GOAT RAISER HAS
 HIGH BRED STOCK.
(Yyom Wednesday's Daily)

'Ooc" .Edmunson, regarded in goat raising circles as one of the best informed men in that industry while in the city yesterday stated that returns received from ship mcnt of mohair to an eastern firm, gave satisfactory returns, and in one instance was a surprise. He had a special consignment of the fleece from the prize winning nanny goat at the last territorial fair which brought the sum of $A. This animal attracted much admiration during the live stock exhibit, and was the one that had roamed the hills of the Peoples valley country for nearly two years, without being shorn. Its fleece measured twenty eight inches in length. and in order 10 prevent further loss of its fine fibre, it was deemed advisable to clip the /mohair and ship it to market in special crate.
 Mir. Edmunson states that he has twenty-five yearlings of the same high class breed that will give similar values in mohair returns and which also carry as heavy a growth as the prize winner He also received short time ago a highly commendable letter from the National Wool Growers Associa. ton at Boston. informing him that he unquestionably has the finest bred flocks in either Arizona or New Mexico. and this estimation is based on the fine texture of the fleece he sends 10 eastern markets every season. Mir. Edmunson is a prac ,ieal goat man. has devoted man, years to diligently studying th, business, and is now attaining fame

 FEARFUL CHILDREN.
tFrom Tbursaay's Daily)

Captain J F. Mahoney, who re- gently resigned the office of su- pcrintendcnt of the Arizona In- dustrial School at Benson, was in the city Tuesday mingling with old time friends and acquaintanoes. He is en route to join his wife at their Winslow home. Captain Mahoney served nearly seven consecutive years in that office, and his resig- nation was reluctantly accepted by Governor Hunt, notwithstanding that the former was of opposite political faith
 In reviewing his administration Captain Mahoney stated that the last hours with the boy and girl inmates was sad occasion. and the scene was pathetic in the ex- treme. as he took each by the hand and bade all an affcctionate fare well The eighiy-seven children were lined up in a row. and the same tender interest in their welfare was extended as was sacredly observed in the years that have gone in giving advice and extending aid to better their future.
 Captain Mahoney states that dur ing his incumbenoy of the office, not a boy or girl died, and ninety per cent of those discharged now grace society as upright and con scicntious men and women. or this condition, he feels duly proud. bu modestly discIaims any credit
 Its all in knowing how" he stated yesterday to a group of | friends in the lobby of the Sf.

To adjourn or not to adjourn is the question now confronting the busy legislators. Some say the present session will close this after noon; still other wise ones say the last word will not be spoken until tonight, while still others on the inside claim the session will last at least Until tomorrow morning Taking all these rumors and re- ports and counter reports and hang ing them out on the line for inspec- iion, the seeker after information arrives at but one fact and that is the legislature is still in session. When 1t will adjourn is surrounded by mystery as deep and impenctrable as that which clouds the identity of the thug who struck the lamented Billy Patterson. How old is Ann' Is easy as compared 10 When does the legislature adjourn!"

Porpora Choral society and directed
by Prof. Charles o. Blakeslee has been
working to master the difficult
Mendelssohn compositions which have
given Gel jah" recognition as one of
the choral masterpieces of the musi-
cal world. Originally set for presen-
tation December IL. it was necessary
to postpone the date until this month
because of illness on the part of some
of the soloists.
In the beginning it was believed
that it would be necessary to employ
talent from Portland or some other
outside po' mt for one or two of the
solo parts, but as progress was made
in the work. it was discovered that
Pendleton possessed an ample num-
Der of vocalists of sufficient ability to
undertake the ambitious oratorio en-
tirely with home talent.
Accordingly, the list of soloists as
completed. includes ]. E. Keefe, Jr.,

SNOW IN MOUNTAINS is
DEEP But NOT TROUBLESOME

La Grande. Oregon. January g.
Several feet of snow in the noun
tains is not retarding train service on
the ,O.-W. Trains from the east are
running on late schedules but this is
because of the enormous snowfall and
extreme cold weather prevailing in
Montana, Colorado and other noun
tain states. The rotary has not been
called out on the local syste myet,
and this is probably due to the fact
that the snow is well packed and does
not shift with the winds. No drifting
to speak of has transpired anywhere.
The detachable snow plows or flanges
on the branch line engines avert de-
lay and trouble and the same meth
cd is doing much to keep up train
service for ordinary snowfalls on the
main line systems.
