dairy of nearly ten thousand miles in
extent AS a matter of fact, it is a
very difficult thing, as is seen by the
shrinking Chinese colonies of a hun
dred American cities. A great many
more Cinnamon die or go home to
China every year than manage to slip
past the guards.
Job by No Means an Easy One.
The simplest way, evidently, to i'm
port a group of coolies is to load
them on a vessel and land them at
some unexpected spot from which
they can be quickly transferred to
some crowded chinatown in a city
where they will be indistinguishable
from the older inhabitants. 1t is not
really so simple as it looks. In the
first place, the government keeps an
eye on the trans-paciflc steamers and
assures itself OF the destination of
any considerable bands which travel
by them. Again, a Schoonerload of
Cinnamon is not likely to set sail from
any neighboring port without some
one being aware of it who may be-
come informer.
1t was only a few years ago that
the government officers in Boston re-
ceived an unsigned postal card from
Newfoundland saying that forty-two
Cinnamon were waiting at Placentia,
little fishing village on the New
foundland coast, to be taken to "the
states A government man was sent
hurrying to Newfoundland. He reach
ed Placentia and found that the China
men had sailed in the schooner Frolic,
of Marblehead, at daybreak that morn
ing.
He telegraphed back to Boston, and
the story was given to the newspa.
pers. Glaring headlines told in every
port of the Atlantic coast how the
schooner Frolic was then at sea,
searching for place to land forty
two Chinamen with pigtails. Cutters
cruised of shore from Montauk to
Machias, and every coasting schooner
and ocean steamer along the coast
from Norfolk to Halifax kept sharp
lookout for the smuggler.

speak of in China. The whole heavy
charge for each of them is paid by
secret company, organized partly in
China and partly in the United States,
which counts on collecting the whole
sum, with an ample allowance for &C.
cidents, deaths and bad debts and a
generous profit besides, from his earn
ings after he is safely landed. So say
the men of the governments Chinese
immigration bureau. Their explana-
ton may explain also DIR. Moy's frock
coat, his pearl pin, his $4,000 in dia-
monds-and. it may be, his American
wife as well.
The organization of these compan-
les and the exact form of peonage in
which they hold their victims are not
tain that both the companies and an
organized peonage do, in fact, exist
The immigration officers expect to
know more on those points before
they are through with Dr. Moy and
the three Americans who were indict-
ed with him at Boston
But, of the ways that are dark and
tricks that are not always vain In
running the blockade the government
men are well aware. The struggled

Bigger Loaf Promised.

The size of the bakers loaf will be
increased from approximately IA
ounces to Is ounces in the next few
months, while the price will remain
five cents a loaf This announcement
was made at the closing session of
the third annual convention of the
Missouri Master Bakers association
at st. Louis. While the loaf increases
four ounces in weight, it also will
increase an inch in length. This
change in the amount of bread in
loaf is expected to curtail the amount
of bread made by the housewife in
the home. The larger bread makers
hope to make the addition to the loaf
without any extra expense by the use
OF newer and more scientific bread
making and baking machinery.

The farmers about Hill City are be

prospects and many of them through

fields into corn. The dust storms and
terrific winds in March thinned the

there were no cornstalks, and the hot
dry winds of the past few days are
doing serious injury to the remainder.
