and to obviate The necessity Of writ
ing letty5s: 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 So
$3.50 per day, and the employees are
charged board.
Carpenters 50 to So per day.
Ordinary labor $l.50 to So;
Woodworkers 81 so to So:
Farm labor $40. to $25. per month;
The nature of work, the skill Of
workman, and condition of the mark

RENTS.

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 81. per
| rick (half cordD 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, 10 to 80 cents, according to
season.
Eggs, Is to 30 cents according to
season.
Potatoes and other vegetables, Is to
so 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 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 partly improved ranch and buy
1T, where they will find everything
ready to begin making a living. This
is good section for workers, and idlers
and people who are not willing to
work are not wanted. There are gol
openings for milling, or other business,
or intelligent farming IN Mason Co.,
but no one should come without suffi-
cient means to secure start.

Durham, n c., Oct. a. (Special.)-
On October 10th United States patent
was allowed and issued to Capt. j. G.
Niche, of this city, on a new invention
of his, which is an army bayonet-shovel
a soldier equipped with one Of Michie's
bayonet-shoyels, hanging on a hook at
tached to his waist belt can detach it
from his belt and attach to his bayonet as
quickly as a civilian can draw glove
from his pocket and put it on his hand.
The infantry soldier can thus provide
himself with an entrenching tool by the
use of which in ordinary soil he can in a
few minutes construct a rifle pit suffi-
cient to protect himself against rifle
shots, and even against the light artil-
lery shots of the enemy, and at the
same time from his entrenched position
can make the best use possible of his
own gun and ammunition.
The construction of the bayonet-shoyel
is simple and easily understood. 1t is
only the blade of a shovel provided with
socket made to scale, and without
any altedation whatever in the bayonet
or scabbard, the bayonet can be de-
tached from the soldiers gun and both
bayonet and scabbard inserted into the
socket of the shovel, into which it fits
nicely, and is there held firmly by q de-
vice inside the socket, and then the sol
der has shovel gready made for use.
The shovel, when On the march, and not
in use, can be carried in the hayersack
