Son. Henry.

memory of his only son. Henry, who died
three years ago; Col. William f. Villas

USE GOATS TO CLEAR LAND.
Animals Destroy Noxious Weeds ana
Useless Shrubs in the West

Angora goat farming is attaining large
proportions in Pierce county, Wash. The
largest goat farm in the county, and
probably in the northwest, is that locat-
ed on the Orting branch of the Northern
Pacific railroad and belonging to the Car
bonade Cattle company. The company
now has 2OOO goats, and the goats are
cleaning the hills off at rate that is as
tonishing the settlers III the vicinity Of
the farm.
The farm consists Of 5000 acres of
land. OF this 100 acres are cleared,
Or, rather have been logged off and
slashed. The goats are expected to keep
down all underground, brush and weeds
A member of the company, who is in the
city, said today that the goats eat salal
brush, the Oregon grape, weeds of all
kinds, young fir, cedar, pine, hemlock,
spruce and all other kinds Of young trees
that may peep through the ground. 1t IS.

Angora hair In exceptional cases Is
pounds have been produced. Last year
this hair sold at $1.10 a pound The
company now has nine miles of wire"
fence, but this is used entirely for turn
ing cattle.
The promoters of the company declare
that the Angora goat is a revolutionizing
factor in the settlement and retaining
of the wild lands Of the state. The goats
make an absolutely clean sweep, leaving
nothing behind them after they have
pastured on a logged-off tract for a time
but the old stumps and logs. On this;

luxuriantly. A beauty about the goat.

You cannot look out upon the great

without seeing 800 or 600 people stand
ing idly around, smoking cigarettes,
talking politics or gossiping with each
other, evidently withou the slightest
intention Of going to bed; while the
peddlers, as matter of course, remain
also and are moving around among
them. Human streams continue to
pour into the square from the side
streets until daylight and disappear In
other directions. Coming home from
the theater at l or 2 in the morning
the sidewalks are overcrowded. You
can meet women carrying children in
their arms, or leading them by the
hand, as If they were returning from
some pleasure trip, or from paying q
visit. The cafes are open all night, and
the theaters have plays beginning as
late as 1890 in the morning.
