FINALLY at last, Mister President, the
way to stop the free and unlimited dis
tillment of moonshine sperits and Wild
cat whisky in Cyclone Streak-unbe-
knowance to the general government
is to sail in and stop it. You want a
man for General Raider that can
bunch the machinery and round up the
sinners and wipe out the whole entire
business at one fell clatter, as it were.
And in that case you can git my COM
pany, Mister President.
THE way you run it now the general
government will pick up a man now and
then, and smash a still here and there.
But that won't stop the business. The
boys don't give continental durn for
those slight interruptions. Some will
come and some will go, whilst the free
and unlimited distillment of sperits-of-
eats-a-fghtin will 60 on forever in Cy-
clone Streak. Bud Travis says he can
make a trade with the general gov
ernment to spend six months in Jail
every year, and if they will give him
six months to run his business in Cy-
clone Streak he can beat six cent cotton
clean out of sight. And Bud ought to
know, Mister President.
$50 long as a man can take bushel of
corn and run two dollars worth of
ky-unbeknowanee to the govern
ment--they boys don't particlar mind
them little annual visitations from the
city Raiders. But if you raley mean
business, Mister President-if you want
man for General Raider that can
dreene Cyclone Streak as dry as a
powder house before Christmas, am
the hucllleberry you are huntin for.
"Yours Truly,
BLACK JACK WIGGINs."
"P. S.-Mind you now, Mister Presi-
dent, l don't essentially believe it is
any of your official business what the
people do with the corn which grows on
their own native soil. And in case you
don't need me as General Raider for
Cyclone Streak, | do most fervently
hope the boys will run 300 barrels be-
fore Christmas-and all unbeknowance
to the general government.
"B ]. w"
Now as for me, l don't know what the
president will think or say or do when
he reads that secont letter from Cyclone
Streak. But at any rates, it amt my

these tribes do not have to send their

again, just think Of the Land they have

drowned in the flood. Nearly all the

addition to number OF smaller

largest, losing about 20 head of

about 100 tons of alfalfa which was
ready for cutting besides a few
horses which were drowned in the
flood.

A DUTY On Onyx.

In the following article regarding
the oynx industry in California, the
Mining and Scientific Press of San
Francisco, exhibits ignorance OF the
fact that some of the finest onyx beds
in the world are in Arizona and are
being profitably worked:
An effort is being made in Wash
ington by representatives OF the onyx
industry in California, to have duty
put upon the importa ton OF that ar
ticle from foreign countries, most OF
which comes from Mexico. 1t is claim
ed that the markets of the United
States are closed to the owners OF de-
posts in this state by the Mexican pro-
duct worked by very cheap labor, and
supplied here. There is an increas-
ing demand for onyx for fine buildings,
and this will be supplied from Mexico,
unless something is done by congress
to enable the people of this state to
compete. Were there any question as
to the quality of onyx found here a
reasonable objection might be made
and this will be applied from Mexico
product, but in fact finer qualities OF
onyx and of many varieties are to be
found in this state. With small duty
enough to cover the difference be-
tween the price of labor in California
and Mexico-the onyx from this state
would Immediately find market 10
the eastern states. Otherwise the
owners of the deposits must wait for a
local demand, which, of course, will
hardly ever be commensurate with the
supply. The amount of onyx produced
in California in 1896 was only 5000
cubic feet, valued at S24, 600. The only
onyx deposits in the United States, of
extent and value. are those of this
state At the Chicago exposition a
display of samples of onyx was made
