Owing to the »laughter of most of
the mohair bearing goats in Turkey
during the recent war over in that
country for food, the price of mohair
will go up, and stay up indefinitely,
say authorities.
There are not
enough goats in the world to supply
the rapidity growing demand for this
species of wool. This condition will
lead many people to go into that busi
ness. The coast offers the best con
ditions for goat raising of any section
in Oregon. The goat is a browsing ani
mal, and the wonderful growth of
brush in the coast sections, and the
mild winter climate make it an ideal
place for goat herds. Many persons
in this county are going into that
business, which pays better returns
than any other live stock business,
according to the amount of capital in
vested. The highland and mountain
ous districts of this county, offer ex
cellent inducements for goat raising.
Land that is worthless for dairying
and agriculture and fruit raising, is
well adapted for successful goat rais
ing. It is said that there are many
goat herds in this county, and that
they are increasing yearly.

SOME LAW
Th« official political prognosticator
of this state, the Portland Oregonian,
has discovi ri d, so it says, that any
public officer in Oregon can be re

er words it Pierce doesn’t comb his
hair the right way or chews tobacco
io as to hurt some one’s feelings he
can be ousted from his executive pos
ition. We admire such a law. For
many moons we have been disgusted
with th«' way some of our state off
icers hold their faces and we intend
to start a recall against them at once;
or just a- soon as we can find some
tramp who needs the petition money
badly en«>ugh.
Now conies the Hillsboro Independ-
