The way to build up Dallas ts to pat
ronize Dallas people.
WISE BROTHER MOE.
A baby show contest between Hood
River and Willamette valle might be
next In order. 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. Not
for us. Hood River Olacter.
IMPORTANT NOTICE.
As soon as necessary machinery
and equipment can be installed, an
, important change will be made in the
make-up of the Observer. The paper
will be enlarged, and new depart
r-at-.ts i ...lili-il t.h lit will make it
one of the best weekly newspapers in
the Northwest. New printing material
has been ordered, and it is hoped to
make the change about January 1.
THE GOAT SHOW.
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.
Tho result cannot fall to bo for the
betterment of tho goat Industry and
the increased prosperity of Folk county
and all Oregon.

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

out his promise of economy and a fair
deal. He'll do it.
