Mr.. Peterson informs us the cigar
trade is dull. 1t would seem strange
that city of this size could not consume
all the cigars that could be made by the
cigar-makers of the city. AS a matter
of fact many more cigars are con-
sumed than the mum Der daily made here,
but the trouble is that Eastern goods
are too often purchased. 1t Is fact
that no better cigars are sold than those
made at home. Consequently there is
no good reason why foreign should be
preferred to home brands. The pictures
on the box may not be so gaudy, but the
cigars cannot be excelled. On the con-
trary there is every reason why home
cigars should be gwen the preference.
Their production adds to the number Of
consumers of all other lines of goods.
The money sent away tor labor of MAX
ing cigars is kept at home. The cigars
made are known to be unadulterated.

Though the thermometer hugs the
century mark, the heat does not seem
30 intense nor disastrous in its effects as
is reported from the East. No one has
been stricken down by it, and no death
has occurred from it, even incidentally,
80 far as has been reported.
Considerable gold dust is being
shipped from Grants Pass, even in these
dry times. Nearly every store in town
handles it, and it is legal tender without
the government stamp for all merchan-
disc here. There is considerable differ
ence in its value, however, owing to the
presence of more or less silver. One
shipment was made last week that only
brought 50 an ounce at the mint. Some
of the dust has brought as high as SIS. 10.
The silver producing localities are known
and dust from there is scaled down ac-
cordingly.

Dealers ought therefore to keep in stock
and give preference to home made cigars,
and consumers should likewise call for
them. One who should refuse to keep
them, after they have been called for,
has not proper spirit OF loyalty to the
town where they themselves are sup
ported. One of our earlier presidents
once set the example of patronizing
home Industries by wearing a suit of
homespun clothes in preference to the
fine broadcloth of England's looms. It
is healthful and satisfactory spirit to
cultivate

ANOTHER DROWNING.
Marcus Vanbibber Sinks Beneath rheI
CoIumbia's Fierce Current.


The cruel Columbia has swallowed upl
another victim. This time youth just
entering upon the threshold of maturity
bright and promising, and the hope of
his parents, who had thrown around
him every advantage that he might per-
petuate in honor the family name. I
Marcus Vanbibber was drowned aboun
dusk last evening while swimming in 4
bay-hke place in the river at the mouth
of slough four miles below The Dalles.
Those who were swimming with him
were Thos. Lorenzen, Andrew Pearson,
Will Sechler, Glenn Whittle and
smaller boy who accompanied them
Marcus was a good swimmer, and for
some reason struck out from the bay
into the current of the river. This cur
rent skirts the bay and its line OF de-
marcation is otherwise established by
precipice beneath the surface. A swim
mer may step off level into eighty feet
of water, and the temperature of the
water changes as suddenly from warm to
cold. It was not the cold water which
destroyed young Van6lbber by giving
current. which commenced to drag him
underneath the moment he struck it.
He realized his danger at once; he per-
ceived his inability to battle against the
fearful suction of the fierce current, and
shouted twice for help. Seeker started
to help him, and finding himself in al
most the same perilous position as Van
hihkoV. he in fE1rr chnnfod n ho-d
Lorenzen, who was just within the bay,
extended his hand just in time to save
him from like fate. The current must
have been very powerful, for Lorenzen
says he was almost pulled off his feet
trying to draw Sechler out. Poor Mar
Gus Vanbibber was forced to give up the
struggle and sank after moment of
again, by stemming the current. It Is
thought that if he had swan with the
current, he could have reached the bank
lower down the river. He was an ac-
complished swimmer.
| Within short time efforts were made
to recover his body with graphing
hooks, but they were unsuccessful. This
morning about daylight efforts were re-
sumed by Al and Walter Klindt with a
sturgeon line, and the first cast was sue
cessful. He was brought up about 20 feet
from where he sank, one of the hooks
catching him under the chin.
The death has created an air of gloom
over the city, as the young man was
well known and universally esteemed
1t will be sad blow to the parents, who
had centured their hopes in bright
career for Marcus, and had taken great
pains with his education to fit him for a
long and useful life.
The funeral will occur Sunday at :
O'Clock p. m. from the residence or
Chenoweth creek.
