the divorce line from all portions of the United States and Canada

vises the persons seeking information in this regard to write to the
Secretary of the Nevada Commercial League.
Anumber of persons receiving the booklet wrote to the Nevada
Commercial League for information in regard to the city, and in this
way the matter was brought to the attention of the League.

center angered the League, and they have severely criticised the firm

Bradstreet After State Bank Commission

A San Francisco dispatch says it is reported that Bradstreet &
90. recently sent an agent of the company to Carson City to inter
view the State Banking Commission to secure information relative
to the financial standing of Nevada banks, and that such information
was refused. The members of the Commission who were asked for
the information refused on the grounds that the knowledge in pos
session OF the Commission was not public property and that the
agent wanted to know too much.
The bradstreet Company will now take steps to proceed against
the Commission by asking the Supreme Court for a writ of mandate
to compel the Banking Commission to give the company the desired
information.

TALK OF EXTENSIONS.
Councilman Wiley Interested in a
Street Car Line Over Hill.

Councilman Wiley Is much inter-
ested in prospective extension of
the Grays HarbOr Electric line from
East Aberdeen over Think of Me hill
to the cemetery. That there is need
of a track to the cemetery is admit
ted, but the North Aberdeen bridge
is not desirable for that kind of traf-
fc. A steel bridge must be built at
that point before a street car track
can be placed. Councilman Wiley has
had an intimatiOn from Manager
Crary that if a street is put over
Think of Me hill and improved and
the grade fixed at per cent, that an
extension of the car track from East
Aberdeen to the cemetery is a possi-
bility. Councilman Wiley also be-
lieves that from the excavation of a
street over the hill sufficient dirt
may be obtained to fill Heron street
at much reduced cost from that
which would be necessary If the
street is filled by the American
Dredging company. The matter may
be taken up at meeting of the city
council in the near future.

"How Baxter Butted in"

Farce comedy is always reliShed by
playgoers when given that zest' that
is possible with a good plot and ca
pable company of players. Both
these requisites are combined in
"How Baxter Butted In," which is
one of the most enjoyable plays in
the repertoire of the Girton company,
which is to appear at the Grand
theater in "How Baxter Butted In, )"
next Thursday night. THY play
made a decided hit when given at the
Savoy theater in Tacoma-so much
so that the Girton company was re-
quested to repeat the performance
and gave it as their farewell to a
large and delighted Tacoma audience
,last Sunday, matinee and night.
Baxter" the hero of the play, is a
ubiquitous individual who always
butts in just at the right time.
There is a plot to marry off village
girl to the villain, which is thwarted
by Baxter" who butts in" just
when it looks as though villainy is
about to triumph over right. The
leads in this splendid farce comedy
are carried by Whit Brandon and
Miss Ether Tucker. A. R. Brooks, a
comedian Of rare talent, fairly revels
in the fun. William Marion is the
villain, and this clever player will
make a hit with any appreciative
audience. Miss Iva Shepard is the
ingenue. and Miss Marian Dunn does
character parts. George Stanley does
utility roles. The Girton company is
recognized as one of the strongest on
the Pacific coast.

TAKEN UNDER AMUSEMENT.
Case of Wilson Bros. Against the
Slade Mill Company.

The injunction suit of Wilson Bros.
against the Slade Mill company to
prevent the Slade company from US
ing water from a creek in East Aber-
deem, along which the Wilson Bros.
own land and which they have con-
trolled for twenty years, was argued
before Judge Linn at Montesano
Monday and was taken under ad-
visement Wilson Bros. have used
the water from this creek for mill
purposes, but recently the Slade COM
pany acquired rights from the Wey-
erhaeuser company, which they al
lege gives them the privilege of the
water also. Whatever way the case
is decided by Judge Linn it will go
to the supreme court for final adju-
dicatiOn.

LONGSHOREMEN SATISFIED.
No Trouble Between Them and the
New Stevedoring Company.

Agent William GOhl, of the sailors
union, said today that there will be
no trouble between the new stevedor-
ing company and the longshoremen'
union that was anticipated. The
longshoremen union members hav-
ing learned that there will be no cut
in wages and that the company is
here for legitimate business and with
shoremen, everything is likely to be
satisfactory. The Rothschild COM
pany deals with large number of
longshoremen on the Pacific coast
and heretofore has always been fair
in their consideration of the rights
of others. This will be pleasing news
be connected with both sides in fu-
ture business.
A rousing meeting of the long
shoremen was held Tuesday night at
which NJ. r. Sherwood and other mill
owners and the local representatives
of the Rothschild company were pres
ent. There were several speeches on
both sides and a disposition shown
by Manager Jones to do the square
thing. The longshoremen finally, by
a vote of 81 to 81 decided to stand
with the Rothschild company so long
as present promises are carried out.

REAL ESTATE FRIGHTENING.
Dealer Says There Is Decided Move
ment for the Better.

F. e. Jones and other real estate
the real estate market, which has
been comparatively dull for some
time. There is considerable inquiry
for residence property, though on
account of the recent panic buyers
expect lower prices, but owners are
holding out for even shade higher
values and consider Aberdeen prop
erty a good investment to hold on to.
The past week A. l.. Davenport
sold his fine residence on West First
street to c. w. Hutton and Mr.. Da
venport has had plans drawn for a
house to cost about $4,000, which he
will build almost directly across from
the one he sold.
There is considerable activity in
building in all parts of the city, es-
pecially along First and Second
streets, on which thoroughfares more
substantial and pretty houses have
been built the past few years than in
any other part of town.
There is quite building boom in
North Aberdeen, where several
houses are going up, including a
handsome one for a new conner to Alb
erdeen, for which plans were drawn
by Architect Reid. 1t will cost $3,-
900 and will be built on the hill
along Olympic street.
Samuel Benn has not decided
whether he will build his proposed
block on the lot on Heron street, from
which e. B. Benn's house has been
removed, or upon his lot at the rear
of the Masonic building at the SOUTH
east corner of Wishkah and l streets.
Mr.. Benn thinks he ought to do
something to improve Wishkah street
property as Heron street is doing
very we'll at the present.

COMMERCIAL BODIES MEET
Will Ask Commissioners to Appro.
pirate for County Exhibit.

The several commercial bodies of
the county were represented Monday
night at meeting called for the pur-
pose of devising some scheme where
by the commissioners could be induc-
ed to appropriate money for the pur-
pose OF making an exhibit at the A.
Y.-P exposition at Seattle next year.
Mr.. Burnett was present and explain
ed the conditions, and also called at
tention to the law which provides for
the levying of tax of one half mill
on the assessed valuation for that
purpose. Messrs. Adams and Moore
were present for the Hoquiam Cham
ber of Commerce. Ruben Fleet, sec
retary of the Montesano Chamber of
Commerce, represented that body,
while Messrs. Patterson, Beimfohr
and Burnett represented Aberdeen. A
representative from Elma was expect
ed, but for some reason did not come.
The sentiment of the meeting, and
consequently of the several CONNER
cial bodies represented, was unani-
nous for the levying of the tax, and
meeting was held Monday after
noon.
There cannot be the slightest rea-
son why this appropriation should
not be made, and there is every rea-
son why it should be made. This
section of the state desires to be ad-
vertised, and there is certainly no
reason why such an opportunity as
the exposition should be passed up.
The commissioners will, no doubt,
make the appropriation when assured
that the people want it.

Sharply at 1 o'clock Wednesday
the steamers Newburg. Chehalis and
Coronado sailed from Burrows dock
with a throng of happy sight-seers on
board. They sailed out over the bar
at $3.50, waited until the first ship,
the Connecticut, passed and then sent
up a shout which could be heard in
Westport many miles away. The fleet
was in constant communication with
the wireless station at Westport and
once they used the wireless tele-
phone. The crowd that went out
will have something to remember all
their lives, for it was one Of the finest
pageants ever assembled on the Pa
