SHIP 800 TONS
ROCK DAILY
Great Quantities Of Rock For
North Jetty Are Being
Handled

Ten cars Of stone a day are now
handled at the dock of the Grays
Harbor Construction company on the
south side. A new derrick is under
construction. however, and when this
is completed at least 20 carloads q
day will be loaded on to the barges
for towing to the North Jetty. The
present derrick can lift rock of five
or six tons weight, but the new der.
rick will handle ten tons of stone.
The new derrick will be in place by
the middle of this week. Eight hun.
dred tons day will then be shipped
to the jetty, or about two barge loads,
as the capacity of each barge is
about 400 to $50 tons.
This stone is furnished by the Her
cules Sandstone company of TeninO.
Shipments thus far have been largely
from the store that has accumulated
at the quarries in quarrying for the
choicest building stone, but from now
on new stone will have to be quar-.
ried. The contract with the govern.
ment amounts to 100000, and has
meant new life for the stone com.
pany and for Tenino. The streets
there are being oiled, according to
reports, and new houses being built

Executive and Finance Com
mittee Met Yesterday to
Complete Program
SOMETHING TO BE DOING
Entertainments Provided By
Aberdeen and Hoquiam
Will Attract

The executive committee of the
Fourth of July celebration met yester-
day with the finance committee to
arrange the prizes for the various
events of the celebration, and to de-
fnitely outline the program of the
four-day festivities. The finance COM
mittee reported about 81 800 subscrib-
ed, with quite a number yet to be
seen, which will bring the total to
$4,000, and upon this basis the ex-
ecutive committee apportioned the ex-
penditures among the various sub-com-
mittees.
Arrangements have been made with
the Electrical Workers Union for the
illumination of the streets, and the
work of decorating the streets will be-
gin tomorrow. 1t the matter of decor
ations, prizes will be awarded for the
best decorated building and the best
decorated window.
The parade promises to be gior.
ious pageant, and two prizes will be
offered for each of the following: Best
decorated float; best industrial rep
iresentation; best decorated automo-
bile; best sustained character; best
grotesque character. Special prizes Of
$40 and S. will be given for the best
Photographic views of the parade, with
the idea of securing publicity for Alb
erdeen by sending the views to the
Russell Sage Foundation.
C. C. Quackenbush, manager of the
Potlatch, reported everything arrang.
ed with the Quiniault Indians and the
big act of the man fired from a can
non. The plans outlined by Manager
Quackenbush provide for weeks en-.
tertainment beyond anything hereto
fore attempted on Grays Harbor.
1t was suggested that one or two
weddings take place on the Potlatch
grounds, and, with characteristic pub.
lie spirit, Burnett Bros. have agreed
to present the first couple announced
to be wed at the Potlatch with silver
tea set, and Geo. j. Wolff will pres.
ent the bride of the second couple
so announced with a wedding dress.
All announcements to made to J. J.
Carney, secretary of the executive
committee.
From advices from all over Chehalis
county, the indications are that Alb.
erdeen will be the center of attrac-
tion on the Fourth and this is said
with no attempt to belittle the cele-
brations at the other towns. In fact,
the effort Of Aberdeen has SO far been
in good-natured rivalry with Hoquiam,
and the result will be crowds of Alb.
erdeen folks in Hoquiam to see the
Elks circus. and multitude of Ho.
GUAM people at the Aberdeen Pot
latch.

new BRIDGE IS
READY TO STEEL
Workmen to Place Hosting
Derrick For Steel On
Chehalis Bridge

Workmen are today loading the big
derrick for hosting the steel to the
new bridge on a scow to be towed to
the center pier, where it will be
fixed in place. With the placing of
the derrick the structural work on
the bridge will start at once. The
steel has been loaded on cars at Cen
tralia, where it has been stored.
There are IA carloads of material for
the girders and spans.
The building of the north pier for
the bridge has been delayed owing
to distractions in the river bed.
Heavy logs grounded in the silt at
the bottom of the river have been
removed with difficulty. A diver was
employed last week to aid in loosen
ing the heavy debric. AS it is, the
caisson for the pier has been put in
place and the Golfer dam will soon
be erected. The concrete work on the
pier should begin shortly.
The last pier to be built on the
south side is we'll under way. The
concrete work is proceeding rapidly
and the pier virtually should be COM
pleted by the end of the week. The
work on both sides of the river at
tracts a great deal of interest among
those who visit the water front.

Box Factory Of Grays Harbor
Commercial Company
Burns Yesterday
$50, 100000 DAMAGE DONE
Origin of Fire is Unknown.
Aberdeen Force Lends
Assistance

Fire broke out early yesterday morn
ing at the box factory of the Grays
Harbor Commercial company's big
plant at Cosmopolis. In spite of the
heroic work of the Cosmopolis fire
department aided by a detail from the
Aberdeen force, damage to the ex-
tent of $4,000 or $4,000 was done
before the fire was gotten under con-
troll. BY II a. m. however, the pro-
gress of the blaze was stopped, and
the rest of the great plant was saved
The work of clearing away the debris
has already begun.
1t was about six o'clock when the
watchmen about the buildings nOtic-
ed smoke issuing from the east end
of the box factory. The alarm was
turned in, but in the face of strong
east wind the fire kept gaining head
way. Calls for assistance were sent
in to Aberdeen and Fire Chief Tam
blyn, under orders of Acting Mayor w.
0. McCaw, took Chemical Engine No.
2 and Fire Engine No. with crews
from the South side fire house. They
arrived on the scene by seven o'clock,
the chemical engine returning short
ly after, as it was of little assistance.
The fire was hard one to get at to
fight; and it was only with difficulty
that it was finally gotten under con-
troll, about eleven o'clock.
The fire destroyed the east side Of
the factory, including the planning
department and the dove-tailing de-
partment. The main factory and the
boiler room were fortunately saved.
Both are running as usual this after
noon. The damage is great, not only
in it's amount, but in it's crippling of
the plant. Manager Cooney states,
however, that night work will start at
once, and with the double shift the
company can keep up with it's orders.
The cause of the fire is not known.

surance. The box factory will be
rebuilt at once. Workmen are al
ready engaged in clearing away the
debris, and the work of rebuilding will
start as soon as possible. The plant
is so we'll organized, however, that
there will be little delay in handling
its work.

FIRST WHAlER GOES
our FROM ABERDEEN
Steamer Patterson Is Leader in Fleet
From Grays Harbor; Gunner
Tries His Workmanship

Fully equipped and manned for a
voyage lasting anywhere from one
day to two weeks, the steam whaling
steamer Patterson crossed over the
Grays Harbor bar late Friday night
and stood out to sea on quest for
the first whale for the new whaling
station at Sanford's point. which is
now in readiness to receive the catch.
1t is expected that the Patterson
will return some time this afternoon
or late tonight with the first whale
1t is reported that the waters off
the Washington coast are teeming
with whales and no difficulty is ex-
pected in procuring them.
Previous to departure the chief gun
ner of the Patterson tried out his
craftsmanship with the big harpoon
gun in the bow of the vessel and,
it is said, made a perfect record for
three shots. hitting a floating barrel
al 300 yards with precision.
Although the big plant at SANFORD
point is not completed, it is far enough
along to enable it to begin operations,
and while ordinarily the Patterson
will remain outside until three or
four whales have been secured on the
first attempt she will return with the
first whale taken. The vessel has
capacity for towing II ocean monsters
at a time and, even with this load,
she is capable of making from two to
three knots per hour

not so bad, but in the night, when
the clouds completely cut every ray
of light, it was nerve racking as the
huge seas roared above the little craft
wallowing along in the trough of the
waves.
after about three weeks mountains
were seen off the starboard bow. The
wind was favorable. so the boat was
headed for the land, which turned
out to be Coronation island, north
west of Prince of Wales island. The
old chart was not sufficiently plain
for the men to recognize the island,
so they were as much in the dark as
ever until they came across the fish
ing schooner Todd, from this port,
which supplied the men with food and
told them the location of Ketchikan,
and once more they were on their
way.
Arrive at Hadley.
Past Cape Decision and up
through Sumner straits they sailed,
rounding the north end of Prince of
Wales island, there they entered Clar-
ence strait and headed south again. By
this time the wind had swung round
to the north, so that they were able
to make good progress and Tuesday
morning the boat and her worn crew
arrived at Hadley and the danger
was over.
STANLEY Oaksmith and wife proved
veritable good Samaritans to the poor
wanderers, taking them in and feed
ing and caring for them, and later
bringing them to Ketchikan, where
they arrived Tuesday evening after a
struggle lasting five long and weary
weeks, during which time they had
covered over 1,50O miles of what is
probably as stormy a piece of water
as there is in the whole world"
