Dealers ought therefore to keep in stock
and give preference to home made cigars,
and consumers should likewise call for
them. One who should refuse to keep
them, after they have been called for,
has not a proper spirit of loyalty to the
town where they themselves are sup
ported. One of our earlier presidents
once set the example of patronizing
home endustries by wearing a suit of
homespun clothes in preference to the
fine broadcloth of England's looms. It
is a healthful and satisfactory spirit to
cultivate.

Mr. Peterson informs us the cigar
trade is dull. It would seem strange
that a city of this size could not consume
all the cigars that could be made by the
cigar-makers of the city. .As a matter
of faet many more cigars are con
sumed than the number daily made here,
but the trouble is that Eastern goods
are too often purchased. It is a fact
that no better cigars are bold than those
made at home. Consequently there is
no good reason why foreign should be
preferred to borne brands. The pictures
on the box may not be so gaudy, bat the
cigars cannot be excelled. On the' con
trary there is every reason why home
cigars -should be given the preference.
Their production adds to the number of
consumers of all other lines of goods.
The money sent away tor labor of mak
. ing cigars is kept at home. 'The cigars
made are known to be unadulterated.

ine cruel (Jolutubia has swallowed up1

him every advantage that he might per

Marcus Vanbibber was drowned "abou
dusk last evening while swimming in
bay-like place in the river at the mout
of a slough four miles below The Dalles
Those who were swimming with him
were Thos. Lorenzen, Andrew Pearson,
Will Sechler, Clem Whittle and a
smaller bov who accompanied them
Tarfiuu was a stood swimmer;' and Tor
some reason struck out from the bay
into the current of the river. This cur
rent skirts the bay and its line ot de
marcation is otherwise established by a
precipice beneath the surface. A swim
mer may step off a level into eighty feet
of water, and the temperature of the
water changes as suddenly from warm to
cold. It was not the cold water which
destroyed young Vanbibber by giving
him cramps, but an unusually powerful
current, which commenced to drag him
underneath the moment he struck it.
He realized his danger at once ; lie per
ceived his inability to battle against the
fearful suction of the fierce current, and
shouted twice for help. Seckler started
to help him, and finding himself in al
most the same perilous position as Van
bibber, he in turn shouted for a hand.
Lorenzen, who was just within the bay,
extended bis hand just in time to save
him from a like fate. The current must
have been very powerful, for Lorenzen
says be was almost pulled off his feet
trying to draw Sechler out. Poor Mar
cus Vanbibber was forced to give up the
struggle and sank after a moment of
heroic effort. He tried to reach the bay
again, by stemming the current. It is
thought that if he had swam with the
current, he could have reached the bank
lower down the river. He was an ac
complished swimmer.
Within a short time efforts were made
to recover his body with grappling
hooka, bnt they were unsuccessful. This
morning about daylight efforts were re
sumed by Al and Walter Klindt with a
sturgeon line, and the first cast was suc
cessful. He was brought up about 20 feet
from where be sank, one of the hooks
catching him under the chin.
The death has created an air of gloom
over the city, ae toe young: man was
well known and universally esteemed.
It will be a sad blow to the parents, who
had centured their hopes in a bright
career for Marcus, and bad taken great
pains with his education to fit him for a
long and useful life.
The funeral will occur Sunday at 2
