To Show Their Gratitude.

W hen the news came of the loss of
the Tahona and the rescue of her crew
and it was known how carefully the
searching ships secured the north At
lantic for the scattered boats the feel
ing became general throughout the
revenue cutter service that the men
should in some way personally
show their appreciation of what was
done for their fellows. The idea
finally crystallized into the proposed
purchase of a souvenir for each man
on the rescuing ships. This idea is
now being carried out. 1t viii possibly

CHURCH OFFERS
GYM FOR PUBLIC
First Methodist Church Plans
Public Gymnasium in Base
ment of Church

At meeting of the trustees of the
First Methodist church Monday night,
plans were adopted to convert the
basement of the new church, Second
and l streets into a public gymna-
stun. Now that the auditorium of
the church is sufficiently completed
for use to hold divine services, it is
the purpose of the church to make
such use of the commodious base
ment as will be of benefit to the gen.
eral public.
The plans provide for handball
courts, basketball and indoor base
ball fields and for gymnasium appar-
atus of various kinds, the latter to
be bought only as need arises. Show
or baths will be installed and ev-
cry convenience of modern up-to-
date gymnasium will be added if it
is shown that there is any public de-
sire for the gymnasium.
The arrangements and control of
the gymnasium will be in the hands
of committee of five, of whom two
will be members of the church and
the other three will not. The lat
ter will be selected from among the
business and professional men of the
city. The conduct of the gymnasium
is to be on a non-sectarian basis, and
NO T.
ter of what religion or of no re.
ligion
This is the first time in the his
tory of this city, at least, where a
church building has been offered
for such purposes. The basement
was constructed with the gymnasium
idea in view 1t has been used for
some time as the meeting place of
the church proper owing to the fact
that the main auditorium of the
building has not been finished.
Rooms for the Sunday service have,
however. been fitted up on the main
floor and this makes the gymnasium
space in the basement available. 1t
is already in use by some of the
younger members of the church, but
| it is desired to widen the scope OF
utility.
Under the new plan, which has
been largely fostered by w. c. Mu
NAV, president of the Aberdeen
Chamber of Commerce. the gymna
SUM will be open at all hours of the
day. Specified hours will be allowed
for women and girls, and for schoo
pupils and business men. Glasses
will be arranged for in the evenings

RESTORE TRAIN FROM
GATE TO CENTRALiA

According to announcement, the
Northern Pacific has resumed the
passenger service between Gate and
Centralia, which was discontinued on
Nov. %, when each of the three rail.
roads took off one of its services be-
tween Seattle and Portland. The
train leaving Hoquiam at 1925 D.
m. and Aberdeen at 12:4O o'clock, will
connect at Gate with train No. 504
for Centralia.
Since Nov. % the Northern Pa
cifc has been operating two trains
each way between Centralia and
Gate, and the new arrangement will
restore the old order, under which
there were three trains each way.

RAILWAY RATES
ARE REDUCED
Through Rate to Santa Fee
Pointy Will Become e.
fective January l

Announcement Of a through rate
on lumber from Northern Pacific
points on Willapa Harbor. Grays Har-
Dor and Olympia to Santa Fe points,
to be effective December 81, was
made yesterday by the Pacific Freight
Tariff bureau. Although the O.-W.
r. & N. has carried lumber to Santa
Fe points, which take in Northern
Arizona, New Mexico and San Joa-
quin valley territory, on a through
rate, the Western Washington mills
have heretofore had to pay a local
rate to the nearest O.-W. r. & N.
point and have their shipments re-
billed to the Southern markets. This
new arrangement also includes the
San Joaquin valley points along the
Nisalin Electric railroad.
This is one of the moves designed
TO help out the bad state into which
the lumber business lapsed owing to
a number of unfavorable conditions,
among which is the high cost of trans
porting the product.
South Bend is one of the points
where the lumber manufacturers will
benefit most by the new rate. Their
local rate to Chehalis, where ship
ments were rebilled over the O.-W.
r. & N. on a thorough rate to the
Southern districts, was a large item.
After the first of the year they will
ship straight through from their
Northern Pacific station to the San
ia Fe points on the through rate.

OLYMPIA, Dec. 10.-Of the more
than $16.OO0,OOO that it is estimated
it will cost the taxpayers to main
tain the state government for the en-
suing two years, beginning April l,
1915, nearly $l3,OOO,OOO will have to
be raised by direct tax levies, ac.
cording to a table prepared by the
state bureau of inspection. The in
direct revenues total approximately
$3.000.00O, it is shown.
The s13,OOO,OOO tax burden does not
include, however. the approximately
$4,O00,O00 that will be raised during
the two years by the state common
school levy of 1876 mills, this item
bringing the total revenue to be rails.
ed for state purposes by direct tax
alton to nearly $17,OOO,OOO in two
years, or about $S,5OO,OOO annually.
While no official figures are avail
able at this time, it is known that
the other direct taxes in the state
municipal, port district, road dis
trict, school district and the lke)
will bring the total taxes to be paid
by the people of the state up to the
neighborhood of $30,000,000 each
year. or nearly s6O,OOO,OO0 for the
biennium Calculating the popula
tion of the state a million and d
quarter, this means an annual tax OF
nearly $25 for every man, woman and
child in the state.
The figures just compiled by the
bureau of inspection, and which Gov
er only the operation of the state
government, having nothing to dc
with municipal, county or district
governments, show that the estimates
of the various departments on theil
revenues for the biennium total SIG,
1S2,791, while appropriations total
ing $16,1S7,354 are asked agains
them This does not include the
state school tax.
Direct taxes are estimated to pro
duce a little in excess of $5,000,000 fol

years, the levy having been fixed b!
the state board of equalization a
2.45 mills. The indirect revenues TO
the general fund are estimated a
nearly $3,OO0,OOO, while delinquen
taxes bring the general fund total es

A prominent feature of the CON

revenues accruing last bienniun

Music lovers of Grays Harbor are
promised treat next Tuesday night
at the Grand theater, when the musi-
cal talent on the Harbor will unite in
grand Music Festival, in the pre-
paration of which Prof. S. Wetteland
has spent months of hard work.
While the greater part of the pro.
gram is to consist of vocal choral
work, instrumental music has not
been neglected by any means, and
an orchestra under, the direction OF
r. D. Payton, most of whose members
will be the regular players in the
Grays Harbor orchestra, will fur
nish the accompaniments to the vo-
cal numbers.
Prof. Wettelands motive has been
to assemble musicians of Hoquiam
and Aberdeen who have been too
prone to confine the exercise of their
talents to their home circles. The
plOicSSOI D COuNlCllO tlidI MUM SCuiN
be done by inducing these singers
to enter choral work already has
been justified by rehearsals.
There are wonderful possibilities
in male chorus work. said Prof
Wetteland this morning, land the
public will see my view demonstrat
ed next Tuesday evening. The male
chorus will include about 40 good
voices.
There will be % men in the or
chestra, and l have arranged to ex
tend the pit for their accommoda
ton by moving the orchestra railing
to build a tribunal piano on the
stage. The only instrumental sole
will be one violin number. There
will be plenty of variety to the pro
gram, however
There will be choruses by men
mixed choruses and very goot
womens quartette. Quite a number
4 of the singers will be from Hoquian
and one of the women sOloists vii
be from Elma. 1t is really Gray'
