 UNEMPLOYED EMPIRE

VANCOUVER, B. c. Nearly thirty per cent of Canada is still unexplored, according to the beliefs of officials here Most of the un- known country lies to the north in the country drained by the great Mackenzie river which flows into the Arctic Ocean.
 Even the Indians, it is believed, have not yet penetrated the wild mountains bordering the Mackenzie basin. If the reports of the natives are to be believed the Mackenzie basin contains one of the largest of possible oil bearing country on the face of the globe.
 Natives say that up back of the basin of the Yukon river there are lakes 100 miles and over in length which no white men have yet seen.

WIDOW THANKS :. JEAN RUSSELL
 FOR AID SENT

The little folk of Fairbanks or ganized a knitting club some time ago of which Jean Russell, prior to leaving for Nenana, was secretary. They worked hard and got together sufficient money for the support for one year of French child, and Sec retary Jean Russell promptly for warded the money for this laudable purpose to the proper authorities.
 On the last mail Jean received the following letter from grate- ful mother, and now Jeans friends have started a movement for the purpose of raising more money to be sent to the mother of the pro- tegee of the Junior Knitting club, and supplement the good work done by Jean and her little associates.
 The letter is addressed to gentle man, because Jean in French is a masculine name. The letter follows

NEW YORK, Sept. IA, 1918.

NEW YORK, Sept. Ia, 1913.
In the week ending with today nearly
$4,000 bales of 1917 Sumatra tobacco
have been distributed to the cigar man.
ufacturing and tobacco jobbing inter-
ests of the country. There seems to
be general agreement that. while not
perfect, the distribution was about as
fair and equitable as it could possibly
have been made. It is generally agreed
that the tobacco itself does not, as
whole, measure up in desirability to
last years offerings, but this feeling is
offset by the knowledge that the tobac-
co represents the first choice Of the
1917 Sumatra crop, and as all Jared
alike no one has any advantage over
the other. Furthermore, the average
price was considerably lower than last
years was, and the cigar manufacturer
using this tobacco will have cheaper
wrapping cost than he has had the past
year.
So far as domestic types of tobacco
are concerned, the manufacturers do
not seem as eager to buy as they were
a wear ago or few months ago. The
average manufacturer is face to face
with diminution of production, caused
principally by lack of labor, and being
unable to see into the future definitely,
seems disposed to do but little buying.
The knowledge that an enormous crop
is being harvested causes the manufac-
turers to believe that, unless all signs
fail, there will be considerably lower
prices in the country by the first of the
year. 1t is true that the farmers as a
general thing have rosy expectations
of disposing of their crops at high
prices, but the manufacturers do not
believe these expectations are justified
by the conditions. So they are buying
for their immediate needs only. So far
as the new crops are concerned, it may
be said that they have practically been
harvested. If frost came now, it could
not do a great deal of damage. One
good effect of the labor shortage in the

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis. Sept. 20, 1918.

EDGERTON, WIS.,, Sept. 20, 1918.
Were it not for unfavorable weather
conditions the past two weeks and the
delays occasioned by the erection of
additional shed room and the scarcity
of lath, the tobacco cropwould have
been safely housed by this date. AS
matters stand, there will be quite a
portion of the crop outstanding at the
close of the present week despite the
scare of low temperatures, of an i'm
pending frost or anxiety of growers to
complete this work. The tobacco har-
vest cannot go forward in rainy wealth
er and sunshine is absolutely needed to
wilt the plants. If frost should come,
it cannot overtake more than 10 per
cent of the crop at best.
The buying movement seems to have
suffered an almost complete slump
Nearly all the larger operators have
withdrawn their men from the field and
even the smaller concerns have appar-
emily lost interest for the present, so
that only scattering transactions have
come to notice and these mostly on a
stemming basis. No one is able to ac-
count for SO sudden an attack of cold
feet, for none of the packers have as
yet booked their allowance.
The early harvested portion is curing
satisfactorily, but whether the late cut
or the fields yet to be shielded will do
as well will be question of weather
conditions from this on.
The shipments out of storage reach
200 cases and cars of bundles from
this market to all points since last re-
port.

VIRoQUA, WIS, Sept. II, 1918.
Three wonderful weeks for tobacco
harvest were the past and they were
made great use of. The weather has
been ideal and few Interruptions were
encountered The crop had had de-
velOpment never experienced in twenty
years. There are two serious draw
backs. First, lack or shed room, so
heavy and large is the yield, and addi-
tions and new houses are necessity.
Second, there has been shortage of
hanging lath and they could not be Sc
cured at manufacturing points. Deal
ers in all the surrounding towns had
their usual stocks on hand but they
we're early exhausted. During the
past two weeks lath were shipped in
and brought on trucks from other
places, but the shortage continues.
Monday car load came by express
from Rhinelander for the Nuzum Lum-
ber Co., but they were quickly taken.
It will require several car loads to meet
the demand This waiting has handi-
capped the harvest. With sufficient
lath and good weather conditions this
week will see heavy end of the to-
bacco under cover. Probably 10 to Is
per cent of the late weed will go over
to fair week.
Buying is not pushed as at the open
ing of the season, but it is fair esti-
mate to make that 50 per cent of the
acreage has been contracted. A num-
ber of buyers have abandoned the field
within the past fortnight and what rid
ing is being done is generally by local
men. Censor.
