spection of the little craft. AS she
lies moored to Burrows dock at tne
foot of f street her appearance Is
one of awe as well as of interest. The
landsman on getting his 1lrst slllhpse
of the little craft, wonders II men
have nerve enough to go to sea III d
hoat so narrow. Her displacement IS
42O tons, and she carries crew Oh
"a men. A trip of inspection over ner
is a good education in this line ana
there are so many things to be eX-
nlained that you get ashamed to ask
your guide so many questions, Dut
thev are all so polite and obllglng
that YOU feel at home. The men
aboard her are classed as machlnlsts
and gunners. She carries four White
head torpedoes of the latest pattern
besides smaller guns.
She is in command of Captain w.
C. Lytle, and will be at Burrows dock
until July 5, and is open for lnspec-
tion during that time. Leaving mere
she will sail for San Francisco 10
undergo some minor repairs.
Definite word has been received
from the Seattle Auto club, that the
cars that are going to make the run
to the beach for the races Will stay
over for the parade on the Fourth
and the local owners of cars are saw
ing decorations for these visitors,
vho will enter in the parade and COM
pete for the prizes that are offered.
With the success of celebration as
sured the citizens of Aberdeen should
take pride in every feature of the at
fair, and do all that they can to make
every one in town remember that Ao-
-erdeen had the carnival spirit.
