TT71E 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
manv as we had in the
beginning, and we are
now doing more than
ten times the business
we did in 1904, r 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.

OREGON'S BEST GOAT SHOW
Ninth Annual Exhibit at Dallas Brings
Out Finest Registered
Animals.
Friday, the last day of the Aneora
Goat Show held in Dallas last week,
by 'the Polk County Mohair Associ
ation proved to be fully as successful
as the two preceding days had been.
The crowd, already largo, was aug
mented by a number of people who
came into Dallas on the special train
from Airlie, and the show closed with
a record attendance.
The hall in the Eiley building was
furnished by the Dallas Furniture
Company, and proved to be much
more convenient than the room in the
college gymnasium which had been
used in previous years.
j. ne snow was considered by all to
be a great improvement on those of
previous years both in the number of
the stock exhibited and in the quality
of the fleeces. This annual show has
been, during the past nine years, one
of the most important incentives
toward the purifying and improvement
of the breeds of Angora goats raised
in Oregon, and no clearer or more
comprehensive idea of the rapidity of
this i m p ro vemen t ca n be obt ai n ed th a n
by noting the improvement in the
quality of the stock exhibited at each
successive show.
Every goat breeder in the state of
Oregon owes great credit to the
executlvecommittee of the Polk County
Mohair Association for their faithful
and untiring work in preparing for
this show and in carrying it through
to a successful close.

ASHLAND OUTCLASSED
Dallas Defeated Normal School Five
by Score of 88 to 5, Saturday
Night.
Basketball on Rollers.
The citizens of Dallas will have an
opportunity of witnessing something
entirely new in the way of basketball
Wednesday night, when the team from
the Colosseum rink will meet a team
from Newbergin a game of basketball
on skates. Although they Have never
played in a match game before, the
members of the home aggregation
stand an excellent show of winning,
as they are all skaters of exceptional
ability, and all have considerable
skill In basketball. The game will be
called at 8 :30 o'clock.
Simple Remedy For LagTlppe.
Lagrippe coughs are dangerous as
they frequently develop Into pneu
monia. Foley's Honey ana xar doi
only stops the cough but heals ana
strengthens the lungs so tnai ro
serious results need be feared. The
genuine Foley's Honey and Tar con
tains no harmful drugs and Is In s
yellow package. Refuse substitutes.
Mis3 Nora Davidson was in Dallas
yesterday, returning to tans cny
after a visit in Portland.
Although the lovers of basketball
did not have the pleasure of witnessing
a hard or a close game when Dallas
College met Ashland Normal on the
home floor Saturday night, they were
given the greatest exhibition of score
building that has ever been seen in
this city. When the final whistle
blew Dallas had 88 points chalked up
to her credit against Ashland's 6
points. Only two of the points for
Dallas were made on fouls, so that
they averaged more than a goal a
minute during the 40 minutes of play.
The Dallas five played easily during
the first half, scoring 29 to their
oppon3Dt'8 6, a,nd in the second half
they went at the game like a whirl
wind, scoring the remaining 59 points
with such rapidity that the crowd on
the side lines could scarcely keep pace
with them, but were forced to merge
their series of cheers into one long
roar of merriment and jubilation.
The Ashland aggregation, however,
took their defeat in good part, conduct
ingthemselves in a thoroughly sports
manlike and gentlemanly manner
during their entire stay in Dallas.
Although badly outclassed at every
point, they played pluckily and played
the best they could during the whole
game and cheered the victors heartily
at its close.
The line up was as follows :
Ashland Dallas
Hemdon forward Craven
Robertson forward Fenton
Spenser center Shaw
Howell guard Savery
Sayles guard C.Shaw
Niningee, of Ashland, acted as
umpire and Teats, of Dallas.as referee.
LEAP YEAR PARTY
Enjoyable Evening Spent at the Hos

LECTURE WELL ATTENDED
Professor Horner's Address On His
Journey in Palestine Attracts
Large Audience.
J. B. Horner, Professor of History,
at the Oregon Agricultural College,
delivered an excellent lecture on the
Holy Land at the Presbyterian church
Sunday night Professor Horner
traveled through Palestine three years
ago, and his lecture is illustrated with
beaufiful stereoptican pictures from
plates taken by himself during the
course of his journey.
The church was crowded to over
flowing and Mr. Horner held this large
audience in perfect attention for nearly
two hours, in spite of the fact that he
was handicapped in his lecture by
trouble with the stereoptican and by
several mistakeson the part of his
assistants.
Mr. Horner's speech Is easy and
colloquial, winning for him instant
and close sympathy with his listeners,
and the personal element that he
Infused into his address gave an
added charm to the already interesting
subject of travel among the historic
ruins of Greece, Egypt and Palestine.
The lecture was given under the
auspices of the Ladies Missionary
Society of the Presbyterian church.
A pleasant leap year party was
given by Miss Elizabeth Young at
the home of her parents, the Bov. and
Mrs. M. B. Young, Saturday night, in
honor of her cousin, Miss Lena Bob
bit, who is to leave Dallas in a few
days for her home in Kenesaw,
Nebraska.
The earlier part of the evening was
spent in games appropriate to the sea
son, and at ten o'clock a fresh party
of guests arrived in the persons of
some of the members of the college
basketball team who had been unable
to come earlier in the evening, owing
to the game between Dallas and Ash
land Normal. The ladies were then
commanded to select partners for sup
per in accordance with the time
honored custom of leap year, and a
delicious luncheon was served. Dur
ing the evening Miss Bobbit gave
several instrumental solos, and she
and Miss Young rendered a beautiful
duet.
Those present were: Rev. M. B.
Young and family, Mr. and Mrs.
Walter Young, Prof, and Mrs. H. H.
Dunkelberger, Misses Josephine Arm

The lecture on "Anglo-Saxon Grit"
delivered by Maynard Lee Daggy at
the Woodman Hall, Friday evening,
was greatly appreciated by all who
attended it, and is said to be the best
feature that has yet appeared in the
Lyceum course during this season.
Professor Daggy 's delivery was a
revelation to his listeners. An orator
of years experience, he carried himself
with an ease and polish that captivated
the audience. His presentation of the
subject was original and unique, add
ing afresh interest to facts that are
familiar to nearly every man or
woman of education In the United
States, and when he had finished his
address, there was hot a person in the
house who could fail to take pride in
the fact that he was of the Anglo
Saxon race to which the speaker had
paid such high tribute.
Those who went to the lecture with
misgivings as to the quality of the
entertainment that was to be given
them were quickly won over and con
vinced of the power of the witty and
logical little orator, who held the
interest of his audience unflagging
throughout a discourse of nearly two
hours duration.
It fills the arteries with rich, red
blood, makes new flesh, and healthy
men, women and children; Nothing

so much good as Hollister's Rocky
Mountain Tea. 35c, Tea or Tablets

HAND TORN FROM WRIST
r
Laborer in Black Rock Mill Fearfully
Mangled by Rapidly Revolving
Shaft.
Frank McCfeady, the 16-year-old
son of John McCready, of the Polk
County Lumber Company at Black
Rock, was badly injured Saturday
afternoon by being caught on the
main shaft under the mill.
A fragment of rope was wound upon
me snart, ana tne boy s nana was
accidentally caught and entangled in
it; The shaft wa9 revolving at full
speed and he was snatched off his feet
and whirled around twice at a fearful
rate, tne entire strain falling upon
the thumb and finger of his right
hand. Twice his body spun round
the shaft, and then the overtaxed
members gave' way; the thumb and
finger, together with all the muscles
and tendons reaching back to the
elbow were torn out, and the. lad was
thrown to the ground with his arm
broken in three places above the
elbow.
Medical assistance was called from
uauas at once ana tne sunerer was
brought to this city immediately by
special train, where chloroform was
administered and his arm attended to.
No other injuries excepting a few
Bevere bruises were found and the boy
is now resting easily with a fair assur
ance or rapia recovery, mis escane
from worse Injury, or even death, is
considered almost miraculous by those
who witnessed the accident.
EMINENT ACTOR COMING
Mr. Lee Willard and His Capable
Company Will Appear at Wood
man Hall, January 25.
Mr. Willard belongs to the new
school of actors. The new school is
really the oldest school of all, but it is
the fashion to say that when the actor
makes a departure, whose methods
3 '
ft
i
I
V
are natural, whose eyes are always
trained on truth, and whose greatest
triumps are the picturing humanity
as it is, and the expressing of the
greatest emotions without the resort to
vocal or gesticular exaggeration. Such
an actor is Lee Willard. Young as he
is, he has learned the technique of his
art in the best academy the actor can
command, the theater. He will be seen
in his new comedy, "The Country
Squire," at the Woodman Hall, Sat
urday night, Janaary 25.
DEATH ENDS SUFFERING

asleep.

was born in St. Joe County, Michigan
in 1871. Hs lived in that State until
1901, when he came to Oregon, where
he stayed with his brother until the
time of his death. He was the young
est of the five children of Mr. and Mrs.
Leonard Butz, of Michigan.

Saturday afternoon, and will take the

will be buried beside the graves of his
parents.

a most eojoyable social event. Music

towns were present, and the, young
people of Kickreall proved themselves
to be excellent entertainers.
