Movement Is Unique.
; The movement which has been under
way more tiiao a year. Is unique in the
history of trade unionism, in that its
object Is political rather than industrial.
.It Is lob? JLprotestagalnM: thereURl
lif'the government to afford facilities
fn parliament for the discussion of elec
toral reforms. The' only ' position at
issue is the franchise. v X
, The trade unions, except the few mat
are allied with 'the dominant Catholic
party and the Socialists are' united in
their determination to force a reform of
the electoral laws which give certain
classes two or mere votes, with the re
sult that the government remains in the
control of -the moneyed aristocracy. -

(Special-Correspondence.) '
Oregon City, Or., April 12.The cast;
Iron stomach of the goat has been a
puzzle to scientists throughput the ages,
alleged humorists tell us. There's an
old myth concerning a bearded Billy
yhn lunched on Pat a red shirt and f
after dinner delicacies, got away with
a pound of eight-penny nails, un-Fletch
erlsed, or words to that effect, Another
shaggy fellow goat, not humorist
nibbled a stick of dynamite for his last
earthly meal. Rhymstars have made
"a goat" of the goat for years. .
Laying aside for the moment all Jest
ing,, it may be said -tfeet the goat of
Clackamas county, at least has a most
admirable digestion. This eating habit
has not been so terribly exaggerated
as one might Imagine. Not that our
farmers invite their pets to nibble at
their red ehirts, nor do they throw
their dynamite about carelessly. Mtrwi
ever," it has been conclusively " shown
here during the past few -years that
goat a live and thrive with the absolute
minimum of attention, on the part of
their owners. Clackamas county goats
are turned loose in the hills that's
about all anyone knows. The mild year
round climate makes such a move pos
sible; Along about "mohair" time the
farmer rounds up his flock, clips and
sells his wool at a handsome figure, and
again turns his bands loose. What all
the goats have, tackled in the meantime,
only the powers above can -say. At all
events they fatten up and multiply
two things fur which Clackamas angoras
are famous. '
Goat Opportunities is roothllls.
Still the goat industry in this county
Is in Its Infancy. There are thousands
and thousands : of acres of waste land
in the, foothills along the western slope
of the Cascade mountains, absolutely
worjthlesa today as revenue' producing
land, which could be mad to pay and
pay weJL by stocking the rap's? Wlth;the
wearers of the mohair.
Of primary importance is the goat's
ability to clear land. A band of An
goras will clear up a man's land of all
shrubbery, underbrush of all kinds,
plants and herbs, and will clean up
bark and weed Everything-goes the
same route to that'llO-proof receptacle
known, as the sbat'R Btomaeh, of which
the poets are wont to aing. . All the
while 'the goat is lunching on the chips
and shrubbery, -his mohair is thickening
and when the sad time arrives when
goat and hair must part, the owner, finds
a ready market tn this locality at prices
ranging from 25c to 3 jc per pound. Add
to this 80 per cent to 100 perJcehf in
crease in the flock for Oregon Ango
ras are prejudiced against race suicide
and a neat profit on a very modest in
vestment is thd result.

It has also been shown in this county
that pure-blood goats, like all other.

will within the liejtt decade become the
goat center of . Oregon.- local farmers
are fast waking .up tQ Abe Jact and are
stocking their unimproved lands with

might be mentioned. Captain James

from the, department a year or so ago,

along, the Clackamas river, five miles j

But two things are required, water and
fences, and the goats do the rest.
The canyons and slopes of Clackamas
county could prdduce and care- for an
nually 100,000 goats, according to a
modest estimate, and the value of the
annual increase of herds, together-with
the mohair, would exceed the total value
of any of the cereals, hops, apples or
