PALLAS, OREGON, JaKCAey 18, 1907 The way to build up Dallas is to pat ronize Dallas people. THE GOAT SHOW. More successful than any previous exhibit of its kind, and proving be yond all question that Oregon Angoras are superior to those of any other portion of the United States, the eighth annual goat show at Dallas has passed into history. From a modest beginning eight years ago, when six or eight blooded Angoras were exhibited in a private stable in Dallas, the Polk County goat men have steadily supported and built up their annual show until it now ranks as one of the leading events of the year among the livestock breeders of the United States. The recognition accorded the Dallas show by the American Angora Goat Breeders' Association, in donating $200 to be awarded aa prizes, has given it National standing and significance, and, while the number of Oregon goats will always outnumber those exhibited by any other state, the show will no longer be looked upon as merely a state or county affair. The enterprising larmerswho are raising these profitable little animals are not only helping themselves financially by breeding up their flocks to a high degree of excellence, but are also doing much to advertise their Btate. It would be difficult to overestimate in dollars and cents the advertising value of the Dallas goat show to Polk county and the state of Oregon, and the people may rest assured that every dollar donated to this worthy enter prise will be returned to them an hundred -fold. Representative Jones of Polk and Lincoln was made temporary Speaker of the Housea fitting recognition of ability and an honorable record as a public servant. Senator Fulton writes the people of Eugene that he has little hope of being able to obtain a $50,000 appropriation for their desired public building. The fact of the business Is, Senator Fulton is not able to obtain much of anything for anybody. . Let's not be in too great a hurry to prophesy an extravagant session of the Legislature. Compared with the records of some of Its predecessors, the present body has already accomplished much in making a start in the direc tion of economy. The Oregon Legislature organized promptly, Monday, with Frank Davey, of Marlon county, speaker of the House, and E. W. Haines, of Wash ington county, presidentof the Senate. In the caucus vote of the House members, Davey received 44 votes against 14 for Yawter. "I think this is the first time an Oregon State Printer ever asked the Legislature to cut $10,000 from his yearly salary, but I want you to do it," said Speaker Davey of the House of Representatives, Wednesday morn ing, after Mr. Duniway had appeared before that body and urged the adop tion of a less expensive form of calen dar than has been used heretofore. Small wonder that the honest State Printer was cheered to the echo at the conclusion of his remarks. Such men are rare In public life in Oregon, or any other Btate, and it la to be hoped that the money saved to the taxpayers by Mr. Dunfway's straightforward action will not be frittered away in some needless extravagance by the state's lawmakers. Rodney Marshall, a young man recently from Montana, has been em ployed on the Observer mechanical force. This office now gives steady employment to five printers, and all of them are thoroughly competent workmen. Quite a change from a few years ago, when one man was able to do all the work in the office. A Bad Stomach Lessens the usefulness and mars the hap piness of life. It's a weak stomach, a stomach that can not properly perform its functions. Among Its symptoms are distress after eating, nausea between meals, heartburn, belching, vomiting, flatulence and nervous headache. Hood'sSarsaparilla Cures a bad stomach, indigestion and dys pepsia, and the cure is permanent. Accept no substitute. INDEPENDENCE. Earl Wisecarver, of Dallas, was a Sunday visitor. F. C.

Most all of the residences of this com munity plpe.water from springs into their houses. Scarcely any have escaped having a pipe or a faucet burst. Many woeful stories are told about how their efforts proved fruit less. Last Tuesday evening one of the jolllest parties of the season was formed to go coasting. An ideal place for the sport was found and coasting was continued until a late hour. A large bonfire was built at the top of the hill around which sat those who were resting. Merry laughter and calls could be heard from those going down the long steep incline for some distance. Among those in the party were: Misses Lina and Mary Phil Hps, Marie and Joyce Crawford, Alice Peebles, Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Henry, William and Donald Crawford, John Bollier and James McCarty.
