Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1910-08-15

J. f. Thornton, manager of the
Grays HarbOr Railway and Light COM
pany, has agreed to give the use OF
the pavilion at Electric park free for
the purpose of arranging exhibits and
also will permit the use of the park
for exhibits of live stock and poui-
try. According to the opinion Of
many business men who have been
interviewed the project can be made
a success this year if the Chamber Of
Commerce will back it, and it will
be starter for something better in
the future, which may result in eS-
tablishing an exposition here whica
will be credit to the southwestern
portion of the state.
One of the principal tasks ahead nf
the fair promoters at this late date
is that of advertising the fair and
creating interest in it. To this end
it is proposed that C. c. Quackenbush,
who managed the Fourth OF July car
nival. take hold of the proposition,
and it is understood that he has agreed
to do so on per centage basis. IT
the scheme is taken up it is hoped
that the executive committee of the
Chamber of Commerce will set busy
and lend encouragement at once.

FOR A COUNTY FAIR
G. P. HALFERTY HAS A PLAN To
PROMOTE ANNUAL EXHIBIT
Would Provide for Display for Week
During September; Wants Affair
to Become an Annual Function.
The Chamber of Commerce Should
Back 1t.

That the people sigh for "the good,
old fashioned days" and the things
of their youth, is the idea of Guy p.
Rafferty, who is out with a suggeS-
ton that the old fashioned county
fair idea be revived and four days
fair be held on the Harbor during
the last week of September.
Mr. Halferty's plan is the forma-
tion of a county fair association and
the holding of annual fairs on the
Harbor. He thinks the idea will prove
popular with business men and he Of
fers to contribute 800 in cash toward
the undertaking. He thinks that busi-
ness men and others would be will
ing to exhibit their wares and he be-
lieved that no attempt should be made
to pay premiums or offer prizes, thus
making inroads on the funds of the
association, at least until the fair as
sociation shall be placed on its feet
financially. He thinks that a small
fee, say 10 cents, might be charged
for admission to the building where
the exhibits are arranged, and the
sum thus raised could be used to pay
the expenses of the fair and also TO
form a nucleus for future exhibits.

mitted by the St Paul office through
Henry Blakely, Western traffic mail
ager. the cities interested will have
until about October 1 to present their
protest against the proposed increase.
Increase from 20 to 200 Per Cent.
The transportation bureau of the
Chamber of Commerce is authority
for the statement that the proposed
increase in rates amount to from 20
to 200 per cent.
1t is asserted by the transporta-
ton bureau of the Chamber that in
June, 1909, rate from Seattle to
Grays HarbOr of 10 cents per hun
dred weight was put into effect 20
enable Seattle shippers to compete
with the steamship rate from San
Francisco of $1.50 ton. The 10-cent
rate turned the tide of trade towards
Seattle because of the greater expe-
dition of the movement of freight
from here.
Proposed Increase in Rates.
The increased rates proposed for
first class freight is 80 cents; sec
ond class % cents; third class 23
cents; fourth and fifth class 90 cents
These advances are characterized
by w. A. Mears, manager of the
Chambers transportation bureau as
"a direct blow to the trade of Seat
tle."
Such arbitrary action" he says
twill have many serious effects, and
among others it will undoubtedly
cause the passage of an amendment
to the state railroad commission law,
giving that commission power, on
their own initiative, or at the re-
quest of shipper to suspend any
advances in rates until the commits
sion has had an opportunity to care

NEW RATES BENEFIT HARBOR
Freight Schedules Effective Tomor
row Will Boom Jobbing
Business.

That the new freight trariffs effec-
tive tomorrow between Tacoma and
Sound points and Grays Harbor,
which constitute an increase in the
prevailing commodity rates, will be
beneficial to Grays Harbor dealers, is
the declaration of A. Rupert, manager
of the West & Slade company, whole
sale grocers, of Aberdeen.
According to Mr.. Rupert. the new
rates were made effective about five
years ago, mainly for the benefit Of
Tacoma, Seattle and Portland JOB
bers, although it was stated at the
time by the railroads that the rate
was necessary to meet water compe-
tition between San Francisco and
Grays Harbor. But the rate operated
against Grays Harbor jobbers and
made it easy for the large institu-
tions to compete with them and, as
a result drove some of them out Of
business. 1t is stated that the first
intmation that the rates would have
to be changed came from the Oregon
e. Washington and the Chicago, Mil
waukee & Puget Sound railways,
which gave notice that they would
not stand for the commodity rate of
10 cents per 100 pounds between Port
land and Sound points and Grays
Harbor. Attention was first called 10
the proposed increase in rates by w.
A. Mears. manager of the transporta-
tion bureau of the Seattle Chamber
of Commerce at the recent meeting
of the Southwestern Washington De-
velopment association at Hoquiam,
who declared that the unwarranted ac-
ton of the railroads would result IN
legal proceedings against them before
the railroad commission.
That the rates may not go into eff
feet for several weeks is evidenced
by the following from yesterdays
Post-Intelligencer:
Recent advances in distributivo
rates from Seattle, Tacoma and Port
land to the principal Grays Harbor
points, which We're to go into effect
August 16, have been suspended by
the Northern Pacific until the cities
affected shall be given a hearing, ac-
c0rding to advices received by the
Seattle Chamber Of Commerce yester-
day.
