PROFITABLE POINTERS
FOR GOAT RAISERS
A Merlin Farmer Tells How
He Makes Money Rails
ing Goats.

Editor Courier: In regard to the
Angora goat question / send you a
clipping from the Oregon Agricultur-
list and hope it will interest some of
the goat raisers of Southern Oregon.
There are some who think grade buck
is just as profitable as a thorough. Z.
bred. but they are far from right, as
thoroughbred will put in the first
cross. at least pound more Mohair
and of a better quality, and by care
ful breeding can increase the number
of pounds and quality every year, and
thus make Angora goat raising a very
profitable industry.
We have just bought another flock
Of good grade Angoras and will in a
few years have bunch of very fine
Angoras as we have 30 thoroughbreds.
We only keep the best of Billies, our
old ones clip for this Spring was 10
pounds and the Nannles clip from
five to eight pounds. We have one
grade kid that clipped five pounds.
We have dog that herd the goats ana
brings them home nights, so they are
very little trouble. F. A. PIERCE.
Merlin, May 90 l 06.
The Portland buyers of mohair sug-
gest to us that we urge upon the mo.
hair growers of Southern Oregon the
Importance Of using good bucks in
their flock. They find that the mo-
hair clip of Southern Oregon averages
as whole much below that of the
Willamette Valley in quality. This
is not surprising for most Of the An
CORA raisers in that portion of the
state are comparatively new in the
business and it is no easy matter for
beginner TO get the best quality of
standard goats. II is possible, how
ever, TO bring about improvement
quite rapidly by buying good bucks
and culling out as fast as possible the
inferior, coarse-haired goats in ones
flock. The natural conditions in
Southern Oregon appear very favor
able for the raising of Angora goats,
and for the production Of a fine
quality Of mohair There is so much
rough land in that portion of the
state which is covered with brush OF
shrubby tree growth that the An.
CORA industry must eventually be.
come one Of much importance, and
those who are starting will hasten

RAISING. BIG HORSES A
PROFITABLE BUSINESS
The Demand Is Steady and Prices
More Than Double for
Little Horses

That there is a difference in the
profit to the horseraiser of the little
horse that only sells for $50 to 800
and of the big horse that readily sells
for 5000 to $3.50 is becoming better
known each year among the farmers
of Oregon. And the farmers of Jose
phine county propose to take advaDt-
age of this greater profit in large
horses as is proven by their importing
last year two of as large and fine
Percherons as ever were brought to
the Pacific Coast.
Other counties of Oregon have bee n
raising heavy draft horses for some
years past and the farmers have real e
lied big prices for their young horses
as the following from the McMinn-
vile Reporter tells of recent
sales made in Yamhill county:
THAT it pays to raise big horses has

therefor 1926. Stock raises Of this
county have been wise in improving
the grade of their animals. and they
are now reaping the reward of such
wisdom in increased prices.

SALOONS SUPPRESSED
IN SAN FRANCISCO
Created Disorder and Since Closed
City Has Been Most Or
derly in Its History.

The San Francisco Chronicle said
one day last week; "San Francisco
for the past fortnight has been abso.
lutely free from disorder and virtually
free from crimes of violence. There
have been no street brawls No
drunken brute has beaten mis- wife.
No gamblers have murdered each
other in low resorts. Except for
some dealings with sneak thieves, the
occupation of the police courts is
gone. 1t is most impressive object
lesson of the value to society of the
restriction of the liquor traffic We
are promised a continuance of this
peaceful condition for considerable
time to come, save only as drunken
men may drift over from oakland F.,
where the authorities have been so
reckless as to allow saloons to open.
We may be compelled to renew the
quarantine against Oakland.
Such a statement, coming from such
a source, is significant.
In its period of terrible affliction.
the city of San Francisco not only got
along without saloons, but would
tolerate none.
Possibly some children will live to
see great American cities, even il not
stricken with calamity, free from
disorder and crimes of violence, "
where there will be mo street
brawls"; where for fortnight
mo drunken brute has beaten his
wife" where gamblers have net
murdered each other in low resorts" -
all of which, and much more, more
than can be told or even more than
hinted at in print, is due to the liquor
traffic, to the saloons.
Saloons are generally recognized as
an evil, and it is said they are a
necessary evil. 1t seems from this
statement in the San Francisco
Chronicle that for a fortnight they
were not a necessary evil in that great
and hitherto wicked city.
There is large suggestion in this
fact Portland Journal.

POLICE CAN ARREST
ALL AUTO V|0LAT0RS
Commissioner Smith Makes a State
ment Explaining the Law--lnspec-
tors Can Demand the License.

TRENTON, Sept. 1.-THE State
Motor Vehicle Commissioner, j. B. r.
Smith, made public yesterday a state
ment denying an assertion credited to
him to the effect that police officers
and constables are without authority
under the new automobile law to ar
rest without warrant, such authority
being vested only in the state auto
mobile inspectors. He says such is
not the case except in so far as the
right to demand licenses for inspec-
ton is concerned.
This power is not conferred on
peace officers. They car only arrest
without warrant for offences commit
ted in their presence. This, however,
could be construed to give them pow
er to arrest were they sure the auto
mobilist was without a license. In
other cases an automobiles can only
be arrested for offences he is seen
committing. Only the magistrate or
a state inspector can compel him to
show his license. If he refuses them
he is liable to a fine of $25.

H0STILITIES
SUSPENDED
Efforts Being Made TO Success
fully Bring About Peace on
the Island.

HAVANA, Sept. THE committee
of veterans which visited General Guz-
men, in Santa Clara province, to ask
him to suspend hostilities pending
peace negotiations has returned 10
Cienfuegos and reports that Guzman
has suspended hostilities entirely pend
ing the negotiations for peace.
The veterans who visited Colonel AS
bert, in Havana province. report that
the committee sent to Pine Guerra, in
the province of Pinar del Rio, had not
yet returned, but they add that there
is not the slightest doubt that he Will
follow Guzman's example, as Guerra
has always avoided fighting.
The report that the government has
suspended the prosecution of the cam
paign for the present is confirmed.
General Menocal was busy through
out the day receiving callers, mostly
Moderates and veterans, and holding
conferences. He said he had no rea-
son to be disappointed with the prog
ress the negotiations are making and
that the semiofIicial suspension of hos
tilities which began in Santa Clara
and Havana provinces would be ex-
tended to Pinar del Rio, giving the vet
erans a chance to get among their com
rades and others in the field and push
negotiations for peace. General Me
mccall appears not to be discouraged by
the attitude of the Liberals.
The demands which came from the
insurgents themselves as the price Of
Il cessation of rebellion are regarded
in the capital for the most part not to
be considered. These demands include
the restoration of deserters from the
rural guards to their former positions.
the reinstatement of Liberals who last
year were deposed from municipal of
fees, the retention of their arms by the
insurgents and other equally radical
propositions.
The Liberals have not yet relin-
quished the hope that they may be
able to force the resignation of Presi-
dent Palma and all the high govern
ment officials.
Many business men of Havana ridi-
Guile the whole effort for what they
call a patched up peace, which, they
allege, can be no more than temporary,
and some 90 so far as to assert that
the country never can be governed
rightly or investments be absolutely
safeguarded unless the United States
i%ntervenes. This is frankly stated in
some cases also by high government
officials and brings the retort that
those who make such statements are
not good Cubans.
Despite all drawbacks, however, the
fact that peace proposals are pending
and that Inequalities have been sUs-
pended has brought more or less hope
fulness to the people of Havana.

MUNICIPAL LIGHT FOR
ISLAND, SAYS MCGOWAN

After inspecting the Staten Island
lighting service, Acting Mayor Nc
Gowan, of New York, announced yes
terday that the only solution of the
problem was for the city to build it's
own lighting plant for Richmond
borough. Until yesterday he had Wig
orously opposed the idea.
Il am opposed to municipal own
ership, just as much as Mayor Nc
Clellan," he said, but there is moth
ing else to be done in Staten Island.
Business may suffer on the island if
the present inadequate plant should
break down. The business men there
are dependent on it for light and
power"
Comptroller Metz was much pleas
ed that Mr.. MCGOWAN had come
around to his way of thinking.
''Of course Staten Island will have
to have a plant of its own" said he.
81 signed the contract with the pres
ent company because it will take two
years to build a city plant, and we
had to do something"
The lighting company on Staten
Island is owned by H. H. Rogers,
who is said to have put 100000 in
the company and to have refused to
go deeper into his pockets.
