With it's fine water, there is no
reason why many people from the
far South should not come to this
section for the Summer, but of
course the town is uninviting bG-

ton which exists. Newport has
her little cleanup weeks, but im-
mediately afterwards it seems to
be the general desire to scatter
litter more than ever.

FRIDAY Following
Long Illness

Following a long illness, resulting
from paralysis which however, did
not take effect until about week
ago, Mrs. Mary Damitio, aged 73
years died at 12:45 o'clock Friday
morning at her home, 519 East Mar
ket street. Funeral services were
held Saturday at st. Mary's Catholic
church, and interment made in Fern

Mrs. Damitio, and husband, John
who died three years ago, were pion-
GERS of Aberdeen and Chehalis coun-
ty, coming here in 1889. For a num-
ber of years they lived on ranch
near Elma, but later moved to this
city. Only short time after their
arrival in Aberdeen, they secured
property on Market street where they
made their home. Both Mr.. and Mrs.

REDUCED RATES
NOW DEMANDED
Cosmopolis Citizens Appeal
to Commission to Cut
Fare in Two
MANY SIGN THE PETITION
Believe Rate of Seven and
One-Half Cents Enough
for One Trip

Seeking what they consider a just
reduction in care fare between their
little city and Aberdeen, residents OF
Cosmopolis> has forwarded a petition
to the public service commission at
Olympia. The petition asks that the
fare be cut square in two, making the
fare between the two cities 15 cents
for the round trip instead of II cents
for fare one way
1t is the contention of the petition
ers that the street car company has
no right to charge more than five
cents car fare, and that the bridge
toll should be no more than two and
one-half cents.
The matter of securing a reduction
was brought before the two CONNER
cial organizations of Cosmopols sew
eral weeks go but only recently was
action in the proper direction taken.
The petition asks that a five-cent
fare be provided between Cosmopolis
and to the limits of any part of Aber-
deem. Srould the petition be granted.
South Aberdeen as well as Cosmopolis
will be greatly benefited, as residents
living across the river to the south
will also have a reduction in car
fare.

BIG SUCCESS
Associated Charities of City
Realize Good Sum From
the Event

BY far the most successful social
event of the season was the annual
charity ball given Friday night at
Electric park. The affair much bet
ter attended than any similar event
ever held in Aberdeen and the Associ-
ated Charities, under whose aupices
the ball was given have announced
that its members are we'll pleased
with the financial part of the af-
fair.
The big hall was crowded through
out the evening. Dancing began
promptly at o'clock and lasted until
after midnight. The excellent music
was furnished by 15-piece orches-
ira under the leadership of j. e.
Slattery. One of the features of the
evening was the vocal solo by Mrs.
G. p. Halferty. The supper table was
presided over by Mrs. Patton, Mrs.
Perry, Mrs. Kicker and Mrs. McNiv.
en-. A number of out-of-town guests
were present.

FRANCE FATHERS
POPULAR IDEA
Believes That Quiniault Lake
Should Furnish xxWater
Supply for City
BUT TIME IS NOT RIPE
Other Cities on the Harbor
Should Combine to Help
Construct Line

1t is possible, in fact probable, that
survey by the city will be made
between Aberdeen and Quiniault lake,
with the view of securing an esti.
mate as to the cost of the construc
tion Of water system. This plan
which was proposed several days
ago by Eugene France, is evidently
popular one, and it is understood
that the proposition will be brought
before the council at it's next meet.
ing Wednesday night.
According to Mr.. France, Quiniault
lake offers better quality of water
than the upper waters of the Wy
nooche, and that, should the city de-
eide on the lake water, while neces
stating the laying of an additional
ten miles of pipe, the route to- the
lake would be easy and would really
cost no more than laying a pipe line
to the Wynooche.
While the majority in the council
seem to favor municipal ownership
of such a system. many citizens, in
Guiding Mr.. France believe that pri-
vate concern should construct the
system, and that Aberdeen, Hoquiam
.Cosmopolis and Montesano join in
having the system constructed. He
does not believe that at present Alb
erdeen is financially able to tackle the
task alone.
