The Livestock Show at Portland.


Since the 10Th of September there
has been in progress at the Lewis and
Clark exposition at Portland the great
est livestock show ever held in the
great northwest, and it is not likely
that we will very soon see another
like it in this section. Thirteen states
were represented: Oregon, Washing
ton. California, Montana, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Indiana,
Iowa, Illinois, Wyoming and British
Columbia. Large numbers of animals
were entered in each class, every one
of them representing the highest type
of their particular breed. Among the
exhibitors from the northwestern
states we note the following: Hol-
stein Friesians-P. A. Frakes, Soap

Goitre Amonq Goats and Kids.

A case of gOitre among AngOra KIDS
was recently brought to the attention
of Dr. D. E. Salmon, of the department
of agriculture, by Editor Williamson,
of the Oregon Agriculturist and Rural
Northwest. 1t was suggested that it
is now claimed by some veterinarians
that goitre in lambs and kids is a
contagious disease and, if so, the sub
ject appears worthy of an investiga-
ton by the department of agriculture
DR.. Salmon replied that, while the
cause of goitre in young kids or
lambs is not definitely known, the dis
ease is found to appear endemically,
attacking by preference, flocks which
have been subjected to facilitating
conditions. In certain sections it has
been noted that the newborn offspring
of ewes kept in close confinement dur
ing the winter may all be affected,
while those from flocks having suit
able exercise escape. Poor diet has a
similar effect, and any factor which
serves to produce a debilitated con-
dition in the mother may lead to the
appearance of the disease in the Off
spring.
Because of the frequent appear
duC0 VI Iu0 ulSGdSG Ill lOCdllClO0 III
which magnetism limestone forms the
substrata, the presence of this class
of stone must always be looked upon
with suspicion, and water from soils
of this character is unsuited to ami
mails or people affected with goitre.
"Where the disease proves fatal
to the young of a flock careful exam
nation will usually show that one or
both of the parents are affected with
the same malady, though in less
acute form.
GAS to treatment all facilitating
causes should be removed, and the
best hygenic surroundings should be
secured for the flock. The hair may
be clipped from over the swellings
and the parts painted once day with
tincture of iodine. At the same time
fifteen grains of potassium iodide may
be given internally once day for
week, then repeated after an interval
Oh five days."
1t appears, therefore, that DR.. Sal
mon holds that the disease is not con-
tagious, but endemic, that is, that it
is a disease which is likely to be
common in certain districts from To-
cal causes, and shows no tendency to
spread from such districts through
the country generally. If this is the
case it will be quite relief to many
Angora raisers, who have become
afraid that the trouble might become
common in all Angora raising dis
tricts.
The Carbon Cattle Co., of Orting,
has sold so head of Angora goats to
the Clear Lake Lumber Co., Clear
Lake, Wash, to be put on logged-off
lands.
Just so sure as the number of graz
ing animals is allowed to increase be-
yond the capacity of the range we
must expect more or less loss. 1t is
never safe to attempt 10 Craze seventy

Just before going to press the Re-
public added the following words:
Mrs. A. j. Splawn today received a
message from her husband at Port
land saying that Bright Hope, one of
the COWS of the Hereford herd taken
by Mr.. Splawn to the exposition, has
been adjudged the grand champion.
The best Herefords in the whole coun-
try were in this show and Mr.. Splawn
naturally feels highly gratified by his
success"
Interest in Angora Goats Increasing.
"The interest in Angora goats is in
creasing among the farmers west of
the Cascade range" reports Manager
Johnson, of the Carbon Cattle Co,
Orting. "The value of goats, particu-
larly on logged-off lands, is becoming
pretty well understood.
1--WE receive a large number of in
quiries from our ad in The Ranch, !"
he continued. "In the majority of
cases the inquirers seem to be look
ing for first information, so that the
percentage of sales to the total of in
quiries is rather small. We nearly al
ways make sales, however, to those
who visit our ranch and are thus able
to see the stock for themselves. The
way they have cleared up the brush on
our land is certainly an object lesson.
We want people to visit the ranch, and
assure all who come a heary well

southern Minnesota throug hout

The heavy immigration to north.

few years has come in large
measure from Iowa and southern
Minnesota so that we have bor-
rowed hundreds and thousands
of settlers from the southern
part of the state to enrich the
northern part.
It was time that we had a bu-
reau of immigration. The state
has lands in plenty and it wants
settlers but we ought to be going
outside the boundaries of the

With the state immigration blu.

1910 will tell a very different
story as to the sources Of gain in

MURDER MAY
BE THE RESULT
Moorhead Men Quarrel Over
Right to Escort a Is Year
Old Girl Home.

Moorhead, Mimi, June 90
AS result ola quarrel over a
Is year old girl after the Fore
paugh & Sells Bros, circus last
evening in this city, Max E. Mil
Ter is in a hospital suffering with
a fractured skull and Frank
Jones lies in the county jail,
where he is held to answer to
the charge of assault with dan
gerous weapon. This charge
may be changed to murder if
Miller dies.
Incidents leading up to the
trouble were as follows:
Jones went to the circus per
Torrance last evening with Fife
Pollard, aged Is. He had been
drinking earlier in the evening
and was somewhat under the in.
fuence of the liquor. On the way
home from the show, a quarrel
took place between Jones and two
Fargo men, Max Miller and Carl
Bake, which resulted in Jones
striking Miller across the fore
head with fence picket. The
front bone was crushed in.
The first intimation the police
had of the crime was at las this
morning when Miller's mate
body was found in a vacant lot
near Eighth street north.
The entire trou BILE was the re-
suit of the Pollard girls COM
plant to Miller that she was
afraid of her escort.

DYNAMITE PROVES FATAL
Aeronaut Blown to Pieces While
1900 Feet in the Air.
oonn e. Baldwin Meets with Horrible
Death While Giving q Demon
stration at GreenYiIle, o.

Greenvlllc, Ohio.-John T.. Baldwin,
an airship navigator, was blown to
atoms here while 15Ce feet in the air
by the explosion of six sticks of dy-
Mantle. His wife and two children
were among the $4,000 spectators who
witnessed his death.
Baldwin had been giving daily ex-
hibitions at the county fair here. He
would ascend several thousand feet and
explode dynamite at intervals. This
time he had gone up 1900 feet. and his
airship was soaring birdlike. Every
eye among the thrilled spectators be-
low watched him until he became al
most a speck.
Suddenly a great cloud of smoke ap-
peared. 1t hid the airship from view,
the spectators supposed, as the bal
loon had vanished.
In another moment the sound of the
explosion reached the straining ears.
The airship did not appear again to
vision. Ftf ttEg
For a moment the crowd waited ex-
pectantly, thinking that a view of the
aeronaut would be obtained through a
rift in the smoke. A second-two-
three and, finally, a minute passed and
the supposed smoke did not clear. Then
a grOan of horror rose from the null
titude.
The airship had vanished. Where
it had been but a moment before was
only space. twenty-five thousand pairs
of eyes searched in vain over tie heav-
ems for the speck which had been hui
man life.
A woman's shrek broke the spell.
The practiced Y of Baldwin's wife
told her of the tragedy in the clouds
before the crowd could fully compre-
bend. With n piercing scream she
fell in a dead faint.
Searchers Immediately began looking
for fragments of the wrecked airship.
A half mile away they found pieces Of
silk cloth, of which the balloon was
made, and splinters of the basket-like
frame work on which the aeronaut had
been perched. Scattered about a twen-
ty-acre field were fragments Of Bald
wins body. The distance was so great
that the crowds had net seen them fall.
When they realized what had hap
pened forty or more women tainted,
while the faces of the men blanched.
The tragedy occurred at the end Of the
days program, and the crowd was
quickly dismissed from the grounds.
No one can tell how the accident oc-
Cured. The six sticks of dynamite
which Baldwin carried with him must
have exploded simultaneously, as only
n report was heard. 1t is supposed
that in igniting the fuse connected
with the dynamite he set fire to a leak
of hydrogen gas from the balloon, the
gas forming an explosive mixture with
the air, and that this explosion set of
the dynamite also.
Baldwin was engaged I'm a demon
stration of the possibilities of aerial
warfare. For almost twenty years he
had been giving balloon and airship ex-
hibitions about the country, for the
most part at county fairs. He was
thirty-seven years old. and his home
was at Losantiviile, Ind.

RACE SUICIDE INCREASES
Proportion Of Children to Adults
Steadily Decreasing.
Omcial Government Report Shows Som
Startling Facts-statistics in
Brief From 1910. ).

Washington, D. C.-That the proper
ton Of children under ten years old to
the total poulation of the United States
has decreased almost uninterruptedly
since the early part of the century is
the startling information contained in
a report of the Bureau Of Census of the
department Of Commerce and Labor.
Believers in the race suicide theory
have found in the report much in sup
port of their belief. The proportion Of
children under ten years old constitute
ed approximately one-third Of the por-
ulation Of the United States at the
beginning Of the century, and less than
One-fourth at the end.
The decrease has been more rapid
during the last two decades than in
those Immediately preceding them.
The report says in part:
The decrease in the corresponding
proportion for whites began as early
as 1910 and continued uninterruptedly
until the end Of the century.
"Since 1880, when the figures were
first obtained, the proportion of the
negro children under ten years of age
to the total negro population has de-
creased. There was, however, an in
crease from 1860 to 1880. On the other
