the excessive confusion and Contradic-

proof amounting to a demonstration
OF the fictitious and excessive nature
of the previous advance was agreed
to without dispute. There has been
general admission of this fact, how
ever, for weeks past, and also general
agreements to the responsibility of
groups of powerful capitalists for the
advance. The sensational collapse
which prices have undergone has not
altered the conviction as TO the source
of the operations which advanced
thCm previously, but the motives
which prompt the abandonment of the
previous position offer a subject for
the most divergent opinions Nothing
indicates urgent necessity for liquida-
tion with surplus reserves of the
banks still above $50, 000, 600 in spite
of the inroads made upon them and
with call loans easily ~prOcurable at
one per cent or slightly above. This
strengthens a conviction that the
leaders of the recent speculation must
have been i"ntcrchanged with supplies
OF credits which would have protected
them from pressure of lenders which
would precipitate any such urgent
selling on the market as is now seen.

In a big measure the city of Ho-
quiam owes it's prosperity to it's COM
mercial club, an organization COM
posed of live and progressive business
men. 1t is through this organization
that the location of many of Ho-
quiam's large industries have been
secured. There is nothing that saw
ors of public benefit that has not
been investigated by this organiza-
ton, and to this body of men the city
today really owes much of its indus
trial life.
The Hoquiam Commercial club was
organized about eleven years ago. 1t
has for it's object to induce factories
to locate here, to support industries,
foster friendship among business men,
keep the trade of the city for the
city, and in fact do every thing pos
sible to advance the interests of the
municipality. 1t is non-partisan, and
not-sectarian and it denies any in
tention to interfere with any one or
any thing save and except in support
of industry or the correction of an
evil
The club maintains it's own set
of officers and club rooms, which are
fitted up with every convenience for
the pleasure of the members, en-
bracing smoking and reading rooms,
pool and billiard tables, and in fact
they are provided with every facility
that goes to make social life pleas
ant. The club has membership of
about one hundred, composed of the
leading and most public spirited
business men of the city. The
paramount issue with every member
seems to be "Hoquiam first, last and
all of the time"
The club is divided into commit
tees composed of the leading members
whose duty it is each in it's own

TIE CITY OF HOQU|AM
Brief Resume of the Men and Manufactures That
Go to Build Up City.

nish and feed the power that drives
the nations and nourishes them. They
would see large factories and mills,
where thousands of men are employ
ed, which speaks of untold energy,
strength, progress, development and
ambition.
Hoquiam seems to have arrived at
point when her citizens have begun
to realize the natural advantages
here offered, and with this realization
has come spirit of enterprise and a
desire to up-build the city and COM
munity to it's proper place among the
cities of the Northwest.
The timber tributary to Hoquiam
is larger than any other section of
the state of Washington, and Ho-
quiam has the honor of having the
largest logging camp in the state,
whose output is considerably over
one hundred million feet per year.
The largest bodies of fir, cedar,
spruce and hemlock in the western
part of Chehalis, Jefferson and Clal-
lam counties are tributary by rail to
Hoquiam and there is no other harbor
whereby such lumber can be shipped
by water.
The logging camps in the vicinity
Of Hoquiam produce annually about
three hundred millions feet, and give
employment to several thousand men,
and will for many years to come. AZ
ter all the timber is cut off and the
valleys are cultivated, we have still
immense bodies of timber in the Oily
pic reserve forests, more accessible to
this point than any other.
In the matter of public utilities,
HOquiam is extremely fortunate, and
in this respect ranks with any city
of the west of the same population.
1t has first-class and thoroughly
modern electric light and street rail-
way system: gas service and a we'll
equipped telephone system, together

life.
Many of the first settlers in Ho-
quiam, move among us daily, as a
presence to remind us that the WON
derful progress humanity and civili-
cation have made in this Great
Northwest" has all been accomplish
ed during one lifetime.
Strange, too, are the written i'm
pressions held by the great men of
fifty years ago, concerning our COR
ner in the Union, and we cannot lis
ten to them too often to be made to
realize what it all means-this city
of beauty, commerce and influence,
springing as it has, from the depths
of nothingness and devastation.
Senator White of Delaware, in
1903, regarding the Louisiana Pur-
chase, said at will be the greatest
curse that ever befell us. Our citi-
zens will be removed to the immense
distances of two or three thousand
miles from the capital of the Union,
where they will scarcely feel the ray
of the general government, their af-
fections will become alienated; they
will gradually view us as strangers. :"
While as late as 1858, North Amer
lean newspaper, says: ''The people
of the United States have reached
their inland western frontier and the
banks of the Missouri river are the
shores at the termination of vast
ocean desert over one thousand miles
in breadth, which 1t is proposed to
travel, if at all, with caravans of
! camels and which interpose final
barrier to the establishment of large
communities. And it was in the
midst of such hopeless wilderness
as this that the cornerstones were
laid for one of the most progressive,
social and intellectual cities of it's
size in the west.

day, and view the smoking, steaming

Situated on the banks of the river
of which it derives it's name, and
nesting in an amphitheater of shell
tering hills, with the broad Pacific
at it's feet, sits Hoquiam, a growing
and prosperous city of 1000 con-
tented people.
If one would properly picture the
earliest days of Hoquiam, he must go
back to 1860, at which time Mr..
James A. Karr and Edward Campbell,
together with their families, were the
only inhabitants, where now stands
this progressive and metropolitan
city. Five years later the postoffice
was established, and John r. James
took up the land on which the orig
inal townsite is located.
1t was during this period that the
seeds of large and wonderful civil
ization were being carried to the
"Great Northwest" and the time in
which was displayed the bravery,
courage, mastery and power of the
American citizen, which alone have
made it possible for him to attain
the heights of success and progress of
the present day.
Very primitive, indeed, must have
been the appearance of our city site
at that time. Where our broad streets
now cross each other at right angles,
was then only the rough, unkempt
grass, scarcely even trodden by the
foot of the white man. Where our
numerous factories and modern bus
mess houses now stand was a rough
trading post from which Indian
faces peered at the immigrant pass
er-by, and where furs and blankets
were exchanged. This was the condi-
ton, not only of our own immediate
vicinity, but the whole surrounding
country, and the infant city must
needs attract her helpers from hum
dreds of miles, from the ease and ele-
gance of more densely populated cir
cles, to the wild hazards of western
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1908-07-09

ter supply. The fire department of
Hoquiam is unsurpassed by any town
of its size in the country.
The large lumber and shingle mills
and woodworking establishments of
Hoquiam are the foundations upon
which the city's future greatness
shall be built. Statistics are dull and
it is not our intention to harrass our
readers with the columns of figures
that could be printed, proving beyond
a chance of contradiction that the
many claims for Hoquiam are just.
A few figures and more consise state
ments of facts will suffice.
Chief among the manufacturing
concerns of Hoquiam may be men
toned the North Western Lumber
Company, who give employment to
$50 people. The National Lumber
and Box Company who employ be-
tween 500 and 900 people, and whose
pay roll for 1907, amounted to $24O,-
|65S.17. The Hoquiam Lumber and
Single Company employ some 400
men, and operate the largest single
mill in the world. The Grays Harbor
Lumber Company employs 100 men
and do a large cargo business.
In addition to these industries, Ho-
quiam has the largest iron and steel
works in Southwestern Washington,
a large packing plant, a sash and
door factory and numerous other in
dustres, employing hundreds of men.
The Hoquiam public schools are
well equipped to care for the rapidly
increasing number asking admittance
thereto. Twelve grades are maintain
ed, four primary, four grammar and
four high school. Six departments
are maintained in the high school
with a specialist at the head of each
department. The enrolment in the
entire school is 1.05Q, one hundred of
these being in the high school. There
are four buildings having a total of
thirty-five rooms. These are so stu
ated as to give school facilities to
the whole town.
Chief among the public buildings
that denote the character of the in
habitants of city are the edifices
erected for the worship of God. In
this respect Hoquiam takes high rank
among the new towns of the Pacific
slope. From the first some manner
of Christian service was held and now
Christians of nearly every name can
find places of assembly. The Presby-
terians, Disciples of Christ, Baptists
English and Swedish speaking),
have erected pretty edifces: Roman
Catholic and Episcopal churches may
also be found. Not only the buildings
but the services rendered therein are
a credit to the city, while the widen
ing activities are in line with the
modern conception of the wide reach
of religion in human life. The clergy
are a body of men who would be a
credit to any town and are as one
with the laity in promoting peace and
unity within the boundaries of what
is destined to be one of the great
cities of Washington and largely be-
cause of the character of its churches
Few, indeed, are the cities of it's
size where greater harmony prevails
or where the prospects for the future
are brighter. Truly. the Hoquiam
spirit worketh wonders and never
sleeps.
