LUMBER INDUSTRY
WRITTEN BY v. B. MACK, FOR The
COAST MAGAZINE.
X Concise Statement OF the Leading
Industry OF Aberdeen. Value of
Output of 1906, $0,OOO,OOO.
Splendid Opportunities for Sash,
Door and Woodworking Factories.

The principal industry OF the city of
Aber leen is the manufacture OF lumber
and kindred lines. The first saw mill
was built here in 1882 and for number
of years little was heard of Grays Ilarbor
"a the business grew slowly until the
Northern Pacific Railroad Co. opened up
the country by building in here and
granting terminal rates to all points
forged ahead with leaps and bounds,
until the Grays llarbOr county is noted
far and wide as producing more lumber
than any other district Of like extent in
the world.
Aberdeen is the manufacturing az well
as the commercial center Of the Grays
Harbor district and has the honor OF be-
in. the largest cargo lumber shipping
TT in the world. Figures are dry
reading and we will condense as much
as possible and yet give an idea OF the
magnitude of the trade.
During the year 1906 there was manu-
featured here on Grays larbor 5i5 ,000,.
600 feet Of lumber, 81 ,S57, 4S0 pieces of
lth and 1876 ,49S 600 OF shingles, equal, if
lath and shingles We're reduced to feet,
board measure, and added to the lumber,
$3.50 ,03i, valued at approximately
100000. OF II is S9,000.000, the big
ito m in the production was labor; since,
from the time the tree is attacked in the
woods until the lumber leaves for mar
kets, expensive laborers have had charge
of it; and it is sale to say that over two
thirds OF the total amount is paid out to
labor in the woods and mills, making by
far the largest payroll, in proportion to
the population, to be found anywhere in
the world. THIS is easily evidenced by
The general air OF prosperity that is no.

Toseph w. Davies.

Joseph W. Davies, formerly of Judson,
died last night at st. Joseph's hospital,
where he had been for some time re-
ceiving treatment. He was well known
resident of the county, forty eight years
of age, and a single man. His death will
be greatly regretted by all who knew
him.
Mr. Davies went to Nevada about a
year ago to join a brother who is en-
gagged in mining there, but was taken
sick and returned to Lake Crystal. His
death was due to a complication of di-
seases, but the immediate cause was
fatty degeneration of the heart.
Mr.. Davies was prominent in the af-
fairs of Judson, having served as town
clerk for nine years and as secretary
and manager of the Judson creamery for
five years. He was a member of the
Knights of Pythias lodge at Lake Crys-
tai, and was popular with all. He had
many pleasant acquaintance in Man
kato. He was almost giant in stature.
The remains will be taken to Lake
Crystal, where funeral services will be
held.

CHANGE MADE
Blue Print Shows Change in Route Of
Electric Road.

From Saturdays Daily.
Mayor Dartt has in his possession a
blue print containing the route of the
proposed electric line to be installed
this year by the Minneapolis, Rochester
& Dubuque Traction Company. The map
shows clearly the route that the line
will take and Owatonna is included as
one of the cities along the electric rail
way.
The company has evidently changed
its plans about running the stub ell
ectric line out of this city to Rochester
as the blue print shows that the div
ision or junction point for the electric
line will be at Hayfield, and that from
here the stub branch will run over to
Rochester. The main line continues on
north to Owatonna and from here
touches at Faribault but fails to in
clude Northfield or Pennington on it's
route. Instead it goes west of those
cities and into st. Paul and Minneapolis.
Enroute to Dubuque the line includes
most of the principal cities of Iowa.
From Dubuque the line is proposed to
run into Illinois making connections
with the electric line already in opera
ton out of Chicago. In this way the
electric road will be direct to Chicago

BIT SEVERAL CHILDREN
Vicious Dog 10 Dispatched by q Police
OFFICER.

From Tuesdays Dailv.
Officer RObb this morning shot a
black cur dog belonging to Louis Or
ando, after it had bitten several people.
Reports of its biting people were first
received Sunday, and Officer Robb want
ed to shoot the dog then, but Ferd. j.
Hoerr took the dog and refused to let
the officer have it, saying that it would
cost anybody $50 to shoot the dog. Yes
terday the dog bit several more people,
including Josesph H. Thro's little boy,
James Kelly's daughter and L. I.
Fields boy.
Owing to the fear that the dog may
have been afflicted with rabies, DR..
Helen Hughes has advised that the dogs
head be sent to the state chemist at
Minneapolis to have an examination
made, and this will probably be done.
Friends of the families will be anxious
until it is determined that the dog was
not afflicted with the terrible disease.
The police have received complaints
as to one or two other dogs, one belong
ing to Seaman, the restaurant proprie-
tor, and the other to a family whose
name could not be learned, on State
street.

q HUsK STANDING CORN
Machine That Will Husk Corn Stand.
ing in the Field.

From Mondays Daily.
A machine drawn by three horses,
that will husk standing corn at the
rate of ten acres day, has just been
perfected and patented by former Wis
consin man, G. L. Wachrow, now of Mel
lette, s. d. The plans were drafted in
a Milwaukee office and the first machine
was constructed there. Following it's
completion the machine was taken to a
field of corn, which had been left in the
outskirts of the Wisconsin metropolis,
and given thorough trial last week.
A machine that will husk standing corn
has been the despair of inventors for
thirty years. And the demand for one
will be as great as it was for self bind
ers. 1t is difficult to get enough men
to husk the corn out in the corn coun-
try. In South Dakota they pay ten
cents bushel for husking. A man can
only pick and husk about an acre and
half a day. This machine rolls the
ears off the stalks as they pass right
through the rolls. The ears are then
conveyed to the wagon. The machine
will work in the tallest field of corn.
The machine, if a success, will have an
important bearing on the corn crop, the
largest agricultural product of the
United States. 1t will not only in
crease the crop, but it will cheaper
prices, in addition to adding to the farm
ers' Observation-Disclosures Messenger.
