The Aberdeen Herald, a semi weekly paper published on Mondays and Thursdays from 309 East Wishkah Street, lists editor Mgr J. Carney and the Aberdeen Printing Co. It notes delivery issues, ad copy deadlines, and subscription rates with payments and cash in advance options.
The Herald defends its circulation claim and denounces tariff policies as the root of government and economic evils. It cites the Aberdeen World editorial arguing high tariffs empower big business, critique Roosevelt for avoiding tariff revision, and note Taft’s handling of the issue.
In a sharp turn Roosevelt returns to attack tariff bosses and uses funds from George Perkins to fuel the campaign. The piece frames the tariff revision as a scientific yet partisan push led from the capital.
The Hoquiam Trades and Labor council denounces Federal Judge Hanford for revoking Leonard Olsson’s citizenship. The group accuses I. W. W. agitators of maintaining Hoquiam headquarters and mobilizing union members for a planned strike on August 1, with activity at Blagen's mill and a conspicuous headquarters sign.
The Aberdeen state convention saw Roosevelt delegates in the majority while Taft supporters sought to control seating through contested delegations. The Progressives refused to join the dirty fight as two conventions formed and the aim appeared to be “rule or ruin.” Observers say a fair seating could have shifted the state to the progressives or prompted a new party if GOP rule persisted.
Steve A. Girard of 2217 Aberdeen Avenue Hoquiam sustained head and shoulder injuries when a shafting section fell from overhead at the Slade mill Friday. He was removed to his home for recovery.
Tacoma Ledger correspondent writes Ed Benn played host at last week’s convention. Benn kept calm amid quarrels and crowd noise, praised the turnout, and claimed Aberdeen would be a great city if only one convention had occurred. He quips that all attendees could be satisfied and that visitors were happy with the event.
The new boulevard ten blocks long from Laura street in North Aberdeen to Think of Me hill was completed Saturday evening. The 60 foot wide road winds to the hilltop loop offering a river and harbor panorama. City Engineer Ewart oversaw plans funded by local property owners led by Jay D. Crary and others. A Pioneer Hill name may replace Think of Me after city acceptance, with a potential crest park as a future resort.
De Molai Commandery No. 6 Knights Templar held their customary devotional exercises on Ascension Sunday at the Congregational church with Rev Charles McDermoth conducting the Templar Liturgy and services of the occasion.
The Aberdeen Herald reprints Bruce Rogers letter denouncing I W W grafters and their threats. It cites Col Harry Weinstock findings in San Diego and argues the anarchists seek to bankrupt employers and seize factories, urging locals to oppose the movement. The piece frames the letter as a danger to law and order and warns of a planned August 1 strike.
Ben Averill, vice president of Aberdeen Lumber & Shingle Co., bought J. B. Haynes ranch near Montesano for 12000. The 43 acre bottom land property includes a fine house and barn. Haynes had owned it about four years, investing in improvements and crops, yielding a handsome profit.
The Mary Trask chapter of the Presbyterian church hosted a touring supper at four host homes. Each dining room was arranged to represent a different part of the world, with Mrs. W G Powell Mrs H Beckenhauer Mrs F H Russ and Mrs E B Crary serving as hosts in Beitley.
A terse request from Aberdeen Printing Co asks readers to spread positive word if satisfied and to report dissatisfaction directly if not. The note emphasizes customer feedback and future service quality.
