TO KILL LOG-EATING GOATS
Lumber Company Orders Herd Exc
cuted When It Gets Entirely
Too Ravenous.

Goats are perfect marvels in clear.
ing forest lands for cultivation. They
eat the brush down to the roots, take
the slash from lumber operations for
dessert. and prepare the forest for az.
riculture in way that no man can
do except at great expense. says the
Minneapolis Journal. In northern Min.
nesota the homesteader or settler who
has herd of goats is the envy of all
his neighbors. But when the goats
begin to eat saw1ogs their usefulness
has passed; they become menace to
society. This is the danger that con.
fronts northern Minnesota unless
proper precautions are taken.
In semiofficial report to w. T. Cox,
state forester, a district ranger tells
and interesting experience. Finding
that it was somewhat expensive to
burn the slash" and to carry out the
orders for forest fire prevention the
company decided to obtain a band Of
goats to do the work.
The goats did we'll. They ate all the
brush, all the slash, the grass and
the shrubbery. The lumber company
was pleased.
But when the grass and shrubbery,
brush and slash were exhausted the
goats tackled the pulpwood and the
logs. Directors of the company de.
creed that the goats be slaughtered.
This will teach lumber companies
not to cut their timber too SMALL" was

That is a phase of the situation arm,
officers here do not discuss.
Killed $50 Bandits
The net results of the three weeks
campaign against Villa is the killing
Of few more than $50 of Villas
men and the extension of the line Of
American troops approximately 4OC
miles into Mexico. Villas organiZa
ton remains intact SO far as army
officers here know. General Perish
ing's frequent reports from head
quarters throughout the week indi
Gates the optimism of himself and Of
fcers that they would soon overtake
Villa and his force Instead of an
ticipating an early withdrawal Of the
troops. General Funston has planned
to stimulate the chase in every way
possible and has daily watched for
advices from Washington that Car
rama at last had made it possible TO
use without restriction at least one
railroad extending south from Juarez.
Failure TO get this right caused Cen
eral Funston to consider seriously
the establishment of a new base on
the border, nearer the fields of Oper-
ations, perhaps Ojanaga. and from
there running south with line Of
communication.
Movements in Dark
Little is known of what was trans
piring south of Chihuahua, at General
Funston's headquarters today. but no
uneasiness was displayed and in
creased confidence was manifested.
If the thousands of men Carranza
claims to have scattered through the
territory in front Of Villa can check
him in his flight to the south, Cen
eral Pershing's troops, it was be-
lieved here, might do their part to
bring him TO capture. General Perish
ing was reported to have left his tenn
porary quarters on the San Geron-
mo ranch and gone south toward
Satevo, south of which the greater
part of the 10Th Cavalry is operating.

quarters were greatly interested to-

A system Of water works and sew
erage has recently been put in by
the town at a cost of 100000. for
which bonds were issued.
The location is one of the
healthiest to be found anywhere,
as is shown by vital statistics kept
by the local health officer.
A man can work out of doors
here any and every day in the
year. Prostrations from heat
never occur. The climate here is
ideal the year round.
Flowing artesian wells may be
obtained here at varying depths,
and a number of them are now
in use in and about town, some for
irrigation and others for supply
ing drinking water, etc. The
water from these artesian wells
contains mineral properties and is
said to posses medicinal value,
some citizens c'aiming to have
been cured of various ailments by
drinking it freely. The town
owns four of these wells.
Our people are from various
states and countries and are very
liberal and tolerant in their views
and opinions. They are hospi-
table to respectable strangers,
generous to their neighbors, to the
poor and needy, progressive and
enterprising to the extent of their
financial ability, lawNabiding and
united for the common welfare
of their community. No kinder,
better people are to be found any
where.
There are but few dwellings or
cottages for rent, but those that
are renting bring from $1,000 up
per month.
Opportunities for amusement
and recreation are varied and a
bundant; the finest fishing in thel
world is offered; there's boating
bathing and other outdoor sport,
that may be had.
In conclusion, whatever you,
object may be,whether business o
! pleasure, investment or recrea
ton, health or happiness of an,
kind, it will be to your interest t.

: dial welcome awaits all good PEG

OLD CRIMINAL LAW.
Whsn Prisoners Counsel Was Not Al
lowed TO Address the Jury.


lowed TO Address the Jury.
1t seems hardly credible that only
a century ago counsel were not al
lowed to address a jury in defense
of a prisoner. Sydney Smith first
preached against this cruel law.
He pointed out that, while in any
court where property was concern
ed counsel was heard on both sides,
in a court where human life was
trembling in the balance only the
prosecuting counsel was heard, and
1t was unfair to match a prisoner,
unaccustomed to marshal facts and
unable to speak, against skilled
counsel, whose sole purpose for its
own reputation was to win a case.
Sydney Smiths eloquent words led
to the passing of the prisoners de-
tense act, 1920, which altered the
practice.
Another unjust practice which
was peculiar to the Old Bailey was
that when an accused person was
acquitted he was obliged to pay the
fees of Newgate or 60 back for
want of money. So many unfor-
tunate prisoners died in Newgate
through this that Alderman Brown,
lord mayor in 1888, caused an or
der of the court to be made that
when any accused persons were ac-
quilted by their country they
should instantly be discharged in
court without paying any fees what
soevcr, an order which has beer
strictly adhered to ever since.
OF the challenging of juries one
remembers a tale from Ireland
The prisoner was hard to satisfy
and juryman after juryman was
asked to leave the box. However
all things come to an end, even in
Ireland, and at last the swearing
of the jury was completed. And
then the prisoner leaned over the
dock and sought the ear of his sole,
itor. "The jury's all right now, !
think" he whispered, "but ye must
challenge the Judge. I've been con-
victed under him siviral times al
ready, and maybe he's beginnin' to
have a prejudice. London Chron-
icle.

KNOTT THE NOMINEE

The Knott-Catts contest for the
gubernatorial nomination, which
began in the supreme court last
week, apparently ended Tuesday
afternoon, when the court ordered
peremptory writ to issue COM
handing the state canvassing
board to reconvene and recanvass
the amended returns sent up from
several counties. This will result
in giving Mr.. Knott the nOmina-
ton by a majority of twenty-fOur
votes. BY his request, the amend
ed returns from Madison county
were eliminated, as he said he did
not wish the benefit of any ballots
that may be tainted by fraud.
The hearing in the court at
tracted large number of people
and aroused great interest
throughout the state. About q
hundred witnesses were summon.
ed to testify concerning the
charges of fraud having been
made in some of the counties Sc,
cured by Mr.. Knott, but only in
the case of Madison county was
there any reasonable evidence OF
fraud.
Had there been complete, hon
est and correct recount of all the
ballots cast on June 9th for gov
ernor in every precinct of the
state, we fully believe that Mr.
Knott would have had a majority
of several hundred.
