FACTORY PEOPLE ARE EX PECTED.

The Commercial Club expects the Chicago people here this week to take up the factory proposition with them, and a public meeting will be held to consider their proposition. The company are just starting out and they manufacture a dust consumer for boilers, consisting of a fan which sucks up the sawdust, shavings, etc., in planing mills, box factories, etc., and carries it to the furnaces under the boilers. They will also manufacture a smoke consumer, we understand, and will start with about 20 men, which they expect to add to as their business expands. A bonus will be asked, we understand, and ten acres of ground, the bonus not to be paid nor title to land to pass until a certain amount of money has been paid out here in wages. No definite proposition has yet been - made, however. The officers of the Commercial Club who have investigated the proposition seem to be well pleased with it.
