The market has settled down to a
routine business. The expected on
slaught on the new binder and filler
crops has not yet materialized. Per-
haps because factories are just now too
busy with rushing out their orders and
with preparations to meet what prom
ises to be phenomenal holiday trade,
to think of and provide themselves ade-
quately with their raw material. In the
stress of rushing activity factories
are apt to work up all the odds and
ends before they give attention to a
fresh supply of material. What the
market, therefore, misses today will be
made up in larger volume later on. The
routine business done at present ex-
tends to Sumatra, Florida and Havana.
AS the Sumatra is being worked chiefly
from hand to mouth, the demand for it
in smaller quantities is constant. Flor
ida is being pushed with great vigor
and at such reduced prices as to make
the offer almost irresistible to the man
ufacturer The Florida packers. seem
to have learned a lesson from sad ex-
perience. After their top-notch boom
in 1906 the demand for their product
dropped almost to zero. With two
crops on their hands they wisely re.
solved to so lower the price as to make
| it irristably attractive for investment
Some have gone even further and dis
carded both raising and packing this
year. By. these steps wholesale de
mand for the Florida is likely to rise
again and become permanent. In the
Havana market lively transactions seen
to be the order of the day. The reports
from Cuba are stimulating to making
Havana investments in the local mar
| ket. There is an ample stock here anc
prices still reasonable. journal.

ers while riding the country offered 10
cents for nice tobacco, without making
a deal. The growers think they will
get better prices than that, on account
of the crop being short. The popular
estimate is a 60 per cent crop, although
we have heard several good judges talk
of three-quarter crop. The packers
do not expect buying to begin before
the stripping is over, but they are only
guessing. If one begins buying it will
start others and then the usual rush to
gather up the crop will be made.
The trading in old goods, lately, has
been confined to the cigar manufactur-
ers, whose business has been improv-
ing, even if slowly. The reports of the
office of the Ninth Internal Revenue
District for September showed gain
in receipts over August, which repre-
sented over four million cigars.
Trading in 1908 tobacco has been flat,
too, because the prices going upwards
went too high for packers. The hold
ers of these goods, however, believe
they will get 20 cents pound before
October ends. New Era.

The buying movement has been very
nearly suspended since the cold wave
swept down upon US, following the
storm of Saturday. Up to that time a
moderate amount of buying was being
done at former quotations. Some late
sales are:
Herman Hanson, la at 103&2c.
Hans Bjerke, 14a at 10&3c.
Mrs. Waterman, 14a at 10&3c.

Killing frosts have come when the
temperature dropped to 2S Thursday
morning and it is feared some damage
has been done to the uncured tobacco
in the sheds, though to what extent
cannot be told for some days yet.
There is an increasing demand for
some grades of old leaf, though no
large transactions have come to notice.

The weather has been most favorable
for the curing of the tobacco, few
green stems can be seen yet, and ev-
erything points to an early stripping.
The leaves are of good size, most of it
will size from 20 to % inches. Very
little of the frozen tobacco was har-
vested most of it was plowed under.
No buyers have yet appeared. In old
goods (1908) there was sold about 13O

from 10 to lie, and there still remain
about 200 cases in the farmers hands.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

As general rule tobacco that is not
cured by the middle of October in this
state has to run long chance of max
ing fat stems, as hard freezes are due
in this climate any time after that date.
How much of the new crop is beyond
any danger of this kind is quite difficult
to estimate at the present writing.
Buyers who have been riding the grow
ing districts of late report that the
crop is not curing as rapidly as it seem
ingly ought during the recent warm
w rather and the reason advanced was
eitl the lack of sufficient moisture to
brn lg it down rapidly or the tobacco
wa harvested in such a green and i'm
ma cure state that curing invariably
ca ne slow. The trouble, if any comes,
rust be assigned to the latter cause
mostly for there is reason to believe
that more unripe tobacco has gone into
the sheds this season following the
frost scare in early September than for
many years past. The cold wave that
swept down upon us this week is liable
to put frost into many of the loosely
constructed sheds, and at date too
earlier than the first hard freeze u.s.
ually reaches us.

Important antitrust and interstate
commerce litigation will be taken up by
the Supreme Court of the United States
at the outset of the October term,
which will begin October II. The Sher-
man law and the interstate commerce
laws both will have their scope tested,
in the cases which will be brought be-
fore the court with the opening of the
term. The case of the United States
VS.. the American Tobacco Company,
known as the Tobacco Trust, will be
argued at the opening of the term. 1t
is set down for October IL, but as there
are a number of cases ahead of it will
probably not be reached until about
October 90 This is the most important
antitrust litigation which will be sub
mitted to the court the coming term.
1t not only involves the question of
whether the American Tobacco and re-
lated concerns are combinations in re-
straint of trade under the Sherman
law, and whether they should be shut
out Of interstate commerce, but wheth-
er the great combination built around
the American Tobacco Company shall
be broken, and whether the broad in
terpretation put on the Sherman Act
by the court below shall be sustained.

According to dispatches from Cuba,
the damages Of the cyclone of Septem-
Der II, which passed through the whole
breadth and length Of the Vuelta Alb
aio, have been far more serious than
could be gathered from the meagre re-
ports which came to hand week ago.
The whole country has been aroused,
as the heart of the Vuelta Abajo dis
trict has been entirely ruined. Fortu-
nately the loss in human life has not
been of any great Importance, but the
losses in horses, mules, oxen, pigs,
poultry, houses, tobacco barns (fully 80
| to 95 per cent?, destruction of all vege-
tation, have been tremendous and may
reach So, 900, 900, easily. The material
damage can be repaired in the course
of time, while the threatened calamity
of starvation has been averted through

sufferers, and an equal amount IN food

had happened two or three months ago,
while the packings were IN progress,
and before the tobacco had been ship
ped to Havana, the property loss, as

Company a few days ago declared the
usual quarterly dividend OF | per cent

dend of / per cent, payable November

According to President Wertheim this
action IN declaring an extra ulVluSllu

mean that the stock is established per-
manently on per cent basis, as that
will depend upon the earnings OF the

outlook at the time.

FATHERS DES-
PERATE DEED
Blows Family to Pieces
With Dynamite.

Goaded to desperate frenzy by
continual domestic chickering's, it
is asserted, Bert Garrett, a real
estate agent of Marquam, Is miles
south of Oregon City, in Clacka-
mas county, Saturday morning at
7 O'Clock dynamited his home after
baving lured his wife and two
daughters into the kitchen, under
meath the floor of which the blast
was set off.
The dead:
Bert Garrett, who was blown ir-
to atoms, portions of his body be-
ing found in a cherry tree 80 feet
from the house.
Mrs, Bert Garrett, who died an
hour after the explosion occurred,
her lower limbs being blown off.
|, Beaulah, the 5 year-old daugh-
ter, portions of whose body were
found about the yard.
Lavilla, the l0-year.old daugh-
ter, horribly mangled, died soon
after the explosion.
Gladys, the 15-year.old daugh-
ter, escaped unhurt by remaining
in bed after her father had vainly
sought to prevail upon her to come
downstairs and join the family at
break fast.
Garrett evidently had intended
to kill himself and family for
three weeks at least. StrychniDe
and a shotgun were taken from
him. Evidently the dynamite had
been placed under the kitchen for
several days prior to the explosion.
Bert Garrett was formerly a res
ident of Morrow county, at one
time driving stage between Hepp-
ner and Hardman.
He also took up a homestead
near Slocum's mill and sold his
right.
In 1901 Garrett married Mrs.
Joyce B. Brown, a widow with two
chi dren at Hardman.
Mrs. Brown is a sister of Nick
Leathers who resides at Hardman.
Monday morning at Scott's
Mills, near Marqusm, the bodies
of Mrs. Garrett and her daughters
were buried. It had been intend
ed to take the bodies to Hardmsn,
for interment, but they had not
been embalmed, and interment at
Scott's Mills was decided upon.
Mrs. Garrett had asked that she
be buried by the side of her fret
husband, Brown.

DEATH OF
O. F. THOMSON
Well Known Pioneer of
Butter Greek.

O. F. Thomson, one of the old
est and most highly respected
pioneers Of Eastern Oregon, died
in Pendleton, Friday forenoon.
Death came as then esult of a lin
gering illess which lad made him
an invalid for the past year. The
exact nature of his trouble baffled
the physicians who attended him.
About year ago the aged pion-
eer was seized with violent attack
of hiccoughs, and after that time
his condition gradually grew more
serious until hope of his recovery
WAS despalred of.
Oscar f. Thomson was born in
Howard county, Missouri, on No
vember 25, 1890 Accordingly he
was in his 10Th year when he died.
In 1850 he removed to California,
and in 1864 he came to Oregon.

There are people in this town
who foolishly send to Chicago and

buy, without seeing them, at prices
fully as high, when freight is con-

better for them to patronize their
home stores. They would then
know exactly what they were get

chants guarantee back of the
goods and in case of dissatisfac-
tion the trouble could be readily
adjusted. No such consideration
is ever received from mail order
