RAILROAD PLANTATIONS

The division of forestry of the agri.
cultural department at Washington
is in consultation with three import
ant railway companies over a contem-
| plated innovation in American rail
way methods. These roads-the At
Gibson, Topeka & Santa Fe, the Chi
csgo, Milwaukee & st. Paul, and the
Z4nes lille & Ohio-are considering
raising tie and pole timber on a large
soele on their now uon-utilized right
of-way lands. Other large western
roads are also interested.
This action is due chiefly to the
failing of the natural supply OF this
material In all but the newer portions
of the United Ststes. About one
annually by railroads in building and
repairing, and at the present rate OF
timbe depletion, the increased cost of
such material will soon be serious
factor in railroad economy. The Santa
Fe line has already done some expert
mental planting, and the results have
done much to stimulate interest. This
ROAD planted ,2SU acres IN ca5slpaS NJ
teen years ago. The total expense
was Sl2S, 600; but it is estimated by the
railroad officials that in ten years more
the tract will have produced 81, $50, 600
worth of poles, ties. and posts.
Having become convinced of the
necessity of growing their own timber,
the railroads naturally wish to take
advantage of the assistance offered by
the government to tree planters
which consists of expert advice, anu OF |
the working pla rs for plan tin g, base on |
examination. The object OF |
the government is to demonstrate the |
value of tree plan tations to land owners,
those in the treeless regions
If the west.

HOTEL REFORM.

One Of the most prsiseworthy move
ments that has been announced fol
many years is the movement that ha
been etarted by commercial traveller
TO genuine reform Of the hotels O.
the United Statesmen the hotels ir
large cities, for nearly every large
city, from Ell Paso to New York, car
accommodate travellers in comfort il
not in luxury. The reformers aim to
secure an improvement in the hotels
in small towns and the minor cities.
The country has temperance re-
formers, village improvement en-
thusiasss, free library promoters, .peo-
pie who aim at the intellectual and
material elevation of the communities
in which they live; but what ia more
sorely needed than body OF hotel re
formers, an organization with the sole
purpose of improving our public
houses?
Nothing Injuries town more, in the
eyes of the outside world, than poor
hotel. Nothing Offsets its other de-
fciencies better than one that is we'll
kept. Everybody knows at least one
town within the range of his exper-
fence with a hotel so good that be
would be glad to revisit it; and every
body knows, also, of other hotels so
ill-kept that it would be trial to step
foot inside of them again. Towns with
natural attractions, that would be
thr onged with summer guests il they
had good hotel accommod ations, are
stunned because they are deficient.
Local chambers of commerce and
other commercial bodies ordinarily
bend their energies toward the secur
ing of manufacturing Industries. 1t
does not seem TO occur to them that
they could attract mot desirable
class of visitors by encouraging the
establishment of frst-class hotels.
VIII at the public wants is not mere
gaudiness, bu. cleanliness, good cook
ing and cheerfulness. How many
hotels in Texas or New Mexico are
act ually cheerful?
A guest at public house likes to
find something at least distantly sug-
gestive of home. He does not like to
be met on every side by evidences OF a
cheap commercialism. Varicolored
plush-covered furniture does not i'm
press him with its elegance. He is not
oheered by the sight of chrome art on
the walls. He likes land It is pity

cheerfulness. 1t is not necessary Co

ANGORA GOATS
Their Value To the United States
Set Forth

Special CORES pondence of the HERALD.
LAKE VALLEY, N. M, March s.
Probably what is to become one of The
: leading Industries Of the United State
is st present in its infancy.
For the past ten years the GROWN 8
OF Angora goa5s has increased very
rapidly, and today there are in the
what might be called good Angora
goats and about as many more OF g
lower grade.
The Angora is principally noted for
its growth OF wool Tor properly
mohair) which is of a very fine quality
and at present is worth from % TO 81
cents per 10. 1t is used mostly for
In upholssering Pullman and passen-
| ger coaches.
The present consumption of Mohair
in the United States is 10 round mum
bers 2,0OO,O 600 pounds per annum; of
| this amount there Is imported annual
ly 1,250,OO0 leaving the supply from
home little less than half of the total
consumption.
Another great feature of the Angora
goat is the most excellent substitute
of it's hide for tn 1t of fine fur bearing
animals. VIM. l.. Black, general mao
ager of the Fort Mckavett Tanning
company, in one of his pam phlets gives
some excellent accounts of the differ
ent kinds of furs that can be made from
Angora goat hides. A few extracts
from his accounts will suffice to ex-
plain how this can be done.
The buffalo, which has supplied
buggy and carriage robes for so many
centuries has bsen exterminated aud
nearly all other XII 5 of fur are very
rare and expensive.
The demand for IT, lass of pro.
duct has always been enc n us, and
glance at any fur Dealers price list
will convince any one that the fur
industry IS one - great promise. There
Is no domestic .! shat can supply
this great demand Of we human family
better thau the Angora goat, inssmuoh
as the sims can be taken in such a
variety of etares.
For ine.e"c" when the hair Ia of ore
months growth j. can hardly be dist n
guished from the Natrachsn, if dyed
black; or it can be taKeu ct an earlier
period of growth and be made to re-
present the polar or black bear, &C
cording TO the character OF the dye
used.
'Itmay not be known that nearly
ell the buggy robes that are now
sold rs wild animal fur, are nothing
more than goat skins dyed and perhaps
young ladies who admire the so call
ed real monkey skin muffs and cloaks,
will bs surprised to learn that they are
only straight haired goat skins dye d
black.
zone of the most profitable uses that
the Angora goat skin is put to is n
making lace trimming, which COM
mands price per ward equivalent to
$l5 for single hide.'
1t will be seen by the foregoing that
AnRora goats are destined to become
very valuable, and it is generally con-
ceded by people who have expert
mented that goats will thrive in any
place in the United States. Their
meat is as delicious as that of the deer
and their tallow is second to none for
purity. A few head of goats on farm
are invaluable, as wild and under
growth exterminator.

Al. G. Fields MinstreIs.

No minstrel street parade has ever
approached for novelty and magnitude
the pageant which AL G. Field puts
on this season, horsemen and footmen
gaily uniformed bandsmen. waving
plumes and banners, Ministries and
mamalukes, all blend in one line and
inspiring spectacle which gives an
idea of the performance of the AL.
G. Field greater Ministries, the head
of the column being taken by twelve
sWarthy mamalukes, mounted on sup
erb Arabian horses and bedecked in
the gaudy and picturesque costumes
of the far away orient. During the
parade they give an exhibition of their
curious style of horsemanship. which
in itself is well worth seeing. Behind
come the MINISTRIES, headed by the big
band furnishing the musical inspird-
ton. The band is always a feature with
the AL G. Field companies. This year
their music is up to the same high
standard. The daily parades are made
a feature of the AL. G. Field greater
ministries. Opera House Wednesday

They stand for very highest
excellence. and are the mark on

assistance of the guards, back 95 yards
for the third touchdown. In this
march down the field every man was
asked to carry the ball with the ex-
ception of the center and quarterback,
After Cross had made an unsuccess-
full try for goal, from PENIS 40-yard
line, the Quakers again set their
guards back machine like and slowly
pushed Cornell back yard by yard.
Captain Starbuck's men this time,
however, stubbornly resisted the Qua
kers' onslaughts, but it availed them
nothing, as it only made the Quakers
work little harder for their next
touchdown.
PENIS last. touchdown, as stated al
ready, was made by Potter, on So
yard run.
1t is conservatiyely estimated that
fully $4,000 people saw the two teams
play their last game Of the season.
The football game between Pennsyl-
vania and Cornell is the feature of
Thanksgiving day in this city, and
a big holiday crowd is always in at
tendance. 1t was very enthusiastic
crowd, considering the slow game,
and cheered every good play, notwith
standing which side made it. A band
of about 500 Cornell students. who
came from Ithaca, made things lively
on the north stand by keeping up an
almost constant yell for the white and
carnellian. The red and blue had
three we'll organized cheering sections
and they made a great volume of noise
when they cheered together. The
Penn student signalized the victory
by a great snake dance on the field
which was led by the University band,
When they had tired, the Cornell men
formed in line, ten abreast, and para
ded over the tgridiron, cheering for both
old Penn and their own Alma Matre.
