HILTS CLAIMS.TO
HAVE GRIEVANCE
Says Action Of City Council
Caused Him to Sell Pro.
perty at Sacrifice

r. J. Hits has sold his property
on the southeast corner of Second and
Broadway to DR.. w. J. Long, fol-
$500, price, Mr.. Hits says, is al
least $1,000 below it's value. and he
lays the blame of his sacrifice sale
on the city council, for refusing to
permit change in the grade that
would have benefited the street cross
ings. He had agreed to build a S12,-
coo garage on the lot, on long
lease which, he says, he was obliged
to cancel, and sold the property in
disgust.
The Aberdeen World quotes a coun-
Gilman as saying that his petition
was refused because the council was
unable to understand from it Just
what he wanted. To this, Mr.. Hits
replies that he went to the city en-
gineer to see about the change, and
this official told him to get peti-
tion signed by certain property own.
ers, who would be interested, and he,
the engineer would put it up to the
council. This he did, only to find
the request denied-admittedly with.
out understanding what it was--at the
meeting last Wednesday night, and he
feels that the action was a pretty at
tempt to use official positions to
get even on account of the difficult
ties Hits had with the council last
year, when he was expelled from his
seat.
1t seem certain that no official with
knowledge of the Kindergarten en-
gineering that provided sort of
bump the bumps at the four side
walk intersections of Broadway and
Second street would, acting for the
convenience of the public, have de-
MED this request. If, as the council
man quoted by the World says, the
council did not understand the re-
quest, it could have called upon the
engineer for information, or at least
have continued the matter until II
was understood.

CONGRESSMAN
A. ]. FALC0NER
Will be Guest at Chamber of
Commerce Weekly Lunch
con Tomorrow
MAY CELEBRATE FOURTH
Many Matters Of Importance
Promises an Interesting
Meeting Tomorrow

Congressman-elect A. J. Falconer, of
Everett, representing the First dis
trict, arrived in the city today and
will be a guest of the Aberdeen Cham
ber of Commerce at the weekly lunch
con. at Hotel Washington tomorrow
noon. Congressman Falconer comes
to meet the people of Grays Harbor
and acquaint himself with the needs
Of this important port, and will spend
a few days looking over this section.
Reports are expected from the COM
mittee in charge of legislation af-
fecting Grays Harbor and Chehalis
county. Chairman Locke and A. c..
Gailac have spent some time at Olym-
pia urging the desirable bills, with
the result that House bill No. 249,
granting 6S acres of waterfront land
at Cow Point, to the port of Grays
Harbor, for port purposes passed the
House Friday with but one dissenting
vote.
The securing of large delegation
to go to Olympia tomorrow night, to
attend the sessions of the Southwest
Washington Development association
will be discussed. Joint committees
of the Aberdeen and Hoquiam COM
mercial organizations met Thursday
night, and discussed such action as
might be desirable, with a view of
having the representatives from Grays
Harbor act in unison at the meetings
1t is likely the chamber will be
asked to begin preparations for a
grand celebration of the Fourth of
July, and to have it under the aus
pices of the chamber Boetiger Bros
have received a communication from
Captain J. V. Martin, Seattle, Offering
to bring an air ship here, and to
make spectacular flights between Alb
erdeen and Hoquiam for 500, which
will be turned over to the chamber
if it decides to take up the celebra-
ticn.

RECESSION OF
ROAD CONTRACT
Hoquiam Commercial Club
Gets Wrong Line on the
Hanson Road Matter
CONDEMNS WRONG BOARD
The Cancelled Contract Was
Awarded Almost in Defi-
ance of Court Order
CONDEMNS WRONG BOARD

The directors of the Hoquiam Com
mercial club, held Saturday, express
ed surprise and disappointment at
the action of the county commissio-
ers which cancelled the contract for
building what is known as the C. D.
Hanson road. The Herald doubts that
the Hoquiam directors were fully ad,
vised in this road matter, and believes
that if they were they would be neith-
er surprised nor disappointed.
The manner of awarding this con-
tract was suspicious, to say the least
At the last meeting of the old board,
on January 6, with the full know
sought in the superior court to re-
strain them from awarding this con-
tract the board within twenty min
utes, by the clock, considered five
bids and let contract that required
$4,S30 Of public money, an unseemly
haste that was remarked in the Her.
ald OF January y.
AS near as this paper can learn,
the objections to the appropriation at
that time were for several reasons
In the first place the right of way
was not firmly secured. A tenta-
tive agreement was entered into by
Alex Polon and two of the commits
sioners the chairman not signing it.,
to deed the right of way in three
years, provided the county improved
(?) the road and built a bridge over
the Hoquiam river Just what was
meant by Improve was considered
altogether to indefinite by the new
board to justify the initial expenditure
of nearly $4,000.
Besides, the road did not arrive
anywhere. The three and one-half
miles covered by this contract con-
nected the Hoquiam-London road
with an abandoned railroad grade of
the Poison Logging Co., and ended
in the woods, and there was not
wheeled vehicle on the route to use
the road. What the new board of COM
missioners desire is to connect the
road at both ends. An extension of
four or five miles from the northern
terminus of this abandoned railroad
grade would connect with the Hump
tulips road, and give a second road
through virgin country between
Grays Harbor and Humptulips. AS
it now stands, it runs to nowhere, and
would accommodate little or no travel
as nobody lives on or near the road
Instead of condemning the new
board of commissioners, the Hoquiam
Commercial club, will, upon investi-
cation find the old board blameable
for the reckless appropriation of pub
lie money, done in such indecent haste
to forestall a court order to show
cause why they should not be re-
strained from that very act

MISSING GIRL
IS RECOVERED
Sylvia Cornell, Who Disap-
peared Last Month is
Found in Seattle

Sylvia Carnell, the 15-year-old girl,
who disappeared from the home of
her adopted parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
r. II. Pratt, 51S North r street, on
January 2S, was found Saturday in
Seattle. When she disappeared, it
was thought she had sought the
theatrical profession, to which she
had been early trained, and Chief of
Police Templeman sent her descrip-
ton to the police of all cities on the
Coast, with The result that the Seat
tie authorities found her in the Nc
Cauley Home, place said to have an
unsavory reputation, and notified
Chief Templeman.
One result of finding the girl has
been to place VIM. Matthew, jani-
tor of st. Rose academy in the city
Jail, to be charged with contributing
to the girls delinquency. Sylvia in
formed the Seattle police that she re-
mained five days in Aberdeen after
leaving her home, having been con-
cealed by Matthews in barn in the
rear of the academy, of which insti-
tuition she had been a pupil.
According to her story, Matthews
kept her three nights and days in the
barn, and two nights in the furnace
room and then bought her railroad
ticket to Tacoma, from whence she
made her way to Seattle The Sc
attic police are on track of anoth-
er man in that city, whom they want
on white slavery charge, and who
is believed to have had Sylvia in
charge in that city.

Fifth Ward-A. B. Curtis.
Sixth Ward-Joseph Thomas.
1t will be observed that party lines
are ignored by democrats and repub-
licans, the socialists only injecting
national politics into city government
tai affairs, SO that the contest will
narrow down to the nominees of the
Republican and socialists at the regu
lar elections in April. AS the nomin
ees on the republican ticket will be
the officials elected in April, the vot-
ers are left free of all party prejudice
to exercise their best judgment as tC
the capacity and fitness of the various
candidates for the position for which
they run, with an eye single to the
best interests of the city.
Aberdeen is at a critical period in
its history; the Panama canal prom
ises to bring hordes of foreigners to
the North Pacific Coast, many of q
class to be greatly desired, and 9th
ers, perhaps, not so desirable, some
of whom before they are here six
months will develop a desire to remod
ell this government from the National
Capitol to the small city, and Aber-
deem should have local government
fit to cope with such conditions fairly
and firmly, in such manner as will
attract the desirables and cause it to
become noted as a good place for
apostles of anarchy to stay away from
The choice of this government is in
the hands of the people, in other
words, what we will receive is up to
us.

HENRY (. M'CAIN SPRINGS SURPRISE
 TO RUN AGAINST CHIEF
RESIGNS AS DEPUTY AND AN NOUNCES FOR THE OFFICE
 OF STATE AUDITOR.

Little Rock, Dec. 1S.-An unexpect- ed development in state politics was the resignation Wednesday afternoon of Henry c. Mccain as deputy state auditor and insurance commissioner eeffctive at once. Auditor Cotfman had had no intimation of his intention until the resignation was handed him.
 But this was not the greatest sur prise, which followed when Mr. Me Cain announced that he is a candidate for state auditor and insurance com missioner to succeed l.. l.. Coffman, holding the office by appointment of the governor to succeed JohfsM. Oath out, deceased. Mir. Coffman is also a candidate for the office, and until the entry of Mr. Mccain it was thought he would be unopposed MT. Mccain has been deputy insurance commis- sioner for year, and is now serving his second term as alderman from the First ward in the Little Rock city council. He is a son of the late Judge Mccain, one of Little Rocks most prominent attorneys.
