Clip Is Valuable.

OF the goat clip the chief product
is mohair cloth, but it is made TO enter
extensively into wool fabrics and other
clothes Of various sorts.
What was most surprising in the
Investigation was development OF the
fact that the goat industry of Utah
had attained a scale so extensive as
that shown. A few years ago there
was n movement started TO develop
this industry, and several stockmen
engaged in the business Of importing
good breeds OF goats for distribution
in Utah. That the result has been
gratifying from an economical point
OF view, is apparent from the figures
presented herein. Before the move
meDt indicated was started about five
wears ago, there were comparatively
few goats IN Utah. but at the present
time the industry has grown TO pro.
portions that bring IL into a place OF
prominence in the states development.
BY reason OF the fact that the goat

COMMENCEMENT CONCERT.

In the efforts of the various de-
partments to make the celebration OF
the twentieth-ffth anniversary of the
founding of Alma college an occasion
that will never be forgotten, the
School of Music has been far from
idle. In contemplation OF this event,
it was long ago decided that for once
the patrons of good music in Alma
should have a grand concert, con-
cert which should go down as a
musical achievement of the institu-
ton, a concert at which the students
and residents of the city should have
an opportunity of hearing the choicest
and best music rendered by the most
finished artists procurable. The time
for the concert is near at hand and
it is with congratulations to them
selves and to the people of Alma as
we'll that the Music Department an
nounce the appearance of the Detroit
String Quartette and Miss Dora Alex

pleasure OF listening to and as this

ton Of the country, music-lovers
should not fail to make the most of
this occasion. College students of
recent years will all remember the
wonderfully pleasing appearance of
Miss Dora Alexander, who graduated
from the Music department in 1909,
and has since been studying at the
Royal Conservatory in Dresden. At
her recital, given at the Palm Garden
upon her completion of the course,
she was forced to respond to repeat
ed encores, an unusual honor seldom
accorded to American girls by the
conservative German people. She

BOUND OVER TO THE CIRCUIT
COURT.

The young men who were arrested
last week, charged with the taking
and using of L. N. Sweets automo-
bile, had their preliminary examina-
ton before Justice f. N. Chadwick
last Friday morning. The original
case against Stanley Langin, Ralph
Fairchlds, Alfred Rhodes, Forest
Laupaugh and Chris. Downs, was dis
missed upon motion by Prosecuting
Attorney Charles Goggin. They were
Immediately re-arersted under another
warrant charging them with the
same offense. Attorneys Kress and
Durham appeared for the defendants
and waived the right of examination.
Justice Chadwick bound the young
men over to the September term of
Circuit court under $500 bonds apiece
All of the young men gave bonds for
their appearance After considering
the matter Forest Laupaugh with
drew his waving of an examination.
He will be given a separate hearing
on June 18th. There was a large
crowd present at the hearing. The
court room was nearly filled. many
of the men coming from outside the
city. There is considerable interest
in the case and it is probable that
the young men will put up consider
able of fight before the matter is
closed.

ROKE INTO
MERRILL SALOON.

A young man by the name of
frank Purdy was picked up Thurs
day afternoon by Marshal John
Wright on the suspicion that Purdy
had broken into and robbed the J
F. Straton saloon at Merrill the night
before. Marshal Wrights suspicious
were we'll founded as the young man
finally confessed to his part in the
affair 1t seems that young Purdy
in company with another fellow who,
he says, was mere boy, had hoboed
their way down to Merrill the night
efore. After breaking a side window
and failing to gain admittance they
picked the lock in the front door.
They obtained a dollar in change,
several quarts of liquor, four boxes
of cigars and an old gun. Part of
the goods were found upon Purdy.
According to Purdy's story, his
partner is a young fellow who lives
in a little town up the Ann Arbor
road. 1t is supposed that he had the
rest of the stolen property the Of
fcers failed to find upon Purdy.
The officers here telephoned to
Merrill and Cornelius Rowland, "a
deputy sheriff living at Merrill, and
one of the proprietors of the Straton
saloon came up on the evening
train from Merrill with the deputy
sheriff. The goods were identified
and young Purdy was taken to Mer-
rill on the next train east. He will
be taken to Saginaw as soon as it is
possible to get through where he
will be arraigned.
According to a young man who
gave ,fficer Wright the tip that
Purdy was implicated in the robbery
ung Purdy knows a whole LOT
about other robberies that have been
committed in this part of the state
Purdy claims his home is in Clare
and that lie has been out looking fol
work for a number of weeks. When
Purdy and his partner were return
ing from Merrill Friday they stole
their dinners from couple of dinner
pals belonging to members of the
section crew. Purdy also picked UP
a rubber coat.

me RAIN Of LAS1WEEK

Alma was in bad plight from early
Tuesday morning until today as re-
suit of the heavy rainfall of the past
weeks and the deluge of Monday
night When the residents awoke
Tuesday morning many of them found
it impossible to get out of their
homes as their yards were flooded
with water from two to four feet
deep. The easements of many houses
and stores in the city had water in
them
The storm OF Monday night was
one of the most terrific in the his
tory of this city. For days it had
been raining and now and then there
was slight electric storm, but Mon
day night the heavens let loose. All
night there were fierce flashes of
lightning, while the thunder showed
that the lightning was striking in the
immediate community. The water
fell continually and at times the fall
approached a cloud-burst.
The river was unable to carry of
the great amount of water which
backed UP in the drains and flooded
the lower parts of the city. A great
deal of damage was done. The Alma
Grain & Lumber Co., and The Alma
Elevator Co., suffered the greatest
losses. The boiler rooms of the
Grain & Lumber Co., had couple OF
feet of water in them and as re-
suit the company had to shut off all
the engines. The river rose to such
height that the water wheel was
available for power only part of the
time. AS a result, the city was with
out lights and fire protection.
The mill race overlooked its banks
in many places. 1t flowed into the
lumber yards of the Alma Grain &
Lumber Company, carrying away a
couple of hundred cords of good hard
wood. Employees of the company

1t has been suggested to the Record
that the owners of automobiles in the
city tender the use of their cars May
30th, for sufficient time to convey the
veterans to the cemetery and back at
the time of the Memorial Day parade
We believe when those OF our citi-
zens fortunate enough to own autos
have their attention called to the fact
that the old soldiers would appreciate
the courtesy that plenty of cars will
be offered. Old age will prevent
many of the heroes of the civil war
from attending these exercises unless
some means of easy transportation are
provided. The Record will be pleased
to publish list of those who will
furnish the use of their cars for the
above purpose. Or those willing to
so assist the old veterans notify City
