A MISERABLE TRAIN SERVICE

For several years there has been
persistent and wellfounded cont
plant over the nature of the service
rendered by the Northern Pacific rail
road on it's Grays Harbor branch,
and for more than two Years past
the company responsible for the bad
service and the state railroad COM
mission, whose duty il is to protect
the public in precisely such cases,
have given repeated assurances that
the service would be improved and
the worst Of the conditions, ut least,
remedied - far none Of these prom
ises has been fept.
The Crays Harbor branch of the
Northern Pacific railroad is probably
the best paving piece o. branCh line
which the company owns Certainly
no other branch of eqUai size in its
system furnishes the volume of
through tonnage to the East, nor
carries an equal number of passeng-
ers per train, as does this branch.
Yet there is hardly any portion of
the world certainly no other por-
ton of the United States, which is
furnished a train service so utter
" inadequate to the volume Of bus
mess transacted as the Grays HarbOr
branch of the Northern Pacific rail-
road. The service by passenger trains
is miserable.s Not only is the traii.
schedule slow out of all reason, but
it is the rare thing when trains ever
keep anywhere near that scuedul".

of passengers bound to and FROM Sc
attic. The equipment is wretched,
the cars ovcrcrowded, and the SER
vice in every respect inadequate to
the needs of a great community, such
as is growing up on Grays Harbor.
Unless the Northern Pacific adopts
a swift and radical change in its
policy, it will build up Il public SEN

when the competing line enters the

JEWISH TABERNACLE.

A Herald reporter had the pleasure
of meeting last night several Jewish
gentlemen who were Just emerging
from conference they had been hold
ing at Nudelman's store in reference
to the organization of a Hebrew So
cicty on the iIarbor. In conversation
with these gentlemen it came out
that considerable buncOmbe had been
published lately in the newspapers,
touching on the prospective erection
of a 100000 Jewish tabernacle on
the Harbor. These gentlemen, con-
servative fnanciers as they are, pooh
poohed any such idea and would like
to get acquainted with the Baron
Munchhausen that sent out such
stuff. There is no movement of that
character on hand, and the Herald
reporter always alert to lay before
the public plain facts and nothing
else, was highly commended for his
good sense in failing to copy any OF
these Munchhausen stories that had
been going the rounds of the press.

all the time. She has had it for foun
years. Sometimes it would go away.

way to give her any relief was to per.

sleep by taking them. She would be up
all night and cough. SO in all she took
six boxes, and never was bothered any
more.
l will leave this for any one to in

lived in Chicago. All our neighbors

FATHER TINES JOKES

Time makes all things right. but
he likes his little joke as he moves
along. Ten years ago great war
WAS prosecuted in South Africa by
the British Empire against the Boer
republic at the instance OF British
residents. because the Boer repuD-
lie placed excessive obstacles in the
way of one of the inalienable rights
of mantle right to a voice in the
government that governs him. To-
day this same old joker Time mas
loosely instigated the British or
south Africa to organize federation
which gives no voice in the govern
ment by which they are governed 10
any body but persons OF European
descent" What the British fought
for in South Africa ten years ago
the only principle they professed to
fight for-tbey chuck aside when 1t
protects the other fellow. Bernard
Shaw was not far wrong when h.
accused the British nation (and
there are others, let us confess) OF
a tendency to keep principles in
stock only for selfish uses.

The CITY COUNCIL
MUNICIPAL Fathers Have BUSY
SESSION..
Every Member of the Civ Council
Earned His per Diem Last Night.
Things Were Doing from Start to
Finish. Much important Business
Transacted.

The city council session last even
ness of grave import to the city was
on the carpet. Every member was in
his seat, and the first business was
to avoid the lease with the Stewart
estate, affecting the auxiliary water
supply the Charley Creek supply hav-
ing rendered this unnecessary.
The leading business of the even
ing was the franchise of the Union
Pacific railway bridge. The matter
was gone over thoroughly, Attorney
j. b. Bridges representing the com
pany. After lengthy discussion,
the ordinance was so amended as to
provide for siX-foot sidewalk on
either side of the bridge, to be free
for foot travel, and the company to
assume all damage risks that may
arise. In this shape the ordinance

chance to study the situation.
Then the question of the purchase
Of the West bridge, across the Che
nails river came up. 1t appeared
that Mr.. West would sell the bridge
for $4,000, but that he was not
on the anxious seat in regard to a
sale. If the city wanted the struc-
ture, they could have it at that figure.
The growth of South Aberdeen is
recognized by the council, and that
the toll bridge is a relic of the past
ages or should be-and something
must be done to connect the north
and south sides of the city. Beyond
discussing the matter nothing was
done at this meeting.

The federal census is one of those
things that had better be left undOne
than not done properly. 1t is ana
tional stock taking and what the ma
ton wants is the facts SO that it may
know as accurately as possible how
it stands on those matters concern
ing which the government seeks in
formation. 1t is business affair just
as truly as is the stock taking OF
private firm and it needs to be done
in the same business-like way.
Therefore the presidents order pro-
hbting the mixing of the census
with politics is most welcome. 1t
is welcome because if obeyed it will
mean the most accurate census ever
obtained. and it is also welcome be-
cause it lifts the whole question out
of politics wit hall its corruption
and inaccurate features into the do
main of business.

that no wooden sidewalks be permit
ted was agreed to.
Ordinances were passed providing
for the improvement of Second and
f streets.
The ordinance that provided for
dyking part of the city was repealed.
Councilman O'EIare introduced an
ordinance, which passed, dividing the
city into three building districts,
which seemed to appeal to the cOun
ell, and it was promptly passed.
An ordinance was passed redistrict-
ing the city into voting precincts.
The ordinance simply mOdifies the
boundaries of such wards as exceeded
the go voting limit, fails to remedy
the outrageous gerraymander of two
years ago. For instance, it leaves
South Aberdeen as a voting precinct
of the First ward, without Il solitary
chance of IA councilman from that
important district. The committee
in charge of this redistricting were,
evidently looking more closely after
their personal political fences than q
square deal to their constituents. a
citizen of South Aberdeen said to the

journed, Putting us in with East

A report recently issued by the
Department of Commerce and Labor
brings the information that during
the past 120 years the United States
has exported twelve billion dollats
worth of manufactures. Eight BIZ
lions. or two-thirds, have been dur
ing the past twenty; and six billions
or one-half, during the past eleven
years The total domestic exports
for the 1870 years amounted in value
to almost fOrty-seven billion dollars.
More than one-third of the latter to-
