hanced by the erection of large build.
ings in which to carly on tho processes
of the manufacture, and by the sppro-
priation of larger areas TO accommodate
the dwellings built for the employees.

sumption of articles Of necessity, COM
fOrs and taste, on the spot, and thus en-
larges the sphere and iutensihes the ac-
tivity Of tho various classes Of business
previously carried on, besides opening
q demand for several new kinds which
are generally attracted 10 community

tants.
(. The wages earned by the factory
hands are spent on the spot, and help TO
energize every material interest Of the

of the articles produced in the factory,
they become direct purchasers from the
manufacturers, .hus dispensing alsosesA-
sr with the profits extOrted by middle

Hero il Albany, situated in the
heart Of the fertile Willamette Valley,
with . water power rarely equallsd and
never sxcelled on Ihe Coast, and II our
citizens would take hold Of the matter
in the right way, We could make our
city the Lowell Of the Northwest, and
would reap all the benefits we have

il be brought about OF course capital
must bs attracted thither, but how is
il to be done such Q subject should
interest every one who has the good Of
our city at heart, and We should like
worry mach to zee il discussed publicly.
Who will start the matter BY explain
ing their views through the pres.i We
will very willingly give room In our col
umns for the views Of any Of our cisi-
zens. Let M hear from you.
