The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-01-15

You have no idea what opportunities
for improving the world and benefiting
humanity lie in those three words. Very
few of us are courteous, amiable and
consi1erate in our everyday dealings
with relatives, business associates and
servants. Most of us save these quail
tiles for company"
If you will bring them into hourly
use with everybody you meet you may
be surprised at the results. You will
find it more difficult to achieve than
some larger exploits. But you will also
quite to your surprise, find that you are
enjoying yourself, and you will cease to
ask Does life pay?'
In speaking of a man who had at
tanned great financial success, a writer
said: He was equally ready and per-
sistent in his efforts to aid friend or
to ruin an enemy

all the pleasures of the ordinary in
dividual, who were happy and who
scattered happiness on all who came
near
Once we set about the work of culti-
waiting a happy trend in the mind and
it is surprising what possibilities for
happiness will develop within us.
One of the best recipes for happiness
is very old. 1t is so old many people
have forgotten it.
1t Is simply to put aside all thought Of
pleasure for yourself, make up your
mind to do the work given you to do
and to accomplish the nearest and most
unpleasant duties first. Then to lose no
chance TO give the people who come
across your path all the pleasure and
happiness you can without interfering
with their development.
Begin with the people in your home.
Be courteous, amiable and considerable.

fieeting months, Does life pay?" We
find in reading over our mental diary
SO many records of worries, troubles
and sorrows, and so few, comparatively

balance the account. And 50 we fall

selves, Does it pay?"

A WRESTLING MATCH.
Charles Moth and Tony jenkins Will See
Who Is the Best Man.

Charles Moth. the wrestler, who has
been in Butte but few days, has ar
ranged a wrestling match, two out OF
three, catch-as-catch-can, with Tony
jenkins, another clever athlete, who has
earned an enviable record on the Pa
cltlc coast. The match between these
men in Spokane last January is said hy
the papers of that city to have been
the prettiest bout seen in the Falls City
IN long time. Tony Jenkins has gone
to his cousins ranch near LIVINGSTON
to go into training for the event, which
is to come off on the 25th instant in the
opera house in this city. Moth will train
either at the Crystal or Gregson
Springs. Moth strips at ITS pounds and
Jenkins at. 200. The latter was thrown
by the former in Spokane after an in
teresting struggle.
Moth will also meet Billy Woods and

BOSS RULE IN CITIES.
The Fault for Such Evils, as Croker Ad
mits, Lies With the People.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The thoughts of many minds are
turning to the governments of cities.
On Monday Felix Adler gave an ad-
dress upon this subject before the Eth
ical Culture society of New York; on
Tuesday Dr. Lyman Abbott called the
attention Of the Sons Of the Revolu-
ton of New York to the theme. There
is an awakening all along the line upon
the subject of bosses and bossism and
machines which they control. Adler
discusses the question from novel
point of view. He takes as his cue
the grogshops, the gambling saloons
and the low. vulgar music halls. These
are the temptations that surround the
boys and girls of the city. What are
the influences which lessen them? The
home, the school and the church. But
the greatest Ct all, if exercised for les
SEEMING vicious surroundings, is the gov
eminent of the city.
Under the boss system these vicious
influences are protected rather than
prohibited. The police department is
employed largely to shield these re-
sorts and to see that they are not mo-
Tested. The complaint of the citizen
regarding outrages perpetrated is usu-
ally pigeOnholed. The city government
becomes merely corrupt machine, Or
ganzed and conducted for purposes of
corruption.
The Mazet investigation, warped and
curbed as 1t was, gave, nevertheless,
graphic picture of the evils of bossism
Croker freely confessed upon the stand
that he is the virtual dictator in the
government of New York city; he ad-
mitted that all conventions merely rat
flied his will: he admitted that he NOM
mated the judges who were to pass
upon the acts of the citizens of New
York, and that it was impossible for
any one whom he opposed to obtain a
nomination. He admitted that the gov
eminent of New York really existed on
paper only. Actually it exists in Gro
ker's pocket. He admitted that con-
tracts practically went by favor. The
mere fact that a man is the lowest bid
der is no guarantee that he will get
the contract. Croker runs things him.
selt' Tor his machine, and for his bene-
ficiaries.
The fault of all this lies with the peo-
pie. 1t is idle TO think that citizens of
New York cannot overthrow Croker
The majority of the American people
are not the slaves of any man. Their
crime lies in the fact that they are in
different to their political surroundings.
Inc ordinary American is prone to be-
come absorbed in his business, and to
thlnk that the government of the city
state or nation is no concern of his. II
is of vital concern to him.
AS soon as the citizen in every walk
of life appreciates the fact that a part
of his thought and a part of his time
belong to the state, bosses and bossism
Will be oVerthrown. The great major
1ty OF men have consciences, and they
Will be governed by their consciences.
What they need now is to be stirred out
of their apathy and their indifference.

SUNK THE FIRST SHAFT
An Honor Which Belongs to
Patrick Flynn, an Old Timer.
A SILVER PROPOSITION
That Is What Everyone Thought the
Anaconda Was-Two Brothers From
New York Located the Claim.
They Had No Money.

| Among old timers Who arrived in
Butte the past week WAS Patrick Flynn,
who enjoys the distinction of having
sunk the first shaft oM the great An
| aconda mine. The rJhulous amount
| of wealth which has since been taken
out of the greatest Of Ill copper mines
| gives added interest Nv The story Of the
time when the shaft Vas begun. There
was little nothin2 to Indicate that
the Anaconda was such a great prop
erty-that in fact it VAS as good as
hundreds of other prrspt cts which had
been staked out and claimed by some of
the early corners to Butte. The Ana
conda was located by the Hickey broth
ers, two prospectors from St. Law
renee county, New York. Like so many
other prospectors at that time and in
fact in all times, eVrn to this day, the
Hickeys were able TO locate the claim,
but had no money to pay for devel-
oping it.
AS the story goes. ihe Hickeys went
to Marcus DAILY, at that time superin-
tendent of the Alcr mine, and offer
ed him a third interest in the Ana
conda provided he would pay the cost

Facts About Mason. Co. Washington,

The editor receives many inquiries
from people ia 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-
quirers should always send stamps.
WAGES.
Logging camp wages range from So
$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 dwell
ling brings $S 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
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 30 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
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 ST. to SIS per
acre on the 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 In Mason Co.,
but no one should come without suffi-
cient means to secure a start.
