LAST WEEK a reporter of the STATES
MAN accompanied one of the Cham
bers Brothers down to the mill they are
putting up on the bank of the river
below the city. The stone foundation
and heavy framework of the mill are
up and they expect to have the estao-
lishment in readiness for business by
the fifteenth of March. They have a
contract with John Webster, of De-
tIoit, for machinery that will make 125
barrels of good -four every twenty -four
hours, and the mill is being construct
ed under the instruction of Mr.. Web
ster. The race hes been blasted out
and completed and now the dam is be-
ing repaired and raised about two feet,
which will give greatly increased
power. The MessIs. Chambers will
have hundred times more power than
they need, ard with it they will be
able to irrigate the rich Colorado val
ley for miles below the city. With
the use of force pump, which they
could operate by the same power, they
could even force water up to and all
through the city. They are the kind
of men to benefit and build up a
city, practical, energetic and daring.
They not only superintend and direct
everything, but all four of them take
hold and work from sun to sun. It is
probable that the building of this mill
and the utilizing of the Colorado for
power to turn heavy machinery and to
irrigste one of the richest valleys in the
State will not only double the price of
river lands below the city, but stimu-
late the manufacturing interests about
Austin. The Legislature, before ad-
jaurning, should appoint committee to
visit this mill and report upon the
practicability of utilizing the Colorado
ana other streams for power purposes.
The manufacturing interest is one in
which all classes of citizens are IN
terested, and if our State is ever to be-
come especially prosperous and great
that interest must be looked into and
encouraged. 1t is estimated that every
horse power brings and supports fifty
operatives, which at once illustrates
the usefulness and influence en- place |
of manufactures
