wOMAN'S BIG GOAT RANCH.
ward an Energetic and Persev-
ing Widow for Their Care.

Mrs. Armour, in Sierra county, n.
NJ, owns a herd of more than $4,000
Angora goats. from which she is
making $4,000 profit a. year. Her
Columbia Pascha" is the most val
liable Angora in America. and worth
$1,000, says the Chicago Tribune.
In 1899 she was left widow. pen
niless and with nine small children
dependent on her for support. The
ranchmen and miners took compass
sion on the destitute family and con-
tributed a small sum for their i'm
mediate relief.
Then she pluckily cast about for
some means of earning a living. so
that she might not be a burden on
the generosity of her friends BY
chance there drifted into camp a
ranchman with a herd of 90 Angora
goats for sale. Nobody cared to buy
them, for it was thought there was
more money in cattle raising. With
genuine intuition Mrs. Armour
looked at Their silken coats and
knew that they would be valuable.
But she had any money and
tidn't want to brow. So she made
a proposition 10 take small flock
of 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, and went up on the
mountain side. 5000 feet above the
sea level. where the scrub oaks grow
in profusion. Thus she secured the
necessary fodder. and as for shelter
the goats needed none She located
a claim, built herself a ranch, and
settled down to work. At the end
of year her success was such that
she had money enough to buy
flock of her own and start out in
dependently.
Since that time each year has
added to her prosperity She now
employs 20 goatherds to care for her
Hooks The greatest precaution is
required to protect the goats from
the inroads of the mountain lions.
or cougars. which are so numerous
that the ranchmen have to organize
hunts to get rid of them.
Through her industry and perse-
verance 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 children attend school in
Kingston.

ONE week REMAINING
FOR FINISHING TOUCHES
But Even Now the Jubilee NinStrelS
are Prepared to Thrill with En-
trancing Music and to Fill
with Laughter.

Two months ago in this city an en-
thusiastic crowd OF people assembled by
appointment and began the rehearsals
for an entertainment which is to be given
here on April Is and II, two nights.
This entertainment is going to be a
minstrel show and nothing of the kind
was ever presented in this city before.
Why? Well, in the first place, North
Yakima, which is now city of 5000 in
habitants, prospecting under the influx
of immigrants from the east, who come
here with money TO invest, has gal
axy of musicians, both instrumentalist
and vocalist of no i'll repute, in fact
never at any time in the past could 30
many local stars have been gathered tc-
gether and formed into chorus of
such magnitude as the Jubilee minstrel
next week
The material for producing a first
class musical entertainment here is the
best that can be found in the state of
Washington. Some OF the soloists who
are to participate in the coming minstrel
show have appeared to great advantage
on the Lyceum Operate Stage of Ia
coma, and before appreciative audiences
in the Seattle and Grand opera houses
OF Seattle. Aside from the above men,
toned features, another rea son why the
performance will make hit the first
night is due to the unique idea of Dlrec-
tor Harry Baylor, Of Boston, in putting
on mixed chorus.
There will he three end men and
three end girls and it is safe to say,
although the men are much the
superiors OF any that have yet played
in this capacity before a Yakima public,
that the latter trio will capture all the
laurels. Mrs. J. b. Burns and Mrs.
Dan Arnold both have two winning
coon songs md Miss Gilman will keep
the house in an uproar with some trop-
ical jokes. W. II 7. Bell on the mems
end would make anyone laugh Just to
see him decorated with burnt cork, and
A. A. Tylees coon song is worth the
price OF admission alone. George Vance
is too well known TO demand any COM
ment 1t is however the consensus of
opinion among all who have seen him
that he was cut out in the first place for
cork artist. Don't blame ANYBODY
but yourself, if YOU fail to see this show.

"You know Jack Clancy? No? Well,

Richmond, Va, June 15.-If former
President Grover Cleveland will &C.
cept the position he may become the
successor Of Thomas Jefferson as pres.
ident Of the University of Virginia.
Since the death of Jefferson many
years ago the university has had no

legislature passed law authorizing
the board to elect president.
For this purpose they will meet at

that OF Cleveland stands out conspic-

TAX CAUSES DECREASE
IN OUTPUT OF 0LE0
Nearly $4,000, 900 Pounds Less of the
Product Is Made, Compared
With Last Year.

Washington, June 15.-There has
oeen an enormous decrease in ths
amount of oleomargarine manufac'
:ured in this country as direct re
suit Of the law providing that the
packages of this product must be
marked plainly, so that the consu
mers may know exactly what they are
buying. and imposing tax of 10 cents
pound on all oleomargarine colored
in imitation OF butter
The figures prepared by direction OF
the commissioner of internal revenue
show the sale of oleomargarine for the
ten months ended April 80 last
amounted TO 64,511.ls1 pounds, as
against 99,362,s0S pounds in the same
months year before. a decrease o.:
34,S51 ,622 pounds. The tax was paid
on 62,295, 440 pounds of the uncolored
article. and on 2.2l5,741 pounds of the
colored product.
The government officials assert that
the only conclusion to be drawn from
these figures is that great many per.
sons will not use the substitutes for
butter made from cream when they
are in a position to know exactly
what is being offered them.
Shortly after the new law went into
effect the production OF oleomargar.
inc decreased by nearly onehalf, and
for time it appeared that this i'm.
portant industry would be forced from.
the market.
Recently, however. there has been Q
large increase in the manufacture of
oleomargarine, and IL the increase
continues for another year the amount
produced will reach the high point 1t
attained the last year before such
rigid restrictions were imposed by
congress. There has been large in
crease in the sale of butter.
