S. B. Hicks & Sons Co.

The S. b. Hicks e Sons Co., whose
main office is located at Seattle, with
branch house here in Aberdeen, is
one of the large and leading enter
prises of Chehalis county, and is
worthy of a special mention in this
industrial edition.
This house deals very extensively
in wire rope, iron, steel, betting and
pulleys and, in fact, they handle a
general line of heavy hardware. They
made a speciality of wire rope, and
keep in stock about 100000 feet at
all times. They also have a house
located at Portland, where they enjoy
large patronage from an extensive
territory.
Since S. b. Hicks e Sons Co. es-
tablished their branch house in Alb
erdeen. their business has increased
to such an extent that they will, in
the near future, build larger quarters
in order to carry stock equal to the
growing demand Ior lHelI Soou9'
They will also build a spur track to
their warehouse so that their goods
may be handled an dshipped with
promptness and the greatest economy.
This house has always enjoyed the
utmost confidence of the people
throughout this vicinity, and their
large patronage fully demonstrated
their popularity.
Mr.. L. G.. Isaacson, the local man
ager, who was formerly with the
Northwestern Lumber company at
Hoquiam, is young and enterprising
business man of much ability and
stands very high in both business and
social circles.

The C. E. Burrows Lumber Co.,
Aberdeen.

The magnitude of the forests of the
great Northwest and the high quality
of the timber have made the lumber
among the different branches of in
dustry in Aberdeen.
A plant that has kept pace with the
latest ideas in the manufacture of
lumber, one that ranks among the
leading enterprises of it's kind in Che

0. X. Logging Company.

In the publication of this industrial
edition we desire to make brief
mention of some of the firms and in
situations who have aided in the de-
velopment of this section of the coun-
try.
Among those that are worthy of
mention is that of the o. X. Logging
company, whose operations have been
of great value from a financial stand
point. 1t is not necessary for us to
go into details about their business,
but we will say, however, that the eff
forts of the company have been ap-
preciated throughout this section of
the country, and they have been a
source of revenue to many homes in
this vicinity. The o. X. Logging
company is composed of men well
versed in the timber business, who
are public spirited gentlemen and
command the highest respect from
The general public.

Aberdeen Lumber and Single Co.

Among the important lumber man
ufacturing interests of Chehalis coun-
ty, prominent position is justly
held by the Aberdeen Lumber and
Single company, whose plants are
located in South Aberdeen. The
company began their operations in
1900, and have from that time on
kept pace with the latest ideas of
mill construction and have enjoyed a
rapid and substantial growth and
have established a wide market for
their product.
Their lumber mill has an output
of 125, 900 feet per day, and is equip
ped throughout with the latest and
most improved machinery that is re-
quired to operate Il modern saw mill.
The shingle mill has capacity of
100000 shingles per day, and like
the saw mill is a model OF high-class
construction.
The valuable site on which these
industries are located is an IDEAL one,
and the arrangement of both plants
are such as to make possible the
greatest economy of time and labor.
Employment is given to about $50
men, while in active operation, maxi
ing the value of this concern of great
Importance to the business activity
of Chehalis county and the Grays

Anderson & Middleton Lumber Co.,
Aberdeen.

Located on the north bank of the
Chehals river, near the business por
ton of Aberdeen, stands the large
and modern mill of the Anderson and
Middleton Lumber company. Some
idea of the magnitude of their opera
tions may be gained, when we say
that the plant has an output of near
10,000,000 feet of lumber annually,
and that the company gives employ
ment to about 125 people in the va
rious branches.
The equipment of this mill COM
prises everything that is new and
modern in saw milling machinery,
and with ample water frontage, to-
gether with side tracks of the North
ern Pacific Railroad, their shipping
facilities are unsurpassed. Conssn-
ments are cut to order, and every
thing from bridge and mine timber
to matched flooring and ceiling is
supplied. This company enjoys an
excellent reputation for honorable
dealing with their trade, and the
large demand for their product
speaks volumes of praise for the high
character of their operations. The
plant is a model of high-class con-
struction and the city of Aberdeen is
proud to number it among her large
industries.

him every detail of the business. He
is we'll equipped for the successful
operation of the business and every

gentleman. He is honest in all of his
dealings, and is always found willing
and ready to do his full share in

Following out this adopted princi-

one that has been an important fac

Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1908-07-09

is that of the S. +. Slade Lumber
Company, whose plant ranks among
the largest of its kind in the Pacific
Northwest
The location of the plant is an
ideal one-at the junction of the
Wishkah and Chehalis rivers, af-
fording an extensive water front.
Side tracks of the Northern Pacific
railroad, also traverse the storage
yards, and every facility for the sue
cessful operation of a large industry
of this kind is here to be found. The
plant has an out put of 250,00 feet
of lumber every ten hours, and the
equipment comprises the latest and
most improved machinery known to
modern saw milling.
Employment is given to about 800
people in the various branches of the
business, all of whom are well paid
and work in perfect harmony with
the operators. This Industry has been
an important factor in the develop
ment and up-building of our city, and
has formed a most important link in
the chain of our manufacturing en-
terprises. The plant is under the
management of Mr.. w. b. Mack, a
gentleman of vast experience in the
lumber business and one who has the
best interest of Aberdeen at heart.

Many other improvements We're made
in the mill and along their dock,
which added to the popularity of the

In 1906 improvements We're made
to the amount of $4,000 and the ca

SILkS Mc8EE FOR TAFT.

Regardless of past affiliations. stu
dents Of affairs, delivers and thinkers,
are fast lining up for Judge Taft. A
recent example is that of Sllas McBee,
editor Of the Churchman. OF New York.
In an interview he says:
i am a North Carolinan by birth and
a lifelong Democrat. ! shall vote for
MIR. Taft because he has it in his heart
to bring my people Of the South back
into absolute union with the national
life and to their historic place as a con
trolling force in the nation, and to DO
which would immortalize him as
statesman.
u shall vote for him because ne more
nearly represents my ideals Of govern
ment, of social order and economic
policy that any living Democrat. or any
man before the people today, save alone
Theodore Roosevelt, who is the only Re
publican President I have ever voted
for. MIR. Taft has administered every
trust committed to him by the nation
with an eye single to the nations good
and for the highest interests Of the
people that impose the nation.

WELL THEY RETURN?

II William Jennings Bryan, still hold
ing fast to the ruinous dogma of free
silver, ima"ines that the patriotic sound
money Democrats who opposed his can
dldacy in 1896 and 1900 will stultify
themselves by supporting him this year,
he is doomed to an overwhelming dis
appointment. His studied silence on
the financial question will not deceive
the Independent members of his party
who revolted against the Bryan menace
of reputation and dishonor twelve wears
ago. His policy is quite as hateful to
them now as it was then. They re-
member that in nearly every one of his
speeches in 1896 he insulted and sneered
at them. AS an example, take the fol-
lowing from his speech in Memphis,
Tenn, on October of that year:
81 want to tell you what told others:
That if you think the gold standard is
absolutely necessary to the welfare of
this country, you make great mistake
if you vote for me, because, if | can
help it, the gold standard won't stay in
this country for one moment. "
Mr.. Bryan has always insisted that
there should not and could not be any
compromise between those who opposed
the gold standard and those who SUP.
ported it. He is on record in scores of
instances as denouncing its Democratic
supporters as men who want to use the
party organization for private gam and
their country for public plumber. He
has notified the Democrats leaving their
party because of his advocacy of free
silver to take their baggage with them
and not expect to come back" and he
has boasted that he does not know of a
set of men he would rather lose than
the gold Democrats.
Yet Mr.. Bryan, in spite of his intoler-
ant treatment of the sound money Dem
ocrats, appears to cherish the hope that
they will compromise with conscience
and vote for him this year. He forgets
that their revolt in 1896 was inspired by
devotion to a moral rather than poiti-
cal principle. They took the position
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1908-10-01

that questions affecting the national
honor and the national credit were not
legitimate subjects for partisan contro-
Versy, that no party can bind its mem
hers to support a policy which runs
counter TO their conscience. and that the
integrity Of party government implies
the right of the individual 90 rebel
against party mandate when his own
sense. OF duty requires him 20 DO SO.
There isn't a shred Of evidence to
show that Mr. Bryau's position on the
coinage question mas changed. There
is every reason TO believe that the atti-
tude Of the sound money Democrats re-
main absolutely unchanged. That the
t"ice-defoated advocate Of free silver,
reputation and di-honor should expect
the support thisyga Of the scif-respect-
ing Democrats who voted for his over
throw in 1896 and 1850, is simply an
other manifestation of his ridiculous
notion that they are either towards or
fools.
