CATTLE. RAISING
IN THE MOUNTAINS
Things That Are Coming to Pass
in and About Blowing
Rock Region.
by JAMES 4. ROnINsON.

The beautiful Blowing Rock section
OF North Carolinn--embrac the
mountain Counties OF Caldwell Watnu-
ga ond Ashe--is not only destined to
become the greatest resort in the
State for the lovers OF natural seen
cry. but its lovely mountains are
wrapped around with the greatest pos
sibilitics for being tho greatest cattle
raising section In the Old North State.
Its only drawback now is tho lack
OF railway facilities But they are
coming. y railroad is now being built
from Abingdon. Va. which Will come
across the state line, through the
North Carolina Counties of Asha and
Watauga TO Boone. the county seat of
the latter county.
This Blowing Rock section is natur-
ally grass country. where the grass
is given half Il chance. Some OF the
farmers UP there have become awake
10 this idea. and have already begun
10 profit by the great opportunities
afforded them. The mountain sides are
as FERTILE as garden: and tho bot
toms yield an abundant growth that
is astonishing. Some of the finest cat
tie raised in the State Is yearly raised
in these mountains. The beefsteak
there is unequaled.
IT Is no trouble TO grow the finest
cattle around Blowing Rock and
Boone. The present mode OF tho
mountain farmer is to clear out the
underground on mountain side, or
cove. deaden tho trees by ringing the
bark, In order that the land may catch
the twigs. the decaying limbs. and
finally the tree Itself, rs it crumblcs

comes on the soil. when you get the
bushes and shade out OF the way You
seldom see any washed land in chat

mountain sides. They turn their cat

through practically every civil district.
In the Virginia counties the work has
been accomplished almost altogether
by districts. Bond issues are usually
voted by county districts IN Virginia,
and the money used as the supervisors
of each district may deem best In
Tennessee the process Is different. One
commission has entire charge of the
work covering the county. and the
County Court. which Is composed of
the magistrates of the several civil
districts. determines how the money
Is TO be spent, and authorizes n plan
OF construction with view to giving
each section OF the county its portion
OF the benefits.
Perhaps there is no one agency that
has done more to stimulate tho good
roads spirit throughout Tennessee as
the project TO build II trans State high
way from Bristol TO Memphis. II IS
believed that the building Of the Bris

similar effect upon the counties Of

half a dozen Hawaiian girls, most of
these under fourteen years Of age,
are promised the next grand jury by
Judge Kingsbury; who heard the con-
fessions last week of two of the girls,
who were arrested on a charge, Of
stealing $40 from a Japanese.
In the judges chambers, it is said.
these girls, little more than mere
children, coolly told a long story of
vice in which they incriminated the
best-known men of the Waikiki dis
trict and related tales of orgies and
low debauchery almost unbelievable.
automobile rides and beach parties.
The younger narrated story OF a
motor car ride to Paia' in company
with a man from another island, dur
ing which she said she was assaulted.
They said that one of their girl
friends had been compellGH by her
mother to submit to Chinaman.
One said she had been forced by her
mother to sell herself, the parent TAX
ing all the money she received.
The deputy county attorney has
been investigating the affair and is
quoted as saying he Will make several
arrests within the next few days. The
Chinaman whose name is linked with
that of one of the girls is already in
Jail. Sensational developments are
anticipated following the submission
of the facts to the grand jury.

Private detectives and attorneys

Too Much Temperament
The same temperamental impulstVe-
