COOLING PLANT INSTALLED
Dallas Meat Market Now Boasts One
of Most Modernly Equipped
Shops in the State.

The Dallas Meat Company now
boasts one of the most completely
equipped shops in the Willamette Val
ley. outside of the larger cities.
The machinery for the cooling plant
has been installed and is now in oper-
alton. A labyrinth of pipes winding
through the cold storage keep the
atmosphere at freezing temperature
at all times while the machine is IN
operation and make it possible for the
meat to be kept in perfect storage.
Two other pipes running into the front
part of the store pass through the
show case and fish box, serving there
the same purpose as the pipes In the
main storage room to keep the con-
tents of the cases cooled to a proper
temperature and to preserve them In
the best possible condition.
Should the company desire to under
take the manufacture OF ice, the addi-
ton of brine tanks to its present cool
ing equipment would be all that would
be required. 1t is possible that this
will be done in future If the require
ments of the business warrant sucn
action.
The motive power for the machinery
of the cooling plant is furnished from
a 5-horse power electric motor, which
serves also to drive all Of the othei
machinery in use in the shop.
Another addition to the equipment
of the establishment, installed las
week, is an overhead track, which
greatly facilitates the handling OF thu
stock brought in. After the dressed
carcass of an animal has been brough
in and hung on this track, it may bt
taken through the entire remaining
process of preparation for the marke
without further lifting. Special scale
weigh the meat while still SUSPENDED
on the track, and numerous subordl
nate tracks make it possible to run
to almost any part of the building b.
the mere turning of a switch.
The thoroughness and ingenuity o
the system of devices just installed t
make the handling of its buslnes
more rapid and easy, is highly credit
able to the enterprise of the men c
the company, and visit through tn
establishment to examine the newl
installed machinery is we'll wort
while.

SCHOOLHOUSE TO BE BUILT
Majority of Voters of Dallas District
Decide in Favor of Erecting
$4,000 Structure.


A new schoolhouse, the construction |
and equipment Of which shall cost not
to exceed $25, 900, is to be built in Dali
las this summer. This was the deci-
sion arrived at In the special school
meeting held in the Courthouse, We'd
nesday afternoon.
More than 100 taxpayers attended
the meeting, the plan to build and the
methods suggested for raising funds,
having aroused much interest and, In
many cases, created considerable con-
troversy.
The question of the location and
kind of building that was to be erected
was thoroughly discussed, any OF
those present who so desired, express
ing g[heir opinions on the subject freely
and fully. 1t was finally determined
that the plans, size and location for
the proposed schoolhouse. should be
left to the discretion Of the board OF
directors, to act as in their judgment
seemed most advisable.
The subject of cost was next brought
up and thoroughly investigated and
discussed. The motion to vote for a
building to cost not more than $25,000
was twice amended, the limit being
first fixed at $4,000 and afterward at
$4,000, but both amendments were
voted down and the $25,000 cost pro-
position was brought to final ballot.
The result was vote of 81 to AZ in
favor Of the plan.
Fl. G.. Campbell, clerk OF the school
board, says that a meeting OF the
directors will be called as soon as pos
sible and steps taken to get the work
under way at once, since 1t will require
nearly all of the vacation months to
complete the new structure and get 1t
! in readiness for the coming school
term. Interest bearing warrants Will
be issued to defray the expenses OF the
+ work and the voters OF the district
, NAV call an election at some later
date, IL they see fit, for the purpose OF
: voting bonds to take up the warrants
D issued.
a The plan to build met with compar-
: atively no opposition at Wednesday e
Z school meeting, the belief being almost
o universal that the increase In the
attendance Of the district combined
h with the addition of the High Schoo
grades made more school room ar
absolute necessity. The only point or
which the voters were at any grea
, variance of opinion, was in regard tc
= the amount required to build the nee
: essary new schoolhouse.
1t is the opinion of the members o
the school board that the expense o
: the erection OF the new building, In
= cluding the price of the ground OF
= which it is to be built, will not call 10
an expenditure of the entire amour
designated in the school election, bu
!, regards it as a safer method for tn
- sum voted to be sufficiently large the
there should be no necessity for cal
ing second election for the purpos
y OF extending the cost limit.
