SHALL GRESHAM HAVE FACTORY? i 1 1 i : Proposition Being Considered by Commercial Club to Land one Here. What is rnacite? What i* it used for? Can <»realism secure tlie lacVrrv toxin to lie built in this part of the country? These are question* di*cuie*ed at the Commercial Club meeting in the Grange ball last Tuewlay mglit. Th* subject was pr»—eiited hv Mr. Pearson,president of the Macila Company of Portland,who came out to meet our eitiiena at th« in stigation of one or two who had lieard of the possibility of locating the factory here. Macit» is a building material, made largely from gypsum and is used for partition* m large office building*, boa- pitala, theatres, etc , and tor deadening floors. Mr. Pearson »poke of the coal of manufacturing and said it could be made to advantage in a place like Gres ham on account of cheapnea* of land and labor. A plant such as be proposed would give employment to from thirty to a hundred men. Of course there were certain condi tion* for the people here to fulfill and a committee consisting of H. A. Darnall R. R. Carlson and D. 8. Johnson t* now investigating to see if the oev-eaaary money can be raised. There was a good attendance and con siderable interest was shown in plans for advertising this section. Thousands No. 40. of hoineaeeaer* are coming to Oregon lo live and other thonsarels are traveling tfiroogh the stale but never a leaf of literature do they see telling the plain, simple truths about our beautiful seen- I ery and inviting opportunities for th« , farmer, gardner, dairyman or investor. A few weeks ago the clob offered a prize of $5 for the best descriptive arti cle on the product* and |*weibility of . this section, to be used for publicity purposes. D. 8. Johnson's article waa accepted and awarded the prize by tlie Publicity Committee. The club liaten- 1 wl to th* article rend at it* la«t n.eeting and authorized ita publication. Many inquiries are received every wees and thia will b« uaed in answering them. Other plan* were ■uggeetwi and favora bly received which will doubtless tie use.I later. It is the general opinion that nothing ia too g»**l to tell about our rewjnrcea, that there ia ample room and opportunity for all who come and that the simple statement* ol fwla will intereat all who read and lead maoy to seek a home here.
