thirty miles distant from London.
Common laborers receive $4.38
weekly, or estimating the value OF
supplies furnished by the land owner,
$4.98 per week.
Holsters and cattlemen receive
$3.50 cash weekly, or with the addi-
ton of cash value of supplies, s5.46.
Shepherds receive s4.S6 cash, or with
the addition of cash value for sup
plies, 1874 weekly. The married
men are supplied with cottages and
receive in many cases ground for gar
dens or potatoes, straw for pigs and
free carriage of fuel and other minor
benefits which the land owner wishes
to grant them.
All single hired mel on farms in
these counties receive lodging and
board in farm houses and $4.3S cash
COMPENSATION weekly. 1t is generally
understood that these men work
longer hours.
From all my interviews I am con-
strained to arrive at M conclusion
that the unskilled laborer in this dis
trict cannot make over 20 shillings
(4.S6) e week at steady employ
ment and that even some Of the me.
chanical workers, such as those In the
building trades, are not earning oVer
25 shillings (s6.07) weekly on a gen.
eral average the year round.
The prices of living supplies fur
| nished in this statement wern OBJ
tanned In the three most prominent
laboring districts in the city, 1sling-
ton, Hackney and Whitechapel. From
ten to fifteen stores in each district
were visited, and from two to three
of the articles were priced in each
store; and the figures given Delo"
are the average obtained in the three
districts on each article named.
No effort was made to obtain the
| prices in the higher resident districts
or round the habltations of the mid
| die classes, as rs to so per cent. more
Is charged in these districts for the
articles sold by the same name, the
quality, however, being superior.
My aim was to get the cheapest pos
sible way of living for the mel who
| do not carr over Is shillings (S6.O7)
per week and less, this amount repre-
| senting the greatest army of laborers
in the City of London.
Special attention has been given to
the cost of bread. Over twenty large
| retail bakeries we're visited, and the
same class of bread that can be pur-
chased in Chicago, st. Louis and New
| Orleans at five cents per pound costs
here four cents per pound in all the
| retail stores. In the laboring dis
tricts, however, a four-pound loaf is
| sold for - cents. This bread COM
pares well with the second days stale
bread which wholesale bakers in
American cities sell for two and a
half cents per pound. 1t is a good,
substantial food, but not the best
obtainable.

During last week floating ice in
the Uncompahgre river lodged at a
point just west of town causing a
gorge. The ice kept piling up and
freezing until the river was damned
across causing the stream to overflow
the banks, much of the water finding
its way to the fair grounds inundat-
ing portions of the race track. Those
who have been wintering fast horses
at the grounds were compelled to seek
new quarters, aud the ice formd on
the overflow has been providing ex-
cellent skating for the young people.
Being nearer town than the old skat-
ing place it has naturally become
very popular. During the holiday
week school children especially have
had fine time at this place.-Delta

cessful business for the Dean Studio

our business grown, but 1909 shows

of superior intelligence and culture,

Fatal Fire at ROsaryville

The general merchandise store Of S.
Blumberg at Rosaryville, about SIX
miles from here, was destroyed by fire
about 8 O'Clock Wednesday morning,
and the proprietor's son, Jerome, y
years old, was burned to death.
When the occupants of the building
were awakened, the fire had gained
considerable Roadway. Mr.. Blumberg
took one child out and went back into
the burning building to aid the rest OF
the family. He was unable to enter
the first floor as the flames had made
considerable Roadway, but climbed to
the second story on a ladder and was
nearly overcome by smoke before he
could get all except one Of the family
out
Mr.. Blumberg's daughter, in carry
ing the baby down the ladder, fel! and
sprained her ankle. The baby was saw
ed bv falling on the girl. The son prob
ably tried to escape down the stairs and
was smothered before he reached the
door.
Mrs. Blumberg was visiting relatives
in Baltimore. The cause of the fire is
unknown.
