THE EMERGENCY FUND.

AT II O'Clock last night The Times Police
Emergency Fund amounted to $685.. .35. As
stated in our evening edition of yesterday.
among the days contributions was one
from the Supreme Council of the Ancient
and Accepted Scottish Rite Southern Ju-
risdiction. II was accompanied by the fol-
lowing letter:
To the Editor OF Tile Times:
cnc'CSe check for the poor fund. make it
payable To Major Sylvester. for | did not know
to whom to make il payable on your paper
believe Your idea about the distribution OF
charity is good.
Please give credit in your columns to "Su-
prcme Council Thirty-third Degree. for the
southern jurisdiction Of the United Statcs.''
FREDERICK WEBBER,
Secretary General.
Washington, February Is.
Another notable subscription was of $50
from the officers and crew of the United
States dispatch boat Dolphin. now at the
navy yard. The American sailor generally
knows what hardship and suffering are,
and his brave heart is always open TO the
petition of the hungry and destitute.
Friends and readers of The Times who
desire to contribute food. clothing or goods
of any kind will promote the emergency
movement by sending or taking such dona-
tions directly TO Police Headquarters. This
office is cheerfully willing to lend its as
sistance in receiving money for the good
cause, but will be exactly as well pleased
if it be sent TO Major Richard Sylvester
Superintendent of Police In the cases of
those who are wealthy enough to spare
considerable amounts, it would be prefera-
bic TO send them TO him directly as there
by a little time would be saved. II all
comes TO the same thing The great point
is TO get relief to the destitute without the
least unnecessary delay. The Police De-
partment has demonstrated its entire abil-
ity to stamp out extreme distress in this
community to the extent that it is fur
nished with the means, and to DO it i'm
mediately and thoroughly. The people of
Washington will not soon forget the prac-
tical charity lesson which they have
learned through the emergency created by
the great blizzard of 1899.

Generally the Right Sort of Food and

Generally the Right Sort OF Food ana
Plenty of 1t.
It is cited as one of the explanations
of Chauncey M. Depew's remarkable
youthfulness and vigor and ability to
do many things without WEAKNESS to
himself or others that he is a scientific
eater; that he knows just what to put
into his stomach and how much of it to
take. The menu at the SWEETEST ban
quet may fairly glisten with the richest
|, prizes of the chef, but DR.. Depew gives
one swift glance down its mystifying
nomencla ture, and, selecting one
probably the plainest of the lot, says:
THAT" And when others have gorged
and stuffed and feel like Christmas tree
cornucopias, the doctor is as fresh as
a summer girl and his stomach as easy
as that of he-prize baby who was
brought up on Cupid's infant food.
Much criticism has lately been direct
ed against our American hotel bills of
fare by foreign visitors, especially those
who came over last fall and winter and
went back home and wrote about their
experiences. They found too much on
the ist-tOo much sameness, too much
that was not attractive. They objected
to the necessity of selecting what they
needed, and in that they have the SYM
pathy of all good Americans, for the
average bill of fare is a test of human
patience; but it is better to have too
much than too little. And it is especial
~ not fair to gauge the American appe
tite by what is on the hotel bill of fare.
The citizen from the country who went
through the items seriatim and after
wards complained that it would have
been all right if he had stopped at the
watermelon and ice cream was not tie
average American. The people Of this
country eat much because they have
much to eat. The foreigners complain
that the habit of eating an American
breakfast is suicidal and unrefined. but
1t SO happens that the man who can eat
the American breakfast has no need of
doctors. and he is the factor who has
made this country what it is. The very
fact that we have been able to evolve
from the brOken-down and dyspeptic
and secondhand material sent to these
shores from the other side a race of su-
perlor people, with women more beau
tiful than the world had hitherto
known, with men who have done more
things than any in the worlds history.
and have been able to build up nation
greater than any on earth, is pretty
good proof that if Americans eat too
much they eat the right sort of food

Facts About Mason Go. Washington.


The editor receives many inquiries
from people-iI all sections of the I'm
lon, :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 50
$3.50 per day, and the employees are
charged board.
Carpenters 81 to So per day.
Ordinary labor $l.50 to So;
Woodworkers ST. so 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 IS 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 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 flour is 90 cents to 81. per sack.
Butter, Is to 80 cents, according to
season.
Eggs, 15 to 80 cents according to
season.
Potatoes and other vegetables, Is to
30 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-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 5, 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
1t, 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 rot wanted. There are good
openings for milling, or other business,
or intelligent farming IN Mason Co.,
but no one should come without suffi-
Gent means to secure start.

Case of Suicide at Viola.

Mrs. Ell. K. Strsttan, landlady of the
Viola house, at Viola, committed sui
eide, last Wednesday afternoon, by
shooting herself near the heart with o
revolver. The jury impaueled to hold
the inquest gave the verdict that she
came to her death by her own hand.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stratton were new peo-
pie in Viola, having moved into the
village but two months ago, soon after
purchasing the Viola house from A. W.
Guess. The unfortunate woman had
been an invalid for years, and after par
TALLY regaining her health was anxious
to engage in some active business. A
few weeks convinced her that she could
not succeed in carrying her new respon-
sib lities, but she kept persevering. All
day Wednesday she was ailing and spent
most of the day lying down. About
B o'clock in the afternoon the house
was startled by the report of revolver.
and Mrs. Stattan was found unconscious
aud dying. The remains were taken to
Toilette, Illinois for interment.
