CIGAR
WORLD
What a Prominent Cigar Man
Says of the West.

Samuel |. Davis. of New York City,
one of the largest cigar manufactur-
ers in the United States, spent Sun
day in Salem, the guest Of Geo. E.
Waters. Mr.. Davis annually visits the
Pacific coast in the interest of his
trade, and was yesterday accompanied
by his Pacific coast representative,
Dave Edrich, of San Francisco. An
interesting fact In connection with
the cigar business is that, without an
exception, all OF the standard, big
selling cigars now IN the market were
originally introduced on the Pacific
coast, and here made their reputation
as saleable goods. A further fact
learned in a talk with Mr.. Davis, is
that more 12h cent cigars are annual
ly consumed on the Pacific coast than
is represented in the combined sales
OF all OF the Eastern states, where the
demand is largely for scent goods.
For this reason Eastern cigar manu-
facturers especially cater TO the Pa
cific coast trade for the successful In
PRODUCTION OF a new brand OF cigars
here insures a ready and expanding
sale throughout the country. Mr..
Davis left for San francisco Sunday
evening.

Man Cut
To Pieces

James Wilson, aged 26. son Of ]. B.
Wilson, who lives In the southwest
part of town, was killed by being run
over by an engine, two miles east of
Hilgard, station on the o. r. & N.
railroad, eight miles west Of La
Grande, between Q and 10 o'clock last

Wilson had been chopping wood
near Hilgard a few weeks, and Fri
day he broke one of his wedges. and
when freight train No. AZ came along
in the evening, he got on the engine
TO ride short distance down the
road to get another wedge. Wilson
undertook to jump from the moving
engine when he reached his destlna-
ton. and his foot slipped and threw
him in front of the engine, with the
result that he was cut into more than
dozen pieces.
Word was sent to his father in Pen.

Pearl McDuf, undertaken for NJ. A.
RAIDER, left this morning for the scene
OF the frightful accident, and will re-
turn this morning with the remains.

Tempting Fate.

The birds in the hedges were greet
ing the first peep of dawn on that fatal
May morning when four wheeler
rolled along an obscure road lying out
side of London far beyond the borders
of ST. Johns Wood. In the vehicle
were Jack Overton and his dearest
friend, Donald McGregor.
1t had been apparently rare stroke
of luck that threw him in the way of
the Scottish ex-soldier within an
hour after rushing from the house
that sheltered Fedora When he heard
Jacks story his honest heart was all
aglow with sympathy and righteous
Indignation
Besides the old martial spirit was
awakened, and he Immediately took
the whole matter in hand, so that from
the hour when his striking personality
was injected into the game Overton
hardly dared breathe without his
august permission.
Presently they drew up and the
driver announced the fact of their ar
rival.
They alighted, and after a short
walk reached a large opening or
glade.
A more ideal place for the peculiar
business about to engross their atten-
ton could not very well have been
found-Nature seems to supply the
opportunity when man desires to en-
gage in any extraordinary feat.
Voices announced the arrival Of the
other party, and presently they
hustled upon the scene, three in num-
Der, Livermore, his second-whom the
McGregor seemed to know very well,
since he shook hands heartily with the
military looking gentleman-and

Causes Women to Take Cold, and So

Eyes, 1 know. Another cold" said
the doctor. Il do not know what med
ical men would do if it were not for
you women" And he turned to the
creature of furs and wraps, smiled one
of his appreciative smiles and contin-
ued: Remove your boa, please. Do
you realize that the high collars that
women wear around their necks are
responsible for nearly all the colds
that your sex gets? 1t is so. Winter
and summer alike you will insist upon
wrapping up your delicate necks in
high silk, velvet, cloth, linen or chif-
fon covering 1t is be not this, why
it is a yard or more of ribbon tightly
drawn about the neck, and naturally
the neck gets tender and oversensi-
tive from the fancy bandages and
swathing that are forever about it.
With the first draught. there is a
cough. My advice to you as a friend
and physician is to go straight home,
and when you cure this cold throw
away your ribbons and other neck
traps. Leave the neck bare. Never
mind what the other woman does. You
will find your health much improved
if you give your neck a chance to get
acquainted with the natural order of
things. My advice does not apply to
YOU alone. 1t is intended for all
women who wear chokey neck stuff
and endanger their health by forever
catching cold. You may not like my
frankness now, but If you follow my
advice you viii bless me inside of six
months and your colds will be few and
far between in the bargain.-New

proud, and who loves me so. II would
be better for you to forget me. l am
not worthy of such love as you have
given me, being, after all, only a weak
girl Forgive me, Jack, oh. forgive
me, II l have wounded your noble
heart. You are angry with me, know,
Jack Alas what else can | do-you
must forgive mel"
He shook her hand from his arm
the flash of diamonds dazzled him.
81 shall never do that-all my life
was at your feet-you trampled on the
hottest emotions man can feel-you
have made me bitter and cynical to-
ward your sex. feel as though l
stood upon new made grave, wherein

my heart. Go back to your guests-to
him. l shall quietly leave this house,
and you will never again see the Jack
Overton you knew Another will
some day take his place and avenge
his bitter wrongs. And so, goodbye"
Her eyes followed his every step.
He was going, and forever. He had
spoken of a fresh made grave as
though it were funeral-well, the de-
cision she had given him rang the
death knell of his hopes. 1t Is always
so solemn to even think of death
perhaps he had some desperate resolu-
tion in view-involuntarily, racked by
this old and still strong regard, she
stretched out her hands after him in
a sudden impulse that was dead almost
as soon as it was born.
"Oh, Jack! forgive-return!"
1t was but a whisper, and as the
music had struck up again, he heard
it not.
Her arms dropped to her sides. for
Jack had passed out Of sight. And
Fedora, who was after all only wo-
man, with woman's weakness, sighed
deeply as she said:
Eyes, it is best-I could never be
happy again away from this bright
existence, for which l was fitted by
nature. He will perhaps find one more
worthy. We must forget-as he says,
bury the past forever. Poor old Jack
heaven be kind to you, and heaven
be merciful to such weak girl as
Fedora Thorpe!"
