TO WHOM MAY CONCERN.

Miss Helen NJ Mason has been a
most Efficient, earnest and devoted Of
fflcer of the B c c, her whole time
having been given to it from an early
date in its history She has worked
much overtime, and this she did TN
complainingly for month after month.
When all the other national officers
had grown weary she remained at her
post, true to the cause, and she has
rendered most valuable aid in contin-
uing the work and in making effective
the efforts of chose who have sought
to extend the usefulness of the B c c.
For all her endless toll and devotion
to duty, she has had a bare main
tenance, and the present national Of
ficers feel that she should have further
reeompense, slightly in keeping with
the value of her services, but they can
see only one way by which they may,
IN some measure, reward a most wor-
thy member, and that is the follow
ing plan: We propose to give Miss
Mason 20 per cent of all subscriptions
taken for Industrial Freedom on the
goth day of Dec. 1898. Now how
many will help us do simple justice to
one of our most faithful and devoted
workers?
Do not forget the date, and be sure
to make special and prolonged eff
fort to send us as large list as posi-
bic all dated Dec. 20, 1898.

feel more like writing personal letter

have not the authority to give the names

entire site offered and put the whole thing
22O acres-into cooperative hands along with
the 400 other acres offered And from the
complexion OF number of other letters [
have it looks as though we would not have to
let this offer stand out long.
We have some disadvantages in line of
transportation, but our facilities in other di-
rections more than offset them.
number of Lewis county people, per-
fectly familiar with the location consider it
the best location for a colony obtainable, and
are arranging to enter the same. This GER
tainly should be evidence of its merits. A
number of trades with citizens here are in
the embryo, and we feel sure we will succeed
in securing fouc or five estimable people from
this county by spring.
Now it seems everybody has heretofore
held back for someone else to make the start,
but now the ice is broken why not let's have
not only the site fully paid but have small
portable saw mill to make lumber for build
ing purposes for our own use and some Gus
tom trade Then later a big mill of 10000
capacity to locate at head of navigation, a few
miles below us, to which logs and single bolts
can be driven from the upper Cowlitz and Til
ton rivers to be manufactured into lumber
and shingles for market. This will give us
the open markets of the Pacific ocean, as the
Cowlitz flows into the Columbia river below
Portland. Large quantities of cedar and fir
grow along these rivers and men who are so
inclined and strong can labor in cutting said
timber and float it down to the mill.
AS we grow in wealth and can do so, we
can establish cooperative stores and restau-
raats, both above and below our present site.
We now have several offers to trade for our
fruit farm in California, some of which are
very desirable holdings. All who are inter-
ested should send in their proposals before
Dec %, with complete descriptions and ref
erences.
Now, comrades, two more at 800 will pay
off the mortgage. Who will be next? Iwish
| could talk to every one of you personally.

Cooperative Insurance.

We now have over $1,000 worth of prop
erty liable to destruction by fire. Such loss
would seriously cripple our work. In a few
weeks we will have system of waterworks
affording much protection. AT present we
have no protection at all. Hence we call on
each of our more than 1900 members to sub
scribe for as many of the 81 shares of insurance
fund as he can pay on short notice. No money
is to be paid in; but in case of fire each will
be called on in proportion to the amount of
his subscription. Send in your letters at
once, stating how much you will take. We
don't want to pay eXtortionate rates to the
old-line companies, and so ask our own men,
beers to carry this risk on their own future
homes. There will thus be no expense at all,
except in case of loss and then merely enough
money to replace.
