TEXAS GOAT IS
 FINE CHARACTER He Does Not Eat Tin Cans But Gets There Every
 Time

San Antonio, Tex, June 4.-(Special.)- The Texas goat is credited with a lot Of things not usual to his kind He does not live on tin cans, scrap iron and all that array of castoff stuff which Is usual ly considered delicacy in menu, but when it comes to foraging around among cactus gluing himself to steep hilsides, and getting food from places apparently
 out of reach of any animal. the Texas goat gets there. But aside from all these
 habits which have made him famous l along unusual and at times humorous lines, he does number of other things l far-reaching in importance. He might l have been the emblem of one of the two great political parties, but for some reas- | on his versatility was overlooked. and he goes along in the same old way. What the Texas goat is doing commercially is the one thing that makes him important.
 Al least four-ifths of the mutton used in the south is goat meat in disguise, and those who use il, as a rule, declareNit superior to the flesh of the sheep. It requires a real epicure to distinguish goat chop from a mutton chop. particular ly if the former has grown from kidhood to goathood on Texas roadside and fed upon the nutritious grasses that are not accessible to less venturesome animals. In tho line of food product, however. is not where the goat shines commercially. The mohair crop produced in Texas amounts to millions annually, and is said to he the best quality in the world. Millions of pairs of gloves are made annually from goat skins produced in Texas
 iS a1S n fa l,at a n fso-called chamois skin that is on the market is nothing more than Texas goat hide given certain treatment in the pro- cess of tanning. Another contribution Of the Texas goat to the commerce of he state is m pelts used for rugs. the An gora and Mohair goats being especially profitable in this particular. In the rough lands west of this city and in the noun tainous portions along the Pecos and Devils rivers q -herd of goats that does not contain from 1000 5000 in considered small. .An advantage, too, of the goat yer the sheep is the fact that he is cap able of taking care of himself under all most all conditions and does not require the presence Of herdsman all the time The goat has made much Of the rough land of Texas highly profitable. and there are many people in This state whose wealth approaches Il million, every dollar of which was made by raising goats. The Texas goat. like the Texas mule, has made place for himself and his effect upon the commerce of the state Is growing greater all the time

Letters From the People
Those Sidewalks

Editor News: I am glad the local board of trade and the Conn. Western News are agitating the idea of having the sidewalks of Canaan fixed up, and 1t is pleasing to know that the people who own property along the main streets are that they intend to put their walks in good condition. I think that when the work starts, in the spring, there will be 8 large compliance with the idea of bet ter walks, and that the ones that hesi- tate about giving their promise will join che procession and follow the good exam ple There are some sidewalks in the most prominent places in the town that are disgrace to the people who own them, and l hope, as well as great many other citizens do, that the board of trades movement will make them see how unpopular snch sidewalks are. and result in having them repaired.
 Yours very truly, G. (Mrs:)
