than were shown lust year. A sic
nlfieant feature of the show this year
'a the large number of registered
animals on display. For tlfe nft
time in Oregon, the thoroughbred
exhi'l It iUtA'Umbt'r th BOBto
exh bited. Goat breeders are in at-
tendauce from all the Valley counties,
and here are goodly delegations from
California, Southern Oregon Polk
Benton and Washington counties are
the principal Oregon counties repre
sented. John W. Fulton, of Helena, Mont.,
secretary of the American Angora
Goat Breeders' Association, is in
attendance and is taking an active
part in tne meetings of the breeders,
which are held in connection with the
show. It was through Mr. Fulton's
efforts that the sum of $200 was ap
propriated by the National association
for prizes at the Dallas show. Mr.
Fulton's private collection of mohair
rug3 is among the most Interesting
features of the show.
The judges were selected yesterday
morning and began their work in the
afternoon. The judges in the thorough
bred class are : George Boothby, of
Monmouth ; O. E. Focht, of Ballston ;
L. D. Mulkey, of Amity; in the grade
class, E. L. Naylor, of Forest Grove;
W. Warfleld, of Alsea, and M. M.
Nickell, of McMinnville. The judges
are finding it a difficult matter to
pass upon the comparative excellence
of the animals, as competition is keen.
The goats are all in good fleece, and
the younger animals show the wonder
ful advancement that has been made
by the farmers in breeding up their
flocks in the last few years.
TheSanford Mills, of Sanford, Me.,
have a beautiful display of mohair
goods, consisting of car seat plush,
carriage robes, rugs and other
materials woven entirely from Angora
mohair. The exhibit of chickens,
hogs and sheep is as large as usual,
and divides interest to some extent
with the goat show.
A public meeting was held iu the
Courthouse last night, and papers on
the goat industry were read by prom
inent and successful breeders of the
Pacific Coast States. The night meet
ings are a new feature of the Oregon
show. The show will close this after
noon.

MISS LOU LEWIS DEAD
Although Blind for Over Fifty Years,
was Cheerful to the End.
After
au illness of several rlnvs
from
PtleUmOnin Mlao T..I r.
Lewis died at the home of her sister,
Mrs Fannie Davis, at Philomath,
Sunday afternoon at 2:15 o'clock.
1'uneral services were held Tuesday
morning and burial took place in the
JNewton cemetery. Miss Lewis was a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William
Lewis, early pioneers of Polk county
She was a sister of the late James W.
Lewis, of Oak Giove, and of John H.
Lewis, of Salem. Speaking of her
death, the Corvallis Times says :
"Miss Lowis was CG years of age.
She enjoyed a wide acquaintance,
and, being a person of admirable dis
position, held a warm place in the
hearts of those with whom she became
in any way associated. At the age of
thirteen years she became totally
blind from a slight accident, but this
misfortune seemed not to interfere
with an ambition to become a useful
factor of society. Although the sun
light of her life could not enter
through the 'windows of the soul,' it
nevertheless in some manner found
its way thither and was refracted up
on her surroundings with unusual
beneficence. She was offered the ad
vantages of schools for the blind, and
her accomplishments in which the
senseof sight is deemed indispensable,
was remarkable in the extreme. Her
life was a valuable object lesson for
those to whom misfortune has come,
as well as to those in possession of
all their faculties."
