TOBACCO CULTURE
PROVES A SUCCESS

Growing tobacco in Southern Califor-
MIA has been successful in the hands OF
e. S. Matteson, who has cultivated the
weed extensively in Los Angeles
county.
1t is going to be, he says, a great in
dustry for Southern California be-
cause there are thousands of acres
that will grow tobacco that will not
produce oranges nor lemons nor wall
nuts. Mr.. Matteson says he can grow
and cure fine imported Havana leaf
here for filters and for wrappers, also
fine quality of thinner Spanish, Geb-
hardts and little Dutch for filler pur-
poses, also fine Florida Sumatra wrap
pers and Pennsylvania tobaccos. The
cigar leaf is as staple as wheat in the
market, and it can be sold all over the
United States, Canada and Europe.
The Connecticut Havana seed will
produce about 1000 pounds to the acre
which will average the grower from 10
cents to 20 cents a pound. Connecti-
cut broad leaf Cor seed leaf as it is
called will produce about 2400 pounds
to the acre, which will pay the grower
in the neighborhood of 10 to 80 cents
a pound. The imported Havana will
produce about 1000 to 1900 pounds an
acre. OF this crop there can be two
crops grown here in one season, which
will net the grower from 20 cents to
81 a pound, according to grades. The
thinner Spanish will produce from 1900
to 1900 pounds to the acre. Two crops
of this can be grown here in one sea-
son, and this can be grown even on
adobe soil, which will net the grower
from to 12 cents a pound; also of
the Dutch, of Gebhardts and Pennsyl-
vanias, only one crop can be pro-
duced.
Mr.. Matteson offers to furnish all
kinds of seed free of charge and give
printed instructions from time to time
to those who desire to grow tobacco.
He also will give his personal atten-
ton to making seed beds, which ought
to be made in December and January,
and he will also visit the crop during
the growing season, keeping watch on
each and every crop and giving it his
personal attention to the curing, pack
ing and marketing.
He has several thousand pounds of
tobacco, grown and cured in the past
season and will exhibit samples at
Hermosa, Anaheim, Orange and Santa
Ana.

WHAT HAS BECOME
OF THAT RIMe7

Judge Arntson will attempt to
unravel the tangle with which
the $35 diamond fling belonging
to Miss Rose Herbert, is at pres
emit woven at the afternoon ses-
sion of police court tomorrow.
Yesterday afternoon a warrant
was sworn out by Miss Lorraine
Inwright against Ray Pallard, a

ing him with theft of the ring.
About week ago, Miss In
wright was arrested for the very

come up for trial tomorrow after
noon. Miss Inwright borrowed
the ring from Miss Herbert, and
then loaned 1t to Pallard, but
where the ring is now Is a mys-
terry. Some unkind people have
even suggested that it may be at
"Uncle's," not specifying whose
uncle"

CHAMBER VOTES
FOR ANNEXATION

The Tacoma chamber of COM
merce is for annexation and the
Greater Tacoma.
After exhaustive investigation
of all the arguments for and
against adding the new territory,
the trustees last night by vote of
8 to I decided that the lines
should be extended as proposed
and the $10,000,0O0 of taxable
property with 10000 people add
cd to the city.
This report will be presented to
the membership of the chamber
at large a week from Tuesday. at
which time the entire chamber
will go on record for the annex
alton movement.
Practically everybody is now in
line for annexation, and there is
no doubt of the ultimate success
of the project.
Those who have studied the
situation, however, are anxious
that the election be held in the
suburbs at the earliest possible
date, so the entire annexation
can be closed up in the next six
weeks.
The petition to the county
commissioners should be present
ed this week, and the election
placed not later than the first
week In December. The results
should be certified to the city
council by December s, and the
ordinance can be ready to pass on
that night. This would give the
city three weeks in which to con-
solidate with the incorporated
cities and to revise the ward and
precinct lines and get out the new
poll books for the registration OF
voters, which must begin Janu-
airy 1.
