All communications intended for this
column should be directed to Anna
Burgess, Equality, Washington.

At all hours of the day ludicious incidents
take place, and there are pathos, humor ana
stern reality mingled with our life here.
We have women of patience, of hope and
cheerfulness, and we have their opposltes,
but constant contact seems to produce, at
most times. a happy medium.
The way our carpenters give one another
away is amusing even to woman. THESE
men show some of the weaknesses OF their
sex when they tell how extremely sklllful
they are.
Our womens' meetings may not be models
of parliamentary practice, but in comparison
with some of the board pi oceedings they will
suffer little.
Enthusiastic socialists, coming here lind us
still treading the earth. We are not sus-
pended, as some seem to expect, in mid air.
Our dwellings are not in the clouds

The Fee Can Be Paid in Installments.

A friend writes to inquire if the entrance
fee can be paid in installments. We answer
yes. You c IN pay in any amount and at any
time to suit yourself. If you pay awhile and
then stop, you do not lose anything but get
full credit for whatever you have paid, no
matter how long ago. When YOU wish to be-
gin paying again, you just begin where you
left off. Parties having good machinery in
stead of cash, should write to c. w. Belknap
about it. Only those at a reasonable freight
distance from us need mention about turning
in machinery

TWO EQUALITY BOYS BREAK SILENCE
There Being Nothing Else to Break.

There Being Nothing Else TO Break.
We are only small boys, but we want to tell
you about our life in Equality. During the
vacation, between Christmas and New Years.
there was a big snow, and everybody was
hunting nails and boards for to make sleds.
Two of the big boys made a big bob sled, and
when the girls were through in the dining
room they would go and slide with the boys.
And after supper was over some of the wo-
men would go and ride. We had big Christ
mas tree on Christmas eve. School has be-
gun again, and we are all busy at our books.
In the summer time we went a fishing in the
creek and caught trout. We can go down
the bay and get oysters and clans and crabs.
The colony has five or six boats and lot of
nets. Once they were out d fishing and a big
storm came and they lost boat and big net
Tonight we are catching chickens and put
ting them in the new hen house.

A Recommendation.

In the last quarter of the nineteenth CEN
tury we see on all sides the great battle OF
spirits breaking out and being waged with
fiery vehemence. Not social science alone,
but the wide field of natural science, of hy-
giene, the history of civilization, and even
philosophy are the arsenals from which the
weapons are supplied From all sides the
foundations of existing society are being I'M
dermined. The weightiest blows are being
delt against the props of the old regime. Inc
revolutionary idea is penetrating into most
conservative circles, and carrying confusion
in the ranks of the enemies of light. Arti-
sans and scholars, agriculturists and artists,
in short men of every rank and calling are
joining the working classes, which compose
the bulk of the army that is to fight the last
fight, and mutually support and supplement
each other.
Women too. are summoned not to remain
behind in a struggle in which their own free
dom and deliverence is at stake. 1t is now
their part to show that they have compre-
hended their true position in the movement,
and that they are resolved to take their share
in the present contest for better future. 1t
is the part of the men to assist them in freez-
ing themselves from all prejudices, and to
support them in the fight. Let no one under
ate his own power or imagine that one more
or less makes no difference. No one, not even
the weakest can be dispensed with for fur
thering the advance of humanity. con-
tinual dropping hollows out the hardest stone.
And many drops make the brook, and brooks
make the stream, and streams the great river.
whose majestic course can be stopped by no
obstacle in nature. Precisely the same thing
applies to the life of civilized humanity. Ma
ture is everywhere our instructress, and If
we abide by her teachings, the final victory
must be ours. August Bebel.

We Try to Make Better Conditions.

To our friends outside | would say we have
some staunch socialists here who sometimes
paint things in the colony in a too glowing
light such for instance was the letter last
week from one of our writer's. He, like 9th
ers, paints the colony as it will be in the flu
ture, and very little it actually is to day. In
the first place we were set back by the saw
mill being put up, which took quite while,
and then logs had ID be got to the mill, which
was hard and slow work, then the donkey en-
CINE has been a long time on the way, and so
houses are not going up and we are very
crowded for room: some families OF six and
seven sleeping in one room. There is at pres
ent four rooms vacant and twenty. people are
booked for Equality, but of course more
houses will have to go up very soon. | have
been here almost year now and | find that
unless one has some money that they cannot
always have the good nourishment that they
need. We are now milking, | believe, four
cows. The sick always get enough milk, but
one needs something besides milk. Some
sickness calls for broth, eggs, etc. There
are at present 60 or 20 hens and there are
few eggs, so we need all healthy, hard work
ing men and women. The membership fee is
low and our treasury low, so that it is hard
for an invalid in the colony at present. We
will be glad when our sick babies and inval-
ids can have all the comforts necessary which
at present is almost ont of the question. We
are in the midst of pioneer life. |, like others,
love colony life, and am willing to put up
with our very simple foou and crowded rooms
and other hardships. But write this not to
discourage our friends who are preparing to
come here. but with the hope that no one will
be disappointed, as some few others have.
Our men and women are working hard and
have worked wonders in such short while.
but we want many more good socialists to
help make the colony glorious reality.
Yours for our great cause,
Helen Topmann.

duties Of getting a.source Of supply, of
originating and perfecting plans Of
construction, in building the system,
locating mains, fixing rates, etc, there
was task OF unusual magnitude. In
addition there was at times the most
active and persistent opposition to the
councils plans. Yet through il all,
whether in stormy weather or in fair
sailing, the members of the council
moved along with calm serenity and
thorough knowledge OF what they were
about. that in the end has brought
them universal praise and commenda-
ton
Other matters might be mentioned:
the careful management Of the various
telephone franchises and conflicting
interests; the able supervision q
the electric lighting system; the
attention to sidewalks and the
crossings and the preservation Of
good order on the streets aud in all
public places These are some Of the
good works Of the retiring council.

ordinances and laws Of the city have
been revised. arranged in order, a.
