PRIZES FOR ANQORAS
Good Show of bheep, Hogs and
Poultry In Addition to the
Goats.
The Sixth Annual Angora Goat
Show for Oregon, held in this city,
came to a successful close Friday
afternoon. The attendance on Friday
was even greater than that of the
opening day, and the building was
crowded from morning until night.
In the afternoon, the crowd was so
great that it was difficult to pass
through the aisles. The heavy
attendance of visitors this year
demonstrated the fact that the show is
outgrowing its present quarters, and
that it will soon be necessary to pro
vide a larger building for the exhibi
tion of blooded Angoras.
While the number of goats shown
this year was not noticeably larger
than that of last year, a marked im
provement in the stock was the
occasion of much favorable comment,
and a strong but friendly rivalry was
in evidence among the exhibitors. A
number of sales of choice animals
were made, the prices being high in
each instance.
Much credit for the successful ex
hibit is due to the untiring efforts of
the committee on arrangements, and
especially to H. L. Fenton, U. S. Grant
and W. A. Ay res, who worked early
and late, both before and during the
show, to provide proper accommoda
tions for the exhibits and for the wel
fare and comfort of the visitors.
Through the liberality of the business
men of Dallas, everything connected
with the show was free. Feed for the
animals was furnished without
charge, no entry fee was exacted, and
no admission was charged at the door.
The railroad companies granted a
half rate on all animals shipped to
Dallas for exhibition purposes, and
also made a liberal reduction in
passenger fares. The motor company
ran a special train from Airlie both
days, accommodating a large number
of people living in the southern part
of the county who desired to attend
the show.
Business was lively in Dallas both
days, and the merchants without ex
ception report a heavy volume of
trade. The hotels were taxed to their
utmost capacity in caring for the
visitors, and the livery stables enjoyed
a big rush of business.
The poultry exhibit attracted much
attention and divided honors with the
goat show in bringing people to town.
The greater number of fowls exhibited
belonged to Dallas fanciers, and the
showing was highly creditable. Many
varieties of pets were to be seen in
this department.
George W. McBee, president of the
Polk County Mohair Association, says
that the members of the association
are highly pleased with the results of
the Sixth Annual Angora Goat Show,
and is of the opinion that all will
work for a still greater exhibit next
year.
There were sixty-five registered and
forty-five grade goats entered. The
judges were I. A. Dean, Riddles, Ore.,
and L. S. and H. C. Obye, North Yam
hill. The competition was close and it re
quired great care on the part of the
judges in placing the awards. It was
no easy task, but they seem to have
given satisfaction. The awards were
as follows :

ALASKA AT THE FAIR
Display at Lewis and Clark Centen
nial Will Be More Complete
Than at Any Other Fair.
Alaska, the land of snow and ice
and gold mines, will make a display
at the Lewis and Clark Centennial
that will show, besides its mining re
sources, the agricultural wealth of
Uncle Sam's most northerly terri
tory. Alaskans are alive to the im
portance of being suitably represented
at the Exposition, and the exhibit
which they will prepare will far excel
displays collected for earlier fairs.
Every part of Alaska will be repre
sented, from the islands along the
southeastern coast to the remote
regions along the international
boundary and extreme western Alaska,
back to Nome. The ore exhibit, which
will naturally attract the greatest
interest, will fill a single case 75 feet
long and five feet high. Gold and
copper ores will be exhibited for the
most part. The Treadwell mine will
have an individual display, showing
that this mine in 22 years has pro
duced over $22,000,000 worth of gold
more than three times the original
cost of Alaska.
The fisheries exhibit is being pre
pared to show methods of catching
and packing salmon in Alaska. There
will be a fine line of Alaska furs, in
cluding skins from all the furbearlua
animals native to the territory. Some
of these skins, made into rugs, are
worth $1,000 each.
The agricultural exhibit will serve
to dispel the popular impression that
the northern territory is a great ice
floe. The exhibit will include samples
of various grains grown in Alaska,
which will compare favorably with
those grown in the states, together
with garden vegetables now raised
extensively in favored portions of the
territory. Native fruits and berries,
many of them unknown elsewhere,
will be on display, as well as fruits
which have been introduced into the
territory.
Photographs of scenery will form
an interesting feature of the Alaskan
exhibit. The work of the native's,
such as baskets, beadwork, totem
poles and canoes, will be shown in an
attractive manner, and the exhibit
will give evidence of the results of
educational methods introduced since
the United States took possession of
the territory.
The population of Alaska Is now
estimated at 5G.08G, of which 29.53G are
Indians and 20,550 whites. Shiploads
of Alaskans are expected to attend the
Exposition.
DEFEAT FOR "WINGED M"
Dallas College Basketball Team Wins
Prom Portland Clubmen by
Score of 14 to 10.
For the third time since the teams
were organized, the Dallas College
basketball players defeated the Mult
nomah Amateur Athletic Club last
Saturday evening, the score standing
14 to 10 when the final whistle was
blown. The game was played in the
Collego gymnasium in this city, and
was witnessed by a large crowd of
people.
While Dallas won out by a com
fortable margin, the score does not
indicate the relative skill of the two
teams. The Dallas team, from the
beginning of its successful career,
has been accustomed to playing fast
ball, but in this game fast work was
rendered impossible by the slowness
of Referee Krohn. ' The game was
characterized by seme roughness on
the part of the clubmen, and this
rough playing also helped to hold
down the Dallas score.
The game was looked forward to
with some anxiety by admirers or the
sport, as it was believed that the con
test would show to a great extent the
strength of this year's college team as
compared with the teams of former
years. The result was highly grati
fying, proving that the veterans were
playing their old-time fast ball and
that there was nothing to fear from
the new men. The sensational play
of the evening was a basket thrown
from the center of the court by a Port
land player. The line-up was :
Dallas Position Multnomah
Teats Forward Stcadman
Ford Forward Kennedy
Shaw Center Bellinger
Gates Guard Harder
Morton Guard Barker
Referee, Robert Krohn, of Portland;
umpire, Bert Guy, of Dallas.
Gold in Duck's Craw.
A gold mine was discovered in a
duck's craw by Dr. O. D. Butler.
Layton Smith presented the Doctor
with a duck upon his return from a
hunt on the preserves below Portland.
In preparing the fowl for the table,
a quantity of fine gold was discovered
in its craw. The gold dust was taken
to O. A. Kramer, the jeweler, who
melted it up and made it iuto a pin
which Mrs. Butler wears. Indepen

The Margarita Fischer Company
closed a successful engagement at the
City Hall, Tuesday night. The play
ers were greeted by comfortably filled
houses at each of the four perform
ances. The company has been
strengthened since its former visit to
Dallas last October, and the plays
presented were all thoroughly enjoy
able. The Fischer Company is the
best theatrical company that comes to
Dallas, and the people show their
appreciation by liberal patronage.
Manager Fischer spares no effort to
surround his talented daughter with
the most capable people he can afford
to employ, and is the only manager
who has met with success in playing
the smaller towns In the last four or
five years. The company is en route
to Belllngham, Wash., where it will
fill an eight weeks' engagement.
Sheriff J. T. Ford expects to have
the county tax roll in his hands for
collection by the first week in Febru
ary. This early completion of the roll
will relieve the annual rush in the
sheriff's office caused by the prompt
payment of taxes in order to save the
3 per cent rebate granted by the county
on all taxes paid before March 15.
The tax roll is usually turned over to
the sheriff for collection about March
1.
SPECIAL RACCOON EDITION
Dallas Itemlzer Reports a Veritable
"St. Bartholomew of Coons."
Last week's number of the Dallas'
Itemizer might be properly termed a
special "Coon Edition." The paper
contains 7 count 'em 7 separate and
distinct coon items, as follows :
Robt. Reed killed a coon near here.
Some of the boys were out hunting
last Saturday and caught a coon.
Our hunters captured several coons
during the recent snow. Lewisville
correspondent.
During the snow storm the boys of
Ballston brough in thirty coons and
a fox.
Some twenty-five men and boys
turned out for a coon hunt Saturday
and captured thirty of the varmints.
In the American bottom region last
Saturday about 25 coons were tracked
to their places of abode and made
breathless.
Ben Thompson and Jake Steffy
caught four coons in one hollow log.
The boys say they are powerful good
eating.
Few Bidders Present.
Few bidders were present at the
delinquent tax sale Monday morning,
and the greater portion of the property
advertised for taxes was bid in by the
county. Collections on the tax roll
last year were closer than ever before,
and only a few tracts of land remained
to be sold to satisfy unpaid taxes.
The total amount of the delinquent
roll on the day of the sale was $375.07.
Of this amount the county bid in
property representing $292.58, and the
remainder was sold to private parties.
The greater number of delinquent tax
payers will doubtless redeem their
property in the near future, and the
county will then have the money in
stead of the land. The delinquent tax
rolls of Polk county are becoming
smaller each year, and, aside from an
Insignificant loss of tax on personal
property which cannot be avoided,
every cent is collected before the rolls
are finally closed.
New Telephone Connection.
Corvallis and Independence are now
in communication via the Independent
telephone. Connection was made
Th u rsday.and one of the first messages
was from J. M. Staats at Independence
to the Times office at Corvallis, giving
notification of the new arraugement.
The line worked excellently. The
route is via the Mountain View
rural line, thence via Tamplco and
Soap Creek to J. M. Staat's farm and
thence to Independence direct. A line
is to be extended atonce to Monmouth.
Connection with Dallas, Airlie and
Kings Valley via the Independent
line was established some time ago.
Corvallis Times.
Are Enjoying Their Trip.
I. N. Woods, Southern Pacific agent
at Dallas, who, with his family, is
touring Southern California, writes
from Los Angeles : "We are well, and
are enjoying the trip so far. We
spent a week in San Francisco, a day
in San Jose and a day In Santa
Barbara, and saw many former Ore
gonians in those places. This Is
certainly a delightful country so far
as climate is concerned, at this time
of year ; still I think Oregon is good
enough for nie.moro especially Dallas.
Please send us the Observer. We are
hungry for news from home."
The Monmouth Normal School
basketball team defeated the Newberg
team by a score of 22 to 12, at Mon
mouth, Friday evening. After the
game the young women of the Athletic
Association gave a reception to both
teams.
