DALLAS GOAT SHOW
San Francisco Farm Speaks In HlgF-
est Terms OF Oregon .Angora
Exhibit.

A recent dispatch says that the
Oregon Annual Angora Goat Show at
Dallas, Oregon, given under the aus
pices OF the Polk County Mohair Asso-
citation, was one Of the most successful
exhibitions ever given by the Associa-
tion.
Exhibitors were present with their
stock from all over the state and the
expression was heard on all sides that
this show was larger and better In
every respect than any that has ever
been held heretofore. One hundred
and seventy goats were on exhibition,
about fifty moro than we're shown
last year. Goat breeders were in at
tendance from California, Montana
and Texas.
There is but one other annual goat
show held in the United States, and
that is at Kansas City, in connection
with the Royal Horse Show hence the
Polk County Mohair Association has
the distinction of giving one OF the
two annual shows held in the United
States. Orchard and Farm.

Flood Drives Ont dophers.

One good thing can be credited to
the high water along the lowlands Of
the Willamette river, that OF destroy
ing numerous gophers by drowning,
their quarters in the ground becoming
so saturated with water that they
could not exist. Many were thus
driven to the high places, only to find
the owners Of the land standing ready
to apply the cudgels to their heads In
manner that forever ended their
lives. On one farm near Corvallis the

GREAT MARC is COMING
Prince Of Magic WIN Appear at
Dallas WOOdman Hall on Tues
day, February 60.

Saving the best until the last, Dal-
las College will close its series of Ly-
ceum entertainments in Dallas on
Tuesday evening, February 26. with
the appearance of Marc, the Prince Of
Magic. This seasons Lyceum enter
tainments have been the best ever
given in Dallas, and it can be truth
fully said that there has not been a
dull number in the entire course. For
the last number, however, has been
reserved the real attraction, the great
Marc, who has mystif1ed and enter
tanned the people Of two continents.
Marc is man Of many talents. He
is a magician without peer, musi-
clan Of rare ability, an artist and a
shadowgraphist. Combining all Of
these accomplishments In one even
ing's work, he gives an entertain
ment such as has been attempted by
no other living man.
While producing the magic of the
Orient, Marc dons the costume OF the
ancient sorcerers or high priests OF
India, and gives a most realistic and
wonderful exhibition Of magic as per-
formed by the famed fakirs Of India,
His entire company assists him by
introducing music Of the Orient, pro
duced with genuine East Indian mus
ical instruments, making altogether
a most weird and fascinating per.
formance.
It is during the part Of the program
wherein he appears as musician
artist and shadowgraphist, probably
that Marc illustrates most forcibly
his wonderful versatility. His Saxo
phone Quartet, with Marc himself as
soloist, is complete musical organi
zation, and many high-priced con
certs do not furnish the public mor'
Of treat. Every member OF this
quartet is a musical genius, and th'
audience is regaled with numbers tha
delight the musical artist as well al
the one who doesn't know one not
from another
Among Maro's hydra-handed ac
complishments, his talent as a scenic
artist is most noteworthy. With
delig htfully refreshing accompani
ment of monologue and witty tall
on art, he traces in natures owl
colors large scene Of pastoral beauty
or of historical event, so delicate II
detail as to exemplify the finishes

single quarry in Polk county as there

thousand men are working today in
some OF the slate quarries Of Wales to
keep up the roof repairs Of London,

TO say that If 10000 men we're put to

Then, again, the time will come
when our highways will be macadam-

OF constant joy. The end of the mis-
cradle nuisance of narrow, iron-tired
vehicles is approaching, and, sad as
the prediction may be, we believe the
horse is also doomed. For the latter
prediction there are several reasons,
of which l will give two: First, in
the coming days of great population,
the soil must be used for the support
OF the people only, and the area re
quired to provide subsistence for q
horse is greater than that required
for an average family. Second, the
horse is destroyer OF good roads
and the time will come, no matter how
sacred the history Of this noble brute
when he will be cut off as a mean9 o.
locomotion. Then will come the won
ders of electric power.
The farmer will plow with an cleo
trio plow, with storage batteries
renewed from nearby plant, ant
instead Of hitching his horse to hi
old rattle-trap, narrow-tired vehicle
and driving to market, thereby de
stroying more road than he built dur
ing the season, he will step into hi
rubber-tired conveyance, pull th'
lever, and be off for town on ma
cadam highway where it will mean
fine to allow a horse or COW to sci
their feet. Then, when the roads ar
once made of good material, they will
always remain good,
