Tobacco Consumed in the United
States.

Tobacco Consumed in the United
States.
Figures showing the consumption
of tobacco in the United States over
long period have recently been com
piled by the Bureau of Crop ESQ
mates, United States Depa tment of
Agriculture.
Tobacco consumption in 1890, the
Oldest year for which it can be esti-
mated appears tc have been nearly
29,000,000 pounds in this country
For 1889 to 1910 the yearly consump-
ton is reckoned to have been over
60,OO0,000 pounds, and for five years
of the decade 1S45-1S54 the average
stood at over 100000 pounds. In
the entire decade 1S65-1S74 the year
ly tobacco consumption had increased
to nearly 100000 pounds There.
after the increase was more marked.
The average consumption of 1S75-1SS4
was 219,000,000 pounds; of 1SS5-1S94,
100000 pounds; of 1S95-1904, 401,
100000 pounds; and of 19O5-1914,
5SS, 100000 pounds The quantity of
tobacco available for consumption, ac
'cording to the process used, increased
10 rm 669,000,000 to 900,000O0O pounds
from 1917 and S2S,0OO,OO0 pounds in
1918 The average of the last two
years is better for those years than
the numbers mentioned and this is
9l4,OO0,OOO pounds. Pre-war consum-
ption was eight times the consump-
tion of 40 years before, and in the
war years apparently 10 times that
quantity.

DR.. Masters was treated to an I'm
pleasant surprise at LOOMS Friday
last. The doctor is quite a sportsman
and handy with the scatter gun. When
restrictions were lifted from killing
Chinese and Hungarian pheasants fot
four days, commencing Friday, the
doctor was among the first to strike
out with gun, and commenced opera
tons on the Sinlahekin reserve. Mucn
to his establishment he was arrested
and fined $40 and costs for shooting
on game preserve established by the
county game commission. This aston
ishment was the more intense when he
learned that the Okanogan valley re-
serve. between Oroville and Tonasket,
was swarming with hunters during the
brief open season, who shot those
birds without restriction, and shot lots
of them.

gan county. Years ago he was the chic,
booster for the ill-starred Grand View
mine, on Mount Chopaka, that at one
time gave promise of proving a prop
erty OF great value, but which. like
many another promising property IN
that locality failed to come up to ex.
pectations. For years Mr.. Gibner has
resided in Seattle. He Is still interest
ed in Okanogan county, as he owns y
valuable ranch on johnson chreek. moi
far from Riverside. Time is treating
Mr.. Gibner kindly, as he looks hardly
day older than he did twenty years
ago, and certainly the years have de-
tracted nothing from his naturally
cheerful and genial disposition.
Friday last this office had call
from Elmer s. Turner, of Seattle, field
representative of the Salvation Army,
who was interesting business men in
drive for funds for that estimabla
organization, to commence October
9TH and continue until the 10Th. The
salvation Army has done and is still
doing a vast amount of good for the
down and outs in this country, and
those who give freely of their time to
carry on the activities of that organi-
cation are most worthy people. One
feature of the Salvation Army work is
the sustaining and operation of rescue
homes for unfortunate women and
their Offsprings. The Salvation Army
Rescue and Maternity Home at Spo-
Fame has done noble work and the
organization deserves the help of ev-
cry man, and woman who takes an in
terest in the welfare of the unfortu-
nate.
1t is hardly necessary to call atten-
ton to the advertisement of the Mid
way Motor company of Wenatchee,
Waterville and Okanogan, appearing
elsewhere in this issue, as it speaks
for itself. This company handles and
distributes the Nash cars and trucks
and the head push of this enterprising
firm is T. B. Jones. one of the old
timers in the garage business of north
central Washington, having been con-
nected with the Ford agency in this
territory in 1911. He ebuilt the Jones
truck garage in Waterville, in 1913
and organized the Midway Motor com.
pany in 1916. which has grown to be
one Of the largest and most success
full automobile distributing and garage
business ventures of this. upper cOun-
try, a position won by the right SER
vice. These people have handled the
Nash agency for Douglas county since
Nash cars were first built, and since
then have taken in Chelan and Doug
las counties, and have every reason to
be satisfied with the result from bus
mess point Of view.

Rushton Supporters Predict Majority of
 Votes In Primary

Birmingham supporters, of Ray Rush ton for the senatorial short term can vassed Jefferson county staged a re- markable demonstration -for the Mont gomery candidate yesterday.
 The down town district was sub civided for the purposes of the canvass and suburban points also were assign ed to teams, who made it point to see every voter available and tell ot MT. Rushton's growing strength. The results were more than satisfactory.
 The facts that Montgomery men have left their homes and businesses to get out in the state and work for Rushton at their own expense, is a line testimonial to the. esteem in which he is held" said 0. G. Gresham, assist ant campaign manager for Jefferson county. He has just as loyal friends in Birmingham as was evidenced to- day when they got out and worked for him here.
 We believe Mir. Rushton will get a clear majority of the first and second choice votes cast in the primary"
