THE OAKLAND JUTEMILL.
Capitalists Say That They Do Not
Think the Factory VIII
Remove.

The removal of the East Oakland jute-
mills to Stockton is not nearly so much of
fact as the dispatches from that city in
dictate. The reason given that the Corral
Hollow Railroad will enable the iutemills
to obtain fuel at big reduction on present
prices is by no means sufficient to induce
a removal, as Oakland will receive coal
from the mines as soon as Stockton.
John Robertson, superintendent of the
East Oakland plant was shown the dis
patch yesterday and asked on what it was
based, but said he was not in q position to
say.
said he, "to get Oakland capital to help us, but
to no avail. We have tried every bank and
capitalist, but they seem to have no interest in
seeing enterprises of this sort in the city.
ave then turned to stockton, where the peo-
ole and capital are all alive to chances Of this
kind. When running here in the past we en-
ployed over 500 hands, oil white help. At one
time we had forty Chinese, but they were re-
placed by white help some time before the
works closed. The wages made amounted to
from $4,000 to $4,000 monthly. The plant
as IL stands to-day cost in round figures $780,
600. You know there was considerable new
machinery placed in 1t just before the mill
closed down. That was all of the latest i'm
proved pattern and would be very useful at the
present time if the mills were reopened.
''We can manufacture ut present, besides ell
kinds of grain bags, which at ruling prices we
would not touch, horse blankets, various kinds
of mattings, burlaps of all classes from thirty
to seventy-six inch vine Irvine and wool Irvine,
coffee bags, hop cloth, all descriptions OF ore
bags, borax bags, sugar and rice bags. There
is money in this class of goods for us. The
market for grain bags is controlled by Calcutta,
India, and they will keep prices down until
the mills are all closed, and then prices will go
away up as they were in 1875, when came to
the coast.
At present am not allowed to say much re-
gardfng our plans, but the people of Stockton
have Eastern blood in them and are very enter
prising They will no doubt arrange for our
plant to be taken there, and then Oakland will
find that she has let good manufacturing
business slip from her."
While Mr.. Robertson is undoubtedly
telling the truth in regard to the mills it is
known that the reason local capital has
not been attracted to the mills is the fail
ure to pay dividends. The coal bill of the
mills amounts to about $4,000 year,
but if this could be cut down half it
would not be sufficient inducement to
remove to Stockton. Oakland capitalists
regard the report from Stockton as little
scheme to frighten them into investing
against their Judgment. 1t was recalled
yesterday that when the mills closed
down some months ago the proprietors
claimed it was on account Of the tariff.

Whitcomb Brougher. pastor of large

Whitcomb Brougher. pastor of large
Baptist church at Paterson, N. j.
James W. Brougher is an Oakland boy
who received his early education in the
public chools of this city and graduated
from California College. His family still
resides here. There was q little romance
come cted with his college course at High
land Park. While studying for the minis
try he captured the affections of the ac-
complished daughter of President s. B.
Morse. Soon after his graduation Mr..
Brougher married, and he and his wife
went to the Rochester Theological Sem
mary, Rochester, n. Y, where they stud
led together for three years. Before
graduating from the Eastern college he re-
ceived call to the First Baptist Church of
Paterson, n. j., the elders OF that church
having been attracted by the Students
early signs OF ability. Though only 25
years of age, his work has placed him in
the front rank of successful preachers and
pastors. His large church, situated in the
heart of the city. is always crowded.
Rev. J. W. Brougher is an aggressive
pastor and has twenty-five different de-
partments of work in his chuch. 1t is
adapting itself to downtown work, minis
tering to the physical, mental. moral, So
cial and spiritual natures of the masses.
He has built up the two Sunday-schools
till their rolls number 1900, and his church
membership is nearly 1000. There is
general feeling in favor of offering Mr.
Brougher inducement to accept a church
in California, but he is so bound to his
Eastern charge that he cannot think of
leaving it.

Plans for Establishing Another

There is every indication for a lively

comply with that section of the town
charter which requires that any man
elected or appointed to Office must have
resided here for at least three years be-

arguments as basis for action, the OPP

There seems to be diversity of opinion
among many of the town officers in re-

some claiming that the residence pro-
