ALARdE GOAT RANCH
KEPT BY A NEW MEXICO WOMAN.
Herd Of More Than twenty-five Thou.
sand Ansora Goats-starting With
No Money She Has Brought Her
Profits Up to $25, ,ooo Year.


Mrs. Armour. In Sierra county, New
Mexico, owns herd of more than
25OOO Angora goats. from which she
Is making $4,000 profit year. Her
Columbia Pascha" Is the most valun.
bile Angora In America and worth
$1,000.
In 1880 she was left widow, pen
niicss and with nine small children
dependent on her for support. The
ganchmcn and miners took compass
sion OH the destitute family ana con-
tributed n small sum for their immc-
diate relief.
Then she piuckily east about for
some means OF earning a living, 30
that she might not he II burden Oh the
generosity OF her friends. by chance
there driftcd into camp n ranchmnn
with u herd OF ninety Angora goats
for sale. Nobody cared to buy them.
for IL was thought there was more
money In cattle raising. With genuine
Intuition Mrs. Armour looked mt their
silkcn coats and knew that they would
be valuable.
But she hadn't any money and didn't
want to borrow. So she made u prop
osition to take small flock or the
goats, tend them and care FOR them and
breed them. and at the end OF the year
divide the profits with the owner. The
proposition was accepted. She took
her goats and her children ana went zap
on the mor>.s:in side, G,OoO feet above
the sea level. where the scrub oaks
grow In profuslon. Thus she secured
the necessary fodder. and as for shell
ter. the goats needed none. She locat.
cd a claim. built herself n ranch antf'
settled down TO work. At the end OF u
year her success was such that site
had money enough so buy flock OF
her own and start out independently.
Since that tim. each year she added
to her prosperity. She now employs
twenty Ioaihcrds to care FOR her
fiocIs. The greatest prrcauiion Is re-
quircd to project the goats from the In.
roads OF the mountain lions. or cousnrs,
which are 80 numerous that the ranch.
men have to organize hunts 60 get rid
OF them.
Through her industry and pcrscvcr-
nnc. and pluck. Mrs. Armour has
made herself wealthy. She has sent her
eldest son to college, where he Is now
studying law. and her four other chill
drcn attend school In Kingston.

remained i've minutes. His mother
finally went to investigate and found
him with stained lips standing over the
box Of berries. which was already half

TIMBER IN CHINA.
Largely Denuded Of Trees Though
Naturally Rich In Them.

Consul Miller writes from China that
he believes the future demand for Pa
ciiic coast timber In that country will
be both large and permanent. All
who read books descriptive of China
are impressed with the fact that In
that country, where every acre that
will produce food Is needed for that
purpose, most OF the land has been
cleared of trees to make room for
more farms and gardens. East China
Is nearly dcnudcd. Consul Miller says
that more than 1000 miles up the
great valley of the Yangstc there Is
practically, no timber in slight Plains,
hills and mountains are absolutely
bare OF forests, except where. here and
there, u few trees have been carefully
preserved. Some timber Is found ON
the Min river south OF the Hankstc.
but IL IL mostly OF young growth OF
poor pine. North OF the great river
there n very little timber. The west
OF China contains many forests, which
as yet have not been utilized TO any
large extent.
A great majority OF the houses are
built OF mud and brick while In south
China large amount or bamboo IL
used. More wood is consumed Tor cof-
fins than In any other way. IL Is es'
iimated that over S.OOO.OcO.O0o feet OF
lumber from four To ten inches thick
are annually made Into collins. The
next largest use FOR lumber Is for
boats, for the vast coast line, the riv-
crs and canals teen with large and
small craft. which are said to number
some millions.
A considerable quantity OF timber Is
brought into China from Corea by Chi
and up the rivers. Most OF II consists
OF iir and soft pine logs. Japan also
supplies China with II large amount OF
timber.

Mr. Mccoy called for the opinion Of

I'm my opinion the consents OF the

Mr.. zimmerman, the attorney for the
~ o. T. Co., has In his possession, are
all right. | want to see an improved
service, and I would like to have the
Council grant the permission to place
Y on Frederick st. I believe, how
ever, that if this concession Is granted
the promises of the street car company
should be embodied in that concession.
If they are willing to do this, 1t will
be evidence Of good faith on their part.
The kind of ears to be placed on the
Barberton line, the promise that all
policemen shall ride within the limits
of the city free Of charge, that fremen
shall ride free to and from their meet
ings and to and from fires free of

the company has made should be in
corporated in this concession

ized to do so. II will see Mr.. Currie
