DAl.LAa, OREGON, AliGUKr 17, 19t The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. The action ot the American Angora Goat Breeders' Association in appro- . prlating the sum 01 $200 for premiums to be awarded at the next annual Goat Show in Dallas will be deeply appre elated by every breeder of fine Angoras in Oregon. From a small btginnin a fnw years ago, when a half dozen high bred goats were exhibited in private stable, the Dallas gnat show- has steadily grown in importance until it Is now looked upon as one of the principal events of the year in the livestock world. This desirable result has been brought about by the efforts of the enterprising goat breeders of Polk county, unaided by any financial support from outside sources. It highly gratifying to note that th good work has at last been recognized by the prominent goat breeders of th United States and that powerful in fluence has been pledged to th permanent support and success of th exniDic. ane wanas goat snow was first a Polk county institution ; it was next made a state show, aud the tim may soon come when the exhibit will Include Angoras of high degree from every goat-breeding state west of the Mississippi River. SPECIAL SCHOOL ELECTION I Director Will Be Chosen to Succeed I. N. Woods, Resigned. As Dallas grows ami expand, there is a steadily Increasing demand for additional arc street lights. The business district and the older resi dence portion of the town are well lighted, but the spreading suburban district has not been so well provided for. The residents of Germantown 1 4.1 run t 1 . .. uuu uie jCiijis addition, as well as those of the portion of town north and east of the new sawmill, are clamoring for street lights, and it is probable that the city council will be asked to make provision for the small addi tional expense necessary to secure the increased service when making the annual tax levy. It is reported that the electric light company stands ready to make a substantial reduction 1b the monthly charge for arc lights as soon as the additional lamps are ordered by the council. The Gaekwar of Baroda, an official of some importance in his own country, has been touring America and has stirred several newspapers to wrath by declaring that American women are not handsome. Farther than that their criticism of His Nibs' judgment makes a fair quality of "filling" at a time of the year when news is scarce, these papers waste valuable time when they pay any attention to the opinions of this greasy potentate. The best answer to his criticism we have seen In any newspaper is a picture showiug two famous American beauties and between them the Gaek war's wife, the latter a fat, pudge faced squaw. Nocomnientaceompanies the picture, for the very simple reason that noue is necessary. Mrs. H. E. Kozer continues the story of her rambles among historic sceues in this numberotthe Ouskrveh. Her description of the furnishings of the old Washington mansion at Mount Vernon will be especially interesting to every housewife. Mrs. Kzcr is a close observer, and she has the happy faculty of being able to tell what sho sees In her travels. She uses few words, yet her contributions are never prosy. Her letter to the Ohhkhver, telling of the wonders of the St. Louis Fair, was a model descriptive article. While the story was less than three ' columns In length, a prominent St. Louis editor unhesitatingly pro nounced It the beet description of the big Fair that had come under his observation. No school director was chosen at the board meeting Tuesday evening to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of I. N. Woods. When the officers ex amined tne law, tney round tnat a recently enacted section had taken the power to fill vacancies out of the hands of the directors and placed that duty upon the voters of the district. The board then decided to call a special election for Monday, August 27, and instructed the clerk to issue the neces sary notices. Besides electing a director at this meeting, the voters will be asked to vote a small tax for the purpose of furnishing a room for the use of the recently-established Tenth Grade. This additional grade was authorized at the annual school meeting in June by a practically unanimous vote, and the directors are preparing to carry out the wish of the voters as expressed at that meeting. It is hoped that a good attendance will be s cured for the special meeting, as both theelection of a director aud the vote to maintain the tenth grade are matters of great importance to the welfare of Dallas' excellent public school. QUIET HOME WEDDING Miss Pearl Walker Becomes Bride of John P. Van Orsdel. the A quiet wedding was solemnized in the parlors of the Hotel Gail last evening, at 9 o'clock, when Miss Pearl Walker became the bride of Mr. John P. VanOrsdel. Rev. D. Julian Becker, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, was the officiating clergy man. Only the members of the families of the contracting parties were present to witness the interesting ceremony. Mr. VanOrsdel Is the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. VanOrsdel, of this city, and has been a resident of Dallas about eight years. He is a competent surveyor and civil engineer, and is serving his second term as County Surveyor. He has had valuable ex perience in railroad construction work throughout the Northwest, his most recent employment being with the Dallas and Falls City railroad. The bride is a sister of Mrs. J. B. Thompson and Moss Walker, of the Hotel Gail, and formerly resided in Lebanon. She is a most amiable young woman, and has many friends. Mr. and Mrs. Van Orsdel will go to Newport today for a ten days' Btay, and, upon their return, will make their home in the Byerly residence at the corner of Mill and Jefferson streets.

Lively Times In Coos. T. A. Finseth arrived home the last of the week from North Bend, Oregon, where he had charge of his store while Manager Wes Craven was visit ing iu folk county.

The merchants have been buying all their supplies in Portland since the San Francisco disaster, and the boats have been taxed to their capacity in handling the freight.
