Electric Ranges Water Bureau Furnishes Pic I ture of System. INTERESTING FACTS TOLD : L Total Storage Capacity of Tanks Built by Portland Declared ; 193,444,000 Gallons. 1 dt.tu.iled survey of the water attributing system of Portland, com piled for the City club by x. ja.

W OATS are a much-maligned race; I reputed to exist on tin cans and -A waste paper, they also have been given a bad character for fero ciousness. Synonymous-to the noun, goat. Is the general acceptance of the verb butt. J. B. Clark of 1100 Henry street denies In toto all of these in sinuations. He should know, for he has a goat herd, one of the few In this vicinity, and his charges are as friendly as any family pets could be. Indeed, one of the noticeable traits of his goats are their overtures of friendship with visitors and their be trayal of their pacific Intentions by means of' their wagging of doglike tails. Clark calls his charges "poor man's cows." He says every family should have a goat, for the milk to be gotten. as they are inexpensive to keep and would be a great factor In reducing living costs as well as promoting health. The herd he tends are the property of Ferdinand H. Dletzel and their milk Is sold in bottles, being delivered over a regular route. Just as the lacteal fluid of the cow In Portland. Some of his milch goats have yielded as high as two gallons on 24-hour tests. Goats' milk Is In great demand for Infants and Invalids, especially those . suffering from Indigestion. Goats' milk Is said to contain aa much nutri ment as cows' milk with the added benefit of rapid digestion, the claim being that the stomach handles It in one-fifth the time required to digest cows' milk. The Dletzel farm Is run for milk only, and the autocrat of the herd is Odor, a huge male goat of fierce de meanor. Goats are like sheep in many respects, for the herd follow blindly where their belled leader goes. Glands are not listed as products of this farm. Hi FRIENDLY GOATS WITH WAGGING TAILS.

Ten thousand barrels of apples are to be shipped from the Pacific north west In barrels this year as the result of the entry into this field of an east ern concern, the Price-Smith-Willman company of St. Joseph, Mo. This will be the first time that apples have been shipped) from the northwest in barrels and will be the first time that other than the first-class apples have been sent east of the Rocky moun tains from this section. The plan for shipping large quan tities of the No. 2 and No. 3 apples, which are good In quality, although small in size. Is due to the demand in eastern markets this year for the northwest fruit.
