Twenty years ago it was an expert
mept to manufacture woolens for even
the home market in Oregon or WASH
ington. Some factories failed, closed
up and stood idle for five, ten, fifteen or
more years. Others pushed on and sue
ceeded. Now the business is estab-
lished. Home goods supply home and
inter- State demands. A few firms have
won wealth and fame as pioneer wool
en- manufacturers. The annual raw
wool product Of Oregon and Washing
ton has increased from 100000 to 81
600, 900 pounds, and over one-sixth of
1t is woven here into fabrics. The day
of experiment is passed for this indus
try. The time is near for it to require
a large part of our home woods and
many millions of foreign to feed the
looms and fill the orders. The immi-
grants will be great consumers of these
fabrics. The Asiatics will require all
they can buy and pay for. Our position
favors rapid increase of this business.
Suppose its present pay roll for labor
alone to be $4,000 per month, which
is low estimate. the annual sum would
be S240,000. Yet wooden manufactures
in Oregon and Washington are in their
infancy. They can extend without linn

sat down in chair and began divesting
himself of his shoes.
