Angora Goat Raising.
Editor Leader;
I saw in the Leader some time
ago an able article in regard to the
resources of Lincoln county, but to
my mind it left out one that is
worth, at the present time, all the
rest combined, and that is the goat
industry. I admit, Mr. Editor,
that the resources of the whole
country are limited at the present
time, but why not engage first in
that which will be most remunera
tive. While range was abundant
in Eastern Oregon sheep was good
property, and to my mind goals aie
as profitable here as sheep were
there, because there is as abundant
for goats here as it was for sheep
there. The most important ques
tion about goats is, "do they pay?''
To this I would answer yes. Hav
ing handled them for thirteen years,
part of the time ill the valley along
with sheep, with which I was fair
ly successful, I found ; them much
more profitable, both in dollars and
cents aud in economy in feed and
labor; and here in the mountains
more so because of the better range.
But they are like sheepj the better
the quality the more profit. Now
to illustrate: One flock of 30 head
of goats sheared 28 pounds, which
cost ten cents per head to shear and
the hairI will not say mohair
sold for ten cents per pound. At
the same time good mohair was
selling for forty cents per pound.
I have had my goats here four
years and the best clip for the whole
flock was 5 lbs. per head, which
was graded into two classes and af
ter paying all freights and commis
sions brought u:e 30 and' 3;) ctts
per pound. As long as mohair has
to be imported the domestic mohair
will be in demand. The only both
er seems to be in the better fencing
required. I admit that a little
brush will not turn goats, yet if the
fence is so they cannot climb it a
verv FT"n11 fence will turn thcr.
Their mutton is such that the butch
ers say that it would be an easy
matter tor them to build up a de
mand for it, but the supply is not
sufficient to keep it up. But there
is always plenty of demand among
your neighbors for all you can raise,
and for cleaning up brush land, I
don't see how we can dispense with
them in these mountains.

The Lincoln-Benton Tax Matter
As was stated in last week's
Leader, the joint segregating 1:0m
mittee have agreed upon a basis of
a settlement in the disputed tax
question between the two counties
The following schedule, which we
reproduce this week, will show ful
ly the standing of the two counties
as far as the 1893 tax is concerned:

4,981.01
Balance due Benton county
. on slate tax,.,,., g C0,'J2
It will be seen by the above that
Lincoln county is the loser by $60
as far as actual collections of taxes
are concerned, To offset this how'
ever, Lincoln county gets the taxes
ou $58,612 valuation not given on
the original roll. This amounts to
$1,289.46, and is for the most part
on parties that are ready and wil
ling to pay the tax as soon an the
controversy is bettled. A good
share of this tax is on mortgages
held by companies who will now
promptly pay it. In addition to
this Lincoln county will get, 'with-
out further contention, all the de -
linqueut taxes on property in this
county set over to her. large
part of this tax is good and collect
able. There is $9,000 or more of
this delinquent tax due from the
railroad. While this money may
be a long time coming, yet it is sure
to come, and with the brightening
of road's prospects the time may not
be far distant when the county will
' get the railroad tax in full. What
j the county has gained in the matter
of settlement may be summed up as
follows: About $1,200 in good tax
es, which will probably be paid at
an early date; several thousand dol
lars in delinquent taxes, a large
part of which are good; a complete
settlement of all tax matters be
tween the two counties; a cessation
of all litigation between the two
counties, which in itself would soon
absorb more than was involved;
and last, but not least, a better feel
ing will be created between the two
counties. While we, in common
with many of our people, had been
led to believe that Lincoln county
would be several thousand dollars
yet we feel gratified that an amic
able settlemedt has been reached
and the matter finally adjusted.
Pioneer Pointers.
We made one of our periodical
trips to rioneer last Saturday, go
ing up with Senator Dolph and
party. (We had to pay the con
ductor four cents a mile for the
privilege.) We found things at
the quarry proceeding in the UsUul
busy manner. The steam channeler
was thumping away cutting a chan
nel around a rock that would weigh
15 or 20 tons, and things looked
lively, generally.
The quarry is now employing
from 35 to 40 men and is running a
day and night gang. : They are
getting out an immense quantity of
rock, and we were informed that it
will take them six., months at the
piesent rate to fill their, contract
upon which they are now working.
The new partner, a Mr. Hibbon,
has arrived and a steam drill haj
been brought and will be put to
running. More machinery will be
added from time to time as it is
needed;
Friday was pay day at the quarry,
and an incipient strike was the re
sult. It seems that the hiring of
. 1 . . .... ,
t"S-t ci-.v, pM.::.a:y, a..
been done mostly by a young Davis,
a son of one of the members of the
company, aud his schedule of wages
promised was rather "scattering."
To some he promised $1.50 per
night, some jSi.75 and some $2.
When it come to pay, the pay
master paid all alike, and the
amount paid was only $1 50. This
caused considerable kicking and
some of the boys quit. There were
plenty of them left to run the
quarry however.
Right opposite Pioneer quarry
Mr. Luker has a prospect stripped.
The bluff shows a good face of rock,
and it appears that it will only re
quire a small amount of stripping
to get at it. However, we do not
anticipate that two quarries will be
in operation so close together at the
same time. One will probably ab
sord the other. v
Pioneer begins to present much
of the appearance of a town. Cot-
tagea are strung along the creek
bottom, and the new store going
up will add considerably to the
appearance of the place. If the
work at that place holds out, as
there is every indication that it will,
it will not be long before there will
be quite a village there. The es
tablishment of a postoffice and an
express office will help them out
materially.
A short distance below Pioneer,
on the Olsson place, Messrs. Toner
and Wittenstroin have their stone
prospect partly developed. They
have a good face of stone opening
out directly on the railroad track.
The prospecting done so far in
dicates that it is the same formation
as Pioneer store.
Every trip to the,".e stone quarries
convinces us more than ever of the
great importance of these industries
to our country. The lime is not
far distant when these quarries will
be one of the most important in
dustries on the Pacific coast.

Number 30.
Elk City.
The little village of Elk City is
keeping pace with the advance
ment of Lincoln county. We visit
ed that place last Saturday and
could not help but notice the ma
terial changes and improvements
that have taken place. The town
presents a very clean and neat
appearance, very much in contrast
with what it preseuted when we
first saw the place nearly two years
ago. The old buildings that used
to be on the corner have been torn
down and rebuilt in a neat find
attractive shape. The corner and
its buildings was recently purchased
by H. Terwilliger, a Portland gen
tleman, who will make that place
his home during the summer at
least. Mr. L. W. Deyoe has prov
en himself to be quite a benefit to
the town. He retuodehd and re
furnished the hotel after purchasing
it, and has erected a baru in the
rear, cleaned up the yard and nude
the surroundings pleasant in 0 her
ways. Recently he purchased the
old Mays store building aud rai ;ed
and repaired it and has placed in it
3. "tA'tliA 'i.lCC J "vnn1 r f cvrtinTl1
" u
merchandise. His enterprise and
thrift deserves a generous rewar 1
in the shape of a thriving busines s,'
and from indications we observed
Saturday he is getting it. Marsh
Simpson has also built a uew baru
011 his farm adjourning town.
Marsh's oats were in the field yet
and he aud Rufe Simpson expected
to thresh on Monday if the weather
held good, the machine being al
ready at their places. Mr, Blnif
has the postoffice and drug slovi?
located in the building opposite
Deyoe's store. He has a nice little
stock of drug's, but the psopla nr
so esaperatingly healthy that it
makes the ding trade dull. Mr.
Blair but recently received hio ap
pointnient as postmaster of that
place, succeeding Marsh Simpson
who had been potnaster there for1
27 years. Dr. Carter keeps his
office in his residence and from that
point attends to his large practice.
Dr. Carter is the only practicing
physicians between Newport and
Blodgetts. The chief topic of the
day at Elk City now is fishing. A
great quantity of fine trout-are
caught and shipped to Portland)
and many of Elk's citizens turn an
honest penny by this pleasant pur
suit. ,
The work of the quarries in that
vicinity have greatly helped tho
trade of Elk City, as that is at
present the nearest trading point.
Should Elk City grow and dtvelop
in the next 18 months as it has in
the last, it will not be long before
a town of some size will have
sprung up at this beautiful spot.
We hope and trust this will be, as
in the future prosperity of the
whole county lies the people's)
immediate welfare.
Bound for Oregon. ;
They are coming; not a hundred
thousand strong, but they are com
ing, The first traiuload of home
seekers bound for Oregon left Sioux
City yesterday, and this is to be the
forerunner of a vast immigration
if we only do our duty when they
get here. The Union Pacific has
inaugurated a good movement for
us, and we hope that the other
railroads will follow the example.
The home seekers are coming from
South Dakota, where drouths in
summer and blizzards in' winter
work calamity ull the year round.
It will be an agreeable change for
them to get into a land where the
roses bloom in December, and where
they have no crop failures, Th
traiuload of passengers who left
Sioux City yesterday are romm. to
spy out the G."?.nl Konde valley,
and doubtle-s they will be pleased
with what they shall see. It is out
of the- beauty spots of eat Ih, and is
the ideal home for the farmer. Vet
there are other valleys in Oregon
of equal beauty and fertility, and
these home Keekers should be made
acquainted with them before they
return to Dakota. There is nothing
in Oregon that is not worth seeing
and worth having. Telegram .
Our thanks .are due Dr. Carter
for a fine box of prunes and plums
last Saturday. The Doctor has one
of the finest young orchards in
Lincoln county.
