ANOTHER FACTORY
Plant for Manufacturing Handles
VIII Be Established in Dallas.

Closely following the building of
the oak sawmill on the terminal
grounds Of the Dallas and Falls City
railroad in this city, comes the good
news that capitalists are making
arrangements to establish a handle
factory here at once. The plant will
be located on Mr.. Gerlinger's land
just East Of the roundhouse. Before
work on the building can begin, it
will be necessary for the city council
to pass an ordinance vacating a part
of the street running through the
switch yard, as the building will have
to be close to the railroad track for
convenience in loading and unloading
cars. AS the street now runs, there is
no available site for the factory except
the ground at the South end of the
terminal grounds, and this latter
tract Mr.. Gerlinger desires to reserve
as a location for large sawmill. If
the projectors of the factory, Messrs.
Hanover q Walter, receive assurance
that the site asked for will be given
them, they will begin shipping their
machinery to Dallas the last of this
week or the first Of next.
The business of manufacturing
handles for axes, plows, shovels,
hammers, and other implements and
tools, is rapidly growing in i'm
portance in Western Oregon, and the
factories already established find it
necessary to constantly increase their
output in order to keep up with the
orders received. The oak grub
timber growing on the foothills of
Polk county is conceded by experts to
be the best in Oregon for this purpose.
and hundreds of cords of it are
shipped every year to handle factories
elsewhere or the coast. The Newberg
factory, which has been successfully
operated for several years, obtains
nearly all Of its supply Of timber from
the foothills around Dallas. The new
mill to be built here will have great
advantage over all competitors, as it
will be located right at the scource Of
supply.
Messrs. Hanover and Walter were
induced TO locate their factory in
Dallas through the efforts of Presi-
dent Gerlinger, of the Dallas and
Falls City railroad. Tt was also the
good work and influence Of the latter
gentleman that secured the oak saw

WILL MAKE ONE EXHIBIT
Polk County Will Center Its Energies
on County Display.

The state commissioners OF the Lewis
and Clark Fair have begun the collec-
tion of a state exhibit, and are calling
on the people of the various counties
to assist them in their work. 10
stimulate interest in the exhibit, the
commission proposes to pay hfty
per cent of the actual cash cost
Of each county display, such
payment to be made upon being
youched for by the county court as to
such actual cash expenditure, but IN
no instance will a greater sum than
$500 be paid for any single county ex-
hibit. The commission will require
an itemized statement of expenditures,
showing exact cost of labor and pro-
duct. with an inventory of each item
of exhibit. Each County Judge in
the state has been notified of the action
of the commission in making this
offer.
1t is probable that the county court
of Polk county will not take up the
work of helping to prepare a state ex-
hlbit, for the reason that Polk county
is already collecting an exhibit of its
resources to be displayed separate and
apart from all other exhibits. When
seen in his office yesterday, County
Judge Coad said that inasmuch as
the work of making a separate county
exhibit is already under way, he did
not think it would be practicable fol
the county to assist IN the collection
Of a state exhibit. "Polk county is
called upon to pay a large share Of
the state appropriation" said Judge
Coad, "and it is hardly fair for the
managers of the Exposition to call up
on the county for additional aid ir
paying for a state exhibit The state
commission certainly has funds
sufficient to prepare a creiitable eX
hibit Of the resources of Oregon, anC
it should not call upon the counties tC
set aside more money for this purpose
If Polk county makes creditable
county display at its own expense
after paying its part of the $500,00(
appropriation, it will certainly have
done its share" Judge Coad says ht
sees no reason why individuals should
not assist the state commission, i
they care to do SO, by contributing
such samples of fruits and grains anC
grasses as they can spare; but he be
lieves that the people of Polk county
should center their interest in the
preparation of a magnificent county
exhibit for the big Fair, such as Mrs
Wolf is now getting together, anC
that all funds appropriated by the
County Court should be used for this
purpose. eff such a course is pursued
by all the counties in the state, there
will be display of Oregon products
in Portland next year that will oper
the eyes of the Eastern people," de
clared the Judge, "and each county
will reap its full share of benefit anc
credit for the work it has done anC
the money it has spent.
The OBSERVER believes that judge
Coad's views will meet the approva
of every citizen and taxpayer of Poll
county. The people of this count,
are friendly to the Lewis and Clarl
Fair and will lend aid in every
reasonable way in making it success
full, but they feel that in paying thei
portion of the state appropriation anC
making county exhibit besides, the,
are doing their full share.

He is in favor of the gold standard
But it will be noticed that he did
not declare himself until after the
nomination had been made and a
platform without a money plank
adopted. This was New York's

fooled Mr., Bryan and his followers,
and it now remains to be seen how
many of them will swallow the

The OBSERVER has had many
INQUIRIES from its readers for lntor-
nation concerning septic sewerage
and how the tanks should be built.
Since it has been demonstrated
beyond a reasonable doubt that this
system of sewerage is practicable
and desirable where other systems
are not available, we shall publish
information on the subject from
reliable sources from time to time,
believing that it will be appreciated
by such Of our readers as are con-
templating the installation OF a
service of this kind. The first
article, taken from the columns OF
the Oregonian, appears elsewhere
in this paper. While it is not
claimed that septic sewage tanks
are perfect; or that the discharged
liquid is equal in purity to spring
water, yet it is fact tha' TIE sys-
ten i safe rom d sanitary stand
point and that no harm is done by
allowing the discharge to soak into
the earth or to spread out on the
surface of the ground. In any
event, the septic tank is great
improvement over the vaults and
cesspools now in usein small towns
and country places where regular
system of city sewerage is not to be
had.

HAS A MODEL PLANT
Dallas Sash and Door Factory is
Well Equipped for Turning
Out Good Work.

AuOuS Tic many PINSPSt
facturing concerns in Dallas, a buster
scene is nowhere presented than at
the Sash and Door Factory, at the
foot of Mill street. Here ten men are
kept constantly employed in turning
out doors, windows, moulding and
shop work of all kinds to supply the
local demand and for shipment to
outside points. The machinery has
recently been moved to the new build
ing across the street from the old site,
and the plant is being enlarged and
improved.
The new building is one story high
and is large and we'll lighted. The boil
er and engine room adjoins the main
building on the East and is construct
ed throughout in such a manner as to
reduce the danger of fire to the mini
mum. All shavings and other waste
from the machines are conveyed direct
to the furnaces and used for fuel.
The arrangement of the machinery
in the new building could not we'll be
improved, the plan having been to
place it in such position as to turn
out the greatest amount of work with
the least handling of raw material.
The machines used in producing any
particular class of work are grouped
together so as to not interfere with the
operation of other machines at the
same time. The band-saw, shaper
and iointer are in one group, and the
sash and door machinery is in
another The building has trussed
roof and there are no posts in the
main room to interfere with the hand
ling of lumber. This is desirable
arrangement found in but few mills
in Oregon.
The two-story building formerly
occupied by the mill has been moved
to the south side Of the new mill yard
and will be used for storage purposes,
This building, taken together with
the lumber sheds already on the
ground, will furnish abundant storage
capacity for all the finished products
of the mill. A wide walk will be built
from the mill to the warehouse, so
that material can be easily and
quickly transferred from one building
to the other With increased ware
house facilities, a larger and better
assortment of doors, windows, frames
and moulding will be carried than
ever before.
The Dallas Sash and Door Factory
has long been one of the substantial
manufacturing institutions of Polk
county, and its constant operation has
contributed materially to Dallas
prosperity. Beginning with an old
style, secondhand planer, foot-poweI
mortiser, and a few other machines
of like character, the plant has been
steadily enlarged and improved un-
til it is recognized by mill men as one
of the best in the state. Skilled
laborers in the mill say that they
have never worked in a more con-
veniently arranged plant. FL. Coad,
the proprietor and manager, has a
thorough knowledge of the details of
his business, and personally super
vises the operation of the mill. He
has built up a good business in
Dallas, and is now prepared to
promptly fill all the orders that are
sent to him.

Two factories established in

The directors of the Dallas school
district are negotiating with Hon.
H. V. Gates for a water supply for the
public school building. The plan
under contemplation is to put stand
pipe in the building, with four fire
plugs and so feet of hose at each plug !;
one plug to be located in the base
ment; one in the hall on each floor,
and one in the garret. With such
a system connected directly with the
street main, any ordinary fire in the
building could be subdued instantly.
In addition to the fire plugs, lavatorios
will be placed in the basement, and
there will be a plentiful supply of
mountain water for drinking pUr-
poses. The proposed improvement is
a good one, and will meet with general
approval among the patrons of the
school. The health of the school
children demands a plentiful supply
of pure drinking water, and the hand
some and costly building should be
we'll protected from damage or destruc-
tion by fire.

Religion and the Bible.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
The infdelity and the unbelief of in
tellectual men are no longer openly en-
pressed, and boldly maintained fer it has
ceased to be Fashionable to fly in the
face of Christian belief. II is no longer
the mark of an intellectual man, or a
philosopher. to claim that nothing is true
that does not go on all-fours with rea-
son. with the theories of science Men
of this stamp have found various cor
opinions with more or less comfort to
themselves and to the word at large
Many of them recline in the arms of ag-
nosticism. Intellectually they have ar
rived at the point where they can very
truly say that they do not know and
they imagine that this attitude relieves
them of all responsibility. There are 9th
ers who comfort themselves with the be-
lief that a large and comfortable phi
lanthropy and a spirit OF humanitarian
ism are all that IS necessary to make
Christians of men. But there were phi
lanthropists and iIumanitaranS among the
pagans long before Christiani.y y dawned on
the world. Christianity is. indeed. the re-
ligion of philanthropy and OF humanity,
but is something also besides. and this
something else is what dfferentiateS il
from all other religions and all other phi
lisophies under the sun. Therefore, when
it is asked IL 1t is not a waste of life Ito

clines to believe that a whale swallowed
Jonah.' we reply that If we regard the
condition of our neighbor with the eyes
of Christian philanthropy and Christian
sympathy. 1t is becoming in to worry

New Medical Terrors.
From the Springfield Republican.

Bacteriology is raising new terrors for
employers under the employees compensa-
tion acts-at least in England, where the
lower courts have decided that the depend
ents of a workman v no died from an in
fection causing malignant pustule while
engaged in wool sorting are entitled to
damages under the employers liability
laws. as in the case of ordinary accident
not due to the laborers own carelessness
while at work. The bacillus from the wool
lodged in the workman's eye. and it was
contended on behalf Of the employer that
the case involved disease risk which was
to be distinguished from an accidental risk,
but the court held that the disease excluded
by law meant one which was already pres
ent in the workman, and there was nothing
to show that this workman carried a dis
es sc with him to his work. The Judge
could then see distinction in the prn-
ciple between being nit by deadly bacillus
while at work and being accidentally hit
by spark from an anvil or the accidental
squirting of a poisonous liquid into the eye.
1t is reported that the case is to be carried
to the house of lords on final appeal If
flying bacilh are to be classed with flying
fragments of breaking machinery under the
employers liability acts, a liability is in
CURED practically without limit, for there
are said to be no limits to the number

The New Woman.
rom the Portland osegonian.

From the Portland 0Tegonian-
One of the charges that are made against
the new woman is that she Is less SYM
pathetic than is her sister who abides
closely in what is called "woman's sphere"
But in the light of the above arraignment
of sympathy as the vice that it not infre-
quently is. may not the new woman .
confess judgment upon this charge and
strengthen her case and her position by so
doing? Woman has been called minister
ing angel, but would not a more practical
name better befit the women of the twentt-
eth century? Will not the services of
women to the world be greater and of moi g
enduring effect if they cast aside unreason-
ing sympathy as a worn-out garment that
discloses rather than conceals the moral
nakedness of those about whom il is cast.
and substitute therefor the armor of per-
sonal responsibility? 1t has been said that
there is a woman behind the door of every
mans success. IF there is" says the
writer, "rest assured that she isn't a sym
pathetic woman whining through the key
hole. Give IT up if it's hard but woman
of nerve and backbone who. like the
Spartan woman of old, is crying out, Come
home with your shield, or on IL. .

Foreign Fruits
From the New York Tribune.

New York fruit dealers do not lack en-
terprise. In some of their shops melons I'M
ported from Spain are now on sale. The
shipping of such fruit across the Atlantic
would have been deemed grotesque not
many years ago. But these dealers go even
further. They are tempting purchasers
with peaches from South Africa. and ask
only the moderate price of so cents each
for these products of the orchards in the
dark continent. We are all familiar with
hot house grapes and other varieties of
fruit. but melons from Spain and peaches
from South Africa are somewhat novel
