Facts About Mason Co. Washington.


The editor receives many inquiries
from people in all sections of the IN
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-
quirers should always send stamps.
WAGES.
Logging camp wages range from 81
$3.50 per day, and the employees are
charged board.
Carpenters So to So per day.
Ordinary labor $3.50 to So;
Woodworkers $3.50 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 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 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.
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 ST.. per sack.
Butter, Is to 80 cents, according to
season.
Eggs, Is to 80 cents according to
season.
Potatoes and other vegetables, 25 to
80 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
ciic and the Mill companies own large
bodies of logged-off lands, some of
which are well situated for agricultur-
al purposes, which are offered for sale
at prices ranging from ST. to S. per
acre on the 5 and 10 year contract
plan, which is very reasonable. 4
We advise homeseekers that the
best and cheapest plan for them is to
find a partly improved ranch and buy
it, 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 not wanted. There are good
openings for milling, or other business,
Or intelligent farming IN Mason Co.,
but 10 one should come without suffi-
Gent means to secure start.

There are yet few brethren who do
not clearly and fully understand the
workings of the Classified Assessment
Plan, which is to be in force with us
on and after July l, 1899. To all
such here. arc few points to be re-
membered:
There is nothing changed in the
principles of the Order, except the
amount each shall pay as an assess
ment.
| There will not be an assessment
every month, unless it is needed to
pay death claims. There is no prob
ability that the death rate will increase
on account of the new plan. If it
shall remain the same as heretofore,
the Order will need no more money
than heretofore.
One assessment on the level plan
raised in this jurisdiction enough
money to pay a sum equal to three
and half death claims.
Under the Classified Assessment one
assessment will raise money enough
to pay little more than seven death
claims. There will therefore not be
needed more than half the number of
classified assessments that there would
be level assessments to pay the same
number of claims.
1t is safe to say that under the
Classified Plan seven or eight assess
ments will pay one years death claims,
provided the death rate does not in
crease over what has been in the past
The year 1898 gave us fifteen level
assessments which could have been
raised on seven Classified Assessments.
There will not be any double head
ers while the death rate remains as
low as it is. The limit Is now fixed
at twelve assessments year.
The following is the cost to each
member according to age on the as
stunned basis of seven assessments a
year:
If you belong in the class from Is
to "A years your rate of assessment
will be $1.20, and at seven assessments,
would amount to the sum of $40 for
the year. From 25 to % years of age,
the rate is $1.3O and at seven assess
nelts would amount TO the sum of
500 per year. From 80 to 81 years,
the rate is $1.45 and at seven assess
ments would be $1O15. From ages
30 to 80 the rate is $1.70, which at
seven assessments would make the
years cost to be $1190. From ages
40 to Al the rate is $2.05 per assess
ment, and at seven assessments would
amount to.the sum of $14.35. From
ages 40 to 40, the rate is 1896 an as
sessment, which at seven assessments
a year would be 1855. To all of so
years and over, the rate per assessment
is $3.50 and at seven assessments a
year would amount to $500.
NV, brother, is there anything
about this that you fear will freeze
you out?
These rates are absolutely scientific,
SO that at whatever age you join, if
you live out your life expectancy, as
shown by the actuaries' tables, each
will pay exactly the same amount of
money for what he gets.
Each man at a given age pays ex-
actly the same price.
This is truly scientific and equitable,
the best and only durable basis upon
which to place fraternal protection.-

officers, and Of course oil other
officers, had to be stamped, and
that all such bonds should have a
50-cent stamp attached. The eff
feet of this decision is far reaching
as every school and township
officers bond in the state will have
to be stamped, the district or
