OUR TRADE
Portland Representative
Seeking Business
Reciprocity.

w A Mears, secretary of the Oregon
Wholesale Grocers' Association, whc
was designated as the special delegate
of the Portland merchants to the Ha-
waiian Islands, to drum up trade, ar
rived on the Sonoma yesterday.
The determination of the Portland
merchants to take this step came at
the time the Matson steamer Hilonian
departed from Portland for Honolulu
on the last trip. There was a gather
ing of merchants in the cabin on the
occasion of a dinner given them by
Captain Johnson and they decided that
the possibility of establishing trade re-
lations was worth a visit by one OF
their number and Mr.. Mears was Sc
lected Before leaving for Honolulu,
Mr. Mears outlined the reasons for the
trip as follows:
LAS for my trip to- Hawaii, / am go
ing as the delegate of the merchants of
Portland, and have my credentials
made out as secretary of the trans
portation committee of the Chamber
of Commerce, and as the representa-
tive of the local merchants, shall
thoroughly investigate the wants of the
islanders and ascertain what commodi-
ties they have which may be of use to
u.s. It will be my purpose in every
way possible to instil into the mer-
chants of the islands the fact that
Portland is well able to satisfy many
of their wants, and that our country
is ready and willing to open trade re-
lations on broad scale, with the Ter
ritory of Hawaii.
''This is no mean task, for the is
landers have been looking toward San
Francisco rs the base of their sup
plies for over so years, and to turn
the tide of trade elsewhere will require
considerable effort on the part of the
local merchants After visiting Homo
lulu, I shall go to Hilo, and continue
the same line there. as we want the
whole territory to know of Oregon's
resources"

The opening rally of the campaign
by the Republicans was held last night
in Aala Park, fifteen hundred voters
and shouters gathering before the flag
bedecked bandstand and literally ap-
plauding the various sentiments ex-
pressed by the speakers. Delegate
Kuhio received an ovation from the
crowd and was praised at length by
each of the orators, who one and ali
declared him their choice as the Repub-
lican candidate to succeed himself as
the Territorial Delegate ct Washington.
There was no uncertain sound about
any of the speeches in this regard.
On the platform with Chairman
Senator Lane and the Delegate Were
the wheelhorses of the party. A. q.
M. Robertson, member of the National
Committee; Charles Hustace, chairman
of the county committee; b. Fabian,
secretary of the committee; George w.
Smith, chairman of the county board of
supervisors: Hon. E. w. Quinn, Hon.
David Kanuha, w. q. Smith, w. w.
Harris, Jas. Quinn, Hon. Kanealii, and
a score of others.
Promptly at 8 O'Clock Chairman
Lane called the meeting to order, max
ing short address before introducing
A. G. M. Robertson. The meeting had
been called, he explained, to listen to
the report of the Delegate, against
whom there had been reports circulated
of incompetency, but who had, as all
must acknowledge, done more for the
Territory than any other man would
have been able to accomplish.
ROBERTSON NAMES KUHIo.
Mr.. Robertson said that it gave, him
pleasure to break the outburst of silence
with which he had been accused and to
open the campaign for which all the
voters were anxious. 1t had been said
that there was too much politics IN Ha-
waii and in a sense this was right.
There was too much small politics,
backbiting, carping and faultfindlng,
but of large politics and the discussion
of important matters there was too lit

Sio@iHS AMONG Inc people who play
the game. They feel that it is not a
square deal for men to hold back until
convention day and then spring their
boom as dark colts. This is demanded
of all sides. The Republicans are said
to have two dark horses for each office
and those not in the center of the bunch
want to know what is coming.
KUHIo IN FAVOR.
Personally 1 have nothing against
Kuhio.'' said well known Democrat
yesterday" but it is nonsense to say
we are not going to put UP a candidate
against him. We will do that if only to
preserve our organization. The feeling
that this is the time to put up a white
man for delegate does. not appeal to
me. I believe that Kuhio has done well
and what ne has said about the difficult
ties which confront delegate is true.
If we are to put up white man we
are to start the cry of color line when
it should be our aim to wipe it out
There has been too much of that al
ready and we want no more of it. Take
Maui as an instance The natives up
pie are against them and as a result
they have prepared an all native ticket.
The impression was conveyed to them
by the actions of the Republican pot
house politicians who have 1monkeyed
with the votes in the past and who will
do SO again if they are not watched"
This gentleman is strong in the be-
lief that there will be Democrat nom |
mated against Brown. stronger in that
than he is in the belief that the Demo-
cratic candidate will win. He considers |
Brown a lively candidate. But his |
surroundings could be improved" this |
gentleman remarked. IT am satisfied to |
take his side as to his honesty but that |
does not mean that I would work for |
him; could hardly work against our
own candidate. Lane seems to know |
Vida.''
There We're funny rumors going about |
town yesterday relative to deal be- !
tween Johnson and Lucas to throw /
Vida. Lucas in the most serious tone
said the nomination of a deputy sher-
iff would depend entirely upon the dele |
gates to the convention. Personally het
says he is out of politics and is not
putting men to work on Liliha street |
for the sake of beating this man Vida.
It's up to the convention to say who
shall rum said Jack, II am not in the
game. L do not believe Vida will be
nominated but I am pretty sure that
Brown wants him to run. I am for
Brown, but l am not stuck on Vida
so hard that 1 could not break away.
The men I am putting to work on Lii
liha street are from all of the precincts.
If I wanted to beat him in that way
[ would put only seventh precinct men
to work there

of the crop has been taken down the
buying will begin in earnest, at least TO
all appearances. The agent of the Mey-
er Il Mendlesohn firm came into town at
one thirty Sunday to be able to start in
with the early birds. They have not as
yet bought any, or very little, in this
vicinity, and people had begun to in
quire whether the shops belonging to
them would be run this winter. In all
probability this firm will buy some goods
in this locality, but they are very pru-
dent men and run very few risks in buy
ing, and have waited until the tobacco
had been taken down and was being
stripped, so that good estimate can be
made OF the whole crop. Perhaps 10
years past they, too, may have bought
pig in a poke. and don't care to indulge
in the hurry business any more. When
tobacco can be bought at low figure
there is not the chance to be beaten
quite so badly as when tobacco is selling
for 16c to 2Oc in the bundle. Tobacco
hanging in the shed may appear sl' right
on the outside of the shed, better, in
fact, than the center of the shed, or the
upper tiers, and when the tobacco is dry
it is hard to examine the crop in man
ner thorough enough to warrant paying
even the straight price of 15c or l6c. If
the crop should prove poor there is no
lower class or grade that will return the
first cost of the goods, while with low
er price such damaged goods may be
dropped without the whole bottom of
the trade tumbling out.
Our correspondents report as follows:
North Hadley, Mass: Tobacco buyers.
are moving lively, but prices offered are
somewhat below the expectations of the
farmers. About one hundred acres were,
sold last week at prices ranging from ID,
to 18c in the bundle" This report was
received too late for last week. Mon
tague, Mass: Growers in town. have
improved the past rain in taking tobacco
from the poles Some have their crops
all down, and all have made good be-
ginning. No sales to report. A fine
crop is the unanimous opinion of all the
growers" Bradstreet, Mass: "A large
share of the growers in this vicinity fin-
ished taking down tobacco last Satnr-
day. The crop is in fine condition, and
we feel Justly proud of the crop we are
putting into the bundle. No sales to re-
port this week, except John Brennan,
who reports as sold acres at 1e cents in
the bundle" North Hatfield Mass: II
report the sale of the crop of tobacco by
r. M. Swift of 81 acres at around 1Sc.
Much of the crop in this vicinity was
taken down last Saturday, and the farm
ers are very busy stripping day and
night. Mr.. Leslie Swift is reported as
buying a few lots Oct. %, but have not
learned who we're the sellers" Amherst,
Mass: Tobacco buyers have been busy
in this section for the past ten days, and
it is estimated tnat fully two-thirds of
the tobacco in town has been bought at
an average price of 16c in the bundle >

DOES the Milwaukee Free Press take
US all for gudgeons? Listen to this: "lt
is an insult at this late day to attempt
to convince Wisconsin tobacco raisers
that Philippine tobacco brought to this
country at the reduced tariff rate pro-
posed in the Philippine tariff bill would
place Wisconsin farmers in competition
with the miserable farmers of the island.
The only effect of the importation of to-
bacco from the Philippines will be to re-
duce the amount of tobacco of the same
grades imported from other countries.
The total crop of tobacco raised in the
Philippines, if brought to this country
would not affect the price of tobacco
raised here to the amount of cent IA
ton" Isn't that statement a dandyr
Congressman Cooper admits the tobacco
production of the islands to exceed $4,000
acres-more than double the amount Of
Wisconsin which raises nearly One-half
the acreage of cigar leaf in the United
States. Under American development
and free market the amount cultivated
can be easily doubled, and it is cigar leaf,
too Just exactly the kind likely to re-
place Wisconsin as a binder. This is
the reason why the entire trade is unan-
imous in opposition to the Philippine
legislation. The insult rather is leveled
at the intelligence of the tobacco grow
ers of the state by such ignorance as iss
displayed by the Free Press.

NEW YORK, Oct. "a, 1906.

Some big transactions have been put
through during the past week in Penn
sylvania Broad leaf and Wisconsin to-
bacco. About 3, 600 cases of the former
and $500 cases of the latter changed
hands-both of the 1905 crop. Reports
from the growing sections of Pennsyl-
vania state that prices for the 1906 crop
are steadily moving upwards, and many
of our local packers are wondering where
they Will stop. If reports from the state
of Florida can be relied upon, we may
expect to see fancy prices prevail for the
next crop. Already as high as sixty-f five
cents pound is being offered to the
tition to secure the outside" crops next
year will be keener than ever before.
Hints that an attempt will be made to
corner the crop are frequently made.
Sumatra. There is a steady demand
for this type of goods. Judging from
present conditions, long before this years
crop sees the Frascati next spring, the
stocks now in the hands of American i'm
porters will have disappeared.
Havana. Just now the importers are
felicitating themselves upon the fact
that the Cuban revolution of recent date
and sacred memory made an early start
on the crop impossible. Had the farm
ers got good start, the plants would
have been large enough to have suffered
in the recent cyclone. AS it was, they
had not been set out, and it is hoped
that the damage done was not severe.
Anyhow, it is less severe than il the
storm had come two weeks later Or il
the plants lad been started two weeks
earlier. The local market is as dead as
door nail, and everybody is awaiting
eagerly for news from Cuba, consoling
themselves with the belief that no news
is good news.-Leaf.

Lancaster.


LANCASTER, L a., OCG. Ic, ICOO.
The local leaf tobacco market contin-
ues dull, the largest sale reported being
l65 cases of 1905 goods by John D. Skiles.
The prices continue about the same as
they have been for many weeks, around
l9 and 20 cents pound. Packers, gen
orally, expected raise 10 prices during
September, but here October is more
than half gone and still there is no raise
in prices The local packers were con-
fdent of having 25 cents pound by this
time. Many want to turn the money in
vested in 1905 tobacco into the pew CROP
and they want the warehouse room, too.
Buying of the new crop continues, and
at good prices, though there is no rush
after it. The prices range from Ii and 5
to Is and 4. and the average price may
be set down as Is cents through. Fully
half the crop has been bought up.
The cigar trade continues to boom,
and there is the same cry for more cigar
makers that has gone up for the last
couple of weeks.
It was reported today that Abram
Mann, of Millersville, had sold his entire
packing, 1900 cases of 1905 tobacco, to

The buying movement is being pushed
in all sections with every indication that
the crop is to be cleaned up even to the
remnants and tail ends. The most active
men in the field of late are the buyers
for the American Cigar Co., who are
sweeping up things pretty clean, and at
the present rate there will be but little
left to buy in the bundle. Prices remain

the local markets during the week but
no important transactions in old leaf are
recorded.

broken this week when small crop of

Paul Lee. 1t is rare that new tobacco is
stripped and ready for delivery in Octo-

ELECTION day is not legal holiday on
which the schools of the state are closed.
This is the opinion given by State Su
perintendent of Schools G. P. Cary. He
declares that the statutes specifically ex-
cludes general election day from the list
of legal holidays for schools. Primary
election day must be called a legal holi-
day for schools, he declared, in the ab-
sence of any specific statute or direction
to the contrary. In the same opinion
Superintendent Gary decided that a
school board had the right to require a
teacher to remain in the school building
during the noon hour to prevent the
pupils from destroying school furniture,
and property.

New York.
NEW YORK. Oct. q. 1906

The most prominent feature of the
leaf market this week were large trans
actions in the 1905 Wisconsin. In spite
of it's considerable damage there was
almost greedy grab at it and the only
effect the damage seemed to have was
to raise the price. Over 5000 cases were
disposed of chiefly in bulk lots of over
thousands. Nor was there any neglect
noticeable of filler types. The smaller
manufacturers are beginning to fill up
their supply of filler stock as much as
either their actual means or credit will
permit them to. Sumatra continues in
active demand and so does the Havana.
That the market is not being swept clean
of it's holdings is probably due to the
fact that manufacturers are over rushed
just now with too much of their own
business to have any time for making
extensive purchases.-Journal.
