Here's a tip to Dan McAllen. Oregonian. We don't know what Dan McAllen thinks about it. but we think we can speak for Hood River when we say it is Dot a tip for us. When a few apples can precipitate such a warm discussion as has been going on or late in regaru to their merit it would probably be npeesanrv to call out the state militia to act as referee in a contest where h jiptive nrinc nals.

It is now certain that the sixth annual Oregon Angora CJont Show will surpass all former shows, both in size of exhibit and interest of breeders. Secretary H. L. Fenton, of the Polk County Mohair Association, who is one of the active members or the com mil to a nn Arrjincrements. savs the iu a vuvw " - - cj ' breeders throughout the state art taking a lively interest in the coming show, and many are writing that they will not only attend in person but will bring along some of their finest " animals to enter in competition for the liberal prizes offered. John W. Fulton, secretary of the '.National Ancora Goat Breeders' Association, writes from Helena, Montana, that Dallas will see more ' goat breedors on January 9, 10 and 11 than have ever been gathered together at uny show west of the Rocky Mountains.. He says the southern ' states will send a largo delegation, and possibly some choice animals for .exhibition. Mr. Fulton is a loyal friend to the Dallas show, and it was through his influence that the sum of $200 was donated by the National Association for prizes at Dallas. An interesting feature of the Janu ary show will be a series of papers by successful goat breeders. Tho sub jects of these pupers will include the . history of the Angora goat industry, the breeding and care of those useful and profitable animals, the marketing : of the mohair product, and kindred topics of interest to goat men. Tapers have been promised by National Secre tary Fulton. James Riddell, U. S. Grant, W. A. Ayres and other prom inent breeders. The committee on arrangements is sparine no efforts to make the 1906 ' show biccrer and bettor than any that has been held heretofore, and In this work it is receiving the loyal support and encouragement of tho breeders and the business men of tho county.

The Salem printers' union wants tho state to purchase a printing plant and place the State Printer on a flat salary, in the "Interest of economy." They nlso ask that tho sum of $101,000 be appropriated for public printing fortwovears. As the state is paying less than $30,000 a year for Its printing at the present time, it is difficult to see uhora th frnnomV WOllld COI110 In. The bill savors too strongly of a job to be entitled to serious consideration. The statodoesn't need a printing plant. It's troublos would commence the minute it bought one. Oregon has been paying too much for its printing we all know that but let's not get in a hurry and take tho wrong medi cine. Bettor let Willis Duniway carry out his promise of economy and a fair deal. He'll do it. and always has a kind word for her friends, both young and old. Thorn nrnsent at the reunion were M. D.
