MANUFACTURING INTERESTS.
Towns throughout the great
Northwest grow to be places of
considerable Importance supported
only by the farming interest about
them, but beyond certain point
they can only be improved by
the introduction Of manufactures.
There are few points in Iowa more
favorable for manufacturing enter
prises than Independence, and al
though our advantages in this line
are not improved to the extent they
might be protitably, still our show
ing is by no means insignificant.
First the enormous production of
grain i'll this county places the mil
ling interest among those of first
Importance, and led to the organi-
cation in March 1867, of
HE lNDEIENDENCE MILL 90.
This company is composed entirely
Of citizens of Buchanan county. It's
original capital was ST, 200, but
this has since been increased to
$4,000, and the mills at Quasque-
ton purchased. The main invest
ment Of the capital Of the company
however has been in the magnificent
mill in this city, the largest and
costliest Touring mill in Iowa. This
splendid structure was completed
last year at cost of about $780,
600. 1t is G2 by 1l2 feet on the
foundation, and six stories in
height, or 107 feet from the bottom
Of the foundation wall to the top of
the roof. The foundations arc of
granite feet thick and set on the
bed rock Of the river. The super
structure is heavy timber frame
enclosed in an eight inch wall. 1t
is designed for ~ run of stone,
though but $ are yet in operation,
and has storage capacity Of $780,
coo bushels Of wheat.
In the line Of Iron manufacture
we have the
"sTAR" MACHINE SHOP AND FOUNDRY.
This is one Of our institutions which
from small beginnings is growing
into Importance to our city, and we
hope to abundant profit to its in
dustrious and energetic proprietor,
Mr.. G. 3. Rogers. The establish
ment has been heretofore a Foundry
alone, doing limited business
owing to the lack of capital and
PROPER encouragement. Last year
Mr.. Rogers ventured upon the cx-
pertinent of procuring patterns and
casting stoves. The patterns and
workmanship of Mr.. Rogers stoves
were not inferior to those brought
from the East, and his experiment
was so far q success that he has de-
cided to increase his facilities and
continue the business. In addition
he has the present season erected a
substantial building adjoining the
Foundry and procured an engine,
lathes and tools for q first class ma
chine shop, which he has already

An Ingenious SwlndIer ON his Travels.
Another of the horde of ingenious swindlers is
On his travels. Yesterday he called upon a lady
in this city and stated that he had visited her
husband at his Office for the purpose of giving
him draft for $1,000. Unfortunately the gem
tleman was not in, aud he was directed 60 call
upon his wife, whom, he was pleased TO observe
he then confronted. As an evidence of the
genuineness of his cause, he presented her with
this note, which had accompanied the draft to
her husband;-
BALTIMORE, NAY 1st, 1871.
Enclosed you will find my note drawn to your own
peIsonal order, amounting TO $1,000, PAYABLE at the
only. You will please pay the dues on the delivery
OF the package, and oblige,
P. S. You never expected this 50 soon. I. Il. w.
The draft called for $1,000 on presentation,
ard placed the dues at $3.50.
The lady did not want her husband to lose the
$1,000 for 80 90, and so paid the dues, received
In return the letter, draft, aud receipt from
Adams Express Co., and parted with the mes
senger, felicitating herself on the recovery of a
debt. What was her ineXpressibe chagru
when upon the return of her husband she dis
covered that the whole affair was swindle aud
the draft not worth the paper it was written
upon.
