SEATTLE, WASH, May 24.-Alex-

He believes he mas broken all records

Mcpherson, with an eight ounce ak
bit succeeded in telling a tree with
an average girth Of sixty-three inches
in one minute and thirty seconds. The
tire was a green fir and he was handi-
capped by a pocket of pitch that broke
out on the north side of the tree. He
did not chip out the cut, but chopped
downward, leaving ragged, long
stump. In saving with single hand
he felled a fir tree fifty-three inches
i'm circumference In one minute and
eleven seconds.
with a double cross-cut saw he Sc
yered a tree trunk, seventy-two inches
eirth. I'm two minutes even. The axes
used by the -record-breaker were
ground so finely that the edge would
almost shave a mans face. The pitch
found in the fir wood may have held
down the Scots speed several sec

to know why the term "knocker'' has

SO clear that it needs no explanation

Oregonian is surprised to hear such
stuff from Judge Lowell. Why should
sound business Judgment require
this city to continue the use of a high
school building that is so inadequate
that the assembly room cannot hold
the students even when they sit two
in a single desk. Why should the
young people of this city have to at
tend school in a building that cannot
be properly heated, in which the
walls are cracking and in which the
plaster drops down from the ceiling
endangering the very lives of those
beneath?
Why cannot Pendleton afford to
erect proper buildings for school pur-
.5ses at this time? The prospects for
.Pendleton are brighter than they have
been for years. Pendleton is one OF
the very wealthiest towns in the
northwest, as is shown by the bank

that in most cases the minority is
right and the majority wrong.
The writer voted against the S1OO,-

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES


As spring approaches there seems to
be a shortage of help in warehouses at
several of the packing points. At least
100 hands could find employment in Ed
gerton at the present time.
The tobacco industry does not seem
to get peek in under the proposed
Canadian reciprocity agreement. III
view of the fact that Canadian duties
on tobacco are almost prohibitive, why
should an effort not be made to lower
the tariff wall so as to permit the entry
of American tobacco on more liberal
terms? IF the trade of the Dominion
is a good thing, why not let the tobacco
industry share in it? And Canada
wants Wisconsin tobacco.

vested the latter part of September.

NEW OAsAAs 4sAe@l Ssi %cf 49,
The leaf market in general continues
lethargic Business transactions confine
themselves to necessities and in these
only to limited quantities. For leaf
stocks of any type are not abundant
This lack of available supply seems to
be responsible for the prevailing leth-
argy rather than the slackness of our
cigar industry. For the cigar output
during the month of February through
out the country, as published in anoth-
er place, shows an increase of forty
millions, a sufficient increase to reflect
under normal circumstances favorably
on the activities of the leaf market.
That the trade is only waiting for an
opportunity to flare up, is proven by
the fact that the Sumatra importing
houses were thronged already yester-
day morning, as it had been widely an
nounced that the samples of the pur-
chases of the first inscription would
then be on exhibition. And the sam
pies which had arrived completely bore
out and confirmed the description of
the crop outlined in the special cables
from Amsterdam. If the Sumatra of
fered at the further inscriptions this
year should be of the same texture,
color and yield, it will undoubtedly
prove one of the best and most salts
factory crops ever raised on the Island
of Sumatra. The evenness of color is
simply ravishing, light, but yet of the
perfect cast of the genuinely brownish
tobacco tincture. The leaf itself ap-
pears to be perfectly sound, with no
breaks and no holes, glossy and silky,
of firm stretch and elasticity, nothing
papery about it. This may be taken as
survey of the samples of the lots that
came in from the first inscription. The
goods represented by these samples are,
therefore, not likely to remain any
length of time in the hands OF the i'm
porters. Of course, it remains to be
seen whether the latter offerings will
come up to the same standard. If they
do, the Sumatra market promises to be
very active one, even if prices should
rule high. Journal

A slight improvement is noted in the
domestic cigar leaf market this week,
but putting the best possible face upon
the matter, business cannot be called
satisfactory. One good-sized sale of
Connecticut is reported, and there has
been a routine business done by all the
houses, but the total volume is very
small. There has been buying move
ment in 1910 Ohio, quantity of Geb-
hardt and Zimmer Spanish having been
taken from first hands.
Sumatra - Within a few days the
first samples of the new crop will be
displayed, and the trade will be in a
position to pass upon their prospects as
regards wrapper supply for another
year. At the second inscription nearly
5000 bales were taken by American
houses, the largest bnyers being manu-
facturers. Sumatra importers report
sales in the old goods, following the re-
ports about the high price of the new
crop. Cable advices are to the effect
that the second inscription. brought
higher prices than the first, and prices
paid at the first were declared high.
As much as 500 Dutch cents was paid
for one lot at the second sale. First
lengths are said not to be plentiful, but
as regards the quality of the tobacco,
its yield, ETC., a very favorable account
has been given by buyers in cabling to
their offices here. Leaf.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERTON, WIS.,, March 81, 1911.
Business in the local tobacco markets
is now almost exclusively confined to
the receiving and packing of last years
crop, for the buying is practically at an
end. The deliveries at receiving points
are also dropping off, as the great bulk
of the crop has now been marketed.
Since the farms have commenced to
call back the male help quite shortage
of help has developed in the packing
points and nearly all the warehouses
are running short handed, which prom
ises to extend the packing season some
what beyond expectations.
The market for old leaf reflects the
conditions reported in the larger CEN
ters of trade, which is far from salts
factory. Business is almost exclusively
confined to small orders to meet urgent
demands of manufacturers.
Very little has been done as yet by
growers towards preparing the seed
beds for another crop though early
spring indications are present.
The shipments out of storage reach
$50 cases from this station to all points
for the week. Since last report II car
loads have been received from outside
points for handling.

stance doesn't help the city packers,
who have to compete with large farm
ers who have bought up their neigh
bors' goods to pack and with manufac-
turers who do their own packing, also.
The buying of what is left of the 1910
crop is going on spasmodically because
what remains in the growers hands is
so small as to quantity that it does not
pay the packers to hunt around after
it. Most Of it will now be sold through
the growers bringing in samples to the
warehouse.
The growers are already discussing
the question of acreage, and so many
are reported as intending to increase
theirs that it is a safe proposition to
make that the 1911 acreage will con-
siderably exceed that of 1910.

LANCASTER, PA, March %, 1911.
Conditions in the leaf trade and cigar
industry are unsatisfactory. Nobody
appears to understand why such brisk
demand as existed for several weeks
for 1909 goods should cease so sudden
", unless it is due to the belief of the
trade that the cigar trade had entered
upon an uncertain period of dullness.
During the past week no large sales
We're reported, and the total number of
cases sold IN small lots was small.
Sales could have been made had the
packers consented to take the prices
offered, those which prevailed earlier in
the season, but they prefer to keep their
packings rather than sell at an actual
loss.
There has been much criticism of the
country packers for the supposedly
reckless prices they paid fer this to-
bacco. The fact that thei yarehouse
expens are small than ose of the
