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 $2
$3.50 per day, and the employees are
charged board.
Carpenters So to So per day.
Ordinary labor $l50 to So;
Woodworkers $1.5O to So;
Farm labor $40. to $25. per month ;
The nature of work, the skill Of
workman, and condition of the mark
ct makes a difference in wages.
RENTS.
A house in Shelton rents from $5
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.
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 -four 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
5O 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-off lands, some of
which are we'll situated for agricultur-
al purposes, which are offered for sale
at prices ranging from 81 to $5 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 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 III Mason Co.,
but no one should come without suai-
cient means to secure start.

REBELS TIGHTENING.
Have Entrenched Themselves in the
 City of Iloilo.

Manila, January 15.-Via Hong Kong, January 2f.-Private advices received here from Iioilo differe materially from the offi- cial reports They say the rebels have com pleted their Notifications there and that they are now fortifying Guimaras island. The American forces are still on board tho transports which are anchored close to Guimaras island. The rebel authorities at Iloilo have granted permission to land un- armed parties not exceeding five in number if accompanied by native officer This off, fer was declined. The rebels subsequently permitted the officers to land, furnishing them with escort.
 President Lopez of the Visayan federation has replied to President McKiniey's procla- nation of the 9th. He claims that the revo- lutionists government antedates the Paris treaty by over two years. He also says he has never been officially notified of the ex- istence of the treaty and that therefore he declined to recognize American authority, and refuses to allow Americans to dsem- bark in force without express orders from the government at Malolos.
 General Miller, the commander of the American expedition replied that the Ameri- cans cannot recognize President Lopez's au- thority because the Filipino republic is not recognized by the powers. He has also ex- pressed regret at the determination of the Filipinos to resist just claims. The United States gunboat Petrel and the Spanish gum boat Fl Cano are at Iloilo.
 The natives at the fort mstook the United States cruiser Baltimore's meal pen- nant for a challenge and have hoisted red rag on the fort thrice daily, lowering it simultaneously with the Baltimores pennant
 The United States transport Indiana has gone to Ioilo with despatches to General Miller from General Otis and coal supplies for the expedition. The British second- class cruiser Bonaventuro and the German second-class cruiser Irene have returned here. Both the 1loilo banks have sent their treasure here.
 The American and Filipino commissioners are reported to have conferred with the Filipino club with unsatisfactory results. The natives a1lege that they must have official recognition before they will dis cuss the question of protectorate. Another conference is believed to have been ar ranged for tomorrow night, but the officials decline to confirm or deny this statement. Coasting steamers arriving here report that the natives are fortifying Falbayog and the island of Samar, refusing to allow Ameri- cans to land there. The garrison consist of thousand men, armed With spears and bolos. They have only six rifles
 Owing to persistent rumors of a contem- plated attack upon Manila on Saturday and Sunday, the American troops were confined to their quarters, all the guards were doubled and as a measure of precaution, foreign flags were displayed on the business and private houses everywhere as on the day of the entry of the Americans into this city. The Escolla, the usually busy thor oughfare, was deserted on Saturday night.
 A score of groundless alarmist rumors are still abroad, but confidence is being re- stored.
