Appreciation of the work of the
teachers in the Dallas public school
for the year soon to close was eX-
pressed by the Board of Directors at
regular meeting yesterday morning,
when all instructors applying for re-
employment were elected to serve for
another year The election was en-
tirely harmonious, and each director
took advantage Of the opportunity to
comment upon the faithful and effi-
cient work of City superintendent
Ford and his competent assistants.
In addition to the election of teach
ers for the public school grades, the
board discussed at some length the
need of still further improvements
on the school buildings and grounds
with the result that it was voted to
add more equipment to the chemical
and physical laboratories and to
grade and seed the lawn in front Of
the new high school building before
the opening of school next fall.
Add New Department.
Following the lead of the more pro-
gressive schools of the country, the
obard has decided to add Domestic
Science to the high school course the
coming year. One of the vacant
rooms In the big building will be Mt
ted up for this department. which will
be in charge of an experienced
instructor.
owing to the fact that some Of the
high school teachers have handed in
their designations. to take effect at
the close of the present year. the en-
ployment of teachers for these grades
has been postponed until the next
regular meeting of the board.

PROMINENT SALEM MAN
WRECKS HIS AUTOMOBILE
Sudden Appliance of Emergency
Brake Causes Disaster to
Machine.

Four rubber tires, a busted steering
wheel and the faintest suggestion of
an expiring smell, are all that remain
of a $500 automobile in which
Charles Livesley, the well-known hop
grower, started to make the home
ward trip from Dallas to Salem at a
late hour Friday afternoon. The
mishap which reduced Mr.. Livesley's
beautiful car to a heap of scrap-iron
occurred a short distance from the
Pierce home, three miles east of this
city The owner of the machine es-
capped with a few severe bruises
Mr. Livesley left Dallas about dark
and was driving at a furious speed,
with the evident intention of clipping
an hour or two from the usual
fifty minute schedule between the
Polk county metropolis and the Ore
gon capital. Residents of the Pierce
neighborhood declare he was making
one of Barney Oldfield's hair-raising
exhibitions look like an amateurs
half try as he burned a hole into the
night in the direction of the wicked
river town, where only a few Union
Street fossils object to their slumbers
being disturbed by the footing of
Louie Gerlinger's logging engines.
And then it happened. The car
stopped, and Mr.. Livesley-being in
somewhat of a hurry, as we have al
ready stated-went on. Twice or
three times the big machine rolled
over, and something less than hum
dred times rolled the driver. By
ISLANDERS solemnly assert that both
stopped rolling about the same time.
The chauffeur -owner being lighter,
rolled faster; but what the car lacked
in speed, it made up in strength, and
as a consequence the machine suf-
fered the greater damage.
Witnesses of the accident rushed to
Mr. Livesley's aid and found him
stunned, but not seriously hurt.
George Clanfeld, who was also driv-
ing on the Dallas-Salem road, was
one of the first to reach the scene.
Taking the victim in his car, he drove
hurriedly to Salem, where surgical
aid was summoned.
Saturdays Statesman says the in
jurles were very slight, and that, bar
ring a few scratches, Mr.. Livesley
next morning "had his usual hale
and hearty appearance.

For several weeks Charles w.
Mnnich, the resident director of the
company, has been selling stock
in the new concern, and when his re-
port was turned in to the board of
directors yesterday it was found that
a sufficient amount of the money had
been raised to justify the company in
proceeding with the improvement
without further delay
W. H. Abel prominent Portland
capitalist, and one of the prime NOV
ers in the enterprise, came to Dallas,
Sunday, and after looking over the
city, was enthusiastic in his declara-
ton that a better location for the
proposed factory could not have been
found in Oregon. Mr.. Abel was pres
ent at the directors meeting yester-
day afternoon and expressed his ap-
proval of the new project in the
strongest terms. Besides putting
money into the new electric socket
company, he declared his, intention
to investigate the opportunities for
still further investments in Polk
county.
Prepares Building Plans.
The officers of the company are
holding another meeting this after
noon to decide upon the style OF
building that will be needed for the
new factory AS soon as a decision
is reached, competent architect will
be employed to prepare plans and
specifications for the structure. The
directors will also choose a building
lot from several available sites that
have been offered, and a contract for
the construction work will be award
ed at the earliest possible date
The socket to be manufactured by
this company is the invention OF Ed
ward H. Smith, of Portland, oregon
In form il resembles the ordinary
incandescent socket, but it is so con-
structed that by merely turning II
one way or the other, the light may
be dimmed or made more brilliant at
will. When the light is turned low a
greatly lessened electric current IS re-
auired and the meter registers a cor
respondingly low amount of the
Juice" Experts declare that one OF
these sockets will save its price over
and over in a year. when a light is
used any considerable number OF
hours each day.
Mr.. Smith, the president of the
company, will arrive in a few days
and will assume active supervision OF
the construction work, and Will also
superintend the mechanical depart
ments after the factory is in opera
ton. He will move his family to
Dallas and will become a permanent
resident of the city. l~
