OidiS 1867 AZ
Owing to the slight interest mani
tested in Aberdeen, fears for the sue
cess of the plan were entertained
hre, and, at the weekly luncheon the
Chamber of Commerce got busy, and
the members who could spare the
time, devoted the afternoon to getting
the vote out But for this action it
is doubtful If more than 400 votes
would have been cast in the city.
The opposition in the farming dis
tricts was not so great as was anti
cipated. The fact that a slight tax
was involved and but little campaign
ing was done to explain the dement's
to the county as a whole that would
follow the creation of great com.
mercial port on Grays Harbor, led
to the belief that the farmers would
vote against the port district. But,
the result shows almost as many
votes in favor as against in the east.

The dead man was Bill Alcorns, a

is II. II. Friar. He was arrested
for murder but is now out on bail
As might readily be expected. the
stories of those who ought to know

of the dead man and those of the
preacher are bitterly partisan and
until they appear i'm court and SUB

examination, not much reliance can
well be placed in what they tell.
As nearly as can be understood

It may have been done In an en-.

Only close study of the testimony

real facts are.

foundation OF its case.
Briefly the story the woman told

Soon she heard sounds of scuifling

HEAR HANF0RD
MONDAY NIGHT
Citizens are Invited to Club Rooms
to Hear Sewer Plan
Discussed.

Engineer H. Day Hanford, If
Seattle, who has been at work for
some months on the sewer plans,
will be at the Commercial Club
rooms Monday night, at which time
a public showing of the plans will be
made and a general explanation and
discussion of the project will take
place, in which every citizen and
taxpayer is asked to be present and
participate.
The installation of the sewer sys.
tenn presents the biggest problem
with which the city will have to
deal this coming year, and it is for
the purpose of getting a line on the
attitude of the citizen body that the
present meeting has been called.
Within the next few weeks the
will call the special election
for the purpose of voting the sewer
bonds, and this meeting will give
every taxpayer the opportunity to
80 familiarize himself with the pro-
iect that he will be able TO vote in
diligently. Please be there.

SIXTY IN ONE GRADE

The overcrowdcd condition of the
public schools will be further in
creased next Monday morning when
mid-year class of first primary
pupils will be taken in. This class
is composed of beginners and num-
bers slightly over twenty. The
school board has been unable to find
an additional room for this oncom-
ing class, so will institute cadet
teacher system in one of the prim-
ary rooms. About sixty children
will be placed in the second grade
under Miss Montague, and an adj
ditional teacher will be employed to
act under her supervision. This
will enable recitations to be carried
on continuously, those not reciting
working at their seats under the
supervision of the assistant teacher.
This addition to the rapidly grow
ing number of children in the pub
lie schools further emphasizes the
necessity for new building in the
Immediate future.

Floor debates on the expediency
OF giving senate patronage to women
as we'll as men have already come
up in both the senate and the house.
In the house the bars have been de-
finitely put down against the gentler
sex. In the senate the matter OF
employing women stenographers is
still an open one but it is likely that
if any petticoated typists find en-
ployment they will be few.
In both the upper and lower
houses those who have favored the
employment of women have givel,
as their argument the fact that fe
male stenographers and clerks are
fully as capable as men.
Senator Jesse Huxtable of Hill
yard convulsed the senate at the
caucus by moving that all employees
be women.

DEPOT PRESENTS
KN0TTY PROBLEM
Council Unable to Decide What
Sort of Structure City Should
Have

The plans, for the new depot to
be erected at this place by the Ore
gon- Washington, which were laid
before the council two weeks ago,
are still under advisement by that
body.
When the franchise was given to
the railroad it specified a depot
structure BUILT of brick, stone or
concrete, to conform to the fire Or
dinance. Now the company wants
to erect a semi-fire proof building Of
stucco to be torn down or moved at
the end of a stated period of years,
when an adequate brick structure
will be provided for the city.
The building now proposed will
make very pretty and creditable
depot for the time being and the
question centers upon whether it
would not be better at this time to
accept the plans for a temporary
structure than to hold the railroad
company to the letter of the .ordi-
nance and get a brick building. In
the latter event the company will
put up smaller depot and it will
have to remain for many years.
The time limit to he decided up
on, in case the temporary structure
is accepted, is also matter of con-
tention, the sense of the council be-
ing that six years will afford time
enough for the city to outgrow the
first structure; and the railroad
holding out for a term of ten years.
At Monday nights meeting the
council took a preliminary vote and
stood four to three against accept
ing the plans, while at the CONNER
cial Club meeting, at which the
matter had long discussion, the op-
inion was unanimous that they
should be accepted, with the six
year clause.
At best it is a perplexing prob
lem for the city fathers disposal,
but the plans for the temporary
building will likely be accepted at
Tuesday nights meeting, as the
railroad is anxious to begin imme-
diate construction.
