Former Jasperite Writes Interestingly From Washington.

Mrs. H. L. Hendricks in writing from Hoquiam, Wash;, to renew her subscription to the Republican says: “We wouldn’t think of being without the paper, for it is just like getting a long letter from there. I notice you folks are having some pretty cold weather back there. The weather here is certainly fine, just like spring back there. We have only had a week of what the people here call cold weather, but we thought it . was just fine. The thermomefor registered 8 above zero the coldest day. But the weather is all that we likd about the country. There is scarcely any farming done here. Lumbering is the chief occupation. There f are 18 large mills here on Gray’s Harbor. We are going tomorrow to Aberdeen to see a boat that carries 7*800,000 feet of lumber. I expect that Seems like a big lot of lumber but some of the boats here carry even more. Sometimes the boats have a hard time getting out to sea, as there are a number of bars in the bay and it is hard to get the heavily laden vessels over them. We are 26 miles from the ocean. Aberdeen is 3 miles from Hoquiam, it is some larger and a better business town. Our boys both work- at Aberdeen in a large wholesale grocery house. Mr. Hendricks works in one of the lumber mills here.” It will be remembered that Mr. Hendricks and family moved to Washington from the W. V. Porter farm about a year ago. It is no economy to buy-- cheap canned goods; perhaps you have found this out. Our honey-pack “Fayette” tender Bweet corn and “Red Robin” early June peas at two cans for 25c is cheapest after all. —Home Grocery. Woman loves a clear, rosy complexion.
