The only manufacturing industry Of which
this great interior can boast, with the excep-
tion Of one or two furniture manufactones,
consists of the WaIla Walla Foundry. and
We will say here that while the STATESMAN
has noticed this institution many times each
successive visit not only gives US something
new to write about, bat also strengthens
the impression We have always held, To- w.t.
that this city is well situated for highly pro
ftable manufacturing industries, when the
proper men are at - head. From almost
nothing the wslla Walla Foundry has kept
on increasing in size and reputation, until te-
day there are few foundries ON the Coast
which can excel it, and in very few years,
at the present rate Of increase, We can safely
say it will be second 10 none. We can all
remember the time when 1t employed but
one or two men; It wiu b, surprise to many
to know that now twenty skilled mechanics
| find steady employment there, and at the
rate work Is being rushed in from Oregon and
Idaho We would not be surprised If double
that number were working there by the end
of the current year. Since the fire few
months since the progress the boys have
made is something wonderful, and to-day
their foundry is monument OF their unre-
mitting industry. Trials they have had
which would have mired in the slough OF de-
spondency men Of less grit, but an un"aver-
ing faith in the grand future before this eCun-
try has cheered them Oh, and, ike the Phe-
| nix from its ashes, or the flower, safety.
grasped from the nettle, danger, each sue
ceeding misfortune has been met with an In
vincible determination to try again. Their
success is now beyond peradventure, and
the reputation Of the firm for strict integrity
and faithful work is fast becoming known
abroad. At present they are working on and
making the machinery for 4 large saw-miil
for Mr.. Scranton, Of Dayton. The mill viii
have capacity for turning out 20, 900 feet
| Of lpsaber per diem, and it is to be on a new
principle, in order that no patent can be in
| fringed. They have in the moulding shops
| a new furnace which will mel. more iron
with less enal-than any other on the Coast,
| and at the last casting they melted $500
pounds of iron in 50 minutes time. a large
new crane is being erected, and this week
mare machinery, consisting OF new double
geared drill-press and holt cutter will be in
operation MessrS Marshall, Jones L Rob-
! erts, besides being all first-class workmen
| themselves are fortunate IN having IN their
employ wOrkmen of the highest skill in their
trade J. Smith who is now working on the
frame of the new saw mill is one of the best
! workmen in the country and will soon make
| his name known. Sam Heller the moulder
is perfect in Lis business and no better
| moulder exists, he is at present engaged IN
moulding castings for Mr.. J. W. Shook who
will use them on his celebrated artificial
stone. The pattern maker w. C. Shonweitz
is Q master workman and besides is one of
the best wood carvers in the country. j. p.
