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. Mr. Finseth says
business in all lines is lively in the
Coos Bay country. 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. Mr. Finseth is of the
opinion that Tortland can hold a
large share of this trade if her mer
chants will only provide suitable
transportation facilities until the
railroud from Drain to Marshfleld is
completed. Mr. ami Mrs. V. H. Held

H. E. Talmer, a timber faller in the

Company, was badly hurt on Tuesday
while cutting timber at one of the
camps of the company above Falls
City. While working on a spring
board falling a tree he was struck by
a limb, which had become loosened
some way, and striking the ground
crushed his side in such a manner as
to Iracture several ribs. Latest re
ports say he is resting easily aud his
physicians are confident of his re
covery.
