NORTH YAKIMA FIRE
LOSS is ESTIMATED At NEARLY
100000, WELL INSURED.
Northern Pacific Freight Depot and
A Block Of Wholesale Houses Went
Up-Man and Boy lnjured-change
in Direction of Wind Saved Town
From Destruction.

North Yakima, Wash, May 6.-Fire
has wiped out a block of wholesale
warehouses bounded by the Northern
Pacific right of way, Selah street, A
street and Yakima avenue. entailing a
loss of 100000. only partially covered
by insurance.
The Northern Pacific freight depot
was entirely consumed. It was filled
with freight and the company is the
heaviest sufferer from the fire. For
time it appeared as if the western part
of the city would go, but a change in
the wind saved this section by hard
work. The Northern Pacific passen-
ger depot was saved. which prevented
the big buildings on Front street
from catching fire.
Thomas Clemain, IA year old boy,
was struck by shot of an exploding
shell in the Yakima Hardware com
pan and seriously injured about the
face.
James Metcalf, a volunteer fireman,
fell from building and was badly
hurt. Both injured were removed to
the hospital.
The fire originated in the Pioneer
Lumber company's plant from an I'M
known cause and burned with great
rapidty. Six of the eight buildings
in the block were frame, as was the
Northern Pacific depot.
The fire leaped from Yakima and
Selah street. but the blazes We're ex-
tinguished before they gained head
way. Had it gained foothold on Sc
lah street a large part of the resi-
dence district would have been con.
sumed.
Big Fire the Day Before.
Fire starting from crossed electric
wires or a defective fue destroyed the
Yakima county courthouse. The
blaze started near the roof, which gave
plenty of time to save the county
records. In offices having vaults the
records were hurridly placed in safe
ty. Scores of persons labored tc
carry books from the other offices and
/ deposit them in the streets and near
| by houses. 1t was a frame structure
and burned rapidly after getting q
start.
A dozen prisoners were in jail in the
basement Of the building. When the
fire was discovered they were mar
shaded in the rear of the Jail, and wher
it was seen the building was doomed
they were handcuffed in pairs and re
moved to the city Jail. The Indian and
negro prisoners appeared as cool as
the white men. as Sheriff Grant, will

The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1906-05-25

A matter worth considering on the
part of tobacco farmers is the increasing
demand for vast leaf Or rubbish The
advance in prices of the better grades of
cigar leaf tobacco has thrown keener in
terest on inferior leaf, better known as
trash On some farms and at various
warehouses there accumulates lot of
rubbish which hitherto has either been
thrown away or else put on the fields as
a fertilizer This season such Gull to-
bacco is selling all the way from l to 3
cents pound. Some packers and farm
ers seem to infer that simply because
the waste leaf is of such little value, it
doesn't pay to keep it clean. The prac-
tice should be stopped before the matter
receives the attention of pure food re-
formers. Tobacco interests have enough
to contend with at present without an
onslaught from the health authoritie>
Individual growers and packers should
take it upon themselves to give more
care to the cleanliness of this rubbish.

New YORK. MAY 16. 1906.

There is a sharp demand for good, old
domestic filters, particularly Wisconsin,
but the quantity of 1904 Wisconsin BIS
on the market is so small that an active
market can hardly be said to exist. The
Pennsylvania Broad leaf is also entirely
out of the market. There have been
some sales of new Connecticut Havana
Seed, and owing to the high prices for
binders from all sections quite an inter
est centers in the dark wrappers, in
which already some transactions have
taken place. Farmers are getting their
seedbeds ready for the new crop, and
some increase in acreage is looked for.
Sumatra.-A number of good sales are
reported for the past week, and the buy
ing movement in the new Sumatra seems
to have begun.
Havana. = An eighty two bale ship
ment of new Havana reached New York
this Week-the first of the new to come
over in commercial quantities. It has
been duly inspected by the trade, and in
quality, texture and burn has given a
pleasant surprise, being excellent in all
respects.
The following is from private letter
received from Havana today: "Prices
for Remedies tobacco continue very high
but packing operations have been much
retarded on account of the weather be-
ing unfavorable in that section. 1t is
| undoubtedly fact that if the high
prices in Remedies continue, and there
is every indication of their doing So the
| cost of tobacco when packed will be
higher this year than at any time since
the war The farmers have received
double the amount paid them for their
tobacco last year, and as result of this
an air of gloom seems to rest on many
firms who usually make escojidas in
Remedies. Naturally the expressions
| used toward the people held mainly re-
sponsible for this state of affairs would
never be used in a ladys parlor, nor look
well in cold type in the Tobacco Leaf.
In the meantime, holders of old Rene
dios are not worried" leaf

LANCASTER, PENN, May 10, 1906.
If inquiries constituted business, our
leaf tobacco dealers would be busy men
when, as matter of fact, they are any
thing bat that. They very generally re-
fuse the prices offered for their goods
and will not sell on conditional terms.
Not many visiting buyers are offering
over 1872 cents pound for the new
goods. and as our packers think the
price will eventually go to 25 cents, there
are few sales, and only in small lots. Not
single large packing has been sold this
season. It is pretty generally admitted
that the big cigar manufacturers have
all the leaf on hand that they need, for
if it was not the case the buyers would
be falling over one another to get the
goods at any price. That they are not
offering fancy prices is pretty good evi-
dence that the market is not cleaned out
of old goods.
A little planting for the coming season
has been done, but not enough to count.
The young plants are doing nicely, and
as most are under canvas, the late cold
weather did not harm them. With a
week or ten days of warm weather plant
ing would be general.
The cigar trade spruced up little
during the past week, but it is still too
quiet for our manufacturers comfort

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERroN, Wis, May %, 1906.

With continued warm weather and
local showers, the plant beds are making
rapid advancement, and before another
issue of this paper the work of planting
will be commenced in localities where
beds were early sown. The prospects
for good healthy plants of the proper
size were never better at this time of the
year and all feel encouraged.
The hustle for trash continues and
another firm has gone into this business
the past week. 1t is novelty to see a
dealer start out in the morning with a
double team and platform wagon and
come back at night with big load of
this cheap stuff. Doty & Pease and
Serns are the chief operators and for be-
ginners in the tobacco business they are
cleaning up very satisfactory profits.
The shipments out of storage from this
market to all points for the week reach
only 300 cases.

NEW YORK, May l5, ISUo
With the premature advent of the dog
days the market seems to have lapsed
into condition of lassitude. Business
is neither forced nor pushed. Holders
of stock await the coming of buyers with
almost supreme Indifference. If the
prices asked are accepted sales are made,
otherwise not The cheerful disposition
of the lucky owner of any old stock is
not the least perturbed even if weeks
pass without booking sale. He is sure
his time will come, too, and the longer
he waits the more his stock will appre-
ciate. This holds good for the domestic
as we'll as the Havana leaf. A big rush
of buyers to Cuba is hardly expected
this year Whatever of activity there is
in the market at present concerns chief
ly the Sumatra, in which commodity
trading seems to be quite up to date.
Buyers have become reconciled to the
advanced price of the new crop because
it's yield and perfection reduces largely
the enhanced cost of it's consumption.
AS about half the inscriptions are over, a
lowering of the price is hardly among
the possibilities and with the increased
consumption of Sumatra in this country
any speculation on depression of price
on account of excessive buying would
likewise prove a failure. Journal. @
