No one ran help boosting It There has never yet been a knocker com. out of the (otinlrv. But the tunny man of Wonder doesn't know news from edl-torial comment, and In his cuto. funny way he sends us a cartoon ahout the Hood situation In Wonder, and gives credit lo The Bona tun for the •xpresalons of the men from the camp. He has a picture of two moun-tains* that Is. w« suppose they are mountains, for they are both labeled 1.300 feet high. He Inscribes -Ha. hi». the idea of a flood On- of lh* noun tains Is Indited Tonopah and the other Is Wonder. The Idea of a taxi In either place.” Ha, ha. again.We do not kuow how long you bare been in ihla country, sonny.We have only the word of yohr fellow townsmen about the flood of Wonder but we have been In Tonopah for some time, and we have seen rlv-water running through the streets of this mountain city, and Into the stores of Ihe main street until we were thinking of starting a gondola trust as the only solution for locomotion.

If yon had only the Interests in Wonder that the proprietor of Hi- Bonanza has you wouldn't be pushing a pencil; neither would the writer of this be banging a typewriter. There Is no water In his stock either, notwithstanding the Hood of Wonder, and he Is not flooding the country with Wonder securities He Is keeping all thnt he hasThe only conclusion we can arrive at Is lhat you are trying lo Impress upon us your ability a* a cartoonist of the wild Western life. K mi you should label the goods more clearly, and let us know Just what you are driving al Ob. maybe It Is a Job you are hinting al. Well—well, tbrrrs uothlng doing Mar
