Respecting the recent opening of bids for the construction work in con- nectiOn with the TontO dam Denver paper says
 "Chief Engineer F. II. Newell, Of the United States reclamation service, left Denver last night for Washington. With him he took the plans and spec- cations, as well as a number of bids, for the construction of the great res. ervoir on Salt river, in Arizona.
 All day yesterday he was in con- ference with Arthur Powell Davis, principal engineer of the reclamation service A. l.. Fellows, of the Denver headquarters John E.

Wal ter, district engineer of the Black Hills.
 "A number of informal bids and proposals that had been asked for were considered and rough estimate made as to the cost of the reservoir. This will be little more than $J,000,000. This estimate, with the plans and Spe- cificatiOnS, will be submitted to Secre- tary of the Interior Hi tchcOck, and on his decision will rest he building of the gigantic reservoir.

Change In Regulations.

Various interests in the tobacco trade
are seeking to have made certain modi-
fcations in the regulations of the Inter
nal Revenue Bureau with view to fa-
cilitating business transactions, and also
to secure protection against illegitimate
competition. In addition, the bureau
has found it necessary to make certain
changes in the regulations to conform
more closely to the statues as construed
in the light of recent experience.
A number of leaf dealers in different
parts of the country have suggested to
the bureau the desirability of modifying
the regulations concerning leaf dealers
accounts. These accounts are now re-
quired to be closed up quarterly and
turned over to local collectors. 1t has
been pointed out to the Commissioner
that considerabl time and labor are ex
pended in the balancing and verifcation
of leaf dealers books, and it is urged
that the regulations be so modified as to
permit the books to be balanced semi
annually rather than quarterly. 1t is
suggested that these balances be taken
at the end of the calendar and fiscal
years The matter is being carefully
considered

ew York.
New YORK, MAY 16. 1903.


The lull in the market seems to con-
tinue and yet there is no visible cause
for it. For the cigar industry is not only
holding it's own, but steadily increasing
it's output. The lull is therefore one of
those occasional occurrences to which
the market is subjected periodically and
to which it ought to be accustomed by
this time. Nevertheless some transac-
tions took place which show which way
the wind blows. A sale was made of 300
cases of 1900 Wisconsin at stiff figure.
The scarcity, if not absolute famine of
binder leaf, compels manufacturers to
pay the patient holders of 1900 Wiscon-
sin their price. In Sumatra an average
weekly business was done. In view of
the stern fact that the domestic wrapper
leaf supply is both in quantity and avail
ability far behind the supply of the past
few years, the Sumatra market ought to
be not only brisk, but booming A re-
pose has set in in the Havana market
which was thriving for the past few
months, but that repose is not likely to
last very long, as manufacturers have re-
allied that they cannot count on fresh
supply of the new Remedies crop. In
factory vegas the demand is exceeding
the supply, and there is a new tendency
noticeable of buying strictly Havana
wrapper leaf. This tendency would
prove that the hold which our domestic
clear Havanas have taken of the con-
sumner is extending gradually to the
higher grades.-Journal.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis, May %, 1908.

EDGERTON, WIS.,. May zl, lSU0.
The loose ends of a packing season are
being quietly gathered in and when a
few more of the warehouses have fin
ished handling the crop, vacation season
will be on all along the line.
Nothing has developed during the
week in the matter of transactions de-
noting that any effort is at present made
towards increasing the holdings of local
dealers. Old leaf is selling but sparingly
both at home and abroad, and trade no.
where as satisfactory as could be wished.
The work of preparing the fields for
another crop has commenced. The
plant beds are making headway with in
dications of an abundance of plants in
most localities at the usual transplant
ing season, which is now about two
weeks away.
Packers who have made an examina-
tion of the sweating bulks report that
the curing is now we'll under way and
but little damage of any nature is to be
found in their packings.
The shipments out of storage reach
but 13 car loads, 61Ocs, to all points from
this market for the week past.

EVANSVILLE, WIS, May 81, 1908.


The warm, summer-like weather of the
past two days has had very salutary
effect upon the growing plants and they
have made most remarkable growth
during that time. The young plants are
plentiful ard as far advanced in growth
as in the average season. Aside from an
occasional frost there has been little to
disturb the steady growth of the plants.
A few farmers are preparing their fields
for transplanting, but that work will not
begin for several weeks.
In cured leaf matters remain about
the same as for several weeks past, dull
and uneventful. A few days ago T.. B.
Carle & Son received 152cs of 1901 in the
northern part of Dane county.
Friday evening a reception and ban
quet was rendered j. M. Thayer at the
Hotel Myers, in honor of his fourth

bacco business of GAINESVILLE, died in that

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

A valuable letter from w. W. Sander
son expresses thought that | have al
luded TO- That is to which allusion has
previously been made. Mr.. Sanderson
thinks it passing strange that the pro-
moters of the corporation have appar-
entity given mp the ghost, or fizzled out
at the very time that they should be the
most active. Many growers had conti-
dence in the leaders of that work and
have been lead to put in more tobacco
thai they otherwise would have done.
And now the spectators are driving
around offering 3 to 315c reweight, for
filters, pretending it is for export pur-
poses. The market holds dull. Nj. San
derson is large grower of tobacco and
also runs a packing house, keeping
score of men employed each winter sort
ing and packing for others. His last
years packing still hangs on his hands.
He sold lately one low-grade crop at lOc,
and says prices for all grades rule lower.
About the usual acreage will be put out
this spring; no increase. Growers can
not get offers as good as those of last
fall. When the force sweated is all TAX
en- up, there are strong hopes for an i'm
provement.
Our correspondents write as follows:
Suffield, Ct: 1--WE learn that H. A. But
toms warehouse was burned and the
contents all destroyed, his own crop,
with the rest. He had eight acres all
sorted and packed" North Hadley:
"There will be about the usual amount
of tobacco planted this year; no increase.
Plants are good under glass, but open
beds are backward. In regard to cor
poration I think it would be e. good
thing for the growers if they would take
hold of it. The trouble is that each one
is waiting to see how it will work, and
the result is that no one goes into it here
in this place." South Deertield, May 4
Zone low grade crop sold at 1Oc. About

bacco; no increase. Prices offered are

offered there is little encouragement for
our growers to raise tobacco. ."-Cultiva-

hands at good figures. There is fair
demand for all serviceable grades.-Leaf.

The dullness of the last few weeks was
broken during the past eight days, much
to the satisfaction of all concerned.
There was qnite demand for 1902
goods, and even the slow moving 1901
crop was also called for, all of which is
very encouraging, and we hope is indica-
tive of general and continuous move
ment in all kinds of domestic tobaccos.
The sales that have been reported to us:
are 100cs of 1901 goods, sold by l. H
Weaver; 22lcs of 1902 goods, sold by j.,
w. Brenneman, and Toes of 1901 goods;
sold to a Western jobber; Toes bought,

An interesting experiment in the force
sweating of Havana tobacco has been
completed at Hartford. Clark Brothers
had their 45-acre crop of Havana seed
sweat in bulk, the same as Sumatra. 1t
has come through the sweat in fine con-
dition and has been packed in boxes
They have also baled some of the fine
wrappers. By sweating in this way they
were able to carefully inspect the tobac
CO that went into the boxes and to Gull
out any that was damaged. This did
away with the necessity of resweating
the poor tobacco on the sides, top and
bottom of the cases, as is often done by
the manufacturers. 1t is a little more
expensive than the old way of sweating
in cases. Staunton F. Brown is having
his crop force sweat in the same way and
it is coming through in fine condition.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

The board of trade Thursday night &C
cepted an offer made by A. Bekkedahl of
Westby to build large tobacco sorting
plant here. The factory will be able to
handle 100000 worth of tobacco during
the present season. Construction will
be started within short time. A James
vile capitalist whose name is being with
held will be given a site to cost approx
imately $4,000 upon which he has con-
tracted O erect plant with a capacity
equal to the first mentioned. d.-LaCross
Dispatch.
The information conveyed above that
Mr.. Bekkedahl, who conducts two ware
houses at Westby, and one each at Viro-
qua, Soldiers Grove and Boscobel, is
seeking to remove portion of business
to another point raises the inquiry as to
what is the matter of the present loca-
tions. Is it because of the extraordinary
valuation placed upon tobacco in storage
by the Vernon county authorities? The
efforts of Mr.. Dahl, the representative OF
that county in the assembly to single
out tobacco as a special commodity for
taxation, through bill that failed to be.
come law, lends color to the opinion
that the local packers of that district
want to follow the lead of the foreign
corporations in trying to get away from
the rapacious tax-gatherers. Such agi-
tation as the writer has before pointed
out can work whole lot of injury to the
tobacco packing points of this state.

Death Visits Parsonage.

The home of Rev. and Mrs. w. ]
Mccoy, at the Methodist parsonage
was saddened this week by the
death of their son, Charles. The
young man suffered from an attack
of appendicitis, and, reaching a
critical stage, an operation was per-
formed, but there was no resource
of human skill to arrest the en-
croachment of the malady, and
hence death followed, occurring Mon
day evening at 7.30 o'clock. Charles
was thirteen years of age, a bright,
honorable, affectionate son, an am
bilious student and a companion
able schoolfellow. He was one of
those sterling young characters
around whom center the fondest
hopes and anticipations Of the fam
lily and Preside. At the eight years
he volunteered his allegiance to the
Savior and thenceforth became
follower of his Lord and Master.
