THE COURSE OF TRADE

Under. this title the New York
Sun prints the following editorial:
"The official tabulation of exports
from the United States for. the first
nine months of the current fiscal
year in comparison with exports for
the corresponding term a year ago
shows increases of S38, ZOO, 900 in
sales to Canada SIS, 100000 in sales
to Argentina, 100000 in sales to
Cuba and $5,50O.0OO in sales to
Mexico.
e''Sales to China show a decrease
of $4,000, 900, and sales to Japan a
decrease of $4,6OO,OOO.
"The gain in sales to Canada far
exceeds the total to China and Jap
an. The shipments to China and
Japan combined show a value of
$27,176,000. Shipments to Argen-
tina show avalue of $30,560, 900;
to Cuba, $4,000, 900; to Mexico,
$43,45O, 900, and to Canada, $751;
560,00O.
1t will pay to contemplate these
figures. 1t is not necessary to be
able to see through a grindstone in
order to perceive their significance"
The closing paragraph is apropos;
and still we do not see how the Sun
wants us to take it. We can under
stand the increase in exports to Can
ada from the fact that perhaps
100000 Americans have gone there
since the beginning of the year; and
then our trade with Canada is in a
very healthy state.
But the second paragraph is the
one we would like to have the Sun
contemplate and give its opinion of.
"Sales to China show a decrease of
S2,000,000, and sales to Japan a
decrease of So, 100000
Our belief is that most of what
has been sent to both China and Jap
an has been machinery and some
other articles that China and Japan
as yet cannot produce. There ought
to have been an increase instead of
decrease, and there would have
been except that our legislation
has practically closed that export
trade, and our president and our
congress and the press of the east
that speaks for the gold lords have
none Of them the courage to point
OUT the mistake and call for a
remedy. OF ..| H..
We suspect this will be true until
China begins to import into this
country her manufactured iron and
steel and wooden and cotton goods,
and we are not sure that even that
will arouse the eastern people to
the danger they are in from that
source, because the chances are those
same money lords are working now
with all their might to get control
of this trade in China. If they do

that as a purely commercial PROPOSE

city was decidedly preferable to a
comparatively small affair at each

THE NATIONS BIRTHDAY
Committees for Fourth Ct July Cele.

Five Day Carnival

The general and sub committees of
the Fourth of July celebration are
hard at work arranging for the great
est celebration of the Nations Birth
day ever held on Grays Harbor. Con-
tracts have been signed with the Pol
low Amusement Co. for a street car
nival. commencing on Thursday. June
80, and ending on Monday night. July
T.
The Carnival company will have
from 10 to 16 first class shows. and
will be held on Wishkah street, be-
tween G street and Broadway. The
contract calls for good, clean shows
that can be attended with benefit by
ladies and children. and before the
contract was signed the general CON-
mittee satisfied themselves as to the
character of the shows, which were re-
Gently given in Everett, and were
highly recommended by those in
charge of that carnival.
The finance committee has not yet
found time to see the businessmen OF
the city, but have already received
the following volunteer subscriptions
Aberdeen Brewing Co., 5000; United
States National Bank, $50; Geo. J.
Wolff. $50 and l.. H. Burnett. $50. 1t
is estimated that at least $4,000 will
be required to hold such a celebration
as should be expected of Aberdeen
and no difficulty is anticipated in Sc
curing the money.

FEAR Is FELT FOR SCHOONER
The G. w. Watson Left Aberdeen,
April 10, fer HiIo, and Has Not
Been Heard From.

Fears for the safety of the schooner
G. w. Watson are expressed in ship
ping circles, under command of Cap
tain Tom Stream, who was accompan-
led on the voyage by his wife and lit.
tie daughter. The Watson sailed from
the Federal mill on April 10 last, with
cargo of lumber for Hilo, Hawaiian
Islands" and should have made that
port in from 20 to 30 days, but has
not yet arrived, nor has she been
spoken on the voyage.
The barkentine, Jane L. Stanford
left this port on the same day, April
10. for Honolulu, and arrived at her
destination after a quick passage. a
fact that gives belief that no typhoons
were raging at that time, and that
the Watson has been crippled, but
will reach port in safety Great con-
fidence is had in the seamanship of
Captain Stream, and shipping men are
of the opinion that he will pull the
vessel through safely if within the
limits of possibility.

Calling a Grand Jury.

The Herald is in receipt of numer
,ous inquiries from all parts of the
county asking if grand jury is to
, be called, and if so. when? To them
all we must answer. we do not know
The superior court judges have been
petitioned to call such jury, and the
law leaves the matter to their discre.
ton.
The county attorney, in an interview
in the evening paper, says he does not
oppose grand jury, but adds, Il per-
sonally have no use for a grand jury
Considering the apparent reluctance
of the superior judges to act in this
matter, and the personal" attitude
'of the prosecuting attorney, the Her.
aid is forced to the opinion that a
grand jury called reluctantly, and con-
Quoted by prosecution who has no
USE for it would probably prove a
farce. Much, of course. would depend
upon the makeup of the jury, but it's
effectiveness must, equally of course,
rest upon the prosecutor.
That the people of the county, in
a great majority, desire grand jury
investigation, is very evident, yet in
dicatiOns point to the futility of call
ing such a jury under the circum-
stances indicated. That the investiga-
tons will come the Herald is conf
afford the people an opportunity to
insure a real probing. not an opera
bouffe proceeding that can only be
looked for at this time.

Cat, Sunday.

Judge Phillips was the successful
hunter yesterday. The judge and two
companions, Harry Moir, and his
brother, Edgar, left Aberdeen, Sat
urday afternoon, and that night camp
ed on the upper Wishkah river. The
Judge went prowling around the next
morning and ran across a big bear,
which he killed at the first shot. Mrs.
A. r. Rogers is sure that this is the
same bear that has been a source of
great annoyance to the ranchers in
this district for some time, killing pigs
and chickens galore.
During the absence of the judge on
Sunday morning, the NOR boys freed
a wildcat and have the pelt to show
as evidence.
The party report fine fishing at the
dam and are going to try their luck
