art and nature combine their efforts,
lias presented the' Salem Board of
Trade with a goat made by sawing a
section out oi tne side of a tree.
When the bark was taken off the tree
the suriace was very rough, present
mg at a short distance the auoear

ordinary observer that was all that
was unusual about if hut r.;u.nn

He sawed out the section, stuck in a
coupie or sticks tor horns, and had a
wooden goat that it would tax the ef

Capitalists Propose to Establish Big
Plant In Linn County.
Albany A condensed milk factory
.costing about $75,000 and with an
output of 10,000 cans a day, may be
established in Albany. If local bus
iness men will take $10,000 worth of
stock in the venture, the institution
Is assured. Outside capital is be
hind the enterprise, and while the
name of the chief investor is being
kept secret for the present, the prop
osition is being handled here by re
spectable men.
The proposition was made public
last evening at a meeting of the Alco
Club. State Senator Frank J. Mil
ler, who has been P.mtrflflalno tha alt.
nation on behalf of local business
men, spoke on the project and ad
dresses on ine general industry of

The question of subscription of
stock by local people is being taken
up today, and if business men here
-make good," work on the plant will
soon begin. The machinery alone
win cost stu.uuu.
The country tributary to Albany is
regarded as ideal for the supply of
sucn an enterprise.

District Attorney Devlin, of San

on Japanese residents of that citv.
The report, Mr. Bonapart says, shows
that the first stories of the alleged
assault were exaggerated, and that
the difficulty appeared to be a lack of
police protection, owing to a strike.

sensational reports about expecta
tions of war between Mexico and
Guatemala, Ambassador Creel, of
Mexico, said today to the Associated
I'ressj
"There is nothing pending and no
reason for any fear of war between
the two countries. The assassination
of ex-President Barillas by a Guate
malan developed in Mexico a feeling
of indigation and a strong protest by
public opinion against such a crimi
nal action, more so when it was
known that General Lima, from
Guatemala, was suonospd to hp impli
cated. Mexico asked for the extra
dition of General Lima, not as com
pulsory under the treaty, but offering
Guatemala the orivilpap that miorht
have been accepted. Guatemala de
clined, and this was the end of the
conflict
"There remains in Mexico a feel
inar of arrievance and rntirl.mn.finn
in public sentiment, but not a spirit
of war. The troops that have been
located on the frontier of Mexico and
Guatemala are there for the purpose
of keeping order and to give protec
tion to the people of all nationalities."
