According TO the figures Of the War de-
partment officials the transport Senator, on
board OF which is the Fifty-first Iowa,
should arrive in San Francisco October IL
or 10. The transport will not stop at Hon
oulu, that would require four or five
days more to make the trip No word has
as yet been received of the arrival OF the
transport at Yokohama and it was due there
today.
The Senator is a comfortable transport
and has on board 796 privates and 40 officers
of the Iowa regiment, besides number OF
civilians. 1t is declared that the men on
board have more comfortable quarters than
any transport which has yet sailed from
the Philippine islands. Preparations for the
journey were made for week before the
transport sailed and every part of the ship
was renovated and oyerhauled.
The only difference from the calculations
of the quartermasters' department which
can be made is the length Of the stay in
Yokohama, which lasts all the way from
one to three days The men are always
given shore leave to stretch their legs and

SUCCESS with the manufacture of
grain sacks from flax tow at the Wash
ington penitentiary has given rise to a
revival of interest in the question of
utilizing fax for fibre in the north
west says the West Coast Trade. The
experiment conducted at the state
mandatory produced sacks which in
strength and durability are pronoun-
ced under practical test, superior to
those made from the imported jute
article, and the possible substitution
is being discussed. Nearly half mil
lion dollars is annually spent for jute
sacks which might be used for giving
the flax fiber industry decided lift
were the entire sack consumption of
the-northwest to be supplied from the
home product. The penitentiary
spends perhaps $4,000 a year for jute
alone, which might be diverted to the
fiaxen substitute with the expenditure
of a few thousand dollars for machin-
cry to convert the fiber into tow.

The guns had just ceased their deep roar
And the great Spanish battleship lying
All riddled ard running with gore.
Had flown the white flag of submission;

Elate with their victory's fruition,
Were beginning like madmen to cheer.

The shouting and tumult grew still,
And standing in silence unbroken.
All felt quick. generous thrill

For fosmen so suffering, so brave,
And FASTENED, each man In his station,
To bind up their wounds. and to save.

Influx of Cheap Labor.

If the immigration law is being
faithfully enforced and there is no EVIL
dence to the contrary. and the asser-
tions of the federal officials that 1t is,
the coming into the country by the
hundreds of japanese coolie laborers
is sufficient evidence that the law
should be amended.
Travellers over the various railway
lines in the coast states that major
ity of the laborers seen are japanese
coolies. That they are coming into
the country by the hundreds, the rec
ords of Tacoma and other ports will
show. That too many are coming is
recognized by all citizens who have
the welfare of the American working
man at heart.
The Lodge immigration bill! will put
a stop to this influx of cheap labor.
If it will not cover the case, then it
should be made more prohibitive, but
at any rate the horde of cheap laborers
coming to the United States should be

his mother, too. Their voices were

$3.50 per day, and the employees are
charged board.
Carpenters So to So per day.
Ordinary labor $l.50 to 81;

The nature of work, the skill Of
workman, and condition of the mark
ct makes a difference in wages.

A house in Shelton rents from IS
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 a
year or two for keeping them up.
FUEL.
Wood is burned almost entirely.
Fir wood sell at 80 cents to 81. 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.

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-off lands, some of
which are we'll situated for agricultur-
al purposes, which are offered for sale
at prices ranging from 81 to SIS per
acre on the and 10 year contract
plan, which is very reasonable.
We advise homeseekers that the
best and cheapest plan for them is to
find a partly improved ranch and buy
it, where they will find everything
ready to begin making living. This
is a 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..
