Tobacco Finest in the World.

some OF the finest tobacco In the world is
grown today in the Philippines. AS is the
case with everything there. however the
land remains uncultivated for lack Of work.
ing capital Millions are to be made by
raising tobacco. Maize and rice are readily
raised, but, so far, merely for home con-
sumption. The excellent quality of these
products proves conclusively that the latent
possibilities Of the islands are practically
without limit. Cacao (chocolate) Is another
native product which may be raised 1lpon
this rich soil with minimum amount OF
cultivation.
It is difficult to realize how handicanned
all these native industries are for the lack
Of machinery. The greater part Of the rice
gathered in the Philippines in fact, practi-
cally all Of 1t, Is taken out by hand. The
same primitive methods obtain in other
industries in all parts Of the islands And
these conditions are due to poverty, nothing
else. for the natives are naturally progress
chtnery.
Hemp Industry.
The hemp industry IL an important one
and Is capable Of widespread Improvement.
In many parts Of the islands hemp is grow
ing wild in large quantities and literally go
ing to waste. 1t would require very little
capital to bring this into the market and the
profits should be great. It Is the same with
chocolate. Inspector White Of the constab-
his rounds, immense groves Of wild choco-
late In the mountains, literally going to
waste. In one place he saw q grove of
$4,000 acres Of wild chocolate waiting to be
picked. As I said before. the neglect of
such opportunities by Americans Is simply
inexplicable-
Then, again, the mineral wealth of the
Philippines Is alone most tempting for the
investor, or rather for the mine prospector
and MINER since 1t has as yet remained
literally untouched. am told that, judg-
ing from the geological formations Of the
islands the value Of their deposits IL beyond
computation. The greater part Of the
islands indeed, practically the entire group
il an undiscovered country, 80 Tar as min
erals are concerned.

marshes. The recent heavy frosts
affected all the marshes some, but to
what degree is hard to tell. The
different growers estimate the damage
anywhere from 5 to Is per cent We
hope it may prove to be not over 10
per cent. A big crop of cranberries
always proves to be good thing for
Wood county, as the money all remains
at home. Mr.. and Mrs. Lester are
genial entertainers and have beauii-
ful home pleasantly located upon a
high elevation from which they have
a fine birds eye view of the whole
surrounding country. It is an ideal
place to rest and refresh one self
from the trials attendant upon an
active business life.

Apios NEWETT.

NDbOS NEWELL
 It is beginning to dawn upon us that We have been giving that little Mich igan man more notoriety than he is entitled to.
 Any professional mining man can see "knocker" written all over him in letters bigger than a grocery sign. Of course it is our duty to oounteract his slanderous aspersions so far as possible. but the Copper Glance and Warren district are not worrying in per has a hard name any way, and Newett knewit when he named it Iron Ore IL now trans .pires that Newett was down here some time last fall His inYestiga- tions were confined 10 precipitating nutritious sediment from green turtle soup in the spacious dining room of the Copper Queen hotel He jumped on the Bisbte Miner for predicting a copper strike in the Glance at 200 feet below the present lowest works. Ire Miner is handled by man who knows more about copper in ten minutes than Newett ever knew, man, moreover. who is intimately acquainted with this district and every conceivable detail thereto relating. A man who Is thoroughly acquainted with the Glance and owns property nearly all around it, and it is remarkable if his judg- ment in this instance is not as good as that of some wayfaring knocker who tips his feet upon the sideboari and dreams through his hat The Copper Glance people. so for from congratulating themselves OF the warm indications of copper in their shaft, are badly disappointed They did not want ore in the shaft. but 1t looks very much as if they would get it. Newett doesn't know enough to understand that the management wanted to get their shaft out in hard country" then drift to the ore, 50 their shaft would not be raveling or them all the time.
 Newett imagihes he is funny in re- gard to the water in that shaft. It must be that he has swallowed some if it in view of the superb quality of copper lined gall which he carries about with him
 We know the proposition which Newett is boosting. and it may be ner- itorious. ir any event, we are not eo- ing to knock on our neignhors to get even with Newett, and hereafter 1t is quite likely we shall pass the maR ID like white chip with aoie in lt DEALS AND
