Mr.. Duncan, Of the Decorah
Wooden Mill is entitled to credit
for his energy, enterprise and per-
|severancc in developing this import
amt element Of our manufacturing
interests. He has received new
machinery and working force and
with the new hands that have ar
rived and commenced work this
week, has about fifteen skilled
workmen, eight Of whom are girls.
His new self-opcrating spinning
jack is quite curiosity. 1t extends
nearly the whole length of the
room and has 24O spindlcs. The
forty horse power engine that runs
the machinery is a beauty and runs
more quietly than many small en-
giaes Mr.. Duncan has lately put
patent rocking CRATES beneath his
boilers resulting in great economy Of
fuel, a. he is now enabled to burn
slack more easily than lump coal
could be burned with the common
CRATE. The rocking CRATE requires
shaking but three or four times a,
day. In short it is proposed to-
have best machinery and work
laen, and to run the Woolen Mill
in full force. It is worthy Of lib
eral public patronage.-Decorah
