PLEASANT PICNIC
Grays Harbor Federation of Woman's
Clubs Held Regular Meeting at
the Irvine Home

Fresh ocean breezes, plenty of
bright sunshine, and all nature in
beauteous array gave very poetic
setting for the picnic of the Grays
Harbor Federation of Women's clubs
held yesterday afternoon at the IT.
vine home in North Aberdeen. The
thirty-five ladies who attended spent
the whole day out under the trees and
on the lawn running down to the
Wishkah river Music, picnic lunch
con, and the intellectual food of sew
eral short addresses made the day
we'll rounded. Delegates from the var
ious clubs on Grays Harbor, includ-
ladies from Hoquiam and Montesano
were in attendance. 1t was the regu-
lar quarterly meeting of the Fedora
ton and was made distinctly social
gathering Short talks were given
by Mrs. Mckee of Hoquiam, Mrs. o.
w. McKinlay, and Mrs. Wartman, OF
Aberdeen Then at o'clock the pic
mic luncheon was enjoyed, the bounte-
GUS spread being supplied from the
well-filled baskets of the ladies pres
ent. As a novelty, the lunch was
served cafeteria style.
After a short business session, the
afternoon was spent in old fashion
ed amusements. "Bean-bag and
"drop-the -handkerchief' proved the
favorites as in days gone by. Mrs,
w. W. Walk presided over the Vic
trola which furnished music through
out the afternoon. The next session
of the Federation will be held in Oc-
tober at the home of Mrs. Conlee in
Cosmopolis.

WILL ERECT NEW
CONCRETE BLOCK.
Grays Harbor Hardware Company
viii Erect New Structure on
River and c Streets.

To accommodate its increasing trade,
10 house its interests all under one
roof, and TO expand its stock to meet
new requirements the Grays Harbor
Hardware company, now located at
81 East Heron street, will build a
two story Office and warehouse build
ing on the lot at the corner of River
and G streets. E. S. Redeker, the
manager of the firm is now in Port
land where the bids for the construc-
ton of the building are being consid-
cred. Several local contractors are
among the bidders. 1t is probable
that the contract will be let at once
and the work on the building begun
Immediately.
The new structure is to be 100x120
feet. 1t will be two stories in height.
Reinforced concrete will be used
and the building will be thoroughly
fire-proof. The building will serve as
warehouse for the firms stock and
also will house the offices of the firm.

pany have been in business here since
January 1, 1910, when they bought
out the Aberdeen branch of the Vul-
can Iron Works of Seattle. Since
then they have enjoyed large bust
ness in hardware and mill supplies.
At present they have the storeroom
on Heron street, and warehouses on
Jefferson and River. They propose
to erect large warehouse which will
enable them to consolidate their bus
mess. They will continue to carry
their lines of mill supplies, logging
camp hardware and other kinds of
contractors implements.
Local and Portland capital is in
vested in the business and it has be-
come one of the strong establish
ments on Grays Harbor

WEEKLY LUNCHEON OF
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

J. d. Crazy, who las recently re
turned from an extended tour Of the
East gave a very interesting address
at the regular luncheon of the Cham
Der of Commerce held Tuesday noon
at the Washington. Mr.. Crazy gave
his impressions of the way Grays
Harbor is known in the East. He
stated that in many respects the East
was ignorant of the advantages of
this harbor, and that this city should
adopt a vigorous campaign for adver-
Using the resources of this section
Aside from Mr. Crary's talk there
was little of importance for the con-
sideration of the Chamber. The for
malities in connection with the adop-
ton of the amended bylaws of the
Chamber having been completed, they
were declared finally approved and
adopted. Definite plans for the new
membership campaign will probably
be announced in few days.
A communication from the San
Francisco fair associatio nurging the
Chamber to cooperate in securing a
special stamp for advertising the San
Francisco exposition was also consid-
cred.

Measuring Water Pressure.

To get the approximate difference in
elevation of different parts of city Is
a very easy matter where there Is
waterworks system. This is done by
attaching common steam gauges to
the plumbing systems at each place
and observing the readings. From the
difference in pressure at the gauges
the difference in elevation in feet can
be found. For every foot in height the
pressure will be .433 pound per square
inch BY multiplying the difference
in pressure at the gauges for different
elevations by .433 we get the differ
ence in elevation in feet. Suppose the
gauge reads six and one-half pounds
at the top of an elevation and thirty
and one-half pounds at the bottom.
The difference is twenty-four pounds,
and this multiplied by .433 gives the
approximate difference in height to be
1892 feet.
