The Aberdeen Herald lists subscription rates and discounts for advance payment and notes it is the oldest paper on Grays Harbor with the largest circulation in Chehalis county. Advertising contracts are based on circulation claims and funds may be forfeited if claims are not true.
City paper defends itself against Grays Harbor Gazette criticisms of county printing contracts. It cites past bids, delays in court actions, and claims the Gazette misstates costs and delays while praising its own circulation and legal positions. The column also notes broader political tensions and a wager about Chinese exclusion law.
The Aberdeen Herald condemns Councilman Benn's proposal to move the pumping station into the city core. The plan would require two engines and dynamos with long power lines, offering little real saving and risking water supply and road access for Wishkah river loggers and farmers.
The comprehensive Aberdeen Fire Department annual report praises efficiency, notes 20 fires with $15,695 losses, and $6,010 insured. It urges electric alarm, a new hose house near D and Market, suction pipes at docks, and clear alleys, plus keeps a fire bell tower idea for faster alerts.
The document notes Bell's charges likely reflect more than the stamp sale allegation and predicts further charges during his term. It suggests a wider push to influence reappointment and hints at political maneuvering as the Daily Bulletin endorses J. B ridges for congress with frost warnings ahead of spring.
A letter to Prof. W. B. Wilson dated January 15, 1902, reports two treatments of his magnetic therapy curing grip symptoms. The writer, W. L. Helling, says he felt no better for two weeks before seeking treatment and then recovered perfectly without medicine.
A notice offers rewards for accurate information on timber cutting and trespass on specified lands in Chehalis County covering multiple townships and sections. The notice lists numerous parcel descriptions and names George L. Fierrez of Detroit Michigan as the issuer or contact.
The Pullman Company offers "Pullman Ordinary Sleepers" built like regular sleepers but with minimal furnishings and light housekeeping.

Craig, General Passenger Agent, O. R. & N. Co., Portland, Oregon.
