A local column riffs on Grays Harbor ambitions with a optimistic slogan and vast timber reserves on the Olympic Peninsula. It tucks in a rural fable about milking a cow and applies it to Aberdeen businessmen who blame others for slow business.
A section on B street toward the water works has been paved with old planks three times since February 1. The road is now nearly impassable, a Packard vehicle stripped its gears crossing it, and the piece laments city workers for waste and incompetence.
Officials warn the state and county Quinsault highway risks deterioration as it remains unlevelled. If not graded this season a gravel surfacing may cost about $35,000, after an original $100,000 expenditure. Prompt action is urged to avoid large future expenses.
The piece condemns the La Follette Shipping Law as harming American steam freighters. It notes the Pacific Mail sale of ships Mongolia Manchuria Siberia Korea and China as a wake up call to Congress and warns that failure to modify the law will drive deep sea vessels from the flag. It questions the competence of lawmakers and denounces party political spin.
The article reflects on Adam Schubert's suicide after setting fire to his business. It links his death to his alleged Socialist and anarchist beliefs, arguing such ideologies led to ruin and warning others to reconsider their stance and the consequences of law breaking.
The piece argues that taxation is a shared burden, urging honest public spending and better tax valuation.
