Brooks Secures Permanent Tenure for
Oklahoma Faculty.

Norman, Okla, June ;. - When
Stratton ID. Brooks, the new president
of the University of Oklahoma, for
merly superintendent of schools of
Boston. notified the faculty of that IN
stitution on May oath of tneir re-elec-
ton, he marked a great advance for
education in Oklahoma, for he al
nounced that the state board of educa-
ton had changed the tenure of office
for deans, directors, professors, az
sociate professors, and assistant pro-
fessors, from annual enure to perma-
nent tenure. The first move in this
direction was made by the board of
education in June, 1911, when they
announced that appointments to the
state institutions would be on the
civil service plan, and this resolution
was modified and put into effect by
the board on May 21, 1912, when it
adopted the recommendation of Pres
tdent Brooks to the effect that those
holding positions as stated above be
elected permanently to their positions,
subject to removal by the board for
cause on the recommendation of the
president of the university.
President Brooks left a six term Of
service at the head of Boston public
schools on May 1st and at once took
up the duties of president of the state
university of Oklahoma. He is rapid
ly aequainting himself with the de-
tails of his new position and the work
already accomplished shows conclu-
sively that Oklahoma university is in
charge of an able administrator.

This car was called on for consider

trips that it collected the horns which
form so conspicuous a decoration A

the collision which resulted, the steer
became beef Mr. Blumberg paid for
the steer and kept the horns. He in

MISSOURI OUTPUT
OF COAL
United States Geological Survey Be
ports s.7so,so7 Tons Produced in
1911. Valued at over Six Million
Dollars.


The final figures for the coal pro-
duetion Of Missouri in 1911, accord
ing to Edward w. Parker Just made
public by the United states GeoIogi-
cal Survey, show an output of 3,76O.-
COZ short tons, valued at $6,4S1,O66.
This is a notable gain over the pro
duction Of 1910, and if the banner
year, 1907, is excluded, it exceeds the
output of the state in any other year
since the beginning of coal mining a.
In 1910 coal-mining operations in
Missouri, as in the other states of the
Mississippi Valley region, were sus-
pended for a good part of the year on
account of labor troubles, resulting
in a decrease in output for Missouri
from 3,756,53O short tons in 1909 to
1882, ABB tons in 1910. IN 1911 the in
dustry was practically free from labor
disturbances and the output showed
an increase of 77S,174 tons, or 26.1
per cent The value increased ST.
102,7Sl, or 20.7 per cent. The average
price in 1911 was $1,71 short ton,
compared with $1.79 in 1910

Goals are restricted to comparatively
local territory, largely rural, and the
railroads. Illinois Goals are the prin-
cipal competitors in the east. The
coal industry in Missouri suffers alsb,
however, from competition with 20

The coal mines of Missouri in 191 q
gave employment to 1891 men, who'll
worked an average of 1873 days,
against 1861 men for an average old
154 days in 1910.

is equivalent to about one-half dollar
in United States currency.
The Consul adds that the increase in
the number of goats is very rapid,
since they begin breeding at from 6
to months of age, and bred twice a
year, bringing forth and not infre-
quently kids at each breeding sea-
son. A single shepherd it is said will
look after at least 1000 goats. He
adds: "A careful investment of 81 600
well looked after can certainly be
counted upo nto doubel itself in ~
years, and to give at least a so per
cent profit per annum from the end
of the second year" The report OF
Consul Canada closes by presenting
the result of a three years experiment
in goat raising on farm in the State
of Guerrero, Mexico, as follows:
IN 1904 the manager OF the farm
received $4,000 goats, including large
and small, at a valuation Of $1.50 each,
equal to $4,000. From the produce
of these he sold, during 9 months of
1904 and the years 1905 and 1906, So
900 head at So each, equal to $250,OO0,
and had, at the close of 1906, $4,000
head on the farm, being $4,000 more
than he started with. The result was,
counting the value of the $4,000 in
crease at $3.50 each with the forego>
! ing sales, the investment of 1000
produced in less than years $283(OO0,
besides the original stock of $4,000
goats was intact" (Figures in Mex
ican currency.)
The above facts as to the possibil-
tiles in the increase of the meat sup
| ply of the United States, while retain
ing at home the hundreds of millions
of dollars now sent abroad for the pur-
chase of goat skins, and producing this
supply of valuable material on lands
now practically unutilized, are cited
as the cause of the numerous inquiries
upon this subject now reaching the
Department of Commerce and Labor
The number of goats now produced in
the United States is small compared
with that of many other countries. The
latest figures in the Bureau of Statis-
tics show the number in the United
States in 1910 at about million; in
Mexico, 4H million; Turkey in Asia,
8 million; British South Africa, II
million; and British India, "a million.
The importation of goats skins into
the United States was in 1911 stated
in values, from India, nearly million
dollars worth from China. a little
over million dollars worth; from
Mexico, over 2 million dollars worth;
and from England, / million dollars
worth. For the current fiscal year,
ending with the present month, the
total value, of this article imported
will approximate "a million dollars,
the number of animals represented
by these importations being about 45
million.
The number of goats in the United
States according to the census of 1910,
increased about so per cent in the
last decade, a very large proportion
of the million enumerated by the
census of 1910 being in the southwest
ern states.

POSSIBILITIES OF
GOAT |NOUSTR|E

Hundreds of inquiries regarding the
possibilities in the United States of
a great goat industry are now reach
ing the Department of Commerce and
Labor. These inquiries are the result
of a recent statement by the~Bureau
of Statistics of that department, that
250 million dollars had been sent out
of the country in the last decade to
purchase goat skins for use in this
country, and that the commercial
value of the 500 million goats which
these skins represented would, had
they been grown in the United States,
have approximated billion dollars.
These suggestions coupled with the
further fact that goats of the class
supplying the skins in question could
mountainous lands in the United
States now practically unutilized, have
added to the interest indicated by the
inquiries now being made.
The statement of the Bureau of Sta
tistics as to the number and value of
goat skins now being imported, was
coupled with extracts from statement
by the United States consul Canada at
Vera Cruz, Mexico, originally publish
ed by the Bureau of Manufactures of
4ha naportn,ont of COmrnorca apd
Labor. In this report Consul Canada
says "Goats are raised in every
state of the Republic of Mexico. The
industry is largely confined to the
central table lands though the ami
mails thrive everywhere and can be
raised at a good profit over a wider
range Of territory than that on which
cattle may be successfully raised. The
dry plains of Nuevo Leon, with scant
growth of brush, are able to support
large fiocks of goats, though these
same plains will not produce corn,
cane or grass. unless water is supplied
for irrigation. The extent OF territory
which could be given to the raising
of goats, without in any way interfer-
ing with agriculture, is very large.
Vera Cruz has tens of thousands of
acres of land so steep and rugged that
it cannot be farmed profitably, but
these rugged mountain sides furnish
ideal feeding grounds for goats. The
value of the goat depends upon three
things, meat, tallow, and the skin.
The matter of fresh meat in the farm
ing districts of the hot country is
greatly simplified by the breeding of
goats. In small, isolated communities
1t is risky to slaughter an OK or cow,
as the flesh is liable to spoil before
it is consumed. The small carcass of
a goat makes it entirely practicable
to kill frequently without risk or loss.
In the state of Tobasco the inhabi-
tants are never at loss for fresh meat
on plantations where goats are raised,
and where formerly meat was almost
unknown. The fish alone would make
lit a profitable industry, for the car
cass of each animal will bring from
81 to $3.50. Fats of all kinds are high
priced in all parts of the country. At
two years a fat goat will yield 6 to 10
pounds of clear tallow, which will be
worth from 75c to $3.50 The most
valuable part of the goat is ibf skin.

One Strikebreaker Is Badly
Beaten by Women.

Scranton, Pa, May 10.-Cayuga
breaker of the Delaware, Lackawanna
& Western company in North Scran-
ton formed the background of a riot
Gus demonstration today.
Foreign workers were leaders
among the crowd of 1000 men and
boys that assembled near the breaker
to keep away men who were going
to do the necessary work. They were
wild in their outcries and defied the
squad of local police who an hour be-
fore had been hurried from every city
station on notice from the mine Off
cials that trouble was threatened. The
idle workers broke through the police
lines, rushed the fire rooms and
dragged out men, turning them over
to others, who beat them and threw
them aside.
State police on duty all night at
the Leggett Creek mine, a mile away,
hurried over, and their coming raj
lied the local police and together the
officers charged the mob. There were
shots from the rioters. Bricks, stones
and clubs were thrown and the Off
GERS drew their guns and began to
force the crowd back. Some shots
were fired by the police as Policeman
Peter Marker and Louis Davis fell
both with battered heads from cob
BILE stones. The state troops then rode
into the crowd, firing revolvers. Mike
Flacka and another foreigner dropped,
the former shot through the abdomen
and the latter in the leg. The crowd
then broke and ran and the police
combined to drive them on toward
the houses. Two men and a half
dozen women were arrested.
William Littlejohn, going to fire
duty at the Leggett Creek mine, was
badly beaten by the women.
