IN an address at Ocean Grove, n.
j., Thursday last, Governor Roose-
welt, of New York, spoke as follows
regarding the conditions that con-
front US: just at the moment the
nation is face to face with a duty
that calls for heroism [ moan our
attitude in the Philippines. We put
our pick into the rotten foundations
of Spanish government both in the
East and West Indies. We tumbled
the buildings down in as righteous
war as was ever undertaken Now,
il We are worth our place among the
great nations of the earth, we must
see to 1t that the ruins are cleared
away and the temple of Justice and
honesty reared in their place. We
shall be guilty Of a terrible wrong to
humanity if in the Philippines we re-
treat before armed savagery instead
OF organizing suitable government,
which shall guarantee justice to
everyone and an ever-increasing
measure of liberty to those who
show themselves worthy of it. The
whole history Of the world shows
that the wrong done by the mere
sentimentalist is often of larger pro-
portions and more elastic than any
other kind of wrong, and of this
wrong we shall be guilty if we fail to
do our task thoroughly and WELL
ct will call for but the merest frac-
ton OF our strength, provided only
we choose to exert that strength. If
however, the people let their repre-
.sentatives in congress hamper the
administration as they did last win
ter when they refused to put the
army upon a proper footing as to
size, perm anence and organization,
then the people have them selves to
thank if the war fingers with difficult
ties and dangers increased. What the

Facts About Mason Co. Washington

The editor receives many inquiries
from people III all sections of the I'm
ION, as to Industries, wages, lands, etc.,

qulrers should always send stamps.
WAGES.

$3.50 per day, and the employees are
charged board.
Carpenters So to So per day.
Ordinary labor $1.50 to So;

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

to $40; some poorer buildings are
cheaper, but good comfortable dwell
ling brings So to $40. Houses are
scarce here.
There are some farms and ranches
which can be rented oneap, 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.

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 So 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
/ it, where they will find everything
ready to begin making a 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.
but no one should come without suf6-
cient means to secure start.

Cen. Joe Wheeler's Attempt to Es-
cape ON a Bogus Parole
Didn't Succeed.

Maj. George F. Barnes, the ex-coun-
Gilman, relates an interesting story
anent Gen. Joe Wheeler, now in Cuba.
During the late war Maj. Barnes was
a major in the federal army, and Gen.
Wheeler was lieutenant general in the
confederate service.
At the surrender Of Athens Lieut..
Gen. Wheeler was in the forces that
surrendered, and desired to get over
and join some other confederate
forces. He and several of his staff
wrote out paroles and started toward
the other camp. Maj. Barnes had his
scouts out, and they met Wheeler and
his men in the road and halted them.
Wheeler said he was paroled and pro-
duced a parole in the name of "Lieut.
Sharpe"
The sergeant in charge OF the
scouting party read the papers and
said:
"These papers are not right"
"You seem to doubt my veracity,"
said Wheeler, feigning great indigna-
ton.
"Well," replied the sergeant, ST hap
pened to be your prisoner two weeks
ago, Gen. Wheeler, and know you. You
treated me pretty nice, too, and I'm
going to treat you nice. You'll have
to go with me to headquarters"
They brought him and his staff be-
fore me-" said Maj. Barnes, in relating
the incident, land Wheeler laughed
heartily at his failure. He was a
small man, with red hair and big
freckles on his face, and you could
see the dare devil in him from his
chin to his scalp. / afterward wrote
him a parole. "-Paducah (Ky.) Sun.
