This made in Oregon idea is not new it has been talked and discussed for many years but it has been only a beautiful sen timent fully in the air, and it is tne idea now to make it practical , and Indupe the people to take it up in reality. We feel that Dallas is on the point of awakening and we are glad to see it. Why, it took five years e th. hardest kind of pounqmg 10 awaken Salem and now she is going fast.

Since the matter was brought to the attention of the Commercial ninh at its meetlnst last week, the special committee appointed from the club at that time haa been maKing efforts to outline plan to place be- 1 1 i. fore the club ror us cooperation, nu it annears now that it will , not be long before the local sales of stock will commence. The committee nam ed by the Commercial club Is com nosed of Georire Gerllnger, W. V. ul ir and W. A. Ayres. Mr. Gerllnger has made several visits to Portland lately to carry on the work or inves tigation for which the committee was delegated, and while the plans have not been fully matured, it is under stood that it is only a short time un til they will be. As published In The Observer at the time, wealthy Missouri and Kan- owners of cement manufactures have quietly acquired a large body of very fine cement rock in tne immedi ate vicinity of Dallas. They propose to spend $750,000 here in equipping a large cement manufacturing plant, on condition that local people sub scribe for capital stock In the new company to the amount of 50,000. . Subscription Asked. ThA Oreiron Portland Cement Com pany, as the new concern Is to be known, will be capitalized for $750. nnn Dallas neoole have been asked to subscribe a portion of that amount In order that weal money and men may be interested In the business. As already stated, tne com pany wished to sell $50,000 worth of stock here, but from an unofficial source It Is reported that the amount may Ire reduced to $25,000. It Is expected that the cement plant will employ between 200 and 300 men the year round, giving a pay roll of not less than $500 per aay. Chairman Gerllnger made a report of progress at the Commercial club meeting Wednesday niKm '.

Prospects for the establishment of a factory In Dallas for the manufact ure of an Imuroved form of Incandes cent electric light socket are extreme ly favorable, according to C. W. Min- nioh manaser of the newly organiz ed Adjustible Electric Socket com pany, of this city. As already pud llshed several weeks ago in The Ob server, the company is the owner of a patent covering one of the most valuable Inventions that the electrical world has seen in a number of years. It consists of a socket or base for the ordinary Incandescent lamp, wherein by an Ingenious and yet simple ar rangement, the intensity of the light . . i j . ...HI f rnm tha full may ie vr indicated candlepower of the lamp to complete darkness. A pull of the cord regulates the light with the same ease that governs the movement of a wick of the old style kerosene light burner. Many attempts have been made to obtain such a result ir, wtrle Ilahting. but this is tne first time that it has been accom- n.k. wtortrieal engineers ana electric light experts have examined its workings and have pronounced it entirely practicable. The invenior w the man who designed the well known "Hylo" electric socket which has neen on the market for a number of years and has had a large sale. Mr. Mlnnlch is now looking for of fices and for a factory site In this city and In an Interview with The Observer he stated that he expected to have the sockets on the market within the next six monts. AS soon as In operation, from 25 to $0 men will be employed, ana as iasi as vi sible the plant will be enlarged to keep pace with the demand for the output The sale of stock in the new com pany has been started and a number of Dalits business men have Invest ed In shares In It.
