Stewart offers land for city park and reservoir site
Mrs. Jean B. Stewart proposes to give 40 acres near Aberdeen for park use and potential reservoir. She would lease the land perpetually if the city pays $1,000 annually for ten years to improve it. She argues a lease is safer than a deed, preventing future donor interference while the city maintains the park.

A 15 pound lead cannon ball, found buried four to five miles north of Montesano by road workers, is on display in Pickerings window.
