of few years ago. Merchants in
that city did not dare to attend my
meeting. We're they afraid of the
patronage of the millionaire being
withdrawn? No-because the mill
ionaires purchased their things in
Paris-it was the patronage of the
maid and the coachman that they
feared being withdrawn.
Young men of the West, that is
not known in this new country of
yours-you should strive to keep the
lines of society flexible. No matter
what level man may be in he should
always be allowed to rise. | know
in certain class he never arises
above that strata. But in this great
West, any boy of honesty, integrity
and talent can rise to the head.
You are living on the last white
mans frontier and across the ocean

born again. You are on the margin
of the mystic Orient and you will
be the first to lead nations into the
new fields. am here to learn your
needs and hope to be of service to
you when l return Gentlemen,
thank you for this reception"

POPULAR OFFICIALS TO LEAVE

J. S. Thornton, for the past year
general manager of the Grays Harbor
Railway & Light company, and Fran
els W. Wood, treasurer, expect to
leave Aberdeen about the first of No
vember. The men will be succeeded
by Fl. B. Zimmerman and F.. H. Russ,
who hail from the east. 1t is with
much regret that Aberdeen learns
of the departure of these men from
the ranks of it's business men, as
they were just getting acquainted
with the needs of Aberdeen. Mr..
Thornton recently took an active part
in the Bridge Day exercises, the cleo
trical display of the bridge and train
being his original idea.
Both officials have been fair in their
treatment of employees and of patrons
Of the road and the public in the
transaction of business and the Her
aid wishes them success wherever
they go.

But Is In Successful Operation
in Many Progressive
Cities
is THE MODERN METHOD
If Pioneers Had Feared New
Trails Where Would Ab-
erdeen Be?

In discussing the commission form
of government, its opponents are fond
of calling it a new, untried plan. An
experiment, not to be ventured upon.
Even if this contention was true, it
would be but lame argument in this
country, where almost everything is
new, and which would be wilderness
today if its hardy pioneers had feared
to tread unknown paths. But the COM
mission plan is not new, it has been
successfully in force for years in
many cities, and in none of them is
found desire to return to the old
shiftless, wasteful system
To show that it is not the novel
experiment our timid friends would
have us believe, list of cities in
which the plan is being successfully
operated is printed below:

Reno Papers Have Evidently
Made Serious Mistakes

The Reno papers continue to get
things on the wrong trail. They
have been announcing that Law
ence, the former postmaster OF Ha-
zen, who is serving a life sentence
for murder, has been pardoned. He
is in the pen and made no applica-
ton the present term. The man
who is out is j. w. Carroll, who
was paroled at a meeting a year
ago. He has finished his entire
sentence and is making a good citi-
zen as he has been in business for
nearly a year.
Lawrence, on the other hand, has
made two applications which were
turned down. He was found guilty
OF numbering man at the time
Hazen was considered the toughest
town in the state. He enticed man
into the sand dunes and killed him
for the money he had on his per-
son.

Dangberg Company Has
Rented Big Range

The Dangberg company has rent
ed the range formerly used by Tom
Hickey at the head of Carson river,
This is considered one of the fin
est summer ranges in the entire
west. The Truckee River General
Electric company purchased the
holdings from Hickey number of
years ago and has been leasing it
TO sheepmen. The moving of cattle
INTO the section will shut out many
sheep that have been accustomed
to making headquarters up that di-
rection. There is considerable gov
eminent land in the same section
which the forest service let's to the
sheepmen. 1t is mostly occupied
by California herders who drive over
from the other side.
