than bags of gold;" for once a
thorough business training is en-
graved upon the mind of a man it can
never be lost or squandered.
An institution of learning that
merits the highest words of praise,
one that has scattered it's seeds of
greatness throughout this section, is
that of the Grays HarbOr Business
College, which is located in the Kauf-
man block at Aberdeen. The course
of study embraces all branches of
misunderstanding. shorthand,
penmanship, typewriting and in fact
every thing required for a thorough

banking house or counting room.
In point of equipment the school
is modern in every respect, the rooms
being well lighted, ventilated and
having large seating capacity The
terms of the school are very reason
able and so arranged that they are
easily met, while a spirit of good fell
lowship is always encouraged and re-
tanned among the entire student
body.
This college has been under the
management of Mr.. +. W. Beimfohr
since November, 1906, since which
time it has scaled the walls of sue
cess and established a wide reputa-
ton for the excellent manner in
which it is conducted. Prof. Beim-
phor takes personal management of
the school and is assisted by COM
petent and experienced instructors.
The Grays Harbor Business College
may well be classed among the lead
ing educational institutions of the
great northwest and is a source of
much local pride with the citizens of
this community.

Mr.. A. w. Barley needs no in
PRODUCTION to the people of Aberdeen
and this vicinity but, however, a
write-up of the different business
houses of the city, would hardly be
complete if his establishment was
not given a favorable mention. The
character of the store, the way in
which it is conducted, the quality of
goods handled, together with the
popularity of Mr.. Barkley, combine
to give his store a prominent place
among the mercantile establishments
of Chehalis county.
He is a dealer in clothing and
gents furnishings and carries a stock
of the best quality and the latest
styles. His store is located at 203
South G. street in we'll arranged
and equipped building for this line
of business. Mr. Barley has al
ways been an extensive advertiser,
which together with producing the
goods" after they are advertised is
due much of his success and popular
ity.
Mr.. Barley has mingled with the

Aberdeen for eight years and he can
justly claim that he has made sue
cess in his line. His work has al
ways been up-tO-date and owing to his
painstaking and fair dealings with
all he enjoys the patronage of people
from all parts of The harbor. Mr..
Gylfe finds much pleasure in his
business and he says it is great
satisfaction to please his patrons
with the best pictures | ever had

gets.
His work is found in nearly every
home in this city and is thus prob
ably the best advertised business man
on the HarbOr. He uses a patented
invention of his own for photograph
ing children which accounts largely
for his success with the little ones.

National Lumber and Box Co.

In the prolific use of printers ink
generation it is very often the case
that exaggeratiOn of more or less eX-
tended character is at times resorted
to by writers where if they would
only stop to reason they would at
once see that the facts would answer
their purpose far better.
Using this logic as our standard, we
will say that facts alone are needed
when writing about the National
Lumber and Box Company, whose
large plants are located at Hoquiam.
In giving brief mention of this in
dustry, it is not our intention to set
forth any historical events, but rath-
er to briefly state the facts and
figures, showing the large business
they are doing and the benefit de-
rived from this institution.
Taken as whole this plant is the
largest wood working establishment
VI liic IdClIC Co.tol. He uully "a
pacity of their saw mill is 100000
feet. Their large and modern dry
kilns have a capacity of 100000 feet,
and their lumber department is
thoroughly equipped for any trade
by rail or water.
The veneer department is man.
moth industry within itself, and is
operated by the most improved ma
chinery known to the manufacture
of these goods; 100000 berry boxes
are manufactured daily, besides
car load of fruit crates and other We
neer products. Employment is given
to 500 people who work in perfect
harmony with the management.
A better idea of the magnitude of
their operations may be gained when
we say that the first five months of
this year. ending May 81, they cut
40,000,000 feet of lumber of which
100000 feet was shipped by cargo
and 100000 feet disposed of by
rail AMI local sales.
The facilities of this company for
shipping their manufactured products
are uneXcelled. Located, as they are
on Grays Harbor. at the mouth of the
HOquiam river, sixteen miles from the
Pacific ocean, steam and sailing YES
sells may, at their own spacious
wharves, be given quick dispatch to
any part of the world. The business
methods of the company are char
acterized by fair and square dealing,
and nothing is left undone which will
add to the popularity of their plant,
or the accommodation of their trade.
Mr.. A. l.. Paine. who IS treasurer and
general manager. and Mr.. A. F. Pet
ersOn. assistant manager, are both
courteous and obliging gentlemen and
under their able directions the Ma
tiOnal Lumber and Box company will
continue to merit their we'll earned
reputation.

Ninemire Packing Company.

An industry, with which the old
and young inhabitants of Chehalis
county can point with pride; one that
stands for advancement, develop
ment and progress of the Grays Har
Dor country, is that of the Ninemire
Packing company, whose plant is To-
Gated about midway between Aber-
deem and Hoquiam, and will some
day, no doubt be the important link
which will connect these two grow
ing and metropolitan cities. 1t will
be the hub, around which will re-
volv the activity of business life of
this vicinity. This being the case,
then it is but natural that we should
feel deep interest as well as much
local pride in this most worthy en-
terprise.
Taking the plant as 1t stands to-
day, we are proud of it, both from the
standpoint of equipment and it's
wholesome production, TO say nothing
of the excellent management, under
whose hands it is being directed
along the path of prosperity. Mod
ern and progressive in every way, is
this industry, and the excellent
equipment of the plant affords them
unsurpassed facilities for large Ca
pacity

construction in every way and being
equipped with a lard refinery of the
latest make, up-to-date sausage ma
chinery, together with every other
facility for the successful operation
of the business, the Ninemire Pack
ing company certainly merits the
highest words of praise.
In referring to the purity and
quality of their productions, we will
say that it is along these lines that
has enabled this concern to establish
for themselves reputation that they
are more than proud of, and one that
they fully merit in every respect.
Prime Quality" is their motto, and
under the most favorable conditions
for securing healthy stock, the pub
lie may rest assured that this motto
will be carried out to the letter.
Besides being wholesale butchers
in beef, pork and mutton, the Nine
mire Packing company own and OPP
crate retail markets both in Aberdeen
and Hoquiam, and the excellent pat
ronage enjoyed at each of their mar
praise for the character of their oper-
ations.
Space will not allow us to go into
details regarding their retail mar
kets, nor will it permit the describ-
ing of their plant in thorough man
ner, but however, the brief pen pic
ture that we have drawn should es-
tablish, in the minds of the readers
of this article, the Importance of the
Ninemre Packing company.
The gentlemen who are behind this
industry are local citizens and men
of business ability and they will con-
tinue the high character of their op-
eratiOns until they give to Grays
Harbor name as a packing center,
second only to Chicago The plant is
under the management and supervis- |
ion of Mr.. j. M. Neal, who is familiar
mess, and is one of the most promi-
nent men in Chehalis county.

Washington. May Is. - Democratic
leaders in Washington have been can
wasting the situation in the various
state delegations with respect to the
possible candidacy of %,hn Mitchell,
the labor leader, for a place on the
Democratic presidential ticket this
year. Mr.. Bryan looks very kindly on
the suggestion that Mitchell be nomi-
mated for vice president in the event
that Bryan should head the ticket.
Some of the friends of Mitchell
have been sounding the members Of
congress from Illinois on the Demo
cratic side as to the availability OF
Mitchell for governor of Illinois. He
spent much time in Indiana in con
nection with his official duties as pres
ident of the United Mine Workers OF
America His headquarters have been
at Indianapolis, but he has retained
his legal residence in Illinois. The
Democratic leaders as a rule prefer
to see Mitchell nominated for vice
president rather than for governor OF
Illinois. They desire to avail them
selves of his popularity among the
workingmen.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 1S.-The Ale.
sheny National bank, whose former
cashier, William Montgomery, is in
iail. specifically charged with the mis-
appropriation of $594,00O, has been
closed by the comptroller and its Al
fairs will be liquidated.
This step followed long confer
ence Sunday of the officers OF the
bank, Representatives OF the United
States government and a number OF
leading inanciers of the city. 1t is SAID
still larger discrepancies in the FUNDS
have been discovered.
Until Sunday evening it had been
expected by Examiner William L.
Folds, who discovered the alleged
peculations and made the charges
against Montgomery, and by the Off
ceys and directors of the bank, that
the institution would weather tie
storm and be able to continue busl-
ness. To this end a number OF strong
financial institutions and prominent
capitalists of the city offered assist
ance and provided $25O,000 cash, while
the directors provided like amount
to meet the immediate needs or pro-
vide for possible emergencies. At the
same time a complete reorganization
was decided upon and a new cashier
and other officers were practically
agreed upon. A hitch occurred in these
plans, and all of Sunday was spent In
conferences, attended by Examiner
Folds, representing the treasury de-
partment, and the banks directors and
financiers who had proffered aid. After
q careful review Of the situation sus
pension of the bank was decided upon
az the only logical course.
The suspension of the bank. it Is
believed. will have practically no Ell
feet upon commercial or financial in
stitutions of the city. 1t has been
largely discounted by the events OF
the past week, and besides the private
and commercial deposits of the bank
are very small, amounting to not over
$500, 900. The bank as city deposi-
tory carries about $1,500,00O OF the
city's funds, and as an active state
depository over 100000 of state funds.
It Is possible that the city may ex-
perience some inconvenience in hav-
ing the funds tied up for time, but
It IL understood that both the state
and city are protected against actual
loss by bonds of surety companies.
