The delegates come from Idaho,
Montana, Oregon and Washington,
half Of them representing various col.

advance guard arrived yesterday on
the Milwaukee road and the larger
delegation at noon today.
From an advertising standpoint
this Y. w. c. A. conference will be

Railroad men and travellers say that
Grays Harbor's beaches are the most
beautiful and most available in the
state and all three local lines will CO.

MONTESANO, June 22.-To read
the account given Of the county con.

here Friday as published in the
Grays Harbor Twins, one would be
led to believe it was rather a tumult-
uous affair, yet the fact remains that
it was as orderly a convention as
could be expected where some seventy
minds differing on some points argue
and reason to an agreement. The
convention had about the same num-

HAS PLAN
TO BUILD BRIDGE
Will Create Large Improve
ment District to Build
Wishkah Street Bridge
NO ELECTION IS NEEDED
Expression Of Voters at Spe-
cial Election Sufficient to
Justify Action.

councilman James Empey mas
evolved plan whereby the city
council can build the needed bridge
at Wishkah street without calling an
election and will bring the subject
to the attention of the council to-
morrow night. Mr.. Empey, in COM
mon with the other members of the
council, realizes that the life Of the
Heron street bridge is short, that it
will require six or eight months from
the time the decision is made to
build suitable bridge at Wishkah
street and feels that the city author.
tiles cannot afford to take chances
on having the main artery leading
into the city hampered should the
Heron street structure give out.
Taking the expression Of the citi-
zens as shown at the special elec.
tion last spring, together with the
fact that the adoption of the Port
plans moves the Wishkah river bridge
from Heron to Wishkah street, Mr..
Empey holds that immediate action
is dictated by true economy and wise
business precaution.
His plan is to create an improve.
ment district, comprising the entire
city, except South Aberdeen, and to
levy an assessment upon the district
to pay for the bridge, in ten annual
fnstallments, just as our street i'm
provements are paid for. In making
this assessment, he would have the
nearby property, that which would
be most directly benefited, bear the
largest part of the cost, reducing the
expense to property as the distance
from the bridge increased and the
corresponding benefits decreased.
Mr.. Empey believes the entire city
will be benefited by bridge across
the Wishkah river that will be speedy
and adequate for the large and con-
stantly increasing traffic over this
river. He estimates that the time
saved to vehicles and pedestrians by
a modern. quick, lift bridge would
pay it's cost in less than ten years,
and in this the Herald agrees with
him.
1t will not do to argue that this
loss affects only the owners of the
vehicles. Every item in the cost OF
delivery on wood, meats, groceries,
ETC., is and must be added to the
cost of the commodities to the ulti.
mate consumer, and it is not alto.
gether presumption to say that the
recent advance in wood Of so cents
load was due in a large measure
to the enhanced cost Of delivery
through delays at the Heron street
bridge.
OF course, there will be opposition
to the plan Of Mr.. Empey, as there
would be to any plan, but, we believe
| il the scheme Of assessment was
worked out. showing how lightly the
burden fell upon property at q dis
tance from the bridge and the ur
gency Of the matter to the entire city
most OF the disinterested opposition
would vanish into thin hair. So.
