FARM LOSS ENORMOUS
 THROUGH SAIL WASH

Denison, Tex, Nov. 1S-(Special
 correspondence of The RepUblican.)- The farmers of the United States lose
 each year in soil washed from their
 land enough to pay the entire ex- penses of the national government at Washington, declared Congressman J. T. Watkins of Louisiana today in an
 address before the Congressional Red
 River Improvement association, which
 is holding it's second annual conven-
 tion in this city. MT. Watkins made
 a strong plea for forest preservation and waterway improvement and ad- vanced some startling figures regard ing the rate at which the national
 resources are being exhausted.
 From the soil which is washed from the land and the caving of the
 river banks one billion tons of silt
 accumulate in our river beds annual
 ly," he said. This soil is the most
 fertile part of the land and it is
 worse than wasted. It is not only lost for all practical purposes, but forms an impeachment to navigation in making sand bars, catching logs and filling up the channel of the stream, often causing it to go entirely dry
 While millions of dollars worth of levees have caved and washed into the river, this does not constitute the main expense of this soil wash. It is usually the virgin soil which first washes into the streams. This vir gin soil usually produces more abun dantly than commercial fertilizers. If commercial fertilizers are worth s20 per ton and we should estimate this soil which is washed off of the land at the same value, we see that there is lost twenty billion dollars every year. If the value should be di- vided by twenty the loss would still be one billion dollars-enough to pay ! the entire expenses of the national government, including the executive, ! the legislative and the judicial de- l partments.
 When a man puts a ton of com | mercial fertilizer on a piece of land I and it is washed away by d single ! freshet, he realizes his loss and begins ! measures to circumvent a recurrence | But when the surface of his soil is | being gradually destroyed by erosion, | he neither plants shrubs or terraces i his land to prevent it. There has " been a time when he could move his . new ground from field to field simply ! by clearing. it, but that time has | passed. The primitive settler had one | hundred and sixty acres of land given | to him by the government for home. Il His four children each inherited for ty acres of this from him. But his grandchildren will not have enough Il land upon which to make a living and the public lands of the govern Il ment are practically exhausted, at least so far as they are adapted to agricultural pursuits. It becomes nee essary for each land owner to con serve in every possible way all the land which he owns.

LARGEST DAIRY GOAT
 HERD IN AMERICA
It Is Located Only Three Miles North Of Castle Hot Springs in Yavapai County, Arizona.

C. E. Champie from his ranch neal Castle Hot Springs, is in the city at
 tending a meeting of the Americana
 Swiss Milk Goat Co., of Arizona, com
 posed of C. E. Champie, Geo. Hagemar
 and others of this city. This enter
 prise took permanent shape about the
 first of August. last, when the articles
 of agreement were entered into and
 signed by the above named parties who have formed their new venture in
 to a close corporation no stock or
 shares 10 be sold.
 1 The herd now consists of over 200
 good half breed Angora- Mohair milk
 goats, and seven imported thorough
 bred Swiss does and four thoroughbred 1 imported Swiss bucks, consisting Of
 one Schwatzenburg, one Toggenburg
 and two fine Saanen Billies. Their they believe to be the largest regular established milk goat farm in the | United States or all America for that matter This farm is located about 3 miles north of Castle Hot Springs in Yavapai county, Arizona, near the Champie Angora goat ranch. The ob- ject of this company is to not only bring forward the utility and adapti- bilty of the goat as a means of wholesome home milk supply on farms and suburban homes, but to also pro- mote milk goat dairies, and the breed ing of goats for larger milk produc- ton.
 This movement is strictly part from the Angora gsat industry or Mohair production. Angora goats are not noted for large milking qualities, but what they do produce is invariably of very high quality in percentage of ca seine and butter fat. The immunity of goats from tuberculosis is doubtless a point that will tell greatly in their favor in the future. In all Europe they are esteemed, especially among the peasantry. as a safe and economical means of home milk supply.
 The members of this company believe that this industry has been over looked in this country. partly on account of the foolish prejudice that prevails against goats. due some times to their vagrant habits and the some times character of the males There is now at West Hartford. Conn. and in several other eastern cities reg ularly organized milk goat keepers as- sociation for discriminating information among their members regarding the rare utility and breeding of the milk goat.

THE PRISON AGAIN
 OPENS FOR SPENCER
The BlackmaiIer Who Appeared in Phoenix Last Summer Doing Time at Leavenworth.

II A man by the name of Spencer or
 Cameron, invaded Phoenix last sum-
 mer representing himself to be a Chin
 csc interpreter connected with the i'm
 migration service of the port of New York. His business here he said was not official He was on a tour of re- lcreation. He would disdain though to look into the mining business a little.
 He started one or two deals but noth- ling came of them He frequented 1 Chinatown a great deal, and one day
 he went before the city and county au-
 thorities demanding that a raid be made on the Chinese quarter where he said opium smoking and gambling were
 in full blast.
 The matter was investigated and it was learned from China Dick. the ma yor of Chinatown, that Spencer had made a demand upon the colony for money and when it was refused he went away threatening to have that section pulled.
 About that time Spencer left town and soon after an inspector from the immigration service came here and be- gan making inquiries about him. He had his record for several years, but for some months he had been lost sight of. Spencer was only one of half dozen aliases and he had served alto gether fourteen years in different peni- tentiaries, in every case but one for impersonating a federal official.
 Most of this service had been in coast prisons, but Spencer had lately been east and had been traced as far west at San Antonio. Tex, where he was kept under espionage for a time. He was not then wanted for any crime but the government was merely watch ing him. He purchased a ticket for Fl Paso, but left the train at some inter mediate point and thus the officers lost track Of him.
 He came to the surface in Phoenix. Leaving here he went to Tucson where he disappeared again. Word was re- ceived yesterday that there will be no trouble in locating MT. Spencer any time within the next year and a half. Mail addressed to him at Leavenworth federal prison will be promtply deliv- cred. He had been convicted in Kan sas City of persOnating a Chinese in- terpreter.
 He spoke the Chinese language flu ently and at one time had held some position in the. service.

 The water courses of this country are capable of producing energy suf-

When our timber is exhausted for the pur- poses of fuel and our coal is gone we must look to our streams to sup ply motive power in the form of cleo tricity with which to propel our en- zines and furnish light and heat, and while our forests are being renewed we must look to our vanishing supply of iron to perform many of those functions now performed by wood.
 No individual, no local or state government can utilize our navigable streams for profit to the detriment of navigation. The national government will not improve them except for purposes of navigation, and as the growing forests. the building of le- wees, drainage and revetments will tend to improve navigation, it is evil | dent that we must look to the na- tional government to protect our i streams from destruction.

TARIFF REVISION
 BY ITS FRIENDS.

By their ante-election declarations the republicans are committed to tar if revison. The house and senate have authorized their committees to conduct preliminary Investigations. Practically every republican candi- date for the presidential nomination is a srevisionist of unknown degree.
 But what is meant by tariff revi- sion?" The policy of the republican leaders in congress is to make their assurances of revision a party asset and to forestall during the campaign discussion of the abuses of Dingley- ism. As a political move. they desire the advantage of promising relief and at the same time they seek to dodge the political inconvenience of telling the country hog that relief shall be administered. Shat duties shall be re- duced, what taxes shall be capitalized. Mir Payne. chairman of the commit tee on ways and means, gives away the game by announcing that it. would be unwise to disturb business by dis cussing the tariff now, therefore, his committee will not sit until the votes are counted.
 This looks like a scheme to hum bug the voters. Precisely what they want to know before going to the polls is whether republican candi- dates, if elected, propose to perpet- uate a system of protection which af- lords shelter to monopoly and grants the foreigner cheaper American pro ducts than the home consumer, and

whether powerful interests shall be longer rewarded with special privi- leges in return for political support. MT. Payne says that reyison of the tariff next year will be protective tariff, and probably minimum and maximum tariff Does he mean, as some of his brother stand-patters have said, that the Dingley rates should be the minimum and that su. perimposed rates be added as a max, imum in retaliation against countries whose trade we need?
 If the republicans carry the next congress, Mir. Payne, Speaker Cannon and Representative Dalzell, all con. firmed stand-patters. will control tar. if reyison, and Senator Aldrlch. an. other stand-patter. will have the re, shaping of the bill in the senate Even if the democrats were to carry the presidency and the house they would still be confronted by a repub- lican senate. The prospects for thor ough revision are not bright. So fal as the republicans are concerned more will depend upon the individual courage of the candidates for he next house than upon their party plat form and their campaign pledges.
