GOATS A. TRAIT MAKERS


The brush eating instinct OF the
Angora goat is being successfully
demonstrated on the Lassen National
forest in California, whore they are
cutting trails for fire guards through
the brushy areas on the slopes OF
the mountains.
The animals. which number 5000,
have been divided into two bands.
and under the care of the herders
are grazed within certain well de-
fined areas so that their work may
be concentrated on the brush within
those limits. The result is that
they have practically killed nearly
all the brush in the course, either
by eating it up entirely or by barking
as in the case of the heavy man
zanita brushes.
At the beginning of the experiment
there was some doubt as TO the
goats willingness to eat the man
zanita. but it has been found that
where there is little else they Will
just as readily attack it as any other
bushes.
The grazing season was so late
this year on the Lassen forest that
the goats did not begin operations
until about the middle Of June, but
since then they have made rapid pro-
gress and the result promises to be
a success from every point of view
! The trails will first be opened and
then kept free of sprouts by the
goats, saving the government con-
siderable labor in cutting them out
by hand, as has been done hereto
fore, while the brushy forage which
otherwise would have been wasted
will support 5000 goats very COM
fortably.

ors. A full dress garrison review
will be held in the morning, to be
followed by general inspection of
the post by the president and the
dedication of the gift chapel. A

We are informed that land valu-
atoms for taxes in Ellis county will
not be so high this year as they
lands in Ellis was greater than In
any other county in Texas, and
as a result our people paid greater
proportion of taxes than they should
have done. The slight decrease in
values this year will still leave us
far above the average of renditions
in other counties, and above what
our values ought TO be, unless other
counties are compelled in some way
to increase their renditions

nc GAIN IN TAXABLE VALUES
Count, commissioners VIII in All
Probability Reduce TnN Rate

san Antonio. Aug 20. This is
a city in which the swear-off-your-
taxes bee does not seem to flourish
to any degree when County Tax
Collector Suth, few days ago, came
to add up the value of property
people had owned up to, he found
that his own estimate, none too CON
servative at its best, was short al
most three millions OF dollars OF what
the rolls carried. Making sure that
his calculations were right, he took
a hitch in his faculty of judgment
and resolved that hereafter all things
would be possible.
The increase in values has been
tremendous during the last fiscal
year On January /, 1908, taxable
property amounted to 5,341,369,
and for this year the value given
is $76,19S,S69. A gain of $10,S57,-
800 is thus reported Real estate
forms the bulk of taxable property
land a sharp advance is recorded IN
this. The county commissioners Will
in all probability reduce the tax rate
because too much money would be
raised with the present rate. This
matter will be taken up in few days
1t has been proposed that the pres
ent tax rate be maintained and that
the surplus that would come into
i the treasury be devoted to the eX-
tension of the good roads system So
