DIES IN MALTA
Daniel Tressler Came to Mon.

Malta, June Daniel Tressler, age
sc, died Wednesday in this city. He
was one of the early pioneers of this
state, having come TO Montana shortly
after the civil war.
Probably no one IN the state has
had a more interesting life and a great
er experience than he. When just a
young man he enlisted in the war with
the 31th Ohio infantry and served fer
three years, and came u of the ser
vice with "A rank Of first lieutenant.
Shortly after the close of the war. in
90, he, together with two companions,
came to Montana. making the trip in a
this state were at Virginia City and
Bannock.
He lived at Virginia City during the
period when the Nigilsnte committee
was the law of the land and saw it's
enforcement. II was generally under
stood that he was a member of this
committee but no one ever heard him
confirm or deny the report. After min
ing for several years in the Virginia
City country he went into the sheep
business on Flat Willow creek near
Billings.
A number of years ago he came to
this section of the state and filed on
land near Landusky, where he again
entered the sheep business, which he
followed for Il number of years. : He
has made this part of the state his
home since that time. At one time he
owned one of the gold mines in the
Little Rockies. which since the time of
his disposal has proved to be one of
the paying properties of the hills.
He leaves three daughters, Mrs,
Maude Whitcomb and Mrs. Mabel
Walker, both of Neihart; and Mrs.
Mildred Smith of Winnett, and A mum
Der of other relatives in this city.

Washington, d. c.. May 81
Thomas Riley Marshall. former vice
president, is authority for the state
ment that what this country needs is
a good five cent cigar.
Cigars of the old time standard SELL
ing for five cents would be a long step
back to normally. according to confirm
ed smokers of this grade of tobacco.
The nickel cigar was long regarded as
the poor mans luxury, and he ought
to have it back again.
Abolition of the luxury tax on cagars,
where the consumer paid directly to
the retailer and he in turn to the gov
eminent. sc many pennies. depending
upon the price of the cigar purchased
did away somewhat with the odd prices
such as seven and eight cents. How
ever, the tax on cigars remains. ana
is not considered low. Because of
this and the high cost of production.
most of the brands of five cent cigars
have never dropped back to that price
level.
According to manufactures. this was
about to be realized when there was
written into the tariff bill now in the
senate q duty of S2.35 on Sumatra to-
bacco from which wrappers are made.
Sumatra. cigar makers say, is essen
tia in combinations with the American
tobacco filler to make a fragrant and
acceptable cigar which will retail at
five cents.
There has been a long tax on Sumatra
which must be imported. 1t started
as a war tax. and is one of the rea-
sons why the price of the former nickel
cigar went soaring.
Some of the tobacco raisers are for
and others are against the high tariff
on Sumatra at present in the tariff
measure. Some of them believe that
wrapper and it's disuse for cheap cigars
will be a benefit to them. An all
American tobacco cigar would have to
be put on the market, and this would
mean, they think, the entire use of
their crops at a good price in order
to supply the demand which will spring
up.
Opposed to these are some growers
who believe with the manufacturers
that the quality and fraS \ given
by the Sumatra wrapper will turn many
cheap cigar smokers to more expen-
sive brands using imported tobaccos,
or to cigarettes. This would mean a
lessened demand for the American pro-
duct, with consequent direct loss to the
tobacco growers. Using the imported
wrapper in spite of the high tariff on
it would mean there could be no nickel
cigar of the old quality unless the Amer
lean grower of the filler were paid
much less for his product in order to
bring the price down to the old retail
figure.
Decline of Cigar Smoking
1t is declared by the manufacturers
that fewer cigars are being smoked to-
day in the United States than were
consumed five years e They say
this is due to the high prices of cigars
