DALLAS. OREGON. TUESDAY. MAY 21, 1912
DALLAS GETS IB
INDUSTRY i
ELECTRIC SOCKET COMPANY TO
BUILD FACTORY HERE.
Board of Directors Divides to Iiusli
Construction Work ami Begin Op
erations This Summer.
Dallas gets the electric socket fac
tory. This good news was given out
late yesterday afternoon, following- a
meeting of the Imard of directors kf
the Adjustable Electric Socket coni
puny. ' ' ! "
For several weeks Charles V
Minnlch, the resident director of the
company, has been selling stock
In the new concern, and when his re
port was turned in to the board of
directors yesterday it was found that
a sufficient amount of the money had
been raised to justify the companyin
proceeding with the improvement
without further delay.
W. H. Abel, a prominent Portland
capitalist, and one of the prime mov
ers in the enterprise, came to Dallas,'
Sunday, and after looking over the
city, was enthusiastic in his declara
tion that a better location for the
proposed factory could not have been
found In Oregon. Mr. Abel was pres
ent at the directors' meeting yester
day afternoon and expressed his ap
proval of the new project In the
strongest terms. Besides! , i putting
money Into the new electric . socket
company, he declared his intention
to Investigate the opportunities for
still further investments in Polk
county. ,
Preares Building Plans.
The officers of the company are
holding another meeting this after
noon to decide upon the style of
building that will be needed for the
new factory. As soon as a decision
is reached, a competent architect will
be employed to prepare plans and
specifications for the structure. The
directors wil also choose a building
lot from several available sites that
have been offered, and a contract for
the construction work will be award
ed at the earliest possible date
The socket to be manufactured by
this company is the invention of Ed
ward H. Smith, of Portland, Oregon.
In form.it resembles the ordinary
Incandescent socket, but it is so con
rncted that by merely turning it
one way or the other, the light may
be dimmed or made more brilliant at
will. When the light Is turned low, a
greatly lessened electric current Is re
quired and the meter registers a cor
respondingly low amount of the
"juice."' Experts declare that one of
these sockets will save Its price over
and over In a year, when a light Is
used any considerable number of
hours each day.
Mr. Smith, the president of the
company, will arrive in a few days
and will assume active supervision oi
the construction work, and will also
superintend the mechanical depart
ments after the factory opera
tion. He will move his family to
Dallas and will become a permanent
resident of the city.

PROMINENT SALEM MAN
WRECKS HIS AUTOMOBILE
Sudden Appliance of Emergency
Brake Causes Disaster to
Machine.
Four rubber tires, a busted steering
wheel and the faintest suggestion of
an expiring smell, are all that remain
of a $1500 automobile in which
Charles Liveslcy, the well-known hop-
grower, started to make the home
ward trip from Dallas to Salem at a
late hour Friday afternoon. The
mishap which reduced Mr. Llvesley's
beautiful car to a heap of scrap-iron
occurred a short distance from the
Pierce home, three miles east of this
city. The owner of the machine es
caped with a few. severe bruises.
Mr. Livesley left Dallas about dark
and was driving at a furious speed
with the evident intention of clipping
an hour or two from the usual
fifty minute schedule between the
Polk county metropolis and the Ore
gon capital. Residents of the. Pierce
neighborhood declare he was making
one of Barney Oldfield's hair-raising
exhibitions look like an amateur's
half try as he burned a hole into the
night In the direction of the wicked
river town, where only a few Union
Street fossils object to their slumbers
being disturbed by the tooting of
Louie Gerllnger's logging engines.
And then it happened. The car
stopped, and Mr. Livesley being In
somewhat of a hurry, as we have al
ready stated went on. Twice or
three times the big machine rolled
over, and something less than a hun
dred times rolled the driver. By
standers solemnly assert that both
stopped rolling about the same time.
The chauffeur-owner, being lighter,
rolled faster; but what the car lacked
In speed, it made up in strength, and
as a consequence the machine suf
fered the greater damage.
Witnesses of the acident rushed to
Mr. Llvesley's aid and found him
stunned, but not seriously hurt.
George Clanfleld, who was also drlv-
Inir ort the Dallas-Salem road, was
one of the first to reach the scene.
Taking the victim In his car, he drove
hurriedly to Salem, where surgical
aid was summoned. '
Saturday's Statesman , says the In
juries were very slight, and that, bar
ring a few scratches, Mr. Livesley
next morning "had his usual hale
and hearty appearance."
Wedding Anniversary.
The fifth wedding anniversary of
Mr. and Mrs. E. V. D. Paul was cele
brated on May 12, at their beautiful
LtfSal Ranch home near Buell. In
vitations were extended to eighteen
inflmnte friends and the unique an
nouncements called for some guessing
on the part of the guests.
At the dinner hour after a short
march out of door, the host and
1 ostess led the way to a rustl.; sum
m r house where covers were laid for
! guests, and the tables nicel?' dec
orated for the occasion. Very unl(ut
.v a teven-cour.e dinner was sji-ed.
interspersed with many witty and
orig.nal sayings.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul were the recip
ient, of several piece, of nice f i.n'
!ure and of two statuette, of them
selves, nearly life slse, and uo nearly
perfect In feature and stature as t,
;.uz!e the most critical. The day
fxtm mi lonf to be remembers 1 by
all. and the guest, departed wishing
thff host and ho.te.. many more
equally a. happy ' anniversaries.

In the resolution, "that we demana
an eight-hour day for the wage work

were fulfilled, how would the dairy
men, the farmer and other employers
of monthly help come out at the end
of the year? There would be little
doing In the dairy yard when the
cows were milked at t o'clock In the

Such elysian pleasure, are nice to

Appreciation of the work of the
teachers In the Dallas public school
for the year soon to close was ex
pressed by the Board of Directors at
a regular meeting yesterday morning,
when all instructors applying for re
employment were elected to serve for
another year. The election was en
tirely harmonious, and each director
took advantage of the opportunity to
comment upon ,the faithful and effi
cient work of City Superintendent
Ford and his competent assistants. '
In addition to the election of teach
ers for the public school grades, the
board discussed at some length the
need of still further improvements
on the school buildings and grounds,
with the result that it was voted to
add more equipment to the chemical
and physical laboratories and to
grade and seed the lawn In front of
the new high school building before
the opening of school next fall.
Add Xew Department.
Following the lead of the more pro
gresslve' schools of the country, the
obard has decided to add Domestic
Science to the high school course the
coming year. One of the vacant
rooms In the big building will be fit
ted up for this department, which will
be In charge of an experienced
Instructor.
Owing to the fact that some of the
high school teachers have handed In
their resignations, to take effect at
the close of the present year, the em
ployment of teachers for these grade.
has been postponed until the next
regular meeting of the board.
