COURT HOUSE NOTES
DALLAS' PROSPERITY.
The receipts of the Dallas poatofBee,
according to the report of Postmaster
C. G. Coad, amounted to $616.80 for the
month of December, 1906, and to
$918.85 for the corresponding month
in 1907, making an Increase of $331.49,
or more than 60 per cent.
No truer insight into the progress
and prosperity of our city could be
gained from any other source, for a
city's growth keeps pace with the
Increase of its commercial intercourse
with other cities, and the truest
criterion of this commercial develop
ment is the growth of Its mall service.
Construed in their absolute signifi
cance, these figures mean that the
business transactions of Dallas with
other cities were 0 per cent greater
during the month just past than they
were during the corresponding month j
In 1906. Suoh a phenomenal increase
may well be regarded with pride by
the citizens of Dallas as Indicative of
a growth that can scarcely be equalled
by any of the cities of like size In tho
Willamette Valley.

THE Q0AT SHOW.
The Angora goat raisers are making
nctlvo preparations for their annual
show, to be held In Dallas on January
16, 16 and 17. Including sheep and
hogs In its exhibits, this Dallas show
has perhaps done more than all other
agencies combined to advertise Polk
County as tho home of blooded live
stock, and Dallas as tho center of tho
Angora Industry in the United States.
The show Is open to all Oregon
breeders, and recognition by the
American Angora Goat Breeders'
Association has given it National
standing and promlnenco.
Secretary Fulton of the Amorlcan
Association Is a loyal friend of the
Dallas show, and it was through his
efforts that over $700 was spent in
behalf of the Oregon breeders last
year. Mr. Fulton says tho show of
last year was brought to the attention
of practically every goat breeder In tho
United Stales and Africa, and was far
more widely advertised ,than any
previous exhibit held In this country.
In a recent letter to Soeretary Fonton
he urged the itnportancoof tho breeders
of Oregon and the merchants of
Dallas making llboral provision for
the expense of the coining show. The
committee will begin their canvass
for funds tomorrow, and are assurei
of liberal donations from tho business
mon.
The newspapers of Oregon have
always been friendly to tho Dallas
goat show, and rooognlzlng the fact
that Its promoters wore working for
the common good and not for personal
profit, have given liberally of their
space In advertising tho show. This
year the Oiihehvkk Is clipping nil ot
this advertising from its exchanges,
ami will turn It over to tho committee
after the show. Theamouut of pub
Uolty received rrom this source will
prove a suprlso to tho management,
and to the people of Dallas and Polk
county as well.
