or Great Benefit 10 the state A&ri-
cultural Department..
Mr.. Lenoir Hunt, who has been attend
ing the Fruit, Flower and Vegetable Fes-
tival as the representative OF the State
agricultural department, left last night for
Austin. When seen by Post reporter. Mr.
Hunt said:
THE Fruit, Flower and Vegetable Fes-
tival is splendid testimonial to the mag
nificent advantages of South Texas. The
displays in every department are superb
and well arranged and reflect much credit
upon the manage ment Of the carnival and
the progress and enterprise of the peopI i,
of Houston.
In this connection, may say that the
department of agriculture is deeply In
terested in the efforts of the Houston Bust
ness League and the commercial. clubs OF
other Texas cities in behalf OF the ma
terial welfare Of the State; and, In the
absence of an efficient law and liberal
appropriation with which TO carry on the
work for which it was created, has been
compelled to rely very largely unon thesc
organizations. We are almost daily In re-
ceipt OF inquiries relative to the advantages
and resources Of Texas from prospective
investors boards OF trade and represent
an adequate law and an ample approprlh-
ton. the department, working In co9Jnnc-
ton with the different commercial bodies
OF the State could be made an instrum ent
Of incalculablc benefit in advertising the
ursurpasssd attractions OF the Lone Star
State to the world.
1.-THE insurance branch OF the department
now yields to the State an annual revenue
OF over Sl00. 900 Ia excess OF the amount APP
prorria,ed for the support of the entire
department. and it is our intention to
submit to the next session of the gisla-
ture convincing facts In support OF the
necessity for establishing fi1st-class' UP

wind-up on the first night Of the ii9ese
riots in Denver, IN the TALL OF 1881, soon
after the publication OF the famous MoreY
letter. Sixteen Cinnamon were slaughtered
by mobs in Denver that night. Although
Phil Dixon had often been heard to express
his disgust for Cinnamon. he not only kent
cut OF the hunt for them on that night,
burt stood to lose his life in their defense.
He did this as he afterwards told me,
because he felt II all over that he had
played his string and h. wanted TO see the
thing out while standing up.
Anyhow. on the first night OF the riots
Dixon was down town, taxing IN the VIII

close to where he was standing. Dixon
called out to him

But the Chinaman. mistrustug Dixon,
