ELECTION TO Be
DECEMBER II
Port Bill to Come Before Vot-
ers to Decide by the
Ballot

Voters of Chehalis county have an
opportunity to adopt or reject the
plan to establish the Port of Grays
Harbor, district to include the en-
tire countay, special election being
called by the county commissioners
Tuesday, December IL, for that pur-
pose.
The adoption of the bill will mean
much to every city and town in Che
halls county, and the measure has
the endorsement of every commercial
organization in the county.
At the meeting of the commission
ers in Montesano last Monday, dele
cations ffrom all the cities and town
appeared before the board and urged
the calling of the special election to
allow the people to vote on the mat
ter.
The matter will be given the wild
est publicity, and it is hoped that
there will be no opposition to the
plan.
1T behooves every citizen of Che
halls county to consider this port bill
seriously and study it from every an
gle, as it's adoption will mean a great
deal to Chehalis county, said prom
inent citizen of this city. 1.-The bill is
one drawn for places like Grays Har-
Dor, and allows certain tax to be
used for harbor improvement. The
timber barons of Chehalis county are
doing nothing towards bettering this
harbor and when our timber is gone
the best crop We possess, and the
natural wealth of the section, will
have vanished. Before this transfer
nation takes place, it is just and
right that We get the timber interests
to assist us in paying for certain i'm
provements which should be made in
the inner harbor."
From the little numbering city of
McCleary on the east, to the Hump
tulips and Quiniault towns and Mo-
clips, comes words that all will work
for the bill and when the election is
called, it will carry by large ma
jority.
The first meeting on the port dis
trct election will be held in Monte
sano Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock
The merits of the bill will be discuss
ed and large number of people are
The matter of selecting the three can
didates to have charge of the port dis

From the Pocketbook Stand
point Commission Ef-
fects Saving.
SAVING THEIR SALARIES
Since s:Adoption Of Sensible
Business Methods in City
Government.

The following. from the Hoquiam
Washihgtonian, is the very best argu-
ment in favor of the adoption of the
commission form of government un-
der the Allen law in Aberdeen:
Expenses of the city during Sep
tember and October, 1911, are &c.
943.75 less than during the same pc
rod of time in 1910. This is partly
due to extra expenses incurred dur
ing the period last year. and to the
fact that there is less street repair
ing at present than formerly. A large
part of the reduction is due to the
new administration of city affairs,
the close supervision of all depart
ments and the elimination so far as
is possible, of waste.
City expenses in September, 1910,
We're $10,992.72, and in October, ST.
2S1.22 The difference was due to
the fact that the city hall, which had
been but recently damaged by fire,
had to be repaired. the expense be-
ing $2,S25.17.
The expense in September. 1911.
We're $5.S40.11 and in October, $3.50
0S Eliminating the repairs on the
city hall in September last year, the
saving is $4,11S.5S.
The expenses of repairing the
streets is getting lighter each year
as more permanent pavement is laid.
In the business district this is a big
item, and amounts to considerable
sum in the residence districts just
now because of the number of plank
streets which are getting old and
need constant attention.
Eliminating The difference in street
repairs and there will still be con-
siderable saving in the administra-
ton of city affairs. In buying mate
rials, hiring labor and other chan
nels, closer watch can be kept on
the expense fund, and in this way,
expenses lowered. Leaving out the
difference in street work this year
and last, the commission is savinb
from $500 to $1,000 per month.

FARMERS TO
HAVE EXCHANGE
Chamber of Commerce Sue
cesful in Organizing County
Produce Exchange

Through the efforts of the Cham
in Aberdeen Tuesday afternoon at
which the Chehalis County Produce
Exchange was organized, representa-
tives from Oakville, Elma, Montesano
and Aberdeen being in attendance.
Mr.. J. E. Calder was made presi-
dent pro TEN, and Dudley G. Allen,
secretary pro tem Others present
We're included in the organization.
They were:
N. S. Richards, B. E. Williams,
from Oakville; A. C. McNeill, w. H.
France, o. NJ. Nelson and J. E. Cald-
er, of Montesano; f. l.. Minard, c. H.
Palmer and f. l.. France, of Elma,
and Frank Davidson, |. p. Callison,
S. X. Bowes, Chas. Holmer, Ellis
Marten and Dudley G. Allen, of Aber-
deem.
The purpose of the organization is
to organize local branches of the main
body, in the different localities in
the county. Each locality to have a
representative to act as jobber or
handler of the produce raised in his
section, and to establish standard
that would govern the producer and
the buyer alike. Also to advise the
producer what produce there is a
market for in the county, and what
amount of such products can be han
died by the local wholesalers.
The wholesalers have agreed that
if this plan is carried out, that they
will buy all of the stuffs that can be
sold here, and if any shipments come
that are not up to the standard, the
reason for rejection of such ship.
ments will be told to the producer
through his local representative.
Each delegation from the three
communities that attended this meet.
ing was made a committee, with pow
er to act, and they were instructed
to secure the organization of their
locality at once.
When these localities are organized
meeting will be called by the presi
dent, and permanent organization
formed.
President Calder will appoint com
mittees in the different section that
We're not represented at this meet
ing.
An organization of this kind has
been in the minds of several of the
wholesalers for some time, and with
the perfection of this organization. i,
is expected that the farmers will not
only raise better class of food
stuff. but will raise only the kind
that there is a ready market for, and
the wholesalers in their turn will buy
home grown products in preference
to others.

Is Main Topic at Chamber Of
Commerce Luncheon
Tuesday
UNITY INTERESTS URGED
Crays Harbor Cities vitality
Interested in Development
Of Farming Section

The establishment of public mar
ket whereby residents of Aberdeen
can purchase produce first hand, thus
cutting out the commission mans pro
fit, and to what extent shall Aberdeen
use the farm products of Chehals
county, were the two important top
les at the regular weekly luncheon of
the Aberdeen chamber of commerce
at the hotel Washington last Tues
day.
1t was "upcountry" and farmers day
and there was a good attendance. The
main topic was the handling and sell
ing of homegrown produce. Guests
of the chamber produced arguments
in favor of purchasing everything pos
sible that could be raised in Chehalis
county n. S. Richards of Oakville,
in an address urged the harbor cities
to help build up the section in the
eastern portion of the county by pur-
chasing it's produce. He said that the
effects would be mutual instead of
farmers being compelled to go to
Olympia to find market for their
produce.
f. L. Minard of Elma, stated that
it had been proven that Chehalis
county could raise as good produce
as California and the people of Grays
Harbor should patronize home indus
try. He said the farming area of Che
halls county was extending and that
large and good crops could be raised
w. J. Patterson told the farmers
to first help themselves-to put their
produce in merchantable shape and
the harbor merchants would give it
preference. The farmers must tell
what they have and get it in shape
then business will come.
Frank Davidson, Charles Holmer
and |. P. Callison stated that the
merchants of Aberdeen would take all
the produce that was offered them
as soon as farmers knew and would
place it in attractive form, as to in
vite the public trade.
The report of A. C. Galliac, repre-
sentative to Seattle, at conference
of the commercial organizations, was
listened to attentively. Mr.. Galliac
presented a resolution for endorse.
ment favoring free toll for American
ships through the Panama canal, the
establishing of government drydock
on Puget Sound. A request to have
the navy department use the Pacific
Coast coal during times of peace in
it's warships by the ships of it's navy
and stricter immigration, rules which
We're adopted.
The southwestern Washington De-
velopment association entertainment
committee reported $949 collected and
$915.44 spent, leaving balance of
1885, which was turned over to the
