Independence.

On our return from Cedar Falls last
week. we halted day at Independence,
and learned, Notwithstanding the great f.
nancial pressure, that place is having a
steady growth. Between fifty and sixty
houses and eight stores have been erect
ed since the opening of spring. Messrs.
Campbell and LOOMS are also building a
tannery, which will be in operation in a
short time.
We found the stage house at Indepen-
dence-the Montour, kept by Mr.. Purdy

Tannery.

UuuCIys
EE Messrs LOOMS & CAMPBELL of
this place. are now engaged in the erec-
ton Of Tannery on Melone's Creek,
on Forrester's Addition to Independence.
The building. which is 20 by 50 feet, is
nearly completed, and Mr.. LOOMS in
forms us that they will probably COM
mence operations in two or three weeks.
Their design is to have currier shop
connected with the Tannery. and to pre-
pare and finish the hide, ready for
market. The process used by these
gentlemen is a purely vegetable one,
and is there fore free from the objections
to which all chemical processes are liza
BILE. We have seen sample Of Leather
tanned by Mr.. LOOMS, and as regards
smoothness and softness Of finish, can
pronounce it equal to any brought from
the East. Mr.. LOOMS has also tested
its durability, and does not hesitate to
pronounce the leather, in all points.
equal to the best. One Of the greatest
follies of which We have been guilty. is
that of sending of our hides to Eastern
Markets, allowing them to pass through
a dozen hands and pay dozen profits.
and then buy them back in the shape Of
leather or boots and shoes, when we
could just as easily have had them
tanned and manufactured here, and thus
saved the many profits going to the
various Eastern dealers through whose
hands they passed. We must commence
to manufacture. for in no other way can
we expect to retain any money in the
country. Now. every dollar we get is
sent East to pay for goods which might
and should be manufactured at home,
thus keeping us drained, pecuniarily. as
dry As a baked chip. Every attempt,
chen, at establishing manufactures.
should be hailed and encouraged as a
public benefit. aud we therefore hope
that Messrs LOOMS IL CAMPBELL will
receive such support from the people Of
this county. in their new enterprise. that
others may be encouraged to establish
other and necessary branches of Manu-
facture. 0 @3
