TO RETAIN
SPAR YARD
Prompt Work by Chamber of Commerce Result.
In Decision of Chris Endresen to Keep
Present Location.
Spar Builder Will Enlarge Plant, Put in New
Machinery and Add to Product Known
All Over the World

The Chris Endresen spar yards will
remain in Aberdeen, and, under the
plans Of Mr. Endresen in which the
Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce has
actively co-operated, they are to be
greatly enlarged. With the starting OF
the Anderson shipyards and helping
to reopen the Lindstrom shipyards
this keeping of the Endresen spar
yards in Aberdeen constitutes one OF
the most material achievements in
the history of the local commercial
organization.
Until President A. c. Gaillac of the
Chamber, who had arisen from sick
bed to come to the city council meet
ing, explained to the council the
work done by the Chamber, few were
aware of the fact that the Endreser
yards were about to move to Hoquiam
a few weeks ago.
Mr.. Endresen needed more room
He was promised as much as he de
sired in Hoquiam. Our sister city
with entirely proper desire to secure
a live and growing industry, Offered
Mr.. Endresen a site for his yards

TO
PUSH WORK
ON SURVEY
City Engineer Will Rush Securing of Data From
Which Council May Decide on Dam of
Timber or of Concrete.
Wishlkah River Property Owners Want Council to
Improve Road Along Route Dedicated
in 1914 by Mrs. Stewart

Full data is to be furnished by City
Engineer L. D. Kelsey, as soon as
possible, to the city council so that
it may decide whether the dam for
the Wishkah water project shall be of
timber as originally decided, or of
concrete, as favored by Consulting
Engineer F. l.. Stannard of Portland.
The city engineer made a report,
at Wednesday nights council session,
on the work of surveying the pipe line
now under way. Three field parties
were put to work Monday, and on
Wednesday each was increased to
eight men and cook. One party is
working from the intake to Big creek !;
one from Big creek to the Wishkah
forks; and the third, members of
which are living in the city, from the
reservoir north.
The work is being done under diff
culties, stated Mr.. Kelsey, from the
intake to Big creek, in transporting
equipment and supplies. This is due
to the fact that, when the Hulet dam
went out, the released water swept out
the wagon bridge over Big creek, max
ing it necessary to follow the river

bed, a couse which is possible only
when the Wishkah Boom company'&
dam is closed.
Fifty-three property owners along
the Wishkah river filed petition for
the improvement of the Wishkah road
along the route dedicated by Mrs. Jean
B. Stewart in 1914. A resolution, In
accordance with the terms of the pc
tition was adopted and, with the Pc
tition, referred to the Aberdeen Cham
ber of Commerce which will take up
the matter of securing funds from the
county commissioners.
The matter of renewing or Of en-
tering into new contracts for swing
ing the North Aberdeen and Heron

Phillips and the street commissioner
The General Package Manufacturing
company was given permission to put

sidewalk from M to Washington was
referred. Ordinance providing for the

ly busted themselves in arguments to

and name for himself in all parts of
the earth, to show him the wisdom
of remaining in Aberdeen.
The city council, at Wednesday
nights meeting, showed quick appre.
citation of the situation. With little
discussion, the council acceded to Mr..
Gaillac's request that the Endresen
yards be given 15-year lease of the
foot of Clark street, at nominal
rental. probably, of 81 year. There
Mr.. Endresen will make his dock, the
city retaining right of use if needed.
His location, on the three great rail-
ways, is ideal for marketing his pro.
duct-a product that has brought de-
sirable publicity to Aberdeen and

council decided to advertise the rent

Remedy is the same as for COM

Black-leg, a serious disease, can
be controlled by seed selection
and treatment. The symptoms
are marked by the upward roll
ing and yellowing of the young
or half grown plants and by the
black, shriveled condition of the
stem from the seed to above the
ground. The cause is a bacterial
organism carried in the seed
potato. This disease is spread
ing in the northern states and
has appeared in a few instances
in this community. 1t is advis-
able to discard all bruised and
cracked tubers and when cutting
reject all tubers which show any
discolored areas in the flesh, par
ticularly those that show Drowned
or blackened rings at the stem
end. No matter how slight, this
disease can be detected in the
field. Plants affected should be
gathered with root and top and
burned.

the most destructive diseases in
the New England and North

clipped from an exchange, hits
the nail on the head: Young
man, don't swear. There is no
occasion for it outside of a print

the paper is behind time. It also
comes in handy for proof-reading
and is indispensable when the ink
work is bad and the press begins
to buck. 1t has been known to

Of an editor when he looks over
