CHANGE OF ASPECT.
Tohacconists Here Much Interested in the
EnglisI Situation 81 Present.

Local tobacconists are considerably in
terested III the changed aspect which, in
their eyes, the English market has taken
on III the past few days.
Letters received in this city Thurs
day contain rulI particulars OF the COM
bine OF English manufacturers, mention
of which has been mace here and there
in lae public press, and herein lies the
new source for alarm among the eN-
porters here The combination is made
ostensibly for the purpose of keeping out
the American trust, which mas already
planted foot on British soil.
1t goes BY the name of the Imperial
Tobacco Manufacturing Company OF
Great Britain and ireland ana has an
estimated capital OF I20OJ.0Gl to 150o9. 900
pounus-an tnU4:lous sum Of money.
What, now is the opinion here. is to him
der this combination from dong the very
thing the trust was going 90 do. The
combine, there being no competition, ctud
have one buyer, throw ali its business TO
one OF the exporters here slE and the
rest of them would be o3t OF the bus
mess. The letters referred to above are
from prominent commissions merchants
OF london. Liverpool ana other places
and they contain statements to the eff
feet that there is no cause for alarm along
this line; that the new organization will
be of as much benefit to the exporters
Of America as to the English manufac-
turers contained in it.
The combination, it is said. is regarded
by its adherents as Il defensive rather
than an offensive measure, and it IS
maintained that there is no intention OF
crushing out the smaller manufacturers,
even though they do not join the COM
bination.
If such is The case. if the purpose of the
combination is simply to get the manuiac-
tuners of Great Britain together. so that.
by concerted action, they may Keep the
trust out, then it will be hailed here as a
delverance. But somehow the opinion
has gained currency that there is more
than this behind the combine. II don't
like the looks of it. said one prominent
exporter here Thursday. ana his opinion
was concurred in by another standing
near.
The reports from England indicate that
the following English firms are among
those Included in the new combine:
Messrs. w. D. & Fl. Q. Wills, Of Bristol
and London.
Messrs Lanb bert G Butler. a1essrs. Adj

The next step toward carrying out the
plans for Il public library in Richmond
will be for the Council to name the nine
members of the commission who will
have control OF the matter. The Coun-
Gil has accepted Mr.. Carnegie's offer, and
he has acknowledged the receipt of the
copy of the ORDINANCE, which is satisfac-
tory to him, and he is simply waiting for
the city to complete arrangements.
There are to be nine members Of the
commission from the Common Council,
one from the Board of Aldermen and six
to be chosen from the citizens at large.
It is probable that Mr. Robert Whittet,
ST., who induced Mr. Carnegie to make
his offer, will be q member of the COM
mission.

FARMERS PETITION.
ASK the Department to Stop Sheep Grazing on
Forest Reserve.

The farmers of Ahtanum, Cowychee
and Wenas creeks have prepared petit
ton to the secretary of interior asking
that sheep grazing be prohibited on the
Rainier forest reserve. 1t will be for
warded to the department this week,
and is as follows:
eve, the undersigned farmers, prop
erty owners, citizens and voters of Yaki-
county, Washington, hereby request that
the secretary of the interior prohibit
sheep grazing on the Rainier forest re-
serve, at the headwaters of the Cowiche,
Ahtanum and Wenas creeks. Our reas-
ons for asking this are that the range is
being destroyed by sheep grazing and
the actual settlers are robbed OF the priv
ileges that should be theirs-of feeding
their stock on the government range
contiguous to their farms the watershed
is being denuded so that the snow is
melted away in early spring and the
water supply is short during the summer
months, when most needed, and the liti-
CATION over water rights is very burden
some to the people. These conditions
have been increasing every year since
sheep grazing was permitted on the Cas-
cade mountains and have become alarm
ing to our people. The sheep pull up
and destroy the arid grasses and lay
waste the entire country wherever they
are permitted to Craze. We further ask
that the proposed opening of two town
ships on the Rainier forest reserve, for
settlement, be not permitted, as the
lands are situated at the heads of the
streams used below for. irrigation pur-
poses and there is practically no agricul-
tural lands that may be used as home
steads. The people need the entire BEN
efits of the reserve as a natural water
preserver Our farming lands are utter
~ worthless without plenty OF water for
irrigation purposes. The forest reserve,
if properly preserved, is sufficient to
give all the reservoirs we need, and we
insist upon this being held as sacred
ground. for the benefit of the actual set
tiers making their homes on the streams
fed by the SHOWS of this reserve. For
the relief AZ above mentioned, we, your
petitioners, will ever pray"
At meeting OF the Cattlemen's Asso-
citation in city hall last Saturday the
above petition was unanimously en-
dorsed.
