ABERDEEN Wins TWO
Black Cats Shut Out the
SiWaSlles in the First
Two Games of
the Series at
Seattle.

SEATTLE, August 27.-Aberdeen won
from Seattle today by a score of 2 to O.,
in game that had l 400 bugs on the
border of nervous prostration. Both
teams were nervous along at tie first OF
the battle, but settled down and fought
like two bulldogs, despite the fact that
Seattle got the worst OF it on a decision
that offered a chance for rally.
Aberdeen won on merit. The team
outbatted the Siwashes and were steady
in the field at numerous critical points.
StaIkells pitched magnificent game,
full of strategy. On the other hand,
while Rush was hit frequently, no scores
would have been charged against him
had not Shaffer fumbed Streib's bunt in
the first inning, which put Van Buren, in
a position to score on Householder's out
in deep center.
a low throw by Stanley on the double
steal gave Aberdeen her second and last
run.
The fielding was fast and sensational.
Howeli's throw to third from deep right
retiring Van Buren,, was grand piece of
work. Dudley handled the ball beauti-
fully.
The meager dispatch from Seattle last
n ght shows another shut out for Aber
deem Yesterday, the score being Aberdee n
8, Seattle 0, so that the assurance is that
the fans again got their moneys worth.
These two games sends the Black Cats
IA few notches further up in the pennart
record. The following is the standing of
the league:

ALEXANDER FISH PACKING COM.
PANY IN SOUTH ABERDEEN.
Inc Company is Now Sailing Fish for
European Market, the First Ship
ment Going to Copenhagen, HOI.
land. u New and Promising In
duSfry Inauguraied.

The beginning of what some day
will be large and prosperous in
dustry has been started at South
Aberdeen by the Alexander Fish
Packing Company
1t is more than a year ago since
Mr.. Alexander started what, to MANY
in Aberdeen, was a puzzle. 1t was
not cannery, or shingle mill or
an ice plant, and yet might be either
and there was considerable specula-
tion as to what use the building
would be put to. Now all is simpli-
fed by the fact that the plant is be-
ing used for packing fish, exclusive
ly for the European trade.
AS this business is not just for a
short period, Mr.. Alexander erecting
his building so as to accommodate
itself not only to the taking care of
the present trade, but to meet the
demands of varied and growing
business, in the fish industry. Plat
forms for repairing and mending
nets, slips for boats, sheds for clean
ing and sailing fish, cooling rooms
in which to store the fish while it is
being picked, and an ice plant to
manufacture the necessary coldness
for the storage rooms, and ice for
the refrigerator cars in which the
fish will be shipped.
The process of preparing the fish
for the European market is quite an
interesting one. The fish are pick
led in strong brine, in casks that
will hold each 1000 pounds; these
casks are placed in the cooling room,
the bung removed and funnel
placed in the cask, filled with brine,
the 1lsn then being what is known as
brine sealed, the temperature is then
kept at 80 degrees to keep the fish
from souring while the process of
picking is going on. When picked,
the fish is shipped to Europe, where
it is unpacked and smoked, after
which it brings a fancy price in the
open market.
Just as soon as business will war
rant it, Mr.. Alexander will smoke
the fish here and at the same time
go into other branches of the fish
and by-product business, but at pres
ent the demand is such that he has
not time to operate in any other
branch of the fish industry.
In the ordinary course of events
there is no reason why this industry
should not add to the future pros
perity of Aberdeen. 1t will mean
more boat building, net manufacture
ing and Il home port for a large fleet
OF fishing smacks, as all classes and
sizes of fish will be needed to supply
the demands of this factory. In
deed, Mr.. Alexander could use a far
larger quantity, even now, than the
fishermen can give him.
