are grazed within certain well de-
Tined areas so that their work may
be concentrated on the brush within
these limits. The result is that they
have practically killed nearly all
the brush in the course either by eat
ing ii up entirely, or by barking, as
in the case of the heavy manzanita
bushes. At the beginning of the
experiment there was some doubt as
to the goats willingness to eat the
manzanita, 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
progress 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.

YOUNG BANDITS ROB
CALIFORNIA BANK

The Valley bank at Santa Clara
cal, was robbed last Friday OF
1900 by two young fellows, scarcely
more than boys. They made a safe
get away in an automobile but the
machine broke down at Sunnyvale
and they were arrested by Sheriff
Langford and gave the names of
Joe Willetts and Fred Carr, which
they admit are assumed. 1t is be-
lieved the boys are from Oregon. A
Dispatch from Santa Clara says:
Still concealing their identity, but
talking freely of the daring robbery
in which they were the principal
actors yesterday, the two boys cap
tured at Sunnyvale by Sheriff Lang
ford were brought here this morn
ing for arraignment on a charge of
robbery.
To Sheriff Arthur Langford, who
captured them, the young men made
a startling confession. Joe Willetts,
who appears to be the leader of the
gang, said he and his companions
had planned a series of bank rob-
berries that would have created a
reign of terror in financial circles.
So far had their plans matured, that
on Thursday, with an hired automo-
bile awaiting their return, they en-
tered the First National Bank, in
the heart of Oakland, and calmly
weighed the chance of making their
escape with fortune.
This Stnta Clara robbery was on
ly an experiment" said the youthful
bandit, after making this revelation.
we intended, if it was successful,
to go after bigger and richer in
stitutions and to clean up big money
before we were through.
Eve purchased machine in
Oakland and had it remain Just
around the corner, as we did in yes
terday's job. Carr and | went to
the First National Bank about 70
o'clock and looked the place over.
We were well armed, and if there
had not been so many clerks and so
many people passing outside, we
would have held up the cashiers
and tellers and tried to escape with
al the money in sight"
The proceedings were brief. The
boys gave the same assumed names
that they had given the sheriff yes
terday, refusing to divulge their
true names. nor could any informa-
tion tnat might tend to establish
their identity be ELECTED from them.
THE court will place your bail at
100000 each" said Justice Thomp-
son.
There is no danger Of our rails
ing that amount" said Carr, with a
forced laugh.
The Officers are telegraphing to
points in Oregon today in an en-
deavor to get line on the youths
identity.

Developing a Western Market.

The Pacific Coast, given for many
Years to proclaiming its extraordinary
natural resources to an audience inter-
ested in other thing. now finds itself
the most important region of railroad
extension in the Union. and can predict
with certainty that the work. already
laid out will bring it additional natural
resources of kind which it urgently
needs,-people! Curious as the state
ment may sound the transportation
facilities of this region are already
somewhat in excess of the needs of the
raw materials seeking a market across
the continest.f and when the ST. Paul,
the Western Pacific the Grand Trunk
Pacific, and the Kansas City, Mexico
Il Orient roads are completed they will
be more so. But meantime two i'm
portant thing are happening,-a great
market for the grain, lumber, and ores
is being created on the western side of
the transcontinental divide, and at the
same time the value of these commodi-
ties is stadily rising The prevailing
tendency toward higher taxation high
er manufacturing, construction, and
material costs is going to make rail-
way transportation more expensive,
too. but the increased cost may not be
borne by the thru business. If the local
business can carry" the road, the thru
business can be done cheaply for the
sake of its effect as a developer.
The grain of the Pacific Coast states
and the hinterland already moves west,

Chicago Horse Market.

Chicago, July 2S.-Equine trade is
not as active as on the opening day of
the week. but there are more COM
plants of relatively low prices for
horses falling short in weight and
quality. ALI of the eastern orders here
call for drafters that are in prime con-
dltion and ready for use, or else for
good, young, -proportioned feeders
that can be sent out to eastern feed lots
and be finished off In a short time. The
market for this class of stock is firm
and healthy, many sales being negoti-
ated at, $225 @250 and upward for the
choice draft classes, and at s160@225
for good to fancy feeders. Local buy
ers take hold of the wagon and city
delivery horses at s140@175, and buy
consignments of desirable expressers at
sl9o@225. Light drivers are wanted
when obtainable at sl75@225, and sales
OF offerings worth up to $500 are not
consummated unless an outside buyer
happens to need just that class of
stock. Shippers who came in with
conslgnments of poor, thin horses
found the market an unsatisfactory
one and said prices in the country wera
higher than al this end.
