Alderman Advances New Plan to Get Men Out to School Election. Tho offer of a good dinner to got .nut tho voters to school elections Is tho suggestion of Stnto Superintend ent Aldonunn In a circular lottor which ho has sent to tho school olll clnls. In Mnrshflold tho lust fow years, tho offer of a dinner has not been nocossnry to got out tho voters and It Is expected thnt It will hardly bo nocosBary this year. Tho election will bo hold at tho Central school building next Mondny ovoulng, tho polls remaining open from 7:30 to :30. Tho term of M. C. Hortou as direc tor expires and ho hns stntod that ho could not nccopt nnothor term al though tho patrons of tho school who liuvo appreciated his efforts In tholr advancement have urged him to do so. Ho hns united In tho movomont to liuvo A. II. Powers chosen. Mr. Poworu has stated thnt ho will servo If olocted. Whether thoro will bo any oppos ing caudldnto Is not known but nono has been nnnouncod. Tom Dennett who has been lending tho movomont tn have a director olectod who would appoint F. A. Golden superintendent lias not brought out any candidate against Mr, Powers although Mr. Powers stnnds unqualifiedly for tho reelection of Supt. Tledgou. Mr.. Dennett was also endeavoring to have n voto taken on superintendent nt tho tlmo of tho election but It Is under stood that this will not bo done. Ylcus of Alderman Tho following Is tho. circular lot tor which Stato Superintendent Al derman Is sending out to tho school officials: "Wo do not attach sufficient Im portance to our annual school meet ing. This your our annual mooting occurs Juno 17. On this day ono director and clerk nro to bo olocted in ovory school district In Oregon,, a matter of much Importnuco to each community. I should bo very glad, I Indeod, to find thnt many of tho Ore gon school districts woro making tho day of tho annual school meeting an Important occasion, and at tho sumo tlmo Inking ndvuntugo of being to-1 gotlior to talk over tho problems of tho schools. i Tho voting for director nnd clork will tnko pluco nt tho school Iioiibo.

If nil tho women I of tho community will pack tholr lunch baskets, and assomblo at tho' s( hool Iiouho on tho morning of Juno 17, I am confident thnt tho men will bo thoro also when tho sun reaches thq meridian. Of courso, tho mom-, bors of tho family under voting agoj will hnvo to havo dinner. So nil will i sprouii their lunches under somo plensnut shado, nnd enjoy dinner to-' gothor.

Let us mnko Juno 17 a rod Jettor dny In our district!" WASHINGTON. D. C, Juno 11. Hundreds of inquiries regarding tho 1 possibilities In tho United States of n great goat industry nro now renchlng the Department of Commorco nnd Labor. Thcso inquiries nro tho re sult of a recent statement by tho Du rtnu of Statistics of that department, that 250 million dollnrs had bcoii bent out of tho country In tho Inst dc 'cado to purchase goat skins for use I In this country, and that tho com mercial valuo of tho 500 million goats whlc.i theso skins represented would, had thoy been grown In tho United .States, havo approximated a bllllo.i 'dollars. Theso suggestions coupled , with tho further fact that goats of mo ciass supplying mo hkhw m '1 -T tlon could bo grown upon soml-nrld and Boml-mountnlnous lands In tho I United Stntes now practically unuti lized, hnvo added to tho Interest In dicated by the Inquiries now being mnuo. Tho stntoment of tho Durcau oi Statistics as to tho number nnd valuo of goat skins now bolng Imported, wns ronnled with extracts from a stntoment by tho United States Con I sul Cnnndn nt Vera Cruz, Mexico, originally published by tho Bureau of Manufacturers of tho Department of Commorco and Labor. In this rc- port Consul Cnnada says: "Goats I are raised In ovory stnto of tho llo- 1 public of Mexico. . . . Tho Indus- i trv Is largely confined to thu contrnl tnblo lonus inougu mo nm muls thrlvo ovorywhoro nnd enn bo raised nt n good profit ovor a wldor rango of territory than that on which cattle may bo successfully raised. Tho dry plalnB of Nuoro Loon, with sennt growth of brush, nro nblo to support largo Docks of goats, though thcso samo plains will not produco corn, enno or grass, unless water Is unnllcd for Irrigation. Tho extent of territory which could bo given to tho raising or goats, with out In nny way Intorforlng with ag riculture, Is very largo, vera uruz has tons of thousands of acres of laud so steep nnd rugged that Is can not bo farmed profitably, but thcso rugged mountain sides furnish Ideal feeding grounds for gonts. Tho valuo of tho goat doponds upon thrco things, meat, tallow and tho skin. Tho matter of fresh mout In tho farming districts of tho hot country Is greatly simplified by tho brooding of gonts. In smnll, Isolatod communities It Is risky to slaughter an ox or cow, as tho flesh Is llablo to spoil beforo It Is consumed. Tho small carcass of n goat innkes It en tirely practicable "to kill frequently without risk or Iobs. In tho Stato nt Tobu8co tho InhnbltantB nro nover nt n loss for fresh meat on plantations whoro gonts nro raised, nnd whoro formerly moat was almost unknown. . . . Tho flosh nlono would mnko It a profltnblo Industry, for tho car enss of each nulmnl will bring from $1 to $1.50. Fats of nil kinds nro high priced In nil parts of tho coun try. ... At two yonrB n fat goat will yiold C to 10 pounds of clour tal low, which will bo worth from 75c to ?1.50. . . . Tho most valuable part of tho goat Is tho skin, worth $1.25 to $1.50, nnd tho constant trend of prices Is upwnrd." (Thoso flguros of values aro presumably In Moxlcnn currency, In which tho doi lar Is equivalent to nbout ono-hnlf u dollnr In United States curroncy). Tho Consul adds that tho Incronso In tho number of goats Is very rapid, slnco thoy begin breeding nt from ti to 8 months of ngo, nnd breed twlco n yonr, bringing forth two nnd not Infrequently threo kids nt ench breed. Ing senson. A slnglo shephord It Is said will look nftor nt lonst loo goats. Ho nddo, "A caroful Invest ment of $1000 woll looked nftor can cortnlnly be counted upon to doublo Itsolf Insldo of two nnd ono-hnlf years, and to glvo at least a 50 per cont profit per annum from tho end of tho second year." Tho report of Consul Cnnada closes by presenting tho result of threo years' oxperlment In goat raising on n farm In tho Stato of Guorroro, Mexico, ns fol lows; "In 1904 tho manager of tho farm received GC.000 gonts, Including largo and smnll, nt u valuntlon of $1,50 ench, equnl to $99,000. From tho produro of these he sold, during nine months of 1904 nnd tho years 1905 nnd 1906, 50,000 head at $5 each, equal to $250,000, and nnd, at tho closo of 1900, 88,000 bend on tho farm, bolng 22,000 moro than bo started with. The- result was, count. Ing tho valuo of tho 22,000 Incronso nt $1.50 each with tho foregoing snlos, tho Investment of $99,000 pn.. duced In less than threo yoars $283, 000, besides the original stock of CO, 000 goats was intact."
