WILL ENLARGE PLANT
New Building VIII Be Erected to
Accommodate Machinery of
Dallas Handle Factory.

W. D. Matthews came up from Port
land this week and will hereafter
devote his time to the management Of
his hardwood handle factory in this
city. He has purchased lot just
across the railroad track from the
present factory site and will begin the
erection of a large factory building at
once. He says the demand for oak
handles lis steadily increasing, and
enough orders are already in sight to
keep the factory running on full time.
Mr.. Matthews will probably make
an effort to enlist capital Of this city
in the enterprise by forming stock
company and increasing the capacity
of the plant. He says there is work
enough in sight to keep ten or twelve
men employed the year round, and all
that is lacking is money with which
to purchase the additional machinery
needed. If his efforts to form stock
company prove unsuccessful. he will
put in plant within his means and
gradually develop the business him
self.
The owners of the burned handle
factory at Newberg have given up the
idea of locating in Dallas and will
rebuild on their former site, having
received satisfactory inducements
from the business men Of Newberg in
the shape of $4,000 loan at low inter
est and free lights and water. The
Newberg factory employs about fifteen
men, and is an industry Of great
value to the town. Dallas is in the
very heart of the handle-timber forests,
and there is no reason why a handle
factory located here should not be
made an industry Of great importance
to the town.

FREE LIBRARY FOR DALLAS
Citizens Hold Enthusiastic Meeting
and Organize Local AssOcla.
tiOn.

The success of the move for free
library in Dallas is now assured. A
meeting of citizens was held in the
Firemen's Hall on Wednesday eve
ming, and after discussing the plan
for public library in all of its phases,
it was unanimously decided to form a
local association to carry out the work
without further delay. A subscrip-
tion paper was passed among those
in attendance and $40 was pledged
for the support of the library. 1t is
expected that this amount will be in
creased to 5000 by the time the solicit
ing committee shall have completed
its canvass of the town.
Officers of the local association were
elected at this meeting as follows
DR.. II. L, Toney, president; J. G..
VanOrsdel, vice-president; Mrs. T. A.
Riggs, secretary. Mayor Biddle, the
presiding officer, and acting for the
city, appointed the following persons
to constitute a Board of Directors :
J. @. Hayter, r. E. Williams, H. B.
Cosper, Mrs. F. H. Morrison, D. P.
Stouffer and Prof. D. M. Metzger.
This Board will meet in few days
and select list of books for the
library. Another important duty of
the Board will be the appointment of
Librarian. 1t is probable that the
Directors will not meet until the
amount of money that can be raised
for the support of the library is
definitely known.
Mrs. George 7. Gerlinger, who has
been active in working up interest in
free library for Dallas, was present
and gave detailed explanation of
the plans for carrying out the project.
Mrs. Gerlinger is giving freely of her
time and money in getting the library
established, and will make thorough
canvass of the town for funds to
maintain the library after it is once
installed. So far she has met with
hearty encouragement, and there is
every reason to believe that the re-
quired sum of money will be quickly
raised, 1t is the intention of the
association to have the library open
to the public before the winter season
begins.
