TT7 E wish you
Happy and Pros
perous New Year, and
take this occasion to
thank you for the gen
erous help you have
given us that has en
abled us to build our
business to what it is.
On November, 7 1903,
we began the Hardware
business with a total
stock of $2000 occupying
a floor space of 1000
square feet.
In January, 1905, we
added the plumbing and
tinning department to
our hardware business,
and on January 1, 1906,
added another depart
ment, that of furniture,
by the purchase of the
Kerslake stock. This
needing more floor space
we leased the entire
Kirkpatrick building,
which we now occupy
with the addition of a
large warehouse for each
department.
We now have a total
floor space of over 9000
square feet, over 9 times
the space we had in the
beginning. We now
employ regularly ten
people to look after this
business; five times as
many as we had in the
beginning, and we are
now doing more than
ten times the business
we did in 1904, and be
lieve that in 1908 we
will do 15 times as much
as we did in 1904.
You, our customers
have made our increased
stock possible, for which
we thank you, and
promise in the year 1908,
if we have your custom
it will be taken care of
in the same way that it
was in 1907.
Yours for a more pros
perous 1908.

everybody, in fact, who is interested
in the breeding of fine goats and the
production of fine mohair.
The exhibit that they found on their
arrival truly justified the interest
shown. Nearly 1L0 goats, all animals
bred and reared in the most scientific
manner possible, are entered. One of
the most notable features of this show
is that the majority of animals in this
beautiful aggregation are registered
stock, showing conclusively that the

ever changing stream about tha low
barriers that confine the animals, and
comment with lively interest on the
appearance of this or that exhibit.
The goats crowd up to the rail and
extend their heads for caresses, or
shrink back into the farthest corner
of their pens, according as they are of
a bold or timid nature.
These goats form a picture that is
truly beautiful to look upon. Animals

Polk County Mohair Association is
fast nearlng the realization of the
object for which the annual goat show
was first planned, namely, the weeding
out of inferior or scrub stock, and the
securing of nothing but the purest
and best breed of animals to represent
the state of Oregon.
Aside from the goats exhibited, sev
eral fine thoroughbred sheep and hogs
have been put od display, more for
advertising purposes than anything
else, as no awards are offered for such
entries. Among these are several
pens of Cotswold sheep owned by F. A.
for the most part the delicate form
and carriage that is characteristic of
the thoroughbred. Goats of all ages
are exhibited, from the young kid
whose sprouting horns are indicated
only by two hard knobs on his fore
head, to the bearded patriarch whose
horns have twisted through a growth
of many seasons. Their hair is In
the best possible condition and shim

Professor Majuard Lee Daggy, of
the Department of Rhetoric and Ora
tory in the University of Washington,
will deliver his lecture on "Anglo-
Saxon Grit." at the Woodman Hall
tonight, under the auspices of Dallas
College.
During the past ten years Professor
Daggy has lectured with unfailing
success before audiences in every por
tion of the United States, and he is
universally recognized as a man
scarcely to be-surpassed in oratorical
power add In 'ability to carry an
audience. His productions are con
structed with perfect rhetorical skill,
and are delivered in a manner that
appeals forcefully and convincingly
to the minds of his hearers.
"Anglo-Saxon Grit" is an original
study of the regnant citizenship of the
twentieth century"; an illuminating
discussion of the forces and factors
with which the present generation
must contend. Perfect in the unity
and logic of its construction, strong
in Its varied appeal to the ruling
emotions of the human race, and
delivered by one who through years
of study has acquired a thorough
mastery of the art of oratory, it can
not fail to have a powerful influence
upon the minds and hearts of all who
hear him.
