NORTH BEND, Ore. :: :': t V ? a :': i :: t A :: t V i They Eat Up the Mountain Forests: and Cause Floods, The wild goat of Hawaii in recent: years became a serious menaco to ag riculture In various parts of the ter rltory. Secure among the almost In accessible cliffs of the mountains,., thousands of these nimble animalso und a congenial home, and, although no systematic efforts have as yet beem inaugurated for exterminating them,, they are nevertheless extremely wiry and difficult to approach. 'California and Australia have badl their scourges of rabbits, and various western states still have their trou bles in combating prairie dogs and?.' gophers, but these pests Injure the ag riculturist directly by attacking hiss growing crops, while, on tho other bund,, the goats of Hawaii do tho same thing: indirectly by ruining the mountain foiv ests, which conserve the rainfall oi.i which the water for irrigation pur poses is dependent. This was not for a long time nppreclnjed. but of later years, with tho rapid Increase In the. number of goats, It has become very; apparent. In some sections of the." mountain districts, once heavily wood ed, there Is now scarcely any vegeta tion at all. duo solely to tho destruc tive feeding of the goats. Goat hunting Is a popular diversion In some parts of the territory and as r sport is by no means to be despised Although the nnlmals are numerous. It requires some hard tramping and: climbing to get to their haunts. nr.tK then a true aim and good eye for dis tance In order to have much success Occasional ly parties are organized ancE a week or more spent In goat shooting., with the result that sometimes several! hundred are slaughtered. Were It not for the injurious characteristics of tho; llttle animals the slaughter would seems wanton In the extreme, for no Value It placed on the carcass, and It la usually left where It falls. Indeed, the charac ter of tho mountains would often mako it difficult to secure the quarry after it is shot, and it is only in case of ant- especially largo animal, which the hunter may desire to secure as a tro phy, that any attempt Is ever made to recover the body. The fact that there seems to be no market for the skins prevents thclr belng hunted for any other purpose than tho sport or In order to rcducc thelr numbers where they have be come especially troublesome. Could some use be found for the skins, there Is no doubt that a great number could' bo secured at little cost. The goats--arc of tho common, back yard, tin can eating variety transplanted hero years: ago, and, finding the conditions espe cially congenial, they havo increased very rapidly after breaking away fronu tho dominion of man. Forest andl Stream. Photographing the Stomach. An Improved apparatus has been made by Dr. Fritz Lang of Munlcli by which tho Inside of the stoinaeln can be clearly photographed. Thee camera is actually swallowed by ther patlent, and when It reaches tho stom ach tho walls thereof can be Illuminat ed by a small electric lamp attached: to the apparatus. At tho bottom of the camera is wound a photographic film twenty Inches long and a qunrtci of an Inch wide. All tho surgeon hasn to do Is to pull a cord and thus: rum tho film past tho It...s. The etectrlb light Is then turned on, nnd after tKca sensitive film has been Impressed Willi tho linage tho current Is turned off and another section of the film Is brought Into play until tho requisite number of pictures has been obtained. Court Clerk's Big Fees; Tho Chicago Bar association has de 'larcd war on tho feo system of pay ing clerks In the supreme and appellate courts. So largo have the emoluments--of theso offices become, reports say,, that it Is not unusual for somo of the clerks to receive in a year from two to four times as much as tho salary of a judge. Tho Record-Herald shows that the clerk of tho supremo court nets from $25,000 to $50,000 a yeaiy. while in tho appellato court tho fees' run up to $30,000. 'Tho Bar associa tion demands that the offices be placed.' on a salary basis nnd suggests that: $0,000 a year Is quite enough to tempti good men to take tho places. Oh, "Wliat Joy! "Cured at last!

A man In Berlin who paid $1.75 foc a ticket to hear Mile.

Tho managers laughed at the man and pointed to a conspicuous; placard hung in the lobby announcing? that the star was 111 and would not. appear that ovening. Appeal to tha highest courts was made, and now the theater managers havo been ordered! to refund the prico of tho ticket and! pay the costs of tho suit To Banish Insomnia.
