ana were refused because they could

that requirement as unnecessary for

HZ mean no harm to these boys.
.... I commend them for their desire for
action at the front, but every man
in the company is Just as anxious for
Immediate action. I am holding the
company in readiness for muster and
service when called for and wherever
sent. In keeping my organization in
.. tact. I am only following orders and
performing my duty. It is not In
tended that these men shall be court
martialed, but I am required to ac-
. ... count for them on my rolls and can
- - not do it in any other way."
In one paragraph of his letter, Lleu-
tenant Blackburn says:
"Much to my indignation and disgust
it is learned that Arthur Lofts is post
ed as a deserter from the local Na
tional Guard company, at this time in
the Nation's history when our greatest
and foremost need. overshadowing
every other need, is young men patrl
. : otic enough and physically and men
tally qualified to serve in the Navy,
which, for the present at least, will
bear the brunt of the fighting with
the enemy.
"Xme on First Roll of Honor."
"I therefore appeal for the good name
of Hood River and the citizens of Ore
gon to take such steps as may be nec
essary to remove from Arthur Lofts'
record the false and vicious designa
tion of 'deserter.' Arthur Lofts' name
belongs on the first roll of honor of
Hood River and Oregon: whether pr not
broad-minded citizens succeed in over
ruling unpatriotic, and vicious slander,
Arthur Lofts will doubtless achieve a
record in the first line of defense that
will shame the perpetrators of the
slander." -
A petition, signed by a large number
- of local citizens.. was sent yesterday to
the Adjutant-General, asking him to re
move the stigma of desertion from the
name of the local boys. A similar pe
tition has been circulated by the mem
bers of the local Girls' Honor Guard.
Members of the local company have
signed a petition asking that the stig
ma be removed by having the boys re
; turned here.
The last-named proposal received
general criticism, and it is declared
. that a monster ovation will be given
the boys if they are made to leave the
Navy.
"Without having received Captain
' "Wilbur's report." said George A. White,
Adjutant-General of the Oregon Na
tional Guard, last night, "I am not in
position to comment upon the case.
"No copy of any letter from Lieuten
ant-Commander Blackburn criticising
Captain Wilbur has been received by
. me, and I cannot believe he has made
such statements.
"Captain Wilbur is high-minded
and earnest officer, who has the best
interests of his organization at heart.
I feel certain that there is a misun
derstanding of the Captain's attitude
and actions."

J. S. HARRIS, 80, DIES
Career of Salem Man Has
Tincture of Kipling.
TRIP THROUGH ASIA TAKEN
Father of Angora Goat Industry
Penetrated Strange Land in 1875
and Imported the First Speci
mens to United States.
SALEM. Or.. May 12. (Special.)
John Sherrar Harris, 80 years old, died
at his home In Sa'em this morning.
The history of Mr. Harris reads like
a page from a Kipling story of India.
The second person to go into the in
terior of Asia Minor from the United
States in quest of Angora goats, he
might be called the father of that In
dustry in this country, and he had an
international reputation as a goat
breeder.
Mr. Harris was born in Ayrshire.
Scotland, December 22. 1S36. In May,
laax. lie was married in California to
Josephine Payne, and lived in Salem
since 18fi, coming to this cltv from
uaKiey. Idaho.
It Was ADrll 18. 1875. tht Ml- Hnr.
ris started his memorable lournev.
which was the real start of the goat
industry, wnicn has now spread to
many sections of the ITnlteri Kioto.
He left Holllster, Cal.. and traveled
via Yokahoma. Honckonsr. Slnnnnn
and Calcutta, hoping to reach Tibet,
then the great unknown country f
the Mongols.
My Obstacles Overcome.
His sole object was to cot nmo of
the famous Cashmere goats for his
California farm. It waa his Durnose.
ifter landing In China, to proceed over
and. This, however, he found In ba
impracticable, and. going to Calcutta.
he went through to the Cashmere dis
trict to inspect the famous goats of
that country. The home of the Cash
mere goat, he found, is in the Hlmalava
Mountains. 22,000 feet above sea level,
and in a region of eternal snows.
Realizing that- tnese goats could not
be acclimated in California, he con
cluded, to go to Angora, in Asia Minor,
but could not proceed overland on ac
count of the war conditions that then
prevailed, nor by way of the Persian
Gulf because of the unsettled condi
tions in that country.
He, therefore, returned to Calcutta
and by way of Ceylon, the Indian
cean. Red Sea and Suez Canal to Port
Said, over the Taurus Mountains he
proceeded, to the end of his quest. He
was 21 days in crossing the moun
tains and suffered severely from the
intense cold, and was provisioned -with
nothing but black bread and molasses,
but he arrived in Angora safely and
purchased two bucks and 10 does.
With these he started for the coast.
his goats slung In noxes on donkeys
and mules, which had been taken along
to carry provender and baggage. He
endeavored to reach Smyrna, but after
foundering in the mountains for sev
eral.days he was compelled to return
to Angora, and thence he turned north
to Ishmid. where he toolc & train ror
Constantinople.
Cost of Goals B323 Each.
Returning to America via Liverpool,
where his goats attracted much atten
tion, he landed in Baltimore March Z3
1876. The goats were yearlings and
cost the importers $625 each, landed at
Baltimore. Israel S. Diehl was the first
person from the United States who
ventured into the interior of Asia Minor
to obtain goats, but to Mr. Harris has
gone the credit of being the actual im
porter of the animals which started
the industry that has reached such
magnitude in Oregon.
The details of Mr. Harris perilous
rip after the goats are well verified
by consular dispatches of representa
tives of the British government. Eng-
ish officers lending him hearty aid in
his trip through India to the valley of
he Cashmere, and on his later journey
to Angora.
Mr. Harris retired from goat breed
ing before coming to Salem in 1S91. He
was a charter member of Acacia Lodge
No. 14, Ancient Free and Accepted Ma
sons, Albion. Idaho.
He is survived by two children. Mrs.
Minnie Graber, of Salem, and Mrs. Jo
sephine Barr, of Astoria. A son was
rowned in the Willamette River in
902.
The funeral will be held Monday
o'clock, with Interment in City View
Cemetery, Salem.
The Only Thing to Fear
s Fear
We refuse to be perturbed by the alarmists, the pessimists and
by the timid who see things at night.
As prophets in the past they have a batting average of about
.001. The only times they have hit the truth is when they them
selves created the conditions they feared by fearing them.
' Our slogan during these earnest times is
"Keep Business Going 9
We shall retrench in nothing, cancel nothing, fear nothing.
Our faith in the existing and eternal prosperity of the United1
States of America is immovable.
Music in these times of stress is even more of a spiritual neces
sity and Jess of a material luxury than it usually is. We shall,
continue with enthusiasm to sell those instruments by which the
solace, the inspiration and the stimulation of music are opened
alike to the richest and the most humble.
We believe that this is the very time of all times' that you
should buy what you want whether it be in our line or in any
other.
The only way to stop jour business is to stop the other fellow's.
The only thing to fear is fear.

BAKER. Or.. May 12. (Special.)
That the passsfre of the f8.000.000 road
bonding measure Is the duty of Oregon
toward the Goverment in the general
campaign for preparedness, was the
statement of E. J. Adams, member of
the State Highway Commission, who.
with .Senator Julian Hurley, of Mai
heur County, spoke at the road meet
ing held at the County Courthouse this
afternoon.
Mr. Adam contended that the United
States Government is endeavoring to
procure the construction of passable
highways in Oregon, Washington and
Idaho in order to facilitate the trans
portation of food and men, and that
it is far better that the people should
furnish their share of the expense now,
at the June election, than to wait until
later, and then have it furnished at a
special session of the Legislature.
"Undoubtedly, the first roads to be
improved as military highways will be
those that came under the provisions of
the bill." said Mr. Adams.
Among other advantages cited by
Mr. Adams were that the bill could
save a great deal to farmers who use
the roads and as a result to the users
of their products and that it might be
found possible to use war prisoners for
construction.
