OREGON LEADS IN MoHAIR.
Industry Started In 1867 Now One of
Most Important.

Portland - "The Angora Goat and
Mohair Industry of the Pacific North
west" is the title of a book recently
issued by Alva L. Mcdonald, secretary
of the Northwest Angora Goat associa-
tion. 1t contains the full report of
the convention of the association
which was held in Portland in connec-
tion with that of the woolgrowers in
January last, and much valuable in
formation relative to the industry, in
cluding a historical sketch of its
growth. The first Angora goats
brought to Oregon were imported by
A. Cantral from California about 1867,
according to this publication. Oregon
is now first it is stated in the number
of Angora goats and the production of
mohair in the United States. The
value of the annual clip approximates
$4,000. The value of the yearly in
crease is approximated at $400, 000
Oregon mohair commands the highest
market price.

REVOLT NEARLY OVER.
Mexican lnsurrectos Agree to Armis-
tce With Government.

Ell Paso, Tex, April 25. Members
of the peace commission last night de-
clared that the revolution in Mexico is
as good as ended. General Madero
agreed to an armistice, providing the
government would arrest all military
operations, and favorable reply from
the City of Mexico is regarded as a
foregone conclusion.
Amid the cooling of the peace dove
General Navarro, from the forest of
his gray whiskers, smiled benevo-
lent smile, and in advance of official
orders released the three American
prisoners, Blatt, Converse and Brown,
from the Juarez Jail, where they have
been confined for eight weeks for par
ticipating in the revolution.
The peace mission met with General
Madero in a small house just across
the river from the smelter and Gen
eral Madero repeated to them his
statement, earlier given to the Asso-
ciated Press, that he does not insist
upon the resignation Of President
Diaz as essential to negotiations for
peace. Thus the keystone of the arch
of opposition to end the revolution
dropped from its place.
General Madero said that all he
will insist upon, in addition to the re-
forms already instituted, is that the
people of Mexico shall have a square
deal, as provided in the constitution.
Members of the commission re-
turned to Ell Paso highly elated. The
details of their interview with the
rebel commander were not given out,
but it is known that many facts hith-
erto unknown to General Madero were
poured into his attentive ears. He
has, it is said, been in almost COM
plete ignorance of what was going on
in the outside world for more that a
month.
While every indication points to
peace tonight, there is, of course,
room for some unforeseen slip to occur.
There is no obstacle in sight at pres
ent, however.
Tomorrow it is expected a modus
operandi will be discussed and possibly

Mental Workers Exempt.

Olympia, Wash. - Only those who
perform manual labor come under the
provisions of the eight-hour law in so
far as it applies to the state of Wash
ington and all its legal sub-taxing dis
tricts, holds Assistant Attorney Gene
raj Lyle, in reply to query PROFOUND
ed by State Labor Commissioner Hub
bard. 1t does not apply to clerks, stem
ographers, or office help, or to guards,
watchmen, nurses, attendants or fore
men at the state Institutions, but
is for those whose occupations demand
physical rather than mental exertion.

Oregon System Adopted.

st. Paul = Governor Eberhard has
signed the Keefe bill, providing for
the nomination of United States SEN
ators by the direct vote of the people.
The measure provides that each candi-
date to the legislature shall take a
pedge to support the senatorial candi-
date receiving the popular indorse-
ment, or sign another pledge declaring
his unwillingness to do so. In 1912 a
senator is to be elected to succeed
Knute Nelson.

Washington Speaker Champ Clark
and other Democrats of the house of
Representatives who have taken inter
est in the Philippines were invited by
Commissioner Manuel L. Queson to
visit the islands as guests of the Fill
pinos. The invitations were extended
by direction of the Philippine assem-
bly,. A cablegram received by Mr..
Queson from Sergio Osmena, speaker
of the assembly, was as follows:
eff Speaker Clark and other con-
gressmen will come to the Philippines
we will not only show them that our
hospitality goes hand in hand with our
high aspirations for freedom, but will
give the American people an oppor-
tunity to learn the fitness of the Fill
pino for independence. In giving the
Filipinos their independence the Am
erican people will be complying with
the sacred duties they have assumed
before the world and the Philippines.
Such action will prompt the eternal
gratitude of the Filipinos toward Am
erica, in whose justice we still have
confidence. Invite them.

Woman Solves Difficult Problem.

Wellesley, Mass. Miss Clara E.
Smith, Phi. D., instructor in mathe-
MATES at Wellesley college. has been
notified that she has been elected as a
fellow to the American association for
the Advancement of Science. Miss
Smiths election came partly because
of her solution of problem in mathe-
matical science, a problem which has
perplexed mathematicians for nearly
a century. After several years of
hard work she discovered that Abel's
THEORIES could be used to do Bessel's
problems quicker and simpler.

BEAVER SLOUGH DRAINED.
Six Thousand Acres Along the Co
guile Redeemed at SlI Average.

Marshfield- big advanceent of the
agricultural interests of Coos bay has
been achieved in the completion of
two drainage districts in the Coquille
valley near Coquille, the county seat
One is the Beaver slough drainage
district and the other is the Fat Elk
district. In the two districts 1000
acres of land, formerly waste, has
been converted into some of the rich
est land in the county. In one case
the cost of drainage was $13.40 an
acre and in the oher SO. so an acre.
The land, for years regarded as no
good whatever, is now worth 800 an
acre, and will yield enormously any
thing in the way of grass, hay, oats,
potatoes, cabbages and other vegeta-
bles. The land was covered with
thick willows and marsh grass and
covered most of the year with water.
The brush is being cleared away and
by system of drainage bitches the
water has been removed so that the
land can be titled. With land held
for about 500 an acre, in order to
clear it and get it ready for the plow
the cost would be from $50 to $40 an
acre, and thus to make a home on the
land would cost about $3.50 an acre,
but in some crops the land will almost
pay for itself in one year. 1t is ex-
pected the drainage work will result
in settlement of much of this land.

MISSING LINK DISCOVERED.
Animal Filling Gap Between Bird and
Quadruped Imported.

New York What is perhaps the
long-sought missing link between
quadrupeds and birds has just been
brought here from Colombia.
Similar in general aspect to the re-
markable ornithorhynchus of Austral-
ia, which has bill like duck, al
though distinctively quadruped, the
creature is covered with growth al
most feather-like and brilliantly col
ored in red and green, shading to
white on the under parts.
1t is four-footed, looks something
like cross between a beaver and a
badger, and emits a plaintive note
when annoyed. 1t is about 20 inches
long and half as high.

which were coming up in court
which is now in session at that place.
The two negroes were sitting in
adjoining seats in the car when

from his pocket to the floor of the
car where 1t went off, the ball going
through the back Of the seat and
striking Mitchell in the back and kill
ing him almost instantly.
