Facts About Mason Co. Washington.

The editor receives many inquiries
from people in all sections of the Un-
ION, as to industries, wages, lands, ETC.,
and to obviate the necessity of writ
ing letters, the following general re-
plies have been prepared. The Editor
will add further information, but en-
quirers should always send stamps.
WAGES.
Logging camp wages range from $2
So. so per day. and the employees are
charged board.
Carpenters - to So per day.
Ordinary labor $3.50 to So;
Woodworkers $3.50 to So;
Farm labor 500 to $25. per month /;
The nature of work, the skill Of
workman, and condition of the mark
ct makes difference in wages.
RENTS.
A house in Shelton rents from $5
to $40; some poorer buildings are
cheaper, but good comfortable d vel
ling brings $S to $40. Houses are
scarce here.
There are some farms and ranches
which can be rented cheap. and one
or two places, which can be had for
year or two for keeping them up.
Wood is burned almost entirely.
Fir wood sell at 80 cents to ST.. per
rick (half cord) delivered. Hard wood
alder and maple will cost little more.
On the ranches and away from town
wood costs the cutting.
LIVING.
The cost of living in section is very
moderate. very few things being much
higher than in the East, and many
much lower.
Best -four is 80 cents to 81. per sack.
Butter, Is to 80 cents, according to
season.
Eggs, Is to 80 cents according to
season.
Potatoes and other vegetables, % to
90 cents per bushel.
Fruits and vegetables are becoming
very plentiful, producing heavily, and
are within the reach of all.
LAND PRICES.
Practically no good vacant land
convenient to settlement, is available
for homesteaders. The Northern Pa
cific and the Mill companies own large
bodies of logged-of lands, some of
which are we'll situated for agricultur-
al purposes, which are offered for sale
at prices ranging from 81 to So per
acre on the 5 and 10 year contract
plan, which is very reasonable.
We advise homeseekers that the
best and cheapest plan for them is to
find partly improved ranch and buy
it, where they will find everything
ready to begin making living. This
is good section for workers, and idlers
and people who are not willing to
work are not wanted There are good
openings for milling, or other business,
or intelligent farming IN Mason Co.,
but no one should come without suffi-
cient means to secure a start.

Chats Different.

Six years in the penitentiary for
stealing twenty chickens was the
sentence recently passed by judge
Of Kansas City, Kansas. But the
cashier Of bank who stole S84 900
Of the peoples money was given
one year and the chances seem to
favor his getting out Of that.
The chickens were propably
worth about IS, SO that the steal
ing of the banker amounted to
about 1880 times those Of the
chicken thief, and had his sentence
been as long in proportion as his
less ambitious neighbor, his term
would have been a matter of mere
ly thousand years or SO.
We suppose the purpose Of this
judicial discrimination is to foster
spirit of enterprise to supply an
incentive. The chicken thief got
six years for stealing 50 little, the
banker got one year because he did
not steal more. If the man who
stole the chickens had stolen q
railroad or organized a bond syndi-
cate he would have been called a

manner in which the reports of the
counties are made. Monday, Jan.
Srd, was the last day for the pay
ment Of taxes. Payment is gener-
ally put off until the last moment.
Consequently but little of the taxes
were paid in the last quarter. Most
of the counties reported the bulk of
their collections in that quarter,
but in two cases the reports did
not include the late payments.
The exceptions are Ada and Can

Soldiers BONE Report.

Charles A. Clark, superintendent
Of the soldiers home, has submitted
to tho board of trustees the third
annual report of the institution.
Some extracts from the report are
subjoined:
During this three years 139
veteran soldiers have been admit
ted. OF this number II have died
6 per cent of the whole), and 80
have been discharged. The re-
naming membership is 89,of whom
n are present at the date of this
report. Nearly all the members
spend the winter at the home, but
fully one third take care Of them
selves during the summer month";.
"The average cost of maintenance
per man has steadily decreased and
is row lower than in any other
soldiers home in the United States
Of similar membership.
"The cost per man in this home
in 1895 was officially reported at
1908 %; in 1896, s300.13; in 1897,
| 1923. The last official report
issued by the United States gov
ernment showed five other homes
with less than 100 members pre-
sent, and the expense given in each
case was as follows; Colorado, SIS
men, $278.98 per man per year;
New Hampshire, II men, $206.49;
North Dakota, 20 men, 1921 .16;
Oregon, SIS men, $206.25; Vermont,
IS men, 1922 IS. When it is re-
membered that everything We use
except meat, fruit and vegetables,
is brought from other states, man

tirely across the continent, it il
clear that nothing is left undone in
this institution to preserve the pa

ers from waste or misuse.
Including all sums expended
for repairs and maintenance of the
buildings, equipment and grounds
the total cost Of supporting this
home during 1897 was $11,s292

BoIsE, Idaho, Jan. 25, 1885
Dear Sir: On the first of next June
the Trans-Mississippi and Interna-
tional exposition will be Inaugural
ted. This exposition, while inter-
national in scope, still is designa-
ted to be especially illustrative of
the resources, products and indus
tries Of the western portion of the
United States. 10 this great ex-
position during the five months of
its continuance, will come hundreds
of thousands of people to learn
about the trans. Mississippi and in
termountain region. The POSSIBLE
ties thus afforded for advertising
the resources of our state by having
there n suitable exhibition of its
products, should not, in my opinion
be overlooked We certainly can
not afford to be the only western
state not represented at this great
exposition.
Our legislature has made no APP
preparation for this purpose and it
is consequently necessary that
ways and means be devised TO make
| possible efeditable showing. The
result of my inquiries about the
matter has convinced me that the
magnitude Of the coming exposition
at Omaha has net been exaggerated
and the Importance of having our
State properly represented can
hardly be oyerestimated We want
people and capital and to get them
must advertise our resources. Al
though no state funds are available
for this work | have nevertheless
determined to appoint q state com
mission with the hope and expect
alton that its members will be able
to devise ways and means to enable
Idaho to take advantage of the OPP
portunities now presented.
I have been pleased to name the
following citizens as constituting
the Idaho commission of the Trans.
Mississippi and International ex.
position, and to request them &c
meet at the state capitol in Boise
Idaho, at 10 o'clock on Tuesday
Feb. |, 1905 for the purpose o.
formulating plans for the carrying

lecture on astronomy.

Several days ago few gentlemen
asked Rev. Hendricks to deliver a
lecture for the benefit Of the people
on astronomy, similar to the one
given by him some years ago at
Boise, and which was attended by
a large number of the Capitol citi.
zens. It was pronounced the best
of its kind ever delivered in the
state. During the last few years
the reverend gentleman has been
adding to his KIN wled9e In this
line and his next effort will far ex-
coed the last one. The committee
having the affair IN charge will
make definite announcement next
week.
The EXAMINER hopes all will take
an interest in this matter for q
great treat is in store for all who
attend. Here are the subjects Rev.
Hendricks will speak on.

STRIKE OF PRfSSMfN
SCARCELY SHOWS THE SIGNS OF
SUCCESS
The Printers Promise to Keep at Work
and the Apprentices Do
the Rest

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5-The pro-
prietors of the San Francisco newspapers are
still confronted with the problem caused by
the striking pressmen and the citizens are
still confronted with the possibility OF hav-
ing no newspapers at the time when interest
will be keenest in learning the result of the
election. In choosing this time for stl1k-
ing, the pressman hoped so to embarrass the
proprietors OF newspapers as to force COM
pliance with their demands, but the pub
fishers are determined not to yield, even If
days. The proprietors believe that the
| strikers will receive no moral support from
the public, especially at this political crisis.
No paper will be published unless all are
printed, the publishers agreeing to stand or
fall together.
When the pressmen walked out thev also
| induced most of the stereotypers to follow
their example. They hoped to persuade the
| printers to strike also, but none of the type
| to leave their work, and the employers are
confident the printers will remain loyal.
The afternoon papers issued only one edi-
tion again today, appearing shortly before
o'clock. All the trouble was with the Re-
port, the Bulletin and Post having their men
well in hand, but Withholding their papers
out of sympathy.
| The striking stereotypers boasted tonight
that the morning papers would not appear
tomorrow, but the proprietor OF each OF the
| three papers declares that his journal will be
out on time in the morning and of the usual
size. In one of the offices the work is being
done by apprentices and in another the
superannuated veterans have been brought
| back to direct matters, while the lahorious
part of the work has been performed by
managing editors and special writer's.
