"In the South, where there is an

with brush as to be of no practi-

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regula, Correspondent.

rrOm Vur Regular correspondent.
OF course it is the solemn duty
OF sthe Washington correspond
.ent OF a Democratic newspaper
to be loyal to the Democrats in
Congress, and that is the en- as
tant aim OF your correspondent.
But there are times when it is diff
ficult and that your readers may
understand how hard it ia l am
going to cut loose this week and
tell you a little bit of inside his
tory.
The Aldrich financial bill is Sc
verely condemned, not only by
Democrats but by many Repub-
licans as a measure that will
make for the Wall Street specu-
lators, the bankers in the big
cities of the East. and the spec
ial interest OF that little crowd
which always contributes sogen-
erously to the Republican cam
paign fund. Ofcourse this means
that a splendid opportunity is
afforded the Democrats to make
a fight in the Senate for the rights
of the people and OF the entire
country. Senator Stone, OF Mis-
souri,, saw this opportunity, and
sought to secure concerted ac-
tion by the Democrats. So he cir
culated q call for a Democratic
caucus to oppose the bill. Many
OF the young Democratic Sena-
ators signed the call and all went
we'll until they met Senator Tell
er. Mr.. Teller, who when he left
the Republicans camd and was
baptised q Democrat must have
escaped entire emersion, refused
positively to sign the call. He
said he knew the Democrats too
we'll, that they could never get
together on anything and would
never stand together and he
would not sign the call or be
governed by the decision of a
caucus. Then Senator Baily was
approached. He jumped on t b G
proposition hard. He SAID that
Aldrich was prepared to accept
an amendment he, Baily, was
writing, and that he was quite
certain that he could amend the
|Aldrich bill until it was a very
lgood bill. This means, of course
that Aldrich has so fattered Bai
~ by agreeing to accept an un.
Important amendment, that he
has won the absolute allegiance O
the Texan. But Baily and Teller
are both members of the finance
|coinmittee which Aldrich domi.
mates, and with both opposed to
q Democratic caucus, and refus.
ling to be bound by one, t ere
was no hope of success and sc
the idea was abandoned and an
other fine opportunity lost. Is
it not disheartening?
Speaking OF Bailey, he has been,
through the courtesy OF Senator
Culberson. his colleague, m a d e
chairman of a committee, h {

Useless Paper in the Executive
Departments. OF course this CON

The Angora Goat.

Mr.. H. L. C. Bryan, the scholar
ly Washington correspondent OF
the Charlotte Observer, on the
Angora Goat might be Of inter-
est to some of our readers just
now, as we have heard the ami
NAL in question very much dis
rcussed. Mr.. Bryan's article fol-
lows:
The United States Department
OF Agriculture is not fully appre-
ciated by the farmers ofthe coun-
try, especially those OF the South
ern States. All sorts OF informa-
tion are gathered and compiled
and sent out Tree and those who
take advantage OF it profit. One
day last week picked up asmall
book on "The Angora Goat"
prepared by George Fayette
Thompson, editor of the bureau
OF animal industry. The story OF
the beautiful goat, with the long
and valuable fleece. fascinated
me. The origin, history, descrip-,
tion, names OF breeds, the locali-
ties best adapted to the raising
of the goat, and much other in
formation aregiven.
The Angora goat came from
the Bezora goat, or wild goat OF
Persia In telling of it's history
Mr.. Thompson writes: "The An
CORA breed Of goats originated
in the village Of Angora in Asia
Minor, but it is not known when
that was. Some have ventured
to say that it was 2,400 years
ago. There is pretty strong eyi-
dence which goes to show that
they were q distinctive breed
when Moses was leading t h e
Israelites out of Egypt. Goats
hair was spun by the Israelites
for use in the temple.
"The story recorded in First
Samuel, chapter 10, OF the artic-
lie Of Michael in deceiving them mes
sengers of Saul by placing an i'm
age in the bed in place OF David
and giving it a pillow OF goats
hair, is believed to have been a
pillow made of Angora's fleece.
"The City of Angora, or Engu-
ri, the capital city of the vilayet
Of Angora, is the ancient Ancyra
and is located about 220 miles
south by southeast from Con-
stantinople. Angora was t h e
seat OF one of the earliest Chris
tian churches, which was proba-
bly, established by the Apostle
Paul. The pr ovince is mountain
GUS to a considerable extent and
furrowed by deep valleys. 1t is
about 1900 foet above the level
of thesea. The climate is sextreme,
the country being covered with
rain and snow in the winter.
sit was here that this famous
goat reached perfection. That
the altitude, the soil or the cll-
mate: or all of them together,
had much influence in producing
the feece-growing goat is sup
ported by strong evidence"
Il North Carolina is growing a
few Angora goats. The number
OF goats is put down at 42,901,
at a total valuation OF $37, ,997.
This includes all sorts Of goats,
and the average value is les 8
than q dollar. Montana has but
l1,713 goats, most OF which are
Angeras, at a valuation OF ST.
$40, more than 81 a head.
/ The fleece, which makes the An
CORA goat so profitable, is known
as Mohair. Yields from a single
goat bring handsome sums OF
money. In 1905 a doe owae,l by
q woman in New Mexico sheared
IA pounds and the hair was sold
in New York at lefollowing pri-
ces. two pounds at IS, making a

Humboldt Is All Right

Reports which are coming in from
all parts of the county assure beyond any
question that Humboldt will roll up q
big majority for Bryan, Senator New
lands, Congressman Bartlett and the
entire state ticket at next months cleo
ton. This forecast is not founded upon
mere speculation, but is supported by
unquestioned evidence of the voters in
the larger precincts such as Lovelock,
Winnemucca, Mazuma, Seven Troughs,
Chafey, Golconda, National, Paradise
valley, Vernon, Rosebud, Mill City,
Humboldt House and Rebel Creek.
The sentiment in the mining camp
precincts, which include the greater
part Of the county's new vote, has been
canvassed sufficiently to indicate that
it is overwhelmingly for Bryan and the
democratic state ticket. This was
practically the only unknown quantity
of the election as far as Humboldt is
concerned, as the county, aside from
the new vote, was known to be safely
democratic. With the assurance, now
clinched, that the new vote is also
largely democratic. there is now
nothing uncertain about the result in
the county except the size Of the major
ity for Bryan, Newlands, Bartlett and
the remainder Of the state ticket.
Humboldt will poll close to 1900
votes this year and from present indica-
tions it will be the banner democratic
