A sensible suggestion is made by Gov.
Murphy Of Arizona. in his annual report
He advocates the sale and settlement of
the large Indian reservations within the
territory, with the possible exception Of
Navajo reservation in northeastern Ari-
zona, and the government construction Of
reservoirs FOR water storage for irriga-
tion in suitable localities, with canals
leading to lands allotted the Indians. The
Governor says the latter action, in which
Indian labor could be largely utilized,
wou,I help to make farmers of the In
dians. and that further maintenance Of
the tt;bcl relations as now conducted

UNIQUE COLLEGE SPORT.
Emory Seniors Go Out for a Postum
Hunt.

Emory College. oxford, Ga, Oct. 2e.
The senior class had 'possum hunt
last night, which proved to be the
greatest way of enjoying a night of
pleasure that the class has yet devised.
The full class of thirty men was in at
tendance, there being a serious penalty
attached to the offense of being alb
sent. A week ago the members of the
class held a meeting and unanimously
decided to have a hunt, and to bump
every member of the class who failed
10 attend. Messrs. Carlisle H. Lewis,
Will Henry Moreton and John Rosser
were appointed. These gentlemen Sc
cured the services of an experienced
hunter of the slick tailed animal, and a
generous supply of refreshments. Profs.
Hanna and Weber were invited to ac-
company the class, and both were on
hand at the appointed time. After a
walk of about eight miles, the dogs
freed and the class rushing forward in
a body, discovered that a diminutive
opossum had been caught. The class
yell was given and the boys marched
forward. Their further efforts were not
crowned with success as no more pos
sums were to be found. About midnight
the class assembled about a huge bon
fire and regaled themselves after their
arduous exertions. After the repast
several members of the class favored
those assembled with some entertain
ing informal remarks. The meeting
adjourned at a late hour and the SEN
iors wendell their way homeward to
dream Of "possum and 'taters." The
animal that was so unfortunate as to
be caught was presented to Prof.

New YORK, August Z, 1901.

In domestic leaf circles real activity
seems to be suspended pending the ar
rival of the new tobacco. Sampling in
some sections has commenced, and it is
quite likely that before the present month
is over considerable Connecticut, Big
Flats and Onondaga tobacco of the 1900
crop will be on the market. AS usual,
Eastern tobacco takes the initiatory, and
already some good-sized lots are passing
out of the hands of the packers. The
principal sale of the week, in fact, was
that of 931 cases of 1900 Connecticut
Broad leaf by New York and New Eng
land packing firm. The price is not di-
vulged, but it is understood that very
good figure was realized.
There is little doubt but that New
York State and New England tobacco
will be good property this year. There
is still small but steady demand for
old goods, and from five to twenty-case
lots are changing hands daily. In this
line the largest deals reported during the
past week were 800 cases of '99 Pennsyl-
vania Broad leaf at 13 cents, and $50
cases of '99 thinner Spanish at 16 cents.
Sumatra. this branch of the
leaf market is more active than either of
the others just now, few sales of large
proportions are being made. Plenty of
sample bales are out, and all importers
are doing more or less business every
day. The demand, too, seems to be in
creasing, and it is believed that by the

LANCASTER New ERA. Aug. 6, 1901

A. Y. y,
Despite the usual dullness at this sea-
son of the year, trade has been fairly
good during the past week. The demand
has been for all grades, and seems to
have come from manufacturers as we'll
as large dealers. True, no large pack
ings have been sold, but enough small
ones to run up the aggregate to respect
able figures. The country packers, as
usual, are in the field early, and appear
|. be getting rid of their holdings. But,
present indications are deemed favor
able, no doubt we shall hear of some big
transactions. In fact, we do know of Il
large one that was made, contract all
drawn up, and then the dicker declared
off owing to trifing circumstance. The
transactions, SO far as they have been
reported to us, are as follows: P. x. and
J. K. Leaman sold 100 cases of 1900
goods; B. M. Mowery & Co sold 175cs;
M. M. Fry sold 182cs; J. w. Breneman
sold 87cs and bought 85; w. S. Bare sold
Toes, and Eli Mylin sold 375cs. In all.
1,679cs. For the corresponding week of
last year the sales were 1,66Ocs.
Another week of excellent tobacco
weather has come and gone. All the
conditions were favorable without any
serious drawbacks. The result is that a
better stand of tobacco has rarely been
seen here. Cutting has set in with con-
siderable activity in some localities, and
considerable amount of leaf ought to
60 into the barns before the week is out,
if the weather conditions are favorable.
Wind and hail storms now present the
only causes for anxiety, but we hope the
farmers will not be induced by their
fears to cut the crops in an unripe con-
dition.
Wisconsin has been pulled out of her
drouth, and her tobacco fields have re-

The local market remains quiet and
there has been no activity in the ware.
houses the past week with the exception
of an occasional small shipment and
sampling at Chas. r. Goldsmith & Co.'s
warehouse. Albert Calm of New York,
representing Elias Bach & Son, is here
and has been inspecting the growing
crop. The crop has advanced rapidly in
the past week and the rain of Tuesday
afternoon and evening again supplied
needed moisture. Among the fine crops
in this immediate vicinity is that of
Miles Smith. MIR. Smith has N acres
on Seneca street that was topped over a
week ago. and he expects it will be-
ready for cutting in about ten days. Re-
ports from various parts of the section
all indicate that while the plants we're
late, the weather conditions have been
favorable for rapid growth. The worms
are causing much trouble throughout
the section, however. One grower with,
large acreage informs us that while.
late in setting, his crop is nearly ten
days further advanced than last year st.
this time. Many of the earlier set crops
will be ready for cutting within two
weeks, and cutting will be quite general
by the Goth of this month.-Gazette.

NEW YORK, August 10, 1901.
The market is busy with anxious en-
quiries with regard to the new crops and
making preparations to have them sam
pied. 1t also took note with satisfaction
of the reported sale of nearly thousand
boxes of Connecticut broad leaf to a
Western manufacturer. Not the slight
est apprehension is felt as to a brisk bus
mess as soon as the samples are out.
Probably the biggest rush will be for
Wisconsin, but several packers seem to
have concluded not to show sample be-
fore the new year, when they expect the
market price will have reached 18c. In
view of the nearly total failure of this
years crop. they are likely to see their
expectations realized.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
EDGERToN, WIS. August 16, 1901

EDGERTON, w lS.. august 10, lSUI.
Local rains covering good portion of
the tobacco section in Rock and Dane
counties fell Wednesday, that will allay
the drouth pinched tobacco fields and
give new life to the belated portion of
the crop. The harvest is we'll under way
in Vernon county but it only just started
in the lower districts where fully one
half the fields are yet to be topped. In
the rain favored sections growers now
hope for better results than the outlook
heretofore promised, in the broadening
out of the leaves that are yet to mature.
Frequent rains, however, are required to
make anything like favorable showing.
The inquiry after cured leaf prevails
in the local market and few transac-
tions have come to the surface. Child &
Spitzner picked up between 500 and 600
cases of '99 and 1900 tobacco among
the local packers of GAINESVILLE and
Stoughton of late. A 109cs lot of 1900
was sold to the American Cigar Co. by
0. Fl. Hemsing of Stoughton.
G.. L. Culton has increased his stem
ming force until more than 900 hands
are working in the warehouses controlled
by him.
The shipments out of storage reach a
total of II car loads, S30cs, from this
station to all points for the week past.
Since last report 790cs of cigar leaf were
exported from New York.
