GOVERNMENT EXPERIMENTING
Angora Goats VIII Be Grazed in National
Forest to Stop Spread of Fires


Three thousand Angora goats herded
out on the brush-covered foothills Of
California are going to do some hard
work for Uncle Sam during the coming
two years beginning this spring. The
experiment will be unique both as
stock-raising proposition and as an en-
gineering and tree culture problem.
The little white animals whose long
wool is of such great value are going to
be put to no less a task than construct
ing mile after mile of fire line through
the bushy chapparal growth in the
national forests, saving much labor by
the United States Forest Service engi-
neers, and making way for forestation
by merchantable trees. Not the least
important feature of the experiment,
which for the first two years will be
confined to the Lassen forest, is the
fact that the task will be performed
during the regular grazing by the goats
which will not even realize they are
doing valuable work.
Plans for carrying on the work are
outlined in cooperative agreement
drawn up by the forest service and the
owner Of a band of Angora goats graz
ing on the Lassen national forest Of
California. The scheme is to run fire
lines parallel with the contour of the
slopes by cutting trails about eighty
rods apart. These trails are to serve
as guides for the Angoras. They will
Craze in each direction from the trails,
killing it is estimated a strip Of brush
about 800 yards wide. The wide lanes
cut out and grazed by the goats will
serve as ideal fire lines in protecting
the forest-covered lands lying beyond
and around the chapparal areas, and
also make place for reproduction of
merchantable trees.
For the past two years the govern
ment has been carrying on permanent
Improvements in the national forests
on an extensive scale, and the con
struction OF fire lanes and trails has
been one of the most important fea-
lures of the work. The task Of clear
ing the ground and providing land for
good forest trees is, however, perhaps
the most important benefit expected to
come from the experiment.
The proposed work of the Angora
goats may finally solve the chapparal
problem which has been troublesome
in the state of California for many years.
The bushy chaparral growth chokes
out seedlings of valuable commercial
trees which may get start, and when
dry is one of the worst kinds of fire
risks. Often small blaze which starts
in it gains such headway in few min
utes as to travel hundreds of yards and
lick into valuable stands of merchanta-
Bile timber.
The protection to be afforded by the
goat-built fire lanes, therefore, may at
last bring relief to the state, which in
the past has had its full share Of timber
loss through destructive forest fires.
At the same time, large amount OF
chaparral will be killed out to make
room for the growth Of good trees that
produce lumber. If proven successful
at the end of two years the work will
be carried to national forests in other
sections where chaparral has choked
out good forest trees and created a
dangerous fire risk.

The first session of the third house

Hon. c. B. Kegley, master of the
Washington State Grange is in the
city this week. Mr.. Kegley is mem
Der of the Legislative committee of that
body. When that committee was ap-
pointed it was the intention to have at
least one member in Olympia during
the entire session of the Legislature.
This course has not been followed for
two reasons: first, several members Of
the grange were elected to this legis-
lature and the task of looking after
legislation has been left to them;
second, small hopes have been enter
tanned of any progressive legislation
along Grange lines very early in the
session, and even lobby of one is
considered superhuous. Mr.. Kegley
will look over the ground for a few
days however, and ascertain if there is
any chance of anything being done
towards putting the principle OF the
Grange into law.
Beech, Of Mason, would have state
powder mandatory installed at the

is the only dangerous feature of powder
making.
Part of the Lincoln Day observances

however, included a Saturday adjourn

Honest Abe been thoughtful enough
to have his birthday come in the
middle of the week.
As net result of the legislative
labors of last week one more bill has
become a law, little below the previ-
GUS record of FIVE bills in four weeks.
Other bills passed both houses but
there is many slip twixt the cup and
the lip and counting bills before they
have passed the entire lenghth OF the
gauntlet is like listing fresh ranch eggs
as spring chickens.
Tuesday of next week, however,
marks the legislative dead line, when
new bills must have unanimous consent
SO things will doubtless be doing along
initiative lines and this week be noted
for admission rather than completion.

But at one of the performances the

There is fashion In decoration that

This is the idea of having deep dec
orative borders on fabrics of solid
color.
Separate borders can be bought at
the large shops with surprising ease
by the woman who knows how to root

come for curtains as rule, but they
serve admirably.
The foundation color is usually deep
tinted. although some good patterns
can be got with the foundation in
natural crash tones.
The color note Is intended. of
course, to harmonic with the room In
which 1t is placed.
The border may be fastened on by

NEW IDEA
Helped Wis. Couple.

1t doesn't pay to stick too closely to
old notions of things. New ideas often
lead to better health, success and hap.
piness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea new
to them and stepped up several rounds
on the health ladder. The husband
writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless,
nervous, sallow, weak and irritable.
My wife and / both loved coffee and
thought It was bracer." (delusion)
Finally, after years of suffering, we
read of Postum and the harmfulness
OF coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
when we made 1t right we liked 1t
and were relieved OF Ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the change
--fresher skin, steadier nerves, better
temper, etc.
THESE changes were not sudden,
but relief increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
Many Of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make 1t right. But when they boiled
/. Postum according to directions on
pkg, until 1t was dark and rich, they
liked it better than coffee and were
benefited by the change" There's
