ABOUT GOATS.
The farmers of the Willamette. val
ley are now selling their mohair. In
fact, the largest shipments to! the
markets have already been made.
Th,e: prices received range from 20 to
32 cents a pound. At the jprices that
bave been received this season, as
compared with the prices for wool,
goat are a better thing than sheep,
-the fleece alone being considered.
Thwy are better than sheep for the
farmer who has oak grub land or land
covered with .any kind of brush or
mall timber, which he wants to clear
up a'nd where he can afford to allow
plenty of time for the clearing. There
"are a great many goats In the country
surrounding the Capital City, and this
Is the 'most important market for mo
hair In the 'state. There is a larger
uemajviTor goats now- than ever be
fore here, for more farmers want to
get the benefits ami profits they have
seen their neighbors realizing, and
mime uf the land owners axe increas
ing their bands.
Will they not overdo the buslneaa?
Not likely.
The mohair is used - largely In the
making of pluah for car seats. The
manufacture' of luxuriously rurni!hd
coaches 4s on the Increase in this
country, and the outlook is for a con-tlnuanco-
of this growth, on account
'of the demand not only in America,
but abo from other countries, for cars
-jhstructed by the superior builders
of this country. So, lieowten the car
manufacturers and the uk grubs, the
lriMtpci'ts for the raising of goats, at
tui advantage and a profit, are good
for the valley.

into general use here ffNnKimptlon,
and It probably will not, as such. But
it goes In the', San -Francisco 'market (
under the Ulsguine of mutton, and
large quantities- of it are disposed
f there.
A farmer . friend of our who "Is a
goat man says the prejudice against
goat meat Ts 'unwarranted Hede
clares that the flesh of the young goat
1st ln fact superior to mutton of the
average grade.- He points to the' fact
ithat the best people of all the ages,
Jn some countries, have not, only eaten
iol relished the flesh of " goats, but
that they have also partaken of the
milk of goats, and of the cheese made
therefrom.
An unfeeling lobbyist at the last
soa&lon of the Oregon legislature tried
to Ifaye a law proposed for specially
built fences by, farmers keeping goats.
,Ilat this farmer friend of ours, who
lias always kept goats, says that any
well built ,encej will turn a goat that.
In fact they are not harder to fence
vgalm than mot sheep, and not so
likely to get through a fence as most
tioc-ji ti fhLnWa' that anvone who
builds and maintains a fence at all
ought to have a goat-tight fence, and
If he does not he is not a reliable and
prudent farmer . ; ..."'- !
Anyway, the goats -are with us to
stay, and to grow up. with the country.
and clear It up. and It is a good thing
that they are her and on the Increase.
They have put a very nest P11 of
money Into circulation- here lately,
and this has entered Into the channels
of trad and Is helping all of us.
IN OREGON, SOME DAY.
It Oregon had a law, similar to that
of New york. providing for the build
ing of good waeron roads, some com
rnunltiea would no doubt refuse to
take advanUge of It at first. The New
York statute provide: that the state
-shall bear SO per cent! of the cost ' of
(permanent highways. the respective
count lee 55 per cenU. and the Indl vis
ual property owners benefited 1$ per
cent. But;, the Individuals to receive
the benefit must take the Initiative.
The first Tuesday, In J thia month of
April several election were held on
Long Island, to decide the question of
road or no road for thie different com
munities of farmers and gardeners.
There are already several main roads
on the island that are first-class; but
the truck gardeners there who supply
the New ork market with a great
deal of Its fresh vegetables want more
macadamised wars. In order to reach
the stations quickly with big loads,
without too much of wear and tear on
rigs and teams.. Hence the elections.
The men desiring to Improve the rural
communities carried the day in every
Instance. The campaign was a vigor
ous one, an educational campaign,. with
speeches, stereoptlcon views, and
painted matter. We might havesuch
campaigns In Oregon before very long,
if we had a state engineer of roads, as
was proposed In the bill ; before the
legislature last winter; if we had come
one who would make the agitation of
the cood roads question a business.
The New York law I certainly a very
liberal one for the individual property
holders. But Oregon and her counties
could afford to be as liberal, though It
were necessary to issue bonds In order
to raise their part o)r the money. The
individuals might bis given the" option
of paying at once or having bonds Is
sued for their benefit, as, we believe. Is
the practice now In the case of street
and sewer improvements In the cities
of our state. s
GRACEFUL.
' The new state .board of agriculture
has changed its opening 'date from
October 6th to ' September 15th, then
continuing seven days. It is certainly
to be hoped an arrangement can be
made whereby a clash ! of dates be
tween the Salem-fair1and the Portland
exposition majn be - avoided. The new
state board has shown a sensible spirit
of conciliation and accommodation,
and it Is In every way desirable that
the friendly . feeling should be both
reed proeal and permanent. A fair at
Balem run ' on ' business principles
should have no quarrel with the Port
land exposition, and the exposition
need have no quarrel with r it. Ore
gonlan.
This is graceful and very fair.
There never" has been any reason for
Jealousy between the two institutions,
or. between the two cities. Portland
ouierht to desire the highest prosperity
of Salem, as a tributary city to the
metropolis, and Salem ought to be and
in fact 4s proud of every metropolitan
achievement and advancement of the
chief commercial city of Oregon. It Is
good and profitable for brothers to
dwell together In peace and unity.
It would pay the people of the Fruit
land and Enger neighborhoods to buy
all the advance tides that are required
to secure for th-rr. motor line connec

i WASHINGTON, D. "C April 18.
(Special) National monuments i and
public bulldlnga. with many parks and
reservations, make Washington fa
mous, and as there is little or no man
ufacturing done here, and no wholesale
trade of consequence, the city U de
pendent on government patronage and
essentially a government town where
all government agents resort and pub
lic officials reside; also the diplomatic
corps representing all other civilised
nationalities. Here come many who
have been successful In life to pass its
close in congenial society.
Life here has the charm that . comes
from officialdom and congenial society.
Kxquisite politeness Is met with from
all who are connected with the depart
ment;' an element of courtesy and
kindness pervades all varieties of
Washington life and society Here can
be found a culture and geniality not
common In mercantile communities.
One who has taste for literature finds
societies to satisfy that taste. Depart
ment life is as varied as human nature
and presents phases as interesting as
human feeling. Existence is divested
of the anxiety that absorbs the man of
business and the vicissitudes that so
often overwhelm trade. Through pan
ics and crises life in Washington goes
on unvaried to aome degree monot
onous though the majority of official
life has respite and abundant time for
recreation or study, as the official hour
commences a t 9 a. m. with lunch thnss
from 12 ra. to 12:30 p. an. The day! closes
at 4 p. m. The winter season sees
many social phases; those who desire
it can toe jay, or find congenial society
when familiar with their surroundings.
There are twelve theaters in this city
and : many other places for amuse
ments. The interior department is the most
varied and Important of all, in a gen
eral sense. Its machinery controls the
ipubiic lands. Indian alfairs, the vast
pension bureau, the patent office," the
geological survey, the bureau of edu
cation, the census, all territories, also
the Dustrict of Columbia; constituting
a vast and complete system, managed
by organisation that goes' on under
.civil aea-vicle rules with equanimity
and precision whatever party rules and
whether administrations change. It
is like the tide that ebbs and Hows; the
power of attraction is hardly more
certain than is routine of official UXe
with all great nations.
The business of the Interior depart
merit Is conducted In several great,
buildings; the pension office Is an Im
mense structure. The main building
commonly known as the patent office,
occupies two entire -blocks -from 7th
to 9lh streets on F street, one of thy
great thoroughfares. It Is four stories
high; divided into rooms ar.d t.i -avers ?d
by corridors; a very hive of officii
workers: each department has its
ramifications, so the complicated bus
iness goes on with all its minutiae.
paced these corridors the other day to
form an Idea as to the size of the
building. It Is about 400 feet long and
200 wide. This has the offices of th
land bureau, patents, Indian affairs.
The attorney-general also has his of
fice! here, though that is a depart
ment of Itself. ' ,
Oregon being one of the public land
states the Statesman's readers will be
interested to laarn the workings ot
the land system; more especially as
one of Oregon's most distinguished
citizens Binger Hermann ts at pres
ent commissioner of the general land
office. The entire department has
506 employes, of which 400 are retained
by the general land office. Many of
these are women, some of whom fill
important positions and receive hand
some salaries. This bureau is divided
Into many divisions; the chief Interest
centers In the land of the public do
main remaining unsold; which are
classified as railroad lands, mineral
lands, swamp lands, forests, Indian
lands ahd Indian reservations. There
are desert and arid lands, salt springs
and various aub-divlsions, that seems
an intricate system, but is resolved in
to complete and comparatively simple
details by Its sub-divisions.
One is surprised to know that a large
proportion of the public domain re
mains unoccupied. What was lately
known asthe Great American desert
now has became prosperous states or
growing territories. The desert area
ia diminishing and will grow leas as
irrigation becomes possible. It sur
prises many to learn that rich and
deep soil has grown up to sage and Is
classed as desert, that needs but the
touch of water to create an earthly
paradise. Such was -Southern Califor
nia. Cactus and yucca palm (were there
and nature wore her dreariest aspect
unty irrrlgatlon converted the San
Bernad4no and Los Angeles districts
Into a region of orange groves and
rich with bloom and verdure. We may
hope that the world's progress will In
clude some means to redeem desert
lands.
Mr. Hermann took hold of the land
office with experience of prior service
In congress. He had studied land laws
and systems to be able to serve his
constituents. After two years service
he commands the respect of all; has
the confidence of the president .and
has succeeded where leas conscientious
and lees laborious -men have failed to
command respect. Secretary Bliss,
who had life-long success as a man of
business, had entire confidence In Mr.
Hermann. Abuses had crept in be
cause, there was not sufficient guard
over public interest a Extensive con
tracts had been let and returns made
of surveys pretended, to have been
made, when there had been no efficient
survey. (Mr. Hermann suspended some
accounts that bis predecessor had ap
proved. He showed all that no more
work would be paid for until" positive
proof -was furnished that the work was
well performed.-;;. ...'"
Oregonians la office have generally
done wen. The fame of the Oregon
boys In Manila has gone far and near.
In -fact Oregon is a great' old state.
The entire Northwest of the Pacific is
a region to be proud of. It was once
all Oregon.

and much more have the poets said In
an attempt to body forth m words the
charms of budding womanhood. But
their failure Is confessed In the endless
struggle for new words, new-tropes to
mirror back this vision of life's su

What becomes' of all that beauty and

from diseases peculiar to their sex.
Among those cured have been women
suffering from the worst forms of

or toy the wrong treatment of soma lo

scope of these, cures the case of Miss
Isabel Miller is interesting;
"1 w as so weak I did not have breath

. relative who will act In her behalf as
did Mr. McGregor for his niece,
I 'iMy niece was troubled with female
j weakness for about four years before
I asked for your advice." writes Mr. J.
W. 'McGregor, of 62d 4t. and Princeton

to you that she is a well "woman.
We cannot thank you enougn for the
cure. iWe have recommended ' your
medicine to all our friends, and be
lieve It to be a wonderful discovery."
There need be no hesitation on the
part of the most delicate minded wom
an in laying her case fully before Doc
tor Pierce and obtaining not only the
benefit of his profeHsionaJ counsel but
his fatherly advice, which by reason
of his wide experience and phenome
nal soctoas is beyond price and yet is

indicate questioning, no offensive ex
amination, no unpleasant kx-al treat

often deems necessary. Nothing but a
frank and full statement of the case to
be read as privately a it la written,
and answered as privately as it Is

The confidence which follows the use
of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
is marked in the following letter of

have used the medicine and the un

circle of hopeless suffering women.
"Several years ago I suffered severe

and monorrhagia, und used 'Favorite

writes Fannie Sbelton, of Washington.
Iowa. "Glad I have not needed It Tor a
few years past, but if I should have

In every case they have spoken in

Do not wait. Do not put oft Dr.
Pierce's treatment and let disease fas

and beauty. Disease never stands still.
