SMUGGLING CHINAMEN.
A Business Which Is Profitable. but
Not Without It's Dangers.

A Business Which Is Profitable. but
Not without It's Dangers.
Smuggling Cinnamon from Canada
into the United States is a business
which brings large profit but is attend
ed by many dangers. Quite number
Of men are engaged in it. Perhaps al
no point along the international boun.
Gary Is the business carried on more ex-
tensively than at and near Detroit. The
Detroit and st. Clair rivers are not
broad and all that is required at least
for an attempt at smuggling an ORR
entail into Uncle Sans territory, is a
rowboat and a dark night. For SO
miles there Is not spot where an at
tempt at smuggling may not elnanate
:;nd from this it can readily be seen
that Uncle Sans agents must be per-
petually on the job and wide awake all
the time
The smugglers make the Chinese pay
handsomely the way from $40 to
500. But the risk is great enough tn
warrant the charge. Capture and con-
victiOn means fine and Imprisonment
for the smuggler and deportation Tor
the Chinaman.
1t costs anywhere from $1,000 up
ward for a Chinaman to reach the
United States by way Of Canada.
Steamer fare from China to Vancouver
is about $3.50. A like amount must be
paid to the steamer company to protect
it in the event of a man being caught
and sent back. The Canadian head tax
is $500. Transportation to Windsor and
the pay which the smuggler demands
bring the total to the amount named.
One naturally wonders why the
Cinnamon, who once here will work in
laundries at from $40 to SIP per week,
should be willing to pay such sum to
gain admission to the United States.
But it is worth it to the wealthy men
-Chinese-who put up the money.
Once here, the immigrant is virtually
their slave until he works out the sum
expended. together with a handsome
profit Even with this handicap the
Celestials are able in few years to
save enough money to enable them to
return to China and live in comparative
aff1uence the balance of their lives.
The restriction placed on their fmmi-
grafton to the United States is having
it's effect despite the activity of the
smugglers A few years ago one or
more Cinnamon could be found in al
most every American village, conduct
ing laundry. Now they are rarely
seen except in the large cities.

Rear Kills Valuable Hound.

Falling out of huge fir tree from Il
height Of fifty feet near Berlin, Linn
county, when shot by hunters, a black
bear, weighing 400 pounds, struck
squarely on a hound, valued at $500,
killing the animal instantly, says a
Portland (Ore.) dispatch to the New
York Herald. The incident was the re-
suit Of an hours chase, in which sew
eral farmers, bent on avenging the
slaughter Of their herds by bears, took
part.
Warned by the baying hounds that ne
was in danger, Bruin took refuge In the
fir tree. A few minutes later, party
of six hunters emptied their rifles Into
the treetop. Pierced by several bullets,
the animal released its hold and crash
ed through the branches to the ground.
One Of the hounds, eager to seize the
bear, rushed in, but mfsjudged the
distance and received the full impact

Another wild desert plant that. grows
profusely upon many millions Of acres

western Texas now Is being used as q
profitable source Of revenue, says the
Kansas City Star. 1t is the sotol,

c1al way by the manufacture of dena-
tured alcohol from the large bulb which
forms part of the growth. This bulb
Is situated just above the ground and
frequently is foot in diameter. The
percentage Of alcohol which it contains
Is said to be larger than in any other
known product.
1t was not until in the last session Of
Congress that authority was granted
Tor the manufacture Of denatured alco-
mol from the sotol plant. AS a result
OF this Federal permission, a sotol dis
tillery has been established at Ell Paso
and large shipments Of the sotol bulb
are being made from the Alpine section
TO that place for conversion into the
denatured product
When the early Spanish explorers
first penetrated the region along the
Rio Grande River below Alpine, more
than two centuries ago, they found that
the Pueblo and other Indian tribes had
knowledge Of the alcoholic. properties
Of the sotol plant. Primitive stills were

FOUND.

He sought the road to happiness
Through weary, weary years,
And all the ways he travelled Ger
Were sprinkled with his tears.
And still the storms of life opposed
And sorrow griped his heart.
The while he saw his hopes take wing
And one by one depart.
He sought the road to happiness,
The sunny, golden land,
But all in vain until one day
Love took him by the hand.
And led him on past frowning heights
Into valley sweet,
Where joy at last repaid him for
The lessons of defeat.
