VALUE OF THE GOAT.
Angora in Oregon Clear the Ground of
 Brush.

Portland, September 9.-The goat, for generations the butt of the ridicule of songwriters and jokesmiths, and the cause of many neighborhood wars in New York's Harlem, has come to it's own at last In Oregon, three thousand miles from the billboards of Greater New York, the billygoat roams at will over the peaceful valleys and hillsides and is as welcome as Santa Claus.
 The goats appetite, mind you, is appre- ciated in the west. In Oregon, when a farmer has felled the trees from what Is to be his farm he turns in herd of goats The goats eat the underbrush, and they keep the stumps from sproutng. The result is that in two or three years the ground is cleared of all but the big stumps, and these have died and de- cayed and may be pulled out easily.
 But besides this. the goat of the An gora variety such as is raised in Oregon possesses a wool that is valuable for many purposes. The fleece from every goat will brins the farmer a dollar or dollar and a half per year. Goat meat too is said to be an article inferior in flavor only, to the flesh of a young deer and it promises in time to supplant mutt ton in popularity.

a Valuable and interesting Relic OF
the Civil War and which was As
ISOLATED with Important Ills
torlc Events.

Our fellow citizen James Burson. is
the owner Of one OF the most interesting
and valuable relics Of the civil war. Mr.
Burson and this famous gun were under
fire for 100 days in the march from
Chattanooga to Atlanta and during the
war took part in l6 battles. the name and
date Of each OF which is engraved on the
gun barrel. In the stock Of the gun Mr..
Burson has nlaid in mother-of-pearl
taken from ocean shells the corps badges
OF large number OF the army corps OPP
Grating in the portion Of the country which
was most conspicuous at the close OF the
war.
Mr.. 3. has not only preserved the his
toric gun in excellent condition but has
treasured the cartridge box and few Of
the cartridges carried during the great
contest. His knapsaek is also among the
interesting relics which will be kept with
the gun.
A regiment armed with such guns as
Mr.. Burson's could no. stand before
company provided with modern equip
ment. II is a muZxle loading Enfield rife
and wholly out Of date in these days Of
long range magazine guns.
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1905-06-02

Mr.. Burson was a member Of tho ! Oath
Ohio which captured is stands Of eolors
a; tho battle Of Franklin. these boing TAX
on from tho enemy at tho cotton gin.
which all participants IN that battle will
remember IS the center around which tho
ficrcest fighting was done. Out Of tho %
stands OF eolors captured that day tho
lo4th Ohio had tho honor Of taking 8
which they earrird to Nashville in front
OF the regiment as trophies Of tho battle
the next day. Tho battle Of Franklin
was fought IN tho night as tho Union
army was retroating from Columbia and
the entire army came near being wiped
out at Franklin. In this battle eonfed-
crate generals were killed. wounded and
taken prisoners, more than In any other
engagement Of the war.
Another achievement Of this regiment
was the capture Of eight pieces OF artill-
cry near Wilmington. Just previous TO
tho capture tho Confederate battery took
two shots at tho regiment causing the loss
OF 81 men.
Mr.. Burson was q member OF the de-
tachment sent from the lO4th Ohio TO
Greensboro to receive the surrender OF
Gen. Johnson. This surrender was made
at Governor Morehead's residence on
May Q, 1865. Mr.. Burson was private
guard at the governors mansion and this
gun is probably the only one in existence
which was present at these stirring
scenes near tho close OF the war.
The lo4.h Ohio during the war marched
more than 5000 miles and captured more
prisoners than the regiment ever num-
bered.
The following letter was received by
Mr.. Burson in 1868 from Mrs. Walker, a
daughter of Gov. Moorehead. and which
will bs read with interest in connection
with the history Of Mr.. Burson's gun:

My Dear Sir:-I received your letter on
last evening. sent to me from Greensboro.
Your inquiries Of my fathers family were
very kind and we felt very grateful for
your kindness when you were guard
for US. My father died in 1866 and my
mother in 1868. removed from home
to this place in 1874, my son being in
business here, the little fellow Of whom
you spoke. had 2 sons, and when you
came as guard removed from his little
body the gold lined jacket" he wore when
we expected the Yankees" 1t was lined
with gold dollars and when he saw Gen.
Cox he liked his face and said he thought
we were safe when Gen. Cox was in the
house. Our country has reeuperated
most wonderfully since the war. The
negroes are doing well and everybody
trying to get on well. The negroes arc
docile and no trouble here. but never
make anything. as it is not their nature to
hink of tomorrow. My sister. Mrs. Gray
