Th Pallas Observer takes a
Salem paper to task for claiming
Salem as the goat ceuter of Ore
gon. The Salem paper evi
dently meant the Capital City is
a central place for two-legged
buttinskies hut nol for Angora
goats. There is not an attache
of a paper in Oregon from
"devil" to editor but knows Tolk
county leads in fine goats and
the sale of mohair. Or if such
inexcusable ignorance does exist,
the paper for its own protection,
better fire somebody.
