Price Utah, April Especial Agent E.
R. Harper who has been out to White
Rocks agency to confer with the White
River Utes came in today from there
and leaves at midnight for Washington,
where he has been called by telegram.
His mission to the White River is as far
from being solved as before the consul
tation was had.
Sowawic, chief of the White Rivers,
aged IS years; Catumpt and Marcisco,
aged about sixty-five, talked for their
people. There We're over 200 present. The
gist of their argument and grievance is
that they were driven from their reser-
walton in Colorado in $780, their brothers
were killed by the cowboys, and they
We're not paid for their lands. Through
Sowawic they told the special agent that
they would go back there after the water
in the Green river goes down, and will
fight for their rights. They were told
II they attempted TO go by force the
soldiers would shoot or bring them back,
but it seems to be the impression they
will go any way, about the LIST of July.
Another grievance is that they are be-
ing imposed upon by the Uintahs and
are deprived of certain rights by the lat
ter that were promised them when they
We're brought into Utah
Sowawic is the chief trouble-maker of
the tribe, and has refused TO go into
manned for nineteen years. Every year
he visits Red Cloud. the Sioux warrior in
Dakota. and as often comes back and
tells his people that the latter advised
going into Colorado by force. About u
week ago Indian Agent Myton wanted to
see Sowawic and in order to obtain an
audience took Il wagon load of presents
to his hut These were piled upon the
floor and the response was not SO much
as Il grunt. Agent Myton fears trouble
but will take up the work where Harper
left off, and if possible, keep these In
dams out of Colorado

Soldiers Are Ready.

There is little hope of accomplishing
anything and the soldiers at Fort
mard of Captain j. A. Guirfoyle; an old
break across the line is attempted. All
three of the Indians mentioned were
active in the Meeker massacre When
the White Rivers were brought to Utah,
they were. under treaty. permitted to
hunt in Colorado. Since then game laws
have been passed by Colorado which
prohibit their hunting across the line.
When this was explained to Sowawic, he
replied: Washington heap good to
he'll with Colorado
When the White Rivers left Colorado,
they had 81, 250,O00 to their credit in bonds
from which they get $4,000 yearly. They
have been charged up with $4,000 eX-
penses moving across the line. Lands
have been sod in Colorado for which
they should have 81 900. A report from
the secretary of the interior as to their
money shows they have less to their
cyedit than when they left in 1880, This
Harper will investigate. When asked as
to the expense in moving the special
agent simply smiles and says nothing.
When the average Indian moves he sim
ply ties his teepee pole to his pony'S tail.

The first biennial report of the
bureau OF labor of the state of Wash
lngton has recently been published
1t contains much interesting matter
which has been gathered by hard work.
W.P. G. Adams, commissioner of labor,
and William Blackman, inspector of
factories, mills and railroads, have done
all they could to secure full and COM
plete statistics. The Lumberman'
gladly bears testimony to their zeal,
and extends sympathy at the same
time, for this journal has travelled IN
part the tortuous road of the statistic
gatherer for about ten years, and
kowns its hardships. 1t makes one
smile to read, after giving list of the
number of saw and shingle mills in
this state, that "We do not say that
this is all there is, but it is all we
know Of" OF course it would be q
useless waste Of time and money to
visit every mill in the state, but that
Is about the only way an official would
ascertain their number The report
divides the state into "West of the
Cascades" and "East of the Cascades
In the former division are 159 saw
mills and 1876 sh.ngle mills. In the
latter division there are 63 saw mills
and 10 shingle mills. This makes a
total OF 222 saw mills and 146 shingle
mills.
The estimate is made that the aver
age amount OF lnmber cut per employe
was ll6S feet, and shingles .5,963. 1t
places the number of men employed
in saw mills at 2,76S; in shingle mills
at 2,346; in logging camps, $3.50; and
bolt cutting, 1,700, average running
time Of the saw mills in 1898 at 306
days, and shinglc mills at 234.
The scale of wages reported is most
interesting and in part is as follows
Ship yards pay caulkers $3.50 to 81 for
nine hours; lAborers $1.75 to 50 for
ten hours; loggers, $2.17; bolt cutters,
$1.95; sawyers, $3.36; knot sawyers,
$2.35; block sawyers, $2.64; shingle
packers, $2.O6; filers, $3.4S; planer

THE exemption of the Pacific coast
states from smallpox, which is report
ed in many states of the Union in the
public health reports: appears to be
broken by the discovery of two cases
of the dread disease in San Francisco
at the pest house of the city and the
county hospital. The first case was a
railroad employe, lately arrived from
Colorado, and the second, already an
inmate of the pest house with leprosy,
Is believed to have taken the disease
from the first case. The Sound health
officers are advising people to get
vaocinated, so as to be prepared in
case the disease should reach this Sec
ton. 1t is about time for another
visit, the last scare being about seven
years ago.

The Logging Situation.

As the years 60 by and the timber of
this coast grows more inaccessible, log
ging must fall into fewer hands and be
handled by heavier operators. This is
the trend in all lines, and is inevitable
in the logging trade The past year
has been the best one for the loggers
along the coast that has been exper-
fenced for many years, but the better
prices which have prevailed have not
brought the profits casual observer
might see. Wages have not only been
higher, but the class of men employed
in the camps has not been so skilled
nor effective as formerly. The draft
Alaska made on the camps took many
of the best men and they have not been
replaced. In many cases the prices
paid for stumpage was in excess of
any previously paid, while all sorts of
camp supplies have been higher. In
the face of these conditions, however,
the results and profits are better IN
logging than for some time. In keep
ing with other branches of the lumber
trade, the management has grown
more business like, which with the ad-
dition of machinery, has made log
ging more legitimate, SO to speak

Ideal Plan for Stock Raising.

A man we'll in touch with the meat
business of the Northwest said to the
Tacoma Ledger that the people of.the
Puget Sound country would be MAX
ing wise observation and executing
a wise movement should they start to
raise cattle or sheep in the unoccupied
lands of Western Washington. He
further said:
"Western Washington is the only
garden spot from the Atlantic coast to
the Pacific that is free from snow to-
day, and where cattle in Montana are
being fed, and those Of the other
Eastern states are going hungry or
costing their owners money by being
fed indoors, the few cattle that are
being raised in the Puget Sound coun-
try are out of doors feasting on grass
"Lewis, Chehalis, Cowlitz, and such
counties on the southwark Of Tacoma,
are ideal places for the raising of cattle
and sheep. Stock three or four years
old is fit for the market, and with the
cattle right in the vicinity of the large
markets of Portland, Tacoma and Seat
tie, the local raiser would have the
advantage of being able to go to town
to make the sale of his steers before
sending or driving them in''

Facts About Mason Co. Washington.

The editor receives many inquiries
from people i'll 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-
qulrers should always send stamps.
WAGES.
Logging camp wages range from w
$3.50 per day, and the employees are
charged board.
Carpenters So to So per day.
Ordinary labor $l.5O to So;
Woodworkers $3.50 to So;
Farm labor 500. to $25. per m onth !;
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 SO
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 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 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, 25 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-of 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 buv
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-
cient means to secure start.

Utah's Unique and Interesting Pro-
duction.
The Salt Palace in Salt Lake City,
constructed from salt crystals formed
in the brine of Great Salt Lake, is the
most novel enterprise ever undertaken
in the West. The main building is a
veritable crystal palace, and no ade-
quate idea of the dazzling effect can
be secured except from personal
view of the exhibition. Connected
with the Palace is Midway Plaisance,
including Hagenback's Great Wild
Animal Show and the Fastest Bicycle
Track in the World. The Palace is
located in the heart of Salt Lake City
and occupies about twenty acres of
ground. The only trans.continental
