Once again the country is being flooded
with letters from some alleged unfor-
mates, who are doing the Edmond Dantes
act in some Spanish prison. He is, as of
yore, the possessor of an alluring bunch Of
simoleons, which just prior to his arrest
he had converted into a draft and de-
posted In a secret drawer in his trunk,
which is in a boarding house in London,
so that the minions OF King Alfonso can
not get hold OF the cash. 1t is secure be-
yond the reach of detectives.
There are several variations of the story
of the modern Edmond Dantes, but one Of
the favOrite plans is for the writer of
the letter from Spain to claim to be a
distant relative Of the recipient Of the
letter, through an American marriage Of
his ma, and that he wants the recipient
to open up a correspondence with him
through the good" chaplain OF the prison
in which ne is confined, in order that
plansNmay be devised whereby the secret
drawer in the London trunk in the obscure
boarding house may be secured, the draft
obtained and brought to America, and then
the proceeds or a big percentage Of them
Will be divided with the recipient.

establishing Of this stockyard, seem to
win, and why? 1t is not a question of
revenue, as that-if any-would come
anyway, no matter where located. if

Again. why must the city council, or
part OF 1t, encourage the starting of
such enterprises. when benefits accrue
TO only one individual while il is
against the wishes of those who have
located their homes in certain parts?
Stockyards should be kept out Of the
city limits. for they are of no benefit
within the city.

"HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE
SUPERIOR TO STOCKYARDS.'
Editor FL Paso Herald

Editor FL PaSo Herald
According to Mr.. Blumenthal, as ap-
pears in his statement to The Herald
of the eth inst, the dumping down in
the midst Of those persons who unfor-
tunately reside in the second ward, OF
a disease breeding stockyard, will
hurt nobody and will benefit the city
This is a very untenable opinion and
clearly shows that the subject has not
received a full and unbiased examina-
ton.
1t appears that the promoter Of this
stockyard had to pay 81 a bale for hay,
10 which he objected, and thereupon
decides to build a st0kyard or stop
shipping. This is very thin; the repre-
sentatives of the city take up the al
legged grievance and decide to allow
the promoter to build such, simply be-
cause he says he intends importing 3d.
600 cattle each month
Why house these shipments in the
second ward? Plenty of room outside
the city where such would not interfere
with anyone, instead of in the city, and
right in part of the city that is grow
ing and which on the final decision of
the Chamizal case will speedily be built
up with homes by a class of worthy
citizens who cannot afford residences
on the north side.
The citizens. property owners and
voters of the second ward. as soon as
they learned of the intention TO build
stockyards in their home section, as
good and progressive citizens placed be-
fore mayor Jos. Z. Sweeney a signed
protest against it. Mayor Sweeney
saw, without even visiting the grounds,
that operating stockyards within the
city limits would be a disease breeder
and a universal nuisance, and there
fore the wishes Of the signers TO the
protest should be respected.
Have their wishes been respected?

ESTABLISH COTTON FIBRE MILL
New Yorker Investigating Cotton Supply and Railroad Facilities.

New Yorker Investigating Cotton
 Supply and Railroad Facilities.
 Little Rock-The establishment of a plant in Little Rock or some other city in the cotton region for separating cotton seed hulls into cotton fiber for the manufacture of paper and into hull bran for cattle feed is the purpose of the visit or H. H. McIntire of New York, who is now in the city MT. Mclntire will attend the cotton seed crushers' con vention this week He represents q firm of American and foreign capi- talists The method of converting the hulls into by-products is now in use, he says in Germany, France and Brazil.
 An expenditure of $50,00O will be made in establishing a 30-ton a day plant as soon as the location is se- lected. Mir, McIntire says he is here now for the purpose of making an investigation to ascertain the ex- tent of the cotton market and of the railroad facilities in this locality. He will proceed to other cities before completing his investigations.
 The hulls from which the paper and food products are made consist of the outer envelope or shell of the cotton seed after the kernel, from which the valuable cotton seed oil is extracted, has Seen removed To these hulls certain per cent Of cotton fibre tenaciously adheres.
 This cotton fibre constitutes val uable raw material for paper mak- ing, but until lately it has been inn possible to free it from the shell in cheap and efficient manner. The fibre is said to make a fine grade of writing paper, as well as being useful in making explosives, artific ial silk, etc The paper is said to be equivalent to that produced by new cotton rags
