"The country about that town is
great as tobacco producer. The en-
tire product almost is controlled by
one firm in Vera Cruz, known as Bal
sa brothers, millionaire manufacture
ers. They employ between 600 and
700 men in their cigar factories. and
there are from $4,000 to 10000 men,
women and children employed on the
tobacco plantations. Their cigars are
sold exclusively in Europe, mostly in
England and Germany. Although
only IL miles distant from the big to-
bacco plantations, no tobacco can be
raised on our plantation on account of
the slope to the gulf and the gulf
fogs. It is an ideal land for rubber,
coffee and vanilla, however"

GRAIN GOING UP.

Oats and Wheat in Good Demand
Says r. P. Wood.
The price of grain, and especially
oats, is high just now, and the mar
ket seems to have an upward tenden-
cy, Notwithstanding the fact that at
wholesale oats are now selling by the
carload at $1.40. Wheat, which has
been quite low for some time, has
also jumped skyward, and is now also
selling at $1.40, which is the highest
it has been for some time, says the
Helena Independent.
'While I do not intend 60 lay in an
exceptionally large supply at the
present prices" said T. P. Wood, one
of Helena's leading dealers yesterday,
II am of the opinion that prices will
remain at pretty high mark for
some tine, during the greater part of
the summer, at any rate. Oats have
risen five cents per hundred in the
last week It is stated that there is
a large quantity of oats stored at
Kalispell now, but the owners there
want $1.25 per hundred for them at
that place, and it costs Is cents per
hundred to ship them to Helena. But
it will not affect prices here to any
extent, even should they decide to
sell at little lower figure than the
one demanded. l learn from quite re-
liable sources that it is not anticipat-
ed that there will be very large oat
crop in Montana this year.
Wheat has been quite low for some
time, but now the market has be-
come much better, and l do not anti
cipate that it will fall very much for
some time. learn from the Bozeman
Milling company, Nelson Story Co.
and Benepe-O wenhouse & Co., that
there is very little wheat stored in
the Gallatin valley, and that there is
liable to be shortage in that section
of the state, until the winter wheat
is threshed during the summer. Wheat
is now selling at $1.40.
clay is about the same as it was
last season, the first class grades re-
naming very firm, while there is but
little demand for the poorer grades.
If the present weather keeps up and
we get good shower or two every
few days, the outlook for a big hay
crop is exceptionally good, but there
is always big demand for good hay,
and there is but little danger of there
being an overproduction, as is the
case with most other products. The
price of bran is also we'll up now, but
there is little doubt that it will go
down in the near future, as most of
the animals to whom bran is fed will
soon be turned upon the range, and
the demand for that class of feed
greatly lessened.
ut is not generally known that
there is quite little corn sold in
Helena for feeding purposes, both in
the full grain and in the ground form.
It is fed to hogs quite extensively, but
is somewhat expensive. as it has to
be shipped from the middle west"

Painting Black Eyes.

1.-THE painting of blackened eyes, of
which you hear little nowadays" said
a man of experience, "is so well estab-
lisned n business now that it does not
even need advertising. A sign which
just passed aroused memories of
earlier days within me. 1t was merely
the name Of a man who does this kind
of painting, with the brief announce
ment, Black Eyes Painted
Some years ago such a simple state
ment was not enough to enable one in
that business to live. The artist whose
calling this sign declared is the same
man who some years back used to have
u place on the avenue farther west, and
in front Of that old office he used to
have an expansive and gorgeous sign
which told his accomplishments in the
phraseology which the only Tody Ham
ilton after perfected in describing the
charms of the best that Barnum Of

Tests of Culture.

The chemist Liebig proposed to meas
ure the standard of civilization by the
consumption of soap, creation which
would put the inhabitants of north
Holland ut the head of all civilized ma
tons. AS more reliable test Edmund
About suggested the sale of steel pens,
the socialist Bebel the frequency of re-
form meetings, DR.. Bernard the use Of
undergarments, a luxury unknown to
the semicivilized tribes of Asia and
South America; Professor Ebers the
sale of postage stamps. The mileage
of railroads per hundred square miles
of territory might do in comparing
countries of equal density of popula-
tion.-Exchange.

Great Opportunities.

The Burlington, Cedar Rapids g.
Northern railway company is nearing
the completion Of its 40 miles of new
extensions in the very richest portions
of southwestern Minnesota. The six
new towns, Reading, Wilmont, Lismore,
Kenneth, Walters, and Conger are rap
idly becoming commercial centers for
the rich and already thickly settled
country surrounding. There has been
no auction sale of lots or any attempt
to boom these towns; their growth be-
ing the result of demand for convenient
markets.
1t is the purpose of the railway COM
pany to encourage the continuous, sub
stantial growth of the towns on their
lines. In order that each town may re-
ceive the attention of ownership, 1T has
been decided to sell each town entire,
including all unplatted land to private
parties. For terms Of such purchases,
address the undersigned. For business
