OREGON'S BEST GOAT SHOW
Ninth Annual Exhibit at Dallas Brings
Out Finest Registered
Animals.

rEluay, tne last day OF the AngOra
Goat Show held in Dallas last week,
by the Polk County Mohair Associ-
alton proved to be fully as successful
as the two preceding days had been.
The crowd, already large, was aug
mented by 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 Riley 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.
The show was considered by all to
be great Improvement on those of
previous years both in the number Of
the stock exhibited and in the quality
OF the heeces. 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 improvement can be obtained than
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
executive committee Of the Polk County
Mohair Association for their faithful
and untiring work in preparing for
this show and in carrying it through
to successful close.
