Sheriff Bartell and Aberdeen
Officers Take 1900 Quarts
On Steamer Doris
BIGGEST HAUL MADE YET
Nine Men, Engineer, Assist
ants, Firemen, Steward
Waiter Plead Guilty

What appears to have been part of
a plan to stock up bootleggers with
whiskey for the anticipated Fourth of
July trade on Grays HarbOr received
a jolt Sunday afternoon, when more
than 1900 quarts Of that liquor were
seized on board the steamer Doris,
at the F. G.. Foster Co. dock in Ho-
quiam, and nine members of the crew
were fined $50 and costs each.
The raid was started at about
o'clock, shortly after the arrival of
the vessel. and it was after S o'clock
before the officers finished. The
whiskey was found almost all over
the ship under the floor of the
engine room, the galley, in storage
space aft and in many hooks and cor
ners. The officers had received in
formation that the Doris would carry
a large consignment of whisky and
the search therefore was thorough. In
addition to the five Hoquiam police
officers, Sheriff jeff Bartell and Dep
uty Gibson from Montesano, and two
officers from Aberdeen took part and
Louis Grout, one of the Hoquiam fire.
men, assisted by driving the city auto
to and from the vessel with loads of
liquor. He made eight trips before
all had been transferred
News that the raid was in pro-
gress spread quickly about the city
and crowd gathered, filling the
available space on the dock by men
and women. AS the whiskey came.
from the vessel it was piled in three
big piles and the presence of the
crowd made necessary extra vigilance
by the officers.
There were 100 cartons containing
six bottles each and 81 sacks with
about 16 bottles in each, and the con-
traband filled an automobile eight
times in its conveyance to police head
quarters.
The captain denied any knowledge
of the liquor on board and his denial
was accepted, although it's acceptance
compelled the belief that the skipper
must have paid small attention to his
ship in the loading port, when such
wet cargo could be smuggled on
board without his knowledge.
The mate, engineer and two assist
ant engineers, two firemen and the
steward and the waiter were taken
into custody, and all Of them plead
guilty in the Justices courts of Aber-
deem and Hoquiam and paid the fine.
J. Christopher, who is said to be a
solicitor for the sale of liquor in the
Harbor cities, was held under SIS bail
pending an investigation.

Council, By Ordinance, For
bids Sale Of Colic Drops
In the Future, Too
CARD TABLES LICENSED
Games For Root Beer Must
Stop at Stroke Of Mid
night Under New Law

Drinking or eating certain patent
mericines of hallowed memories, and
card playing, for cigars, soft drinks
or just for fun, after midnight, are
Wednesday nights council session.
In future, when an Aberdeen citizen
walks into drug store and asks, two
nights in succession, for a bottle of
Jamaica ginger, the druggist will not
smile derisively. He will not smile
at all, in fact: nor, metaphOrically,
will the thirsting customer. Sales of
Jamacia ginger are barred, under the
ordinance. So are sales of collie drops,
or of Hoffman drops. They are intoxi-
eating. Councilman Warren Egerer
has discovered the fact; or someone
has told him. Anyway, the ordinance
was introduced by Egerer as chairman
of the police committee.
Card playing in public resorts seems
likely to wane, under the terms of the
other ordinance introduced by the
police committee. Establishments in
which are card tables hereafter must
pay S. year license. The card tables
must not be used after midnight or
before a. m. No longer will it be
considered unsportsmanlike for man,
six root beers ahead in the game at
II: IS, to plead that his wife is waiting
up for him. The game perforce must
break up in five minutes, anyway.
Other business before the council
was of routine order. Although one
councilman at least said he had plan
ned to attend barbecue next Sunday,
the council as a body accepted an in
vitation to attend divine services that
day at st. Andrews church from Rev.
F. F. w. Greene. 1t will be patriotic
service, in response to request from
Federal Food Commissioner Hoover.
Application from the city treasurer's
office for new adding machine was
turned down, the finance committee
advising that the expense should not
be incurred until the new budget
comes up for attention.
A resolution was passed providing
for building 16-foot planked road on
Young street from the North Aberdeen
bridge to the cemetery. July 25 is set
as a date for protest, and it is known
that Young street property owners,
many Of whom still seem to think that
the city, or property owners in other
districts, should pay for the streets
improvement, are preparing protest.
Payday was set for July rather
than the fifth, as is customary, in or
der that city employees may have
their wages for the Fourth of July
celebration.

NORTH RIVER ASKS
TRAIN SERVICE

Residents Of the North River valley
numbering 200 have Joined in a re-
quest to the O.-W r. & N. Co. TO

is set forth that the service would
pay more than its cost from the traf-
fic of the farmers, shingle mill en-
ployes and loggers. A cheese factory
is projected in the valley which con-
tains some of the richest agricultural
land in this part Of hte state, the de-
velopment Of which would be mate

Aberdeen Contributes Nearlv
so Per Cent More Than
SIG, 900 Asked
2,2OO SUBSCRIBERS IN LIST
Full Returns Are Not In From
All Local Manufacture
ing Plants

The total of Aberdeens subscrip-
fund is between $2S,100 and 2S,200.
according to the last compilation of
figures at the Chamber of Commerce
headquarters of the local campaign
The total number of subscribers was
about $4,000. The reason, explains
Secretary w. l.. Morris of the Cham
ber, that absolute figures are not yet
Obtainable is that last returns have
not yet come in from some of the
local lumber mills. Subscription lists
were passed around among workmen
at these plants in the closing days of
the campaign, and were very gener-
ally signed. The amounts will be de-
Quoted from the pay checks at the end
of the month.
OF the entire $2S,1O0, or so, that
was subscribed in answer to Presi-
dent Wilson's call for $1OO,OOO,OOO for
the Red Cross. Aberdeen's quota being
was paid in cash during the campaign
and in the few days that have elapsed
since the close, last Monday night,
of the active campaign. The $3.50
is covered by pledges signed by good,
reliable names, which will be paid in
to the Hayes & Hayes bank during
the next 80 days, as provided in regu-
lations from the national Red Cross
headquarters in Washington, D. c.
While memoranda receipts were
given to subscribers during the cam
paign, official receipts will be mailed
to them, too. 1t will require a few
days more to issue these latter, the
accounting required by the national
Red Cross committee, while not COM
plex, being a painstaking work of
checking and re-checking subscrip-
tions.
The general committee for Aber-
van, Sr, and S. X. Bowes, and the
ten teams of eleven men each who
made the canvas of the city, did a
very thorough job. While some per-
sons who would probably have liked
to subscribe, were doubtless over
looked, their number cannot be great.
The subscription list, it is felt, is re-
preventative Of all classes of citizens,
of all industries and sections.
In the same thorough manner, ac-
cording to reports from other cities
and towns. was all of Grays Harbor
county and the district composed Of
this county and Thurston and Mason
counties covered. A total Of about
800 900 was secured from the three
counties, their apportionment being
$65 900. Hoquiam, it is likely, has
oversubscribed her $16,5O0 apportion-
ment by between $500 and $4,000;
Montesano nearly doubled her appor-
tionment; and Elma, McCleary, Ma
lone and other east end towns have
exceeded their quotas by considerable
sums.

Totally Destroyed By
Fire Tuesday Evening
HAD NO FIRE PROTECTION
City Water Not Piped to Mill
and Bad Road Prevents
Firemen Reaching 1t

quiam, were totally destroyed by fire
Tuesday evening, the loss being esti-
mated at $150,O00, with about $780,

could not reach the scene, owing to
the condition of the Riverdale road
Fire was discovered shortly after
crew had departed and only Night
Watchman C. o. Gelden, few mill
wrights and men working overtime
remained According to H. L. Oliver
who operates a grocery in Woodlawn
near the mill, flames had entirely en-
veloped the main mill plant within
20 minutes after the blaze was dis
covered.
The mill was not equipped with an
automatic sprinkling system and city
water is not piped to that district
The water supply for the mill and dis
trict is obtained from springs on the
hill beyond and had low pressure
1t was pumped over by pump in the
engine room and this was operated
and water thrown upon the fire for
time but the flames put the pump out
of commission and removed the last
means of fighting the flames in less
than half an hour Thereafter the
fire burned unhindered
Seven loaded box cars were in two
loading sheds at the mill when the
IRE started and five of these were
saved by the prompt action of the
Northern Pacific switching crew un-
der direction of Switchman Foreman
"bub' Ryan. The engine made a
run Tor the fire from it's station in
the railroad yardA. One car already
was completely enveloped in flames
and was uncoupled and left to it's fate.
but four others were brought out un-
injured. One of the two cars under
the other shed was on fire but a run
ming connection was made and il was
hauled down to the foor of Seventh
street where the fire department could
get action and the fire in it was ex-
tinguished after long fight.
u One of the present stockholders Is
quoted as saying that the owning COM
ypany would not rebuild the plant, but
That negotiations were in progress that
if successful will result in the mill
being rebuilt by other parties.
