There are three ways used by far
mers for curing and preparing their
tobacco for the market; namely, sun
cured, air cured and fue cured. The
old and cheap way is called air cured;
the later discovery and improved way
is called fue cured. In fue-curing
the tobacco is taken from the field
and suspended over intensely hot
fues in houses especially built to re-
tain the heat, and there kept in the
proper temperature until this curing
process developes in the tobacco the
stimulating taste and fragrant aroma
found in Schnapps tobacco, just as
green coffee is made fragrant and
stimulating by the roasting process.
Only choice selections of this ripe,
juicy fue cured leaf, grown in the
famous Piedmont country, where the
best tobacco grows, are used in
Schnapps and other Reynolds brands
of high grade, fue cured tobaccos.

Hundreds of imitation brands are
on sale that look like Schnapps; the
outside of the imitation plugs of to-
bacco is fue cured, but the inside is
filled with cheap, fimsy, heavily
sweetened air cured tobacco: one
chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco
hunger longer than two chews of
such tobacco.
Expert tests prove that this flue
cured tobacco, grown in the famous
Piedmont region, requires and takes
less sweetening than any other kind,
and has a wholesome, stimulating,

NO PROMISE Of
CHEAPER FUEL

From present indications the cost
of fuel will be as high next winter
as it was last.
There was a general belief that
the high prices paid for fuel last
winter would result in an over
stocking of the local market with
wood this summer, but there is no
apparent reason to hope for this re.
suit.
Nelson Martin, manager of the
Rock Springs Coal & Wood Co.,
said today that the prospects for a
plentiful supply of either wood OF
coal next winter was becoming
poorer every day. He said the
Wyoming coal mines were, to a
great extent, tied up by strike
The o. R. & N. railroad, which
really owns these mines, for years
has been successful in keeping
their miners from organizing, but
recently the men joined the union
with the result that the Hartman
people closed down the mines and
have started to evict the miners
from houses owned by the railway
company. There is practically nc
coal coming from Rock Springs al
present. said Mr.. Martin, the o. r
& N. securing coal from British Co
lumbia via the Corbin road.
Conditions in British Columbia
are not much better than on this
side Of the line, and | expect to see
high prices continue throughout
next winter"
Martin Dolan, another well
known dealer in fuel said that th\
price of wood next winter would
exceed that of last year, and esti.
mates that coal will probably range
at $3.50 per ton or higher. On &C
count of high wages paid in logging
camps 1t is almost impossible to
secure men to cut wood.
Many people who are able are
contracting for wood and will have
! 1t brought Into town in carload lots
Where person cannot take an en-
tire car pool is formed. Wood
delivered in carload lots at the
homes of the people will cost al
the present time about $3.50 when
sawed.

TESTIMONY

SAN FRANCISCO, June 7.-Un
less the prosecution in the Schmitz
case decides to compel Ruef to take
the stand to testify, the defendant
will not have to act as a witness
in his own behalf. This was de.
cided this morning at conference
of attorneys for the defense. They
believe they will be able to prove
the innocence of Schmitz without
taking the desperate step Of asking
their client to tell his own story.
The prosecution still maintains
silence in regard to proposed course
of action relative to Ruef. Heney
declares he will be able to send
Schmitz to San Quentin without
Ruefs testimony.
A larger crowd than attended the
first 2 sessions was on hand early
today. The number of women in
the audience is considerably less
Jean Loupy, proprietor of the
Pup restaurant prior to the fire
was the first witness. He is said tc
have arranged the details of extor
ton.
Loupy told the story of his ar
rangement with Ruef for protection
of restaurant men. He said he went
to Ruef and asked him why the Ii
censes were held up. He also ask
ed Ruef to take the case.
Ruef said if he was wanted In
the case as an attorney he would
take it for $1,000 year on a 2
years contract, payable in advance
in currency.
Loupy told him he would see
other restaurant men and see what
they were willing to do. He call
ed on several. They thought the
price was too high. He then saw
smaller restaurant men, but they
would not come in. Finally Rue1
agreed for $4,000 a year to handle
the case for big restaurants.
This money was collected and
paid to Ruef. On cross examina
ton it developed that Schmitz fire.
quently dined at the Pup with Ruel
and alone. Loupy said he didn
go to Ruef because he feared him
or had been threatened, but be
cause he was political boss and
thought he was head of the admin
istration. He admitted Ruef didn't
want to take the case at first, but
he finally induced him to do so on
the grounds of personal friendship
The defense forced Loupy to admit
he went to Ruef, not Ruef to him.
