Facts About Mason Co. Washington.

The editor receives many inquiries
from people ia all sections Of the I'm
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.
80. WAGES.
Logging camp wages range from 81
$3.50 per day, and the employees are
charged board.
Carpenters 50 to So per day.
Ordinary labor $I.5O to So;
Woodworkers $1.5 to So:
Farm labor $40. 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 IS
to $40; some poorer buildings are
cheaper, but good comfortable d vel
ling brings So 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.
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 flour 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, Is to
80 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
cifc 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 ST. to $5 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
1T, 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-
clent means to secure start.

NO SLEEP FOR THREE MONTHS.
One Cause of SIeepIessness That Can
Be Overcome.

Mr. William Handschu, of Forty sixth ST.
Cotton Alley, Pittsburg, Pa, expresses
himself as follows regarding the new rem
edy for that common and obstinate disease.
piles: 81 take pleasure in stating that
was so afflicted with piles that for three
months ] got no regular sleep; / became
completely prostrated, the doctors did me
no good: my brother told me of the new
remedy for piles, the Pyramid Pile Cure: |
purchased of my druggist three 5O-cent
boxes and they completely cured me. 1 am
once more at work, and but for this eX-
cellent remedy / would be on my hack.
take great pleasure in writing this letter
because SO many people are sufferers from
this trouble who like myself did not know
where to look for permanent, safe, relia-
BILE cure"
Experience with the Pyramid Pile Cure
for the past three years has demonstrated
to the medical profession as well as to
thousands of sufferers from piles that it is
the safest and most effectual pile cure ever
offered to the public, containing no opiates
or poisons of any kind, painless and con-
venient to handle, and being sold by drug
gists at so cents and 81 per box is within
the reach of every sufferer.
Very often two or three boxes have made
a complete cure Of chronic cases that had
not yielded to other remedies for years.
There is scarcely disease more aggra-
waiting and obstinate to cure than the va
rious forms of piles, and it is a common
practice to use ointments, salves. and sim
liar preparations containing dangerous
poisons TO remove the trouble. The Pyra-
mid has superseded all of these Intellectual
remedies and no one suffering with any
rectal trouble will make any mistake in
giving the Pyramid trial.
III in doubt as to the nature of your
trouble send to The Pyramid Drug Co.,
Marshall, Mich, for valuable book on
piles, describing all forms of the disease
and describing the method of cure.
Any druggist can furnish the Pyramid
Pile Cure, as it is the best known and most
popular remedy for piles, and II you ask
him he can doubtless refer you to many
people in your own vicinity who have been
cured completely by it.
