A View of Aberdeen and Grays Har'
Dor from the Seattle Post In
telligencer.

1t is estimated that there will be
spent in Aberdeen this year in pub
lie and private Improvements fully
s3,OO0,O0O. The improvements now
under way and in contemplation for
the immediate future are far ahead
of the record of any preceding year.
Street improvements alone will be In
excess of $750.000 in cost. and the
railroads will spend fully 100000
in terminals. Other public improve
ments are new court house. new
high school and further extensions
of the water system. The private
expenditures include large sums for
building plants for new industrial
establishments. 1t is the case with
the latter form of improvements that
the value to the city comes not so
much from the original expenditure.
as from the steady employment which
the new industries will give to those
who will become permanent residents
of the city.
II the present labor troubles are
settled speedily, as they should IN
the interests of the men, of their em-
ployers and of the public at large,
Aberdeen promises to see great ex-
pansion and development during the
present year. The large amount OF
public improvements contemplated
and under way shows that the people
of Aberdeen are proud of their city
and cofident of a good future for it.
There is not the slightest ques-
ton that there will be in time
large city on Grays Harbor. The
three cities of Aberdeen, Hoquiam
and Cosmopolis are growing togeth-
er and will be one municipality after
a while. At present they make sub
stantial city, which has one strong
advantage. When all Of the manu-
featuring plants are in operation the
Grays Harbor cities have a larger pay
roll, in proportion to population. then
any other cites in the state. This is
a substantial basis for predictions
that there will be a great city there,
considering that, in addition to Its
manufacturing plants, Aberdeen has
a fine country behind it and ship
ping interest Of great magnitude

We admit that there is a good deal
OF excuse for the irony of the The
New York Tribune which defines
democrat as "a man who votes
for Bryan but prefers to see Taft
elected; who declares himself for
tariff revenue only, but supports
protection in Congress, and one who
helps elect a republican to the Unit
ed States senate" But tariff incon-
sistency is by no means confined to
the democratic side Of the senate;
there are traces Of it among the re-
publicans.

MILLS STAY CLOSED.
Owing to Market Conditions. They
Will Not Resume Operations
Until After July 4.

1t now appears probable that Alb
erdeen mills, which closed last week
as the result of the strike of the
lumber handlers for a general wage
increase, will remain idle until at
least July 4. State Labor Commission
err c. F. Hubbard, who reached the
city Sunday evening. spent day and
a half in an unsuccessful attempt to
arrange a settlement between the mill
owners and their former employees. He
advised the strikers to recede from
all their demands with the exception
Of the first one, that the yard men re-
ceive an increase from $1.75 to 81
per day, leaving the matter of gen.
eral increase until conditions in the
lumber market should improve suf-
ficently to warrant it.
Both the mill owners and the strik.
ers held meetings Monday night at
which the proposition was considered.
At the close of the meeting of the
owners it was stated that while no
definite action had been taken on
the matter it is probable the mills
will remain closed until the lumber
market was advanced as the reason
for adopting this decision, the own
ers expressing themselves as rather
pleased that conditions have made 1t
possible for them to close. The strik-
ers took no action at their meeting.

There are great differences in the
rates OF wages in the same occupa-
ton in this country, which should
afford to reasonable minds evidence
that the tariff has little to do with
the earnings of labor. Another fact
is that rates Of wages are lower In
the protected industries, so-called,
than in the mechanical crafts that
owe nothing to the tariff.

EASY TO DETECT BAD MONEY
Hold Bill Up to the Light and Exam
inc the Silk Threads in
the Paper.

Despite the utmost vigilance of our
efficient secret service men, the mak-
ing counterfeit money in this country
has not been wholly suppressed. SpU
rious coins and paper tokens occasion
ally get into circulation and some of
these are so well done as almost to
defy detection by experts.
Among the latest samples of the
counteTfeiters' art is a $40 bill. one of
the eleverest limitations on record. A
speciment Of this issue was received
and paid out by several banks, being
regarded by all who handled it as
genuine. In time it reached the sub
treasury at New York and there its
spuTiousness at once became known.
On first inspection the bill appears
to be a real product of the treasury
department, but when held up to the
light the little particles OF silk, which
in a genuine bill are curved and
twisted in the paper, are seen TO be
straight and hard. A magnifying

True to Memory of Beau Nash.

True to Memory of Beau Nash.
The famous Beau Nash was at one
time extremely fond of a beautiful
girl called Juliana PapjOy, sometimes
known as the Bishopstrow belle. She
used to ride about the streets of Bath
on fine gray horse carrying a whip
with many thongs, a fad which gained
for her the title of Lady Betty Bosom.
Juliana was very kind-hearted and
during the last five years of the
beau's life she nuTsed him devOtedIy.
After his death she vowed that she
would never again sleep in a bed and
took up her abode in a large hollow
tree, where she lived for many years,
earning a scanty livelihood by sell
ing herb medicines and fetching and
carrying At last Juliana became very
i'll and, knowing she could not posi-
bly, recover, she felt an intense long
ing to die in her old cottage home at
BishOpstTOw. More dead than alive
she set out on this last journey, and
managed to reach the house where
she was born in time to die there.

METHOD OF INDUCING~SLEEP
SeIf-Suggestion Plays a Great Part
Worry Is the Main Thing
to Be Avoided.

The next point to bear in mind is
that self-suggestion plays a great part
in the production of sleep, writes Dr..
s. McComb in Harper's Bazaar. OTdi-
narily we do not sleep by accident or
haphazard. We resolve to Eeep. We
go through a variety of actions all
suggestive of a change from our nor
NAL waking condition. We undress,
we place ourselves in a comfortable
position, we close our eyes, We be-
lieVe and expect that We are going to
sleep, and the result is-sleep. One
of the great pTeventatiVes of sleep is
the fear of not sleeping. Once this
fear is broken down, we sleep. The
insomnia worries about his insomnia,
and this very worry deepens the mis-
chief. Hence the sufferer should sug-
gest 10 himself again and again: If
sleep, well; if don't sleep l will at
least gain rest by keeping my mind
calm and my body relaxed" In a
word, our chances of getting sleep in
crease If We assume the external
physical attitude which corresponds
to sleep, if we relax every muscle and
let it stay relaxed, if we breathe light
ly and regularly, if we call up the
imaginations of a sleeping person, and
talk and think sleep to ourselves, re-
peating silently and in a quiet dreamy
fashion such a formula as this:
There is no reason why | should not
sleep. My mind is at peace. Sleep is
coming. l am getting sleepy. l ana
about to sleep. l am asleep"

Having grown, in ten years, from
q feeble organization of fve members

than sixty regularly enrolled members
and with at least 500 people Of the, city
directly interested in Its workings. the
Christian Science congregation of
Montgomery has purchased its own
home.
The deal was closed last week,
whereby the Christian scientists be-
come possessors of the property at Is
High Street, between Perry and Court.

not occupy the dwelling for year yet,
not until October /, inasmuch as the
members have renewed the rental on
the present quarters at t6 IL South
Perry Street. and a lease has been
grantd to others on its newly acquired
home. Time will be desired to con-
slider whether the newly bought dwell

will be replaced by another structure.
