from the fact that in 1897 the COM
bination had ten plants, each pro-
ducing over $4,000 pounds Of tobacco
or SNUFF per year, while there were
243 independent plants of the same
type. In 1906, ON the other hand,
the combination had As plants Of this
class and independent manufacturers
40. Especially conspicuous has been
the absorption OF large plants. In
1897 the combination had 8 plants
each producing over 100000 pounds
of these products per year, while Its
competitors had 46 such plants. In
1906 the combination had 81 plants

Germs only H."
One of the favorite plans OF the
Trust, Mr, Smith says, was TO buy up
an independent plant that had made
its reputation on it's anIti-trust rec
ord, It's fair dealing with union labor,
or its ime-honored squareness to It's
customers, and to operate 1t still as

concern. Dozens of the plants It
purchased outright or controlled were
operated in this manner, II Is charged.
The only branch of the tobacco trade
that it has not been able TO DOM
mate, says the report is the cigar
business and 1t failed in that ann
bition only because the great bulk OF
cigars are made by hand, and there
fore the small factory Is practically
thousands OF hands whose yearly out
put is high in the millions. The
Trust IS now spending large sums Of
money experimenting with cighr-mak-
ing machines and If they are sue
cessful in developing them to the no
quired state of efficiency and can
control the patents, they may be able
to command the cigar business in
the same manner that they dominate
every other branch of the tobacco
trade, MIR. Smith says.
"The Combination" continues the
report, "has superior advantage over
competitors, from the great size of It's
plants and from the control of more
efficient machinery" but nevertheless
a great many independent concerns
have been able to keep their heads
above water and continue aotive COM
petition. However, he adds, 'many
weaker concerns have been virtually
driven out of business or forced to
sell out to the Combination either by
reason of the direct competition Of
the latter or as an indirect result Of
the vigorous competition between the
Combination and larger independent
concerns."
Among the concerns alleged to be
owned or controlled by the trust are
the following: s. Anargyros and
Monopol, cigarette firms; r.. j. Rey-

TALKING TIME is PAST.

Three months of effort to secure
enough lands to justify spending some
money to advertise them, has brought
practically no results to the CONNER
city Club, and this in the face of the
truth that there are thousands of acres
of cut-over lands becoming less valu-
able every day because of the fact
that they are growing up with scrub
oak and pine. The proposition of the
club is to list land in alternate tracts,
to be sold to actual settlers, at the low
est possible price and we can con
ceive of no more practical plan than
this. The owner of the lands is sure
of reaping good profit on the lands
he keeps, while receiving reasonable
price for those he sells. In three
months holders of the lands seem to
have set higher values and attached
SO much more Importance to lands
once considered almost worthless
that there seems practically no way
of starting an immigration movement
to South Mississippi, despite the fact
that it is conceded by every Thought
full man that unless our agricultural
resources are developed, there must
be vast shrinkage in all kinds OF
values. The New Orleans and North
eastern Railway, runs for $50 miles
north of Lake Ponchatrain, through
country susceptible of great agricul'
tural development, but it would be
hard to count thousand acres of
corn in that distance. This means
that many miles of that road wou..e
not be self-sustaining unless it were
for the timber along the road and the

FISHING SNACK
FIRES IN A
French ship

SYDNEY, N. S., June 19.-Details
of the sensational encounter between
the American fishing schooner Sena-
tor Gardner and a big French steam
trawler are brought here by vessels
arriving today from Quero bank.
The Gardner, Capt. Vincent Neise,
of Gloucester, Mass. had been waiting
two days on the Newfoundland banks
for a chance to set her lines, then
found clear space. No sooner were
the Gardeners dories out and her men
fishing with hand lines. than a large
French trawler bore down on them
so close that the nets the trawler was
dragging, carried away part Of the
Gardeners lines and gear.
Capt Nelse's angry protests did not
make the Frenchman sheer off. So
Nelse, Infatuated at the loss of gear
and time, quickly loaded a rifle, using
lead slugs made out of mackerel sink
erS. AS the Frenchman was drawing
in his travis Capt Nelse fired point
blank at the steamer. The shot
struck the side of the steam trawler's
rail and splinters flew, but no Other
damage appears to have been done
The Frenchman quickly raised the
| drags and steamed away.
Many fear violent encounters dur
| ing the summer as a result of tn
encroachments of the steam trawler'
used by fishing schconers. Hand line
| fishing, which has been so successful
| lately. is threatened with an interior
| ence which may mean incalculablt
losses to the American Schooner fish
ing fleet.
