IOWA RESIDENTS TO
FEAST
IOWA PEOPLE OF WE
NATCHEE WILL ATTEND BIG
BANQUET OF HAWKEYE CLUB
AT SPOKANE.

Spokane, April 20.-Preparations
are already under way for the second
annual dinner by the Hawkeye club
of Spokane, composed of 600 former
residents of Iowa, in the Hall of the
Doges, the evening of May 81, when
among the guests of honor will be
prominent Iowans visiting in the
northwest. The dinner will be pre-
coded by a reception, the committee
in charge being headed by w. N.
Day, with S. B. Cook as chairman
of the committee on arrangements.
E. E. Springer is chairman of COM
mittee which will endeavor to inter-
est former Iowans in various parts
of the Inland Empire in the reunion.
The officers of the club are: Presi-
dent, F. A. McMaster; vice president
treasurer, Mrs. R. c. Halliday; ser
rotary, James Powlesson. The last
named said in announcing the din
ner:
"The first annual reunion of the
Iowa club last year was the means
of bringing together many former
acquaintances, who were ignorant of
each others whereabouts until they
met at the banquet in Masonic tenn
/ pie. We had the best kind of an
old-fashioned good time and the at
tendance far exceeded our expecta-
tions; but believe that this years
gathering will be even larger, as we
expect to have with us former Iowans
from Wallace, Lewiston, Moscow and
Occur d'Alene and other parts of
northern Idaho; Yakima, Wenatchee,
Walla Walla, Ellensburg, Colville,
Pullman, Ritzville and half dozen
other towns in eastern Washington,
also a number from Seattle, Portland
and Tacoma, Baker City and Salem,
Ore, Nelson, B. c., Calgary and Leth-
bridge, Alta, and from other parts
of the northwest We also look for
visitors from Missoula, Helena, Bill
ings, Kalispell and four or five other
cities in Montana"

Since reading the account of the gov
ernment getting out new variety of
tobacco through hybridizing with the
use of our old Havana seed and Suma-
ira plants, and producing such good re-
suits, I wonder why some of our ad-
vanced tobacco growers did not try to
initiate them and see if they could not
in some way equal their production, or
even excel them.

LANCASTER, Pa, Feb. 9, 1909.
At the rate at which all that remain
ed of the new tobacco crop of our
county has been gathered in by the
buyers during the past few weeks, not
much more can remain in the growers
hands. When active buying ceased it
was estimated that at least 10 per cent
remained unsold, and this has been
steadily bought up. What remains un-
sold is scattered here and there all over
the county. The largest single lot re-
ported sold recently was 35 acres be
longing to A. E. Lane of the vicinity
of Lexington, and the price was 10a
and 5 cents. David Owens was in Fair
field recently buying tobacco for Sheer
ihgton & Co., Lancaster. He bought
John A. Browns tobacco for II, and
2 cents, and J. Allen Boyd's for IL and
cents.
Very little was doing last week in
old tobacco, though one firm, Seisel &
Tole, sold 400 cases of 1907 goods at a
fair price. New Era.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13, 1909.
Activity in the leaf market is falling
behind the expectations that were an
ticipated for the current year. But
the year is young yet and though dis
appointments are not pleasant to bear,
the leaf market may feel reasonably
sure that both the volume of its busi-
ness and its profits will, when the year
is over, stand favorable comparisons
with any number of good years. The
recovery in every line of trades is pro-
ceeding at slow pace and the recur-
renee of steady progress should not
be banked upon before next fall. Mar
ket conditions are nevertheless reassur-
ing even for the present time. There
was sold this week to only two manu-
featuring concerns l 200 cases of 1907
Wisconsin, which proves that factories
are starting in to provision themselves
for better times. For filler grades the
demand is steady and increasing. AL
though transactions are still limited
as to quantities, manufacturers are re-
alizing that values of their raw mater
ial are not going to drop and that, if
anything, an advance will meet them
with an advanced demand. The Ha-

any other line and old tobaccos have
quite call, too. In Sumatra trading
was somewhat slack during the week.
This seems to be generally the case in
the weeks preceding the inscriptions of
a new crop. But as soon as reports of
higher prices being paid for the new
crop are coming in, then the demand
for the old stock increases with renew
ed vigor. AS prices for the new crop
are likely to go higher this year, the
holders of the old stock are certain to
reap larger margin of profit on it by
| any present slackness.
In view of the fact that the index
finger of the market continues to ex-
hibit a tendency to point upward, cigar
manufacturers viewed with complac-
ency the curtailment of the current
! week so far as commercial purposes are
concerned. Journal.

EDGERToN, WIS, Feb. 10, 1909.
The work of gathering in the balance
of last seasons tobacco crop goes pref
ty steadily on. A strong force of buy
ers is still maintained in the field and
the aggregate sales will foot very near
ly up to those of recent weeks. 1t is
generally conceded that fully Is per
cent of the crop has been lifted and
where growers are willing to accept
the going figures the balance seems
likely to be taken over within reason
able time. Some of the better crops
are bringing very nearly the figures
paid for early selections and yet the
bulk of the sales continue around seven
cents. The following transactions are
reported:

MIAMIsBURG, O., Feb. 10, 1909.
A delivery of so cases of 1907 leaf
from east of town was an unexpected
sight on our streets Monday. There
has been very little tobacco delivered
in Miamisburg for months. The crop
was purchased by the Toedtmann Cigar
Co. at 111c.
The same firm will receive 750 cases
of 1908 this week, purchased at Green
vile and northern portions of the to-
bacco growing districts. The price is
quoted at 10 and 10ac.
The buyers of trash and smokers are
quite busy, and several well-knoWn
dealers in smokers are getting good
stock on hand.
About 18O cases of 1907 seedleaf were
delivered in Miamisburg last Saturday
and Monday; 12ac was the top price,
ranging from lie to 123c. News.

That the great bulk of the tobacco
growers of this state do not need the
Society of Equity to tell them when or
how to market their crops is evidenced
by the fact that fully rs per cent of
seasons crop has already been sold and
half or more of the balance are holding
out for higher figures than have been
offered and scarcely in any event would
patronize the pools, so the Equity
movement has not cut such tremen-
dous figure as the promoters would
have you believe. The growers who
accepted the going figures are now
counting their money! They know just
what the crop has brought them, are
paying their debts and have the bal
ance to use as their needs require with
find out whether holding a crop over
the sweat means loss or profit.
And further, point that appeals di-
rectly to this subject is the reports that
come in from various sections of the
hurley tobacco belt of Kentucky which
indicate that the chances for success
full pool being formed this year are very
small. What effort has been made SO
far to enthuse the growers over another
pooling project has not been very sue
cessful. The growers simply refuse to
enthuse. They are tired, apparently,
of placing their crops in a big pool
where they are bound to be tied up for
an indefinite period, and they are them
selves forced to sit idly by and witness
those growers who remained outside
the pool sell their crops at the high
prices which the pooling movement i'm
PEELED The planters who were in the
last pool realize that they bore all the
hardsnips of the fight while their inde-
pendent neighbors secured the benefit.

The sudden activity that began soon
after the holidays seems to have sub
sided, and not since the dog days of
August has there been time when the
local market was less in evidence than
for the past few days. The manufac-
turers are generally complaining, and
the best commentry on trade conditions
is the fact that the number of cigar
makers reported to be looking for work
is very large. Leaf.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

The Viroqua Republican has blossom
ed out into a strong advocate of the
Equity movement of late and its ardor
for the cause of the farmer prompts it
to look with suspicion on the least crit
icism of that society or its methods.
This is probably the reason why it
gives voice to the following:
Eve cannot help but entertain an
opinion that the Wisconsin Tobacco Re
porter is cherishing ranking spirit of
unfriendliness for the Equity society.
1t is not within our power to produce
any positive evidence that Brother
Coon is Intentionally exercising an un-
just discrimination against the Society,
yet there is twang about his written
words and an evidence conveyed in his
selection of topics that convinces us
that he would rather see the Equity
fail than to succeed. He has the fac
ulty for producing logical argument
that two and three make four just as
well as do two and two, it that four ar
CUES against the Equity movement. !" !.
Let us say once again that our Viro-
qua friends opinion is wrong. The
writer has so often defined his position
that it hardly seems necessary to re-
peat it, We need only to say that we
have no criticism to make of the So
ciety of Equity, but rather OF the un-
fair methods that have been employed
by the managers of the tobacco depart
ment in securing pooled tobacco. Their
agitators have promised growers who
patronize these pools profits they could
not make good and thereby induced
growers to hold their crops a year or
more when they could least afford to do
so. There are plenty of well-to-do to-
bacco growers who are abundantly able
to speculate on the price of their crops,
and if they choose to place them In the
Equity pool, all well and good, and be-
ing their own agent no one is effected
but themselves But it should be re-
membered that about Is per cent OF
the tobacco grown in this state is raised
by troopers or sharemen who must de-
pend upon the sale of their crop within
a reasonable time to meet the expenses
of living. These are the men who can
not afford to go to a bank and hire
money 50 they may send their tobacco to
a pool to be handled and sold for them.
We hold that the agitator who induces
this class of growers to pool their crops
and assume the chances of damage in
the cure are doing them a great injus-
tice
