OUR MILL AND WOOL.

The editor OF the Salem Journal in an
account OF his trip TO the Bay says:
! met Mr.. J. q. Ashe, manager OF the
Aihany Woolen Mills. lie saix the Ai-
bany mill would probably run right
along. There was some distress and fin
ancial disturbance, as there was ia every
presidential year. The Albany mills are
in the hands OF a very competent factory
superintendent, Mr.. Patrick Mct5ee. In
1859 Mr.. Ashe went TO work as a cardsT
Ii Is two set mill. The Albany mill
was not a great success prior TO It's pres
ent management. but Mr.. Ashe seems to
be a man OF business ability and very

man and a good buyer OF stock. While
in st. Louis a large Iohber told me that
Western Oregon wool was acquiring
reputstion in the eastern markets that
would prove gold mine. IL was super
Tor TO other Pacific coast wool because
the herds had 50 much more nearly con
iinuous feeding than anywhere else IN

tied up our pastures would improve. Our
sheep did no. go from good pasture 10
starvation. as in Nevada. Idaho. Mon

Western Oregon wool had a continuous
even fibre without any "kink.' in IL.
There was no weak spot in the iibra. IL
was straight aud strong. The rains 10
winter were no deiriment. as every time
the sheep got wet il shook itself and
shook the dirt all out Of the fleece. The
wool OF Western Oregon that goes 10 the
Frisco market had almost the appear
ance Of clean washed wool. The nocks
here do not trail all day ia clouds OF dust
