the rent on the O0u FellOWS nall
now being used as a conrt house
has been a topic of no little discus
sion for some time past, and at
present S, ems further from a salts
factory settlement than ever. The
bill for the rent was first presented
to the village council, but was re-
jected on the ground that village
board could not legally draw war
rants in payment of county ex-
penses. The bill was then pre-
sented to the county commissioners
who in turn disallowed it, and in
defense of their position referred
the claimants to a paragraph in the
commissioners proceedings of No
vember 30, 1902, which reads as
follows:
1T appearing to this board that
the officers have moved and are
going tu move their offices and rec
ords to the new county seat, this
board hereby agrees that as such
moving has been and is going to
be made by such officers it will pay
the expenses of moving from Mt
Idaho to Grangeville; but it is un-
derstood by the people Of Grange
vile that Grangeviiie will pay for
the next move from the temporary
quarters of said officers to the new
building to occupied AS court
house when completed; also that
this board will pay 500 on the ex-
>pense incurred in fitting up the
temporary quarters, and that
!. ll.Grangeville Shall pay the balance
of such expense and all of the rent
of said temporary quarters"
This did not satisfy the claim,
and on Monday the trustees of Mt.
idaho lodge served the board with
the following notice:
To the Honorable Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners of Idaho County

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

During the past week it has been my
pleasure to visit some of the tobacco
growers in their homes, and look them
in the face and ask my questions and re-
ceive their answers. I find the .,ost of
them net only hopeful but quite expect
ant, for shey have one of the incest col
ored crops of tobacco that l have seen
for many year. The size or quantity is
not equal to some of the crops that /
have had the good fortune to see in some
of the former years. but in my expert
ence as grower | have never seen
more finely colored leaf. l think by the
condition of the market and by the SAM
pie of the goods seen every pound of the
1903 crop will be needed before another
crop can be raised. The probability is
that before the snow has gone in the
spring, the crop will be efectually clean
ed up for the supply is short. Not for
many years has the market been so bare
of New England leaf as at the present
time.
Our own correspondents agree in an
xiety of the growers about getting down
their crops. Conway, Mass: Il have
nothing new to report. Very little OF the
tobacco has been taken from the poles,
and the growers are getting pretty an
xious about it. ! hear in some towns

TEXAS is country of diverse agricul-
ture and surprises and the force of this
truth was manifested not so long ago
when an employe of one of the big rail
roads cut there, off for vacation in
Ohio, took with him an assortment of
samples OF leaf tobacco grown near Ma
cogdoches and exhibited them among a
number of friends engaged in the manu-
facture of tobacco. This gentleman for
merly represented the Spanish govern
ment Id America in the purchase of to-
bacco, and the samples he took were OF
the CUBAN leaf which L. II. Shelter, the
former U. S. government tobacco leaf
expert, has demonstrated can be sue
cessfully grown In the soil of east Texas.
"Wait moment" said one of the manu-
facturers, until | show you what we can
do" and he exhibited a cured leaf which
still had the traces of green in it. is
that your best?" asked the railroad man.
Receiving reply in the affirmative, he
unrolled his rich brown leaf "This is
the Cuban tobacco we grow in East
Texas" said he. The Ohio man seized
his own leaf and swept it into the waste
basket. I'll quit" he exclaimed IF
you can do what you say, you people
down in East Texas have solved the
problem which we have tried in vain to
do What's the best way to reach the
field? I'm going TO do like the man
from Missouri-and see for myself"
This is one of the numerous incidents
which have marked the announcement
that grade of tobacco as fine as that
grown in the Vuelta Abajo district of
Pinar del Rio, Cuba, can be grown in
Texas which fact was seized upon by
great railroad, the Southern Pacific, and
thousands of dollars have been spent in
exploitation of it's possibilities. Already
three million dollar corporation of Chi
cago has gone into the field and inquir-
les have come from every quarter of the
country, as well as from England, Ire
land, Germany, France, Sumatra, Cuba,
Mexico, Australia and South Africa as
to the virtue of the story. There ap-
pears to be little doubt that East Texas
tobacco has stirred up lively interest
in the tobacco world.

LANCAsTER NEW ERA, Nov. "a, 1908.
Nothing doing" were the words that
greeted the tobacco man almost every
where when making his rounds this
week among the packers. The limited
amount of sales found below shows only
too we'll how we'll they know the conoi-
tion of the market. There were no sur
prises, no big sales, or sales that had not
yet been given out, but only few sales
of limited quantities. 1t is the current
belief that there will be slow market
during the remainder of the year. Deal
ers are calling in their statesmen, and all
are getting ready for the annual wind-up
at the end Of the year. ), The sales re-
ported to The New Era are as follows:
Walter S. Bare sold Goes, the growth of
various years; p. L. Leaman & Co. sold
146cs of 1902 crop and 14cs 1901 goods;
w. H Mclaughlin sold SECS, and J. II.
Weaver sold Toes; in all, 352cs. For the
corresponding week of last year the sales
were Toes.
The buying of the new 1908 crop has
about closed for the time being, and
about as suddenly as it began. The
largest buyers-at any rate, those of this
city-have quit operations. The reason
given is that there is too much poor to-
bacco in the crop. There is plenty of
good, they say, but much more that is
poor and does not warrant the prices
asked or paid. 1t is not likely, however,
that buying will be resumed not extern
sively, at least, until after the new year.
At the meeting of the Tobacco Grow
ers and Tobacco Packers, on Monday
afternoon, Mr.. NJ L. Greiger exhibited
samples of the shade-grown Sumatra
raised at Milton Grove and at Marietta.
That grown at the former place was con-
ceded to be far the best, especially in ap
pearance and coor. 1t was nice brown,
or cinnamon, while the latter showed
great deal of green. The wrappery char
acter of the leaves was equal to the best
imported. The samples were really very
fine

New YORK, Nov. 25, 1908.

The recent heavy failures in the trade
is having depressing effect on the ci-
gar leaf market, not only in domestic to-
bacco circles, but in the Sumatra and
Havana lines as we'll. This is due to
the general expectancy that an immense
quantity of goods may be thrown on the
market in the near future by creditors,
and sold for song. The popular idea
of this possibility is greatly exaggerated
and prospective buyers who are indulg-
ing in these wild dreams may be rudely
disillusioned when the matter is finally
disposed of.
Sumatra. things considered, this
market maintains very fair degree Of
activity. Sales are small, but tobacco is
moving steadily.

NOTE BOOB. SKETCHES.

A case of some interest to growers of
tobacco has reached decision through
the appellate court of New York in that
it cons.rues the law governing the writ
ten contracts for the purchase of tobac-
co. The decision is definite in estab-
fishing the fact that grasshopper eaten
tobacco is damaged leaf. The contract
for the sale of the crop that was the is
sue involved called for the delivery of
the tobacco "free from hail, frost, pole
burn, stem rot, fats, wet butts, wet to-
bacco, and free from trashy stuff, and to
be delivered free from any damage" On
the first trial the jury awarded the plain
tiff pay for grasshopper eaten tobacco
which the buyer declined to accept. The
higher court, however, reversed the de-
cision with this comment: 'The con-
tract was complete. 1t provided that
the tobacco was to be free from certain
defects and then contained the general
clause that it was sto be delivered free
from any damage The proof is clear
and it must be self-evident that the to-
bacco leaves which had been nulled over
and eaten through by grasshoppers were
not free from damage" The court also
held that when written contracts are ex-
ecuted that should govern and parole
evidence introduced to modify it's terms
are not competent evidence to admit in
such cases.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGRRToN, Wis, Dec. 4, 1905

With winter set in and the tobacco
crop hanging dry upon the poles and
with no immediate prospect for casing
weather, there is little encouragement
for an early buying movement. Ger
tainly trading can hardly be expected
until the crop comes down from the
sheds and stripping started. Farmers
are anxiously awaiting time when
they can commence this work, SO matters
are we'll near stand still at present.
The market for old leaf has again
lapsed into rather quiet lines as far as
transactions among local dealers are
concerned, though the demand for Wis
consin leaf of serviceable nature in the
eastern markets is reported good. The
only transactions coming to notice are
1S0cs lot '02 goods, sold by Holverson &
Bitters Of Stoughton to Ell. w. Child.
VT Pomeroy & Go. report the sale OF
150cs lot of 'O2 to eastern parties.

One ofsthe big shade growing corpora
tions in New England has been dragged
down by the Sutter Bros. failure, and
this fact is seized upon by the u. S. To-
bacco Journal to denounce the scheme
of growing tobacco under canvas as a
failure. There hardly seems to be much
justification of this announcement. OF
course, the business so far has been
largely experimental and it may yet
prove that growing wrapper leaf under
shade will not prove profitable indus
try. bat it is yet too early to say that. A
large amount of money has been invest
ed in this method of tobacco culture
and SO far as the results obtained in
Florida are in evidence they are not only
successful, but profitable as we'll. In the
New England district there is some cues
ton as to the success of the enterprise,
bat few more experimental years will
decide. For one the writer is willing to
wait and see, giving the people interest
ed the benefit of the doubt. Certainly
the failure of the concern in which the
Suffers held the controlling interest
does not close the discussion or decide
the fate of the scheme by any means.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1903-12-04

A retail tobacco dealer who was un-
able to buy tobacco of the trust except
at prohibitory prices because he refused
to agree to sell trust goods only, took his
grievance into court some time ago and
sued for damages. The United States
Circuit Court of Appeals for the eighth
circuit has now decided against him.
The decision and the reasoning that led
merely by the tobacco trade, bat by all
observers of trusts and their methods.
The tobacconist in question was named
Whitwell, and his store was in st. Paul.
He complied with the Continental To-
bacco Company's conditions until May 8,
1902, and then he began to handle inde-
pendent goods. The trust took prompt
vengeance. The Sherman antitrust law
was the law on which he counted for
protection. The Court of Appeals holds
that the trust had done nothing to re-
strict competition between itself and its
rivals. since the latter were left free to
fix their own terms and prices as they
saw fit. It holds further that tobacco
companies have the right even to refuse
to sell their commodities at any price,
since they are not dealers in articles of
prime necessity as corn or wheat, and
since they are not rendering public or
quasi-puqlic service, like railroad COM
pany" The acts of the trust, it holds,
were 1.-The lawful exercise of their un-
questioned rights, which are indispensa
BILE to the existence of competition or
the conduct of trade" Independent to-
bacco dealers, both wholesalers and re-
tailers, are being almost daily forced to
the wall by the present conditions of
business. The trust may not be guilty
of any restraint of competition, accord
ing to the letter of the law, but some
way or other its competitors are being,
not merely restrained, but annihilated.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1903-12-04

A Lancaster county man. who has
spent the last six months among the to-
bacco plantations of Cuba, writes the
following almost incredible facts: For
years and years they have raised seed
from the second crop of suckers, as the
first prime crop was too valuable to
waste. This resulted in great deter
ioration of the seed, and I often wonder
that they raise any tobacco at all. Plants
command fabulous prices, and even then
are hard to get. They tried to raise
some here. They sowed ten pounds of
seed on an acre, and didn't get enough
plants to set an acre of tobacco. Forty
miles from here q company has a seed
bed of thirty acres"
