New Industry for Dresden.

A new industry for Dresden is
the manufacture of the bows used
in automobile tops. These tops,
or hoops, are used in the top over
which the covering is fastened.
They are being gotten out by Geo.
W. Jeter and Will Shannon, who
have a large contract from a lead
ing manufacturer. Recently Mr..
Jeter got onto the demand for
these bows and at once got into
communication with parties in the
market for the strips out OF which
the bows are made, the result
being that he landed a nice con-
tract. They are being COTTON out
at Shannon's stave factory, the
timber being purchased in this
immediate vicinity.
1t is known, Of course, that for
several years Little's large spoke
factory has made nothing but
automobile spokes, the product
being sold before manufactured.
Mr. Little goes to Lansing, Mich,
annually and closes a contract
with wheel manufacturers for his
years output.
Who knows but that within the
next five or ten years Dresden
will boast an automobile factory?

Whether to stop the manual train

tons discussed last evening at the
monthly meeting OF the school board.
The extension of the department will
mean an additional building and.
while all of the members were agreed
upon the desirability OF adding the
extra course, the expense, it seems
probable, will form serious OBJ
stacle.
Chairman Brock and Director Tall

WORK ON NATATORIUM WILL
Be STARTED ON MONDAY
FINAL DETAILS OF PLAN ARE
COAIPLETED--ANNOUNCE-
MENT is MADE.

Actual work toward building the
natatorium at Roundup Park will
begin next Monday, according to an
nouncement made by the committee

rived home this morning from Port

the grade stakes so that teamsters
can start the work of excavating on
NJ Jnday.
This excavation work will be done
under the supervision of the COM
mittee while contractors are making

work. Thus when the contract is
let, everything will be in readiness
for the immediate commencement Of
the building work.
Chairman Bishop brought back
with him photos of the concrete pool
at Peninsula Park in Portland and
has them in the windows of the La
Dow store today. They give an idea
of the size and general appearance OF

the local pool will be more modern
and complete.

That plan having been given up, his
soldiers are on their way to defend
