even in the case of fire, and
would also enable the shutting off
of a portion of the current at any
time to make connections or re-
pairs. This would require the lay
ing of 1866 feet of inch pipe and
necessary accessories and a more hy-
drants at a cost of 81, ,375.02.
If the system was extended to
the south side addition, l would
recommend laying six inch pipe
from Alturas and Stanfield ave.
across the railroad to First street,
street to Jackson ave-, thence north
easterly on Jackson ave. across the
railroad to Alturas street and con-
Meeting with the inch pipe on
that street. This would make d
complete circuit for the south side
addition, and with all the accessor-
les and fire hydrants would cost
$500. 90. This would furnish a
fire protection with pressure un-
der a 100 foot head at the corner of
AltuIaS street anu AIldIlld ave.
| (Roscoe Smiths drug store), and
with the purchase of l., 500 to 1000
| feet of fire hose and hose carts
there is not a building inside the
circuit which could not be reached
with streams from different direc-
tions, and and many cf the build
ings outside the circuit could be
reached with one or more streams
and at a cost of $40, 3O8.73.
AS the prevailing wirds in this
vicinity are from the north and
west, the pipes should be laid or
| the south and west sides of the
streets and avenues, and fire hy-
drants placed on the same col ner,
thus giving better facilities for
fighting fires and less length oi
pipe required for connection to the
hydrants.

Solon Mccoy of Little Camas, !
Idaho, who is one of the reliable
and progressive farmers of Elmore
county, did us the honor to travel a
score of miles out of his way,
during a recent trip to Emmett,
in order to make friendly call at
the Gem State Rural office. The
occasion of Mr.. McCoy's visit to
Emmett was to purchase a hundred
and fifty or more Angora goats of
Conda Wilson, the goat breeder,
near that place. MIR. Mccoy has
now 344 Angoras and milk
goats. Among his Angoras are
some rich blooded registered ami
mails, sired by famous South At
rican bucks. The best importa-
tio are from South Africa, and
this stock is of course long priced,
requiring four figures to express
the market value of the most noted
of these animals. The Northern
Angora & Live Stock company of
Helena, are liberal importers from
South Africa, and J. w. Fulton,
secretary of that company, is also
secretary of the American Angora
Association. Tie Montana CON-
parry referred to made a record
two bucks, which weighed out AZ
pounds, for lump price of so. so
per pound, which, expressed in
dollars, amounted to the astonish-
ing sum of $273. The length of
mohair of these fleeces averaged
from IL to % inches, and being
remarkably choice, brought the price
up to the top notch. To get the
very best figures Mr.. Mccoy says
the mohair must not only be long
and of extra quality, but must be
carefully graded. Some New Mex
leo breeders, he says, have received
as high as $40 per pound for small
quantities OF the very choicest.
But the ordinary price runs from
35 cents per pound up, and common
goats shear from to a pounds.
Aside from the value of the mo.
hair, Mr.. Mccoy says there is {
considers BILE demand for goat meat
1t is sold in the market for 4 oa'
venison." The goat kid mea', he
says, is becoming quite popular il
some markets,
Goats, he says, are easily KEEP
and are more prolific than sheep
They like brush and coarser rough
age, but are not averse to alfalfa OF
, other forage. Mr.. Mccoy consider:
his location, which is more or les:
hilly and precipitious, well suitec

BAGGIGD FROM BEACH.
Passengers on Jersey Shore Shocked
by Adam-and-Evc

At Jersey Shore, Pa. shocking re-
ports of carelessncss regarding bath
ing there have bobbed up from time
to time. The costumes worn by
these frolicsome bathers have been
the cause Of complaint. I'm fact, the
costumes have been overlooked en-
tiroly, and it is this that the town
authorities object to.
Passengers on the trains and troll
ley ears passing the river have told
stories whereby they gaZed with Il
dread curiosity on the water frolics.
Time was when the Garden Of Eden
effect was confined entirely to the
men, but now women have been add
ed. This calls for decisive action,
say those in control.
So the police were given special
orders to keep Il lookout for those
who pooh-pooh conventional garb,
and officers carried out instructions
to the letter. Even, 1t is said. that
some of the women who disported
themselves in this highly unusual
manner are prominent socially; but
this is diScrodited
