DALLAS, OIJKOON, JULY 1"). 1904.
The way to build up Dallas is to pat
ronize Dallas people.
The OiiSERVER has had many
inquiries from its readers for infor
mation concerning septic sewerage
and how the tanks should be built.
Since it has been demonstrated
beyond a reasonable doubt that this
system of sewerage is practicable
and desirable where other systems
are not available, we shall publish
information on the subject from
reliable sources from time to time,
believing that it will be appreciated
by such of our readers as are con
templating the installation of a
service of this kind. The first
article, taken from the columns of
the Oregonian, appears elsewhere
in this paper. While it is not
claimed that septic sewage tanks
are perfect, or that the discharged
liquid is equal in purity to spring
water, yet it is a fact th4 the sys
tem s&fe'iYom a sanitary stand
point and that no harm is done by
allowing the discharge to soak into
the earth or to spread out on the
surface of the ground. In any
event, the septic tank is a great
improvement over the vaults and
cesspools now in use in small towns
and country places where a regular
system of city sewerage is not to be
had.
We shall await with no anxiety,
but with serene confidence that
they will be equal to any and
every emergency, the coming to
Portland on July 22 of such
stanch gold-standard Democrats
us Judge Alfred Silas Bennett,
Judge William Galloway, Hon.
W. R. Hilyeu, Hon. M. A. Miller,
Colonel Robert A. Miller, Hon.
W. R. King and Hon. Sam White,
to tell how happy they are on the
triumphant nomination of Judge
Parker and the glorious vindication
of the principles of Jefferson and
Bryan. Oregonian.
County School Superintendent
C. L. Starr will begin the publi
cation of a monthly school journal
about the first of October He has
arnestly worked during his admin
istration to bring the school and
the home into closer relation, and
by means of a live, wide-awake,
school paper, much may be accom
plished. Superintendent Starr does
nothing by halves, and we bespeak
for him success and liberal
(encouragement.
The sphinx of Esopus has spoken,
lie is in favor of the gold standard.
But it will be noticed that he did
not declare himself until after the
nomination had been made and a
platform without a money plank
adopted.' This was Now York's
program. The trick completely
fooled Mr. Bryan and his followers,
and it now remains to be seen how
many of them will swallow the
dose prepared for them.
Judge Parker is an avowed gold
standard man, and yet Bryan an
nounces that he will support him.
How can the Boy Orator of the
Platte find his consent to press
lown upon the brow of labor this
Crown of Thorns? Who would
have thought that W. J. would ever
be willing tocrueify mankind upon
a Cross of Gold?
Two factories established in
Dallas within a month. Well, that's

WILL MAKE ONE EXHIBIT
Polk County Will Center Its Energies
on County Display.
The state com nrissioners of the Lewis
and Clark Fair have begun the collec
tion of a state exhibit, and are calling
on the people of the various counties
to assist them in their worK. io
stimulate Interest in the exhibit, the
commission proposes to pay fifty
per cent of the actual cash cost
of each county display, such
payment to be made upon being
vouched for by the county court as to
such actual cash expenditure, but in
no instance will a greater sum than
$500 be paid for any single county ex
hibit. The commission will require
an itemized statementof expenditures,
showing exact cost of labor and pro-
duct.with an inventory or each item
of exhibit. Each County Judge in
the state has been notified of the action
of the commission in making this
offer.
It is probable that the county court
of Polk county will not take up the
work of helping to prepare a state ex
hibit, for the reason that Polk county
ia already collecting an exhibit of its
resources to be displayed separate and
apart from all other exhibits. When
seen in his office yes-terday, County
Judge Coad said that inasmuch as
the work of making a separate county
exhibit is already under way, he did
not think it would be practicable for
the county to assist in the collection
of a state exhibit. "Polk county is
called upon to pay a largo share of
the state appropriation," said Judge
Coad, "and it is hardly fair for the
managers of the Exposition to call up
on the county for additional aid in
paying for a state exhibit. The state
commission certainly has funds
sufficient to prepare a creditable ex
hibit of the resources of Oregon, and
it should not call upon the counties to
sot aside more money for this purpose.
If Polk county makes a creditable
county display at its own expense,
after paying its part of the $500,000
appropriation, it will certainly have
done its share." Judge Coad says he
sees no reason why individualsshould
not assist the state commission, if
they care to do so, by contributing
such samples of fruits and grains and
grasses as they can spare; but he be
lioves that the people of Polk county
should center their interest in the
preparation of a magnificent county
exhibit for the big Fair, such as Mrs.
Wolf is now getting together, and
that all funds appropriated by the
County Court should be used for this
purpose. "If such a course is pursued
by all the counties in the state, there
will be a display of Oregon products
in Portland next year that will open
the eyes of the Eastern people," de
clared the Judge, "and each county
will reap its full share of benefit and
credit for the work it has done and
the money it has spout."
The Observer believes that Judge
Coad's views will meet the approval
of every citizen and taxpayer of Polk
county. The people of this county
are friondly to the Lewis and Clark
Fair and will lend aid in every
reasonable way iu making it success
ful, but they feel that in paying their
portion of the state appropriation and
making a county exhibit besides, they
are doing their full share.
ANOTHER FACTORY
Plant for Manufacturing Handles
Will Be Established In Dallas.
Closely following the building of
the oak sawmill on the terminal
grounds of the Dallas and Falls City
railroad in this city, comes tho good
news that capitalists are making
arrangements to establish a handle
factory here at ouce. The plant will
bo located on Mr. Gerliuger's land
just East of the roundhouse. Before
work ou tho building can begin, it
will be necessary for the city council
to pass an ordinance vacating a part
of the street running through the
switch yard, as the building will have
to bo close to the railroad track for
convenience in loading and unloading
cars. As tho street now ruus, there is
no available site for the factory except
tho ground at tho South end of tho
terminal grounds, and this latter
tract Mr. Gerlinger desires to reserve
as a location for a large sawmill. If
the projectors of the factory, Messrs.
Hanover & Walter, receive assurance
that the site asked for will bo given
thorn, they will begin shipping their
machinery to Dallas the last of this
week or the first of next.
The busiuess of manufacturing
handles for axes, plows, shovels,
hammers, and other implements and
tools, is rapidly growing in im
portance iu Western Oregon, and the
factories already established find it
necessary to constantly increase their!
output in order to keep up with the
orders received. Tho oak grub j
timber growing ou the foothills ofj
Polk county is conceded by experts to ;
ho the best iu Oregon for this purpose, !
and hundreds of cords of it are!
elsewhere oc tho coast. The Xewberg
factory, which has been successfully
operated for several years, obtains
nearly all of its supply of timber from
the foothills around Dallas. The new
mill to be built here will have a great
advautage over all competitors, as it
will be located right at the seoureeof
supny. j n
Messrs. Hanover and Walter were j
induced to locate their factory in j
Dallas through the efforts of Presi- j
dent Gerlinger, of the Dallas andlsj
Falls City railroad. It was also the If"!
good work and influence of tho latter! 1

Well Equipped for Turning

Is
Amonsthe many prosperous man u-
facturing concerns in Dallas, a busier
scene is uownere preseuicu
. . i,l k. n
the Sash and Door Factory, at the
foot of Mill street. Here ten men are
kept constantly employed in turning
out doors, windows, moulding anu
shop work of all kinds to supply the
local demand and for shipment to
outside points. The machinery has
recently been moved to tho new build-
incr across the street from the oia site,
and the plant is being enlarged and chui.'ch) R 'E Williams, Jotm Hol
iraproved. I man Adm'r of Nat Holman Estate,
The new building is one story high -Mrg Jr Hllbbardi K, c. Craven,
and is large and well lighted. The boil- charles McDonald, Mrs. E. S. Levens,
er and engine room adjoins tne main
building on the Last and is construct-
ed throughout in such a manner as io
reduce the danger of fire to the mini
mum. All shavings and other waste
from the machines are conveyed direct
to the furnaces and used for fuel.
The arrangement of the machinery
in the new building could not well be
improved, the plan having been to
place it in such a position as to turn
out the greatest amount of work with
the least handling of raw material.
The machines used in producing any
. I
particular ciass oi worn ai &v
together so as to not interfere with the
operation oi oiuer mnuuiuw ul mo
same time. Tho band-saw, snaper
and jointer are in one group, and the
sash and door machinery is in
another. The building has a trussed
roof and there are no posts in the
main room to interfere with the hand
ling of lumber. This is a desirable
arrangement found in but few mills
in Oregon.
The two-story building formerly
occupied by the mill has been moved
to the south side of the new mill yard
and will be used for storage purposes.
This building, taken together with
the lumber sheds already on the
ground, will furnish abundant storage
capacity for all the finished products
of the mill. A wide walk will be built
from the mill to the warehouse, so
that material can be easily and
quickly transferred from onebuilding ,
to the other. With increased ware
house facilities, a larger and better
assortment of doors, windows, frames
and moulding will be carried than
ever before.
The Dallas Sash and Door Factory
has long been one of the substantial
manufacturing institutions of Polk
county, and its constant operation has
contributed materially to Dallas'
prosperity. Beginning with an old
style, second-hand planer, a foot-power
mortiser, and a few other machines
of like character, the plant has been
steadily enlarged and improved un
til it is recognized by mill men as one
of the best in the state. Skilled
laborers in the mill say that they
have never worked in a mote conr
veniently arranged plant. F. J. Coad, i
the proprietor and manager, has a
thorough knowledge of the details of
his business, and personally super-:
vises tho operation of the mil. He
has built up a good business in :
Dallas, and is now prepared to
promptly fill all the orders that are
sent to him. I
The directors of the Dallas school
district are negotiating with Hon.
H. V. Gates for a water supply for the
nublic school buildinsr. The plan
undercontemplationistoputastand-
pipe in the building, with four fire
plugs and 50 feet of hose ateach plug;'
one plug to be located in the base-
mcnt:onein the hall on each floor. I
and one in the garret. With such
a system connected directly with the
street main, any ordinary fire in the
building could be subdued instantly.
In addition tothefiro plugs, lavatories
will be placed iu the basement, and
there will bo a plentiful supply of
mountain water for drinking pur
poses. The proposed improvement is
a good one, and will meet with general
approval among tho patrons of the
school. The health of the school
children demands a plentiful supply
or pure drinking water, and the hand
sime and costly building should be
well protected from damage or destruc
tion bv fire.
