CREAMERY FOR DALLAS.
T. S. Towosend, president and gen
eral manager of the T. 8. Townsend
Creamery Company, of Portland, and
A. A. Underbill, manager of the com
pany's branch creamery In Salem
were In Dallas Wednesday afternoon
with a view of orjenine a creamery in
this citv. Thev spent the afternoon
looking over the town and interview
ing the business men and farmers,
and also secured a location that
would be suitable to their business in
the event they should decide to open a
creamery here.
The two gentlemen had not beard
of the movement among the farmers
for a co-operative creamery, and as
scon aa they found that such an enter
prise was being considered, they
hastened to assure the business men
that thev would in no way interfere
with the plans of the farmers in
establishing such an Industry. How
ever, should the farmers decide not to
establish a creamery, they will then
be glad to take the matter up and sub
mit a proposition that they feel sure
will be acceptable to all concerned
They will take no farther steps toward
establishing a creamery here until
the farmers have held their meeting
next Saturday afternoon.
The Townsend Creamery Company
is one of the largest concerns of its
kinds in the Northwest The com
pany operates creameries in Portland,
Salem and Lyons; has cream stations
in nearly every county in the valley,
and also owns a large cheese factory
in the Nehalem country. Five thou
sand pounds of butter are manufac
tured daily, and during the summer
months several tons of ice cream are
turned out each week. A ready mar
ket is found for the product of the
various factories, at the highest mar
ket prices.
Mr. Townsend was very favorably
impressed with Dallas as a location
for a creamery, and believes that a
large business could be built up here,
if properly managed and closely
attended to.
It is reported that a movement is on
foot in Portland to refer the Oregon
Tax Commission's bUl on assessment
and taxation to the people by the ini
tiative. The bill was prepared ai
great expense by the commission, but
was defeated in the Legislature. The
bill contemplates the creation of a
State Board of Tax Commissioners to
handle all franchise and railroad
assessments.

Electricity for Lighting
Is only expensive to people who are
wasteful and careless. To you, who
are naturally careful, it does not
come high. .. -
It is economical because it can be quickly turned oft wnen not needed
With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let liht burn when
not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes
the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month
