dor is appreciated by the United
States government is forcefully
shown by the appropriation OF
S777,O00 recently made by Congress
for its improvement this year. COS
vessels cleared from Grays Harbor
last year. The first three months OF
1907 recorded 1872 vessels, and at
this rate there will be an aggregate
of 76S vessels this current year.
A survey was also authorized to
determine the feasibility of canal
to connect Grays Harbor with Pu-
get Sound. Though the public has
been inclined to joke about this
project, it IS far from being ridicu-

The State Board of Agriculture Inns
ordered that n book descriptive or Nir-

$4,000 copies be distributed during the

Well done. This is virginias golden
opportunity. There will be thousands
of visitors here during the year and
many will come with view to pur-
chasing lands and settling In the State.
They should be provided with all tho
descriptive literature which they mag
need and there should be plenty Of

objectionable Negligence.

Information has reached The Times
Dispatch that an examination of the
pcll list shows that large number of
young business men OF this city have
failed to pay their poll tax, and there
by will lose the right to participate
in the coming primary. Apart from
the duty of citizenship, which should
impel every man to meet his obl!ga-
tons and to take his part in the gov
eminent OF the city, 1t is q matter of
profound Importance to each citizen to
know how his city is governed, and
if the government is incompetent or
worse, citizens who will not trouble
themselves to qualify and vote will
have no right to complain, but must
lay the blame at the door of their own
negligence
The Times-Dispatch knows how diff
cult it is to overcome the natural in
ertia of those who feel no present and
personal interest in the outcome of
elections, but the experience Of every
other city and community should be
enough to teach this city that no neg
ligenco is SO baleful and far-reaching
as that which promotes the growth OF
"a corrupt or careless administration
of political trusts. The young men OF
to-day are the old men OF tomorrow

city of Richmond, is going to have
a creditable building at the Jamestown
Exposition. In order to get the full
benefit of this building, it should be
in charge of an accomplished and
forceful man. It is the opportunity
of three centuries for Richmond, and
she must make the most of it. She
must attract visitors and be prepared
to take care OF them when they shall
have arrived. The agent on the ground
will be a power for good II the right
man can be found. The search for
him should not be confined to Rich

A Timely Message from Germany


Tho students OF the George Wash
ington University, OF Washington,
were recently favored with an instruc-
tive lecture on ~ Comparison Of the
Constitutions of Germany and the
United States" by Professor DR.. Otto
L. G. Hotzsch. of the Royal Academy
of Posen. Justice Harlan, Of the SUI
premc Court of the United states, pre-
sided and introduced the speaker. In
the course of his remarks the lecturer
said:
'',rhe Constitution rests in America
upon the foundation of an absolute
power Of the people, while In Gers
many tho single states have submitted
themselves to the supreme power OF
the empire, but arc in their organizn-
ton provided for by the imperial Con-
stitution."
Right glad we are that this state
mcnt of fact was made in Washington,
and right glad we are that Justice
Harlan heard It. 1t is to be regretted
however, that President Roosevelt was
not present.
