Manufacturing in Washington We saw
recently at the establishment of Messrs. w.
Ellis Bro, on the canal, between Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth streets, extensive saw
ing machinery and the steam engine to run
1t, for the Bayfield, Land Company Of Wis
consin, the seat of whose operations is located
about sixty miles from the west end of Lake
Superior. The same house has long been
manufacturing sugar mills with steam engines
attached, for planters and merchants in the
West Indies, Louisiana and Texas, until their
work has come to have a preference in those
regions over that of any other shop of the
kind In the country. They have recently put
up for the Star Office an engine of their own
make, which though one Of the most powerful
used in printing Office, anywhere, does its
duty with SO little noise that one twenty feet
distant, unless informed Of the fact, would
not know that steam engine was operating
In his immediate vicinity. The machinery
to which We allude first above, is as fair q
specimen of the success Of our countrymen in
the industrial arts as We ever saw being per-
feet in finish and material, as we'll as in de-
sign. We hail the employment of this house
to execute such an order from the far North
west as the beginning of a new era in the
progress of business in Washington, and trust
that many more of them may reward the ex-
ertions Of the Messrs. Ellis to manufacture ex.
tensively at this point.
