ANOTHER RAILROAD.
Northern Pacific Will Build Water
Level Road From the Grain
Fields to Aberdeen.

Under the name of the Grays Har-
Dor & Columbia River Railroad, the
Hill interests will build railroad
down the north bank of the Column
bia river from Kalama and north to
South Bend and Aberdeen. This road
will be continuation of the Spo-
kane, Portland & Seattle railway and
will eventually extend to Tacoma and
Seattle. The present Northern Pa
cific line from Portland to the Pu-
get Sound cities is one of heavy
grades, and an entirely new route is
necessary if railway of modern con-
struction is to be secured Besides,
the present road, in prosperous times,
has all the traffic it can carry. Dou-
ble-tracking is impracticable and the
projected route will carry freight
from the Columbia river as well as
much of the transcOntinenta freight
that is now hauled across the Cas-
cade Mountains. A railroad of easy
grades that would carry this tonnage,
even though of longer mileage, would
be more economical for the Hill lines
than to haul the traffic of the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific
across the heavy grades of the present
lines crossing the Cascades. The
new line will tap the big timber and
shingle districts of the Lower Co.
lumbia river on the Washington
shore and will open up an entirely
new territory to the projected trans
portation line.-OregOnian.

WILL LEVEL BIG HILL.
JOHNSTON co. TO TEAR
DOWN DABNEY HILL

An important deal has been made
between r. II. Dabney, of Portland,
Ore, and the S. w. Johnston Trans
fer company of this city, by which the
is. w. Johnston company secures the
exclusive right for tearing down the
big hill, the nearest to the business
center of Aberdeen, and transporting
the valuable sand rock and dirt for
filling-in purposes to all parts of the
city, where filing is needed-the
sand rock for filling in streets and
alleys and the dirt for filing in lots.
The moulding sand is to be shipped
to Portland, Olympia, Tacoma, Seat
tie and Spokane, to be used in the
iron foundries. A great many car
loads of this valuable moulding sand
has already been shipped from here
and many others are to be shipped
in the near future.
The S. w. Johnston Transfer Co.
will spend considerable money fixing
up to fill orders on short notice for
filling in streets, alleys and lots.
There is no better material to be had
anywhere for filling in the streets
and alleys of Aberdeen than the
sand rock found on this property.

TRIED TO SAIL
MILDRED INTO HARBOR
Details of Schooner's Wreck-Cap.
tain Unfamiliar With Bar Tries
to Sail In.

The details of the wreck of the
schooner Mildred, which went on the
south jetty last Monday, have reach
ed this city and, as first reported,
the destruction of the vessel was due
to the effort of Captain Johannason
to bring his vessel into port without
the aid of tug.
Captain JOhannason had not visi-
ted Grays Harbor for more than
twenty years and, although he knew
jetty existed near the entrance, he
did not know it's exact location. He
arrived off the entrance Monday
morning and waited about for tug.
AS the afternoon wore on he saw that
he could not get into the harbor that
evening unless he sailed in, and made
the attempt which ended in the loss
of his vessel, as he struck the jetty
head on, staving in a portion of the
schooner's bow. The vessel then
grounded as the tide was ebbing, but
the waves began clearing her decks.
The lifesaving crew at Westport
saw the vessels peril and Immediate
ly dispatched the lifeboat from the
inner harbor to the rescue. The
/ transferring of the crew from the
stranded vessel to the lifeboat was
made in a small boat, and Captain
Jacobson in command of the lifebOat,
came nearly losing his boat and crew
| by being swept onto the rocks. A
huge wave carried the lifeboat close
! to the jetty and, realizing that the
craft and it's crew would likely be
| thrown on the rocks, the order was
given to "give way" and, as large
wave came, the lifeboat was swept
over the jetty when the balance of
the crew was taken off.
The cook came nearly being drown
ed by being swept into the sea, but
he was finally fished out with boat
hooks. The lifeboat then made a
run for the beach and landed it's load
and was taken back around the jetty
into the harbor.
The Mildred now lies against the
| jetty, on the south side, and at low
water the crew walk out to the craft
without wetting their feet. The past
few days the crew has been engaged
in stripping the vessel of everything
of value. The loss is about $4,000.

MAY BE A SANITARIUM.
Purchase of Half Interest in the Old
Book Ranch Creates Inquiry.

The sale by G. II. Thomas of half
interest in the Book ranch in West
Aberdeen to the Histogenetic Medi-
cine company has created considera-
bic interest and there is much spec
ulation as to the object of the COM
pany. The ranch was bought several
years ago for $4,000 and now the
new company pays $4,000 for a half
interest. Efforts to find out just
what "Histogenetic" means, as ap-
piled to the new corporation, failed
to illicit much information. DR..
Uric came the nearest to guess and
he concludes that some one is going
into the sanitarium business. 1t is
not at all improbable then that a san
itarium on large scale is to be the
business that will be carried on at
this well known old place.

VISITING G. A. R. POSTS
OF GRAYS HARBOR
W. H. Mock, Of Bellingham, Depart.
ment Commander Spends a Day
Here.

w. H. Mock, department command
er of the G. A. r. posts of Washing
ton, came to Grays Harbor Thursday
night on trip of inspection. He
visited Washington Post of Ho-
quiam Thursday night and came to
Aberdeen Friday. Being due in
Montesano Friday night he only had
Friday afternoon to give to Gen.
Crook Post of this city. Commander
Mock said that the membership of
the G. a. r. had fallen off by death
from 100000 in 1890, to about half
that number at the present time.
Strange to say in the department of
the state of Washington and Alaska
the membership had increased the
past year owing to emigration from
the Eastern states.

BODY BROUGHT HERE.
Remains Of William Gallop Brought
Down to Aberdeen for Burial in
Fern Hill.

j. M. Bowes and Will Tamblyn re-
turned from the upper Wishkah river
Friday night with the body of Will
liam Gallop, the recluse logger who
died at the logging camp of the Alb
erdeen Lumber & Shingle Co. The
body was brought down by direction
of Coroner Girard. The funeral took
place yesterday afternoon from Bowes
& Randolph's undertaking parlors,
interment in Fern Hill cemetery.
An unsuccessful effort was made to
locate the relatives of Gallop, or
Gallow as he was known in this coun-
try, although he is said to have a
sister living in Michigan, where he
was believed to have had some valu-
able property.

POSTMASTERS COMPLAIN.
Train Service Between Aberdeen
and Ocosta Twice Week Is Very
Unsatisfactory.

A complaint signed by the post
masters of Markham, Westport,
Western and Ocosta has wired to
Postmaster General Won L. Meyer
last week against the Northern Pa
cific railway company stating that
the company has disregarded it's con-
tract in carrying the United States
mail between those towns and the
harbor cities.
For seventeen years the people
have had daily mail service to the
towns complaining, but recently the
Northern Pacific, in order to curtail
expenses, took off the daily run to
Ocosta and now runs a train twice a
week. Over 1000 people are affected
by this service and ask the govern
ment to force the railroad to live up
to its contract.

Illogical And Absurd.

The Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union met in lis an
nua session at New Orleans YES
terday. The meeting is being
largel Y attended. and during its
session some matters of national
Importance will come up for
discussion.
In his opening address Presi-
dent Barrett characterized the
assertion this the Union was res
ponsible for the existence o f
night riders in the cotton states
as "illogical and absurd" He
SAID that this charge had been
made by some "meddlesome new
Spapers and bnsybodies," and
denounced it as unjust to accuse
members of the Union with the
depreciation of the night riders
He asserted that the Union wa S
IN existence to Gain its ends. but
did not need to 'naugurate and
invoke lnwless methods to accom-
ptlsh It's purpose.
Speaking for the Union, he said
1t had 10 sympathy for night rid
ers and w"uld take the initiative
in any section to rid the county
of them.
No intelligent, unprejudiced
man has ever believed that the
farmers of the country. many of
whom are among the best and
most law abiding of its citizens.

acts OF few misguided and ire
