London, May 1.-THE Ewo Incident at

to the unsatisfactory nature of the
German commanders explanations, the

From Greenland's icy mountains to

bers are wideawake, as will be seen
by the following circular, which will
be sent to every dealer in cigars in the
city. The circular is a timely docu-
ment' and should be received with in
terest by every business man who is
interested in the growth of Duluth.
1t is as follows:
Dear Sir-Believing that you are as
interested as we are in the growth and
development of Duluth, We take the
liberty Of writing to you these few
lines with the idea of creating an
interest in our home industries. Along
this line we, as cigar makers, wish 70
call your attention to the great number
of outside cigars sold and consumed IN
this city, and also to present a few
facts showing how much Duluth and
it's business men would be benefited by
pursuing a policy favorable to the con-
sumption Of home made products.
There are so cigarmakers employed
in this city and the same number OF
packers, strppers, statesmen, book
keepers, etc. The weekly pay rolls OF
our local cigar manufacturers amount
to over $4,000 per week. This money is
all spent in Duluth, and helps to make
this city prosperous.
The number Of cigars produced here
monthly is about 25O,OOO, while the con-
sumption amounts to about 1000, 900 fo1
the same period. We have gathered
this from careful investigation. You
