ment at $50 o'clock was indeed spec.
tacular. fhe few fortunate ones that
saw it claim that it wa some of the
best things on the program of the
day. AS the first tap of the fire bell
was sounded, the horses and shining
equipment came tearing down the
street, lighted up by the glow of red
fire that was lined along Market
street. The scene was one to awe
and thrill and was full of life and
action. The horses plunging at their
best speed on the smooth asphalt
pavement, and the men in their pO'
sitions ready to meet any danger, i'm
pressed the layman as to what dang
ers the life of fireman is exposed
1t was unfortunate that so few wit
messed this part of the days program.
Taken all in all, Aberdeen has just
cause for congratulation of it's cele-
bration in 1910. The absence of fire
works, and the good natured behavior
of the immense crowd resulted in a
day of enjoyment unmarried by an
accident or disorderly conduct worthy
of notice
Again, the financial side of the fete
is most satisfactory, and there will
be funds left after paying the bills.
The carnival, while not what can be
called stellar attraction, assisted
in providing entertainment, and added
materially to the eXchequer of the
finance committee.

SUMMER CAMP OPENS
Suggestion of Mayor Benn Meets
Hearty Welcome on the Part of
the Boys

The plan to give the boys of Aber
deen summer outing. suggested by
Mayor Benn meets with the hearty
approval of the boys as well as the
citizens who so literally subscribed
to assist the movement. In fact, so
many boys express desire to go to
the beach that more funds must be
secured to care for them.
While the fee of $500 week may
board the lads, the expense of in
stalling the camp has been heavy, and
no boy will be refused if he be un-
able to meet the small charge for
board, nor will any boy know who
has paid and who has not. 1t is TO
be Camp Equality" in every sense
of the word, conducted on the plan OF
pure democracy, where each chap is
as good as the other-if he behaves
himself.
About so boys left yesterday morn
ing on the steamer Champion to open
camp. A. II. Hause and S. l.. Meyer,
who will have charge of the camp,
had already dug a well and laid the
tent floors in readiness for the arri-
val of the lads and tents. So many
boys have made application to go, that
those in charge are compelled to re-
quest additional financial aid. They
fully realize that so many public
events recently have been somewhat
of burden upon our public-spirited
citizens, yet they believe they will
respond to an appeal that prom
ises so many benefits, present and fu
ture to the coming citizens of the
city.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Award Several Contracts for County
Road Building-Hot Dispute in
Wynooche.

MONTESANO, July 6.-Quite a row
developed at the meeting of the board
of county commissioner yesterday,
over the right of way in the town of
WynoOche for the proposed steel
this city. One faction, headed by c.
p. Look, desire to vacate some streets
in WynoOche for an approach to the
bridge, while another, champiOned by
Thos. Oswald, bitterly opposed the va
cation. Both parties met before the
board, and the discussion waXed furi-
Gus, and Look proposed to fight it out,
a la Johnson and Jeffries, for which
he later paid fine in the justice s
court. The dispute will result in an
effort to have Wynooche incorporated
as a town of the fourth class.
Contracts for the building of coun-
ty roads to cost more than 200
were let by the commissioners. There
is more than $4,000 worth of road
work either ordered or under course
of construction in Chehalis county
today, it is said. Contracts let were
awarded to w. G. Hyatt for the Sat
sop bridge approaches to cost ST.
S04; Bundy Flats road to J. Holman,
$3.50; Wishkah road, to Cooper &
Snyder at $19,537, and the London
road to Cooper & Snyder, for $1O,-
140.
Bids were ordered advertised for
the planking of the North River road
for three miles and for a steel bridge
across the HOquiam river at London,
These bids will be opened on August
first.
The county printing was awarded

NUDLEMAN CASE TODAY

This afternoon, the case of !. Mud
leman, second hand dealer, will be

is one that has attracted great deal
of attention locally, and is for the
enforcement of city ordinance, that

license of 800 a year to conduct
their business, and also report to the
police department all goods bought
by them, and the names of the per
sons selling same.

He came to the latter place about 6
o'clock, and because he was drukn he
soon found himself in a quarrel with
Kawakik's boarders. They threw him
out and left the premises, but returned
after several hours and broke a win

place to telephone for the police. and
1t was then that he encountered

HEALTH
REPORT

The state board of health's monthly
report for the month of october, Just
out, shows the relative standing of the
cities of the Calumet region on the

Cities from 10000 to $4,000, average
death rate per 1000 population 13.

rate 23.6, per thousand. iia4i-..iuli-

population, average 15.5 per 1000 popu-
lation Gary population, 5,s3S death
rate. 42.4. Within, population 6,037.
death rate 1876.
Because the statistics are correct as
to the number of deaths and very much
incorrect as to population as fars as
East Chicago and Gary are concerned
their death rate enormously is out of
proportion to their population.
