A BIG ENTERPRISE.
Such is the Rio Grande WOoIen
Mills Of This City.
THEY ARE NOW At WORK.

A Citizen representative journeyed
up to the Rio Grande Woolen Mills
company's plant yesterday afternoon.
and had a pleasant chat with ]. c. Fer
ger, vice president and superintend,
ent of the company, and also took a
look around the establishment, The
company is now making some extra
good looking casslmeres, blankets and
| dress goods. They are also doing a
tanning business and deal In pelts and
make leather clothing Angora and
sheep skin rugs and moccasins, Sixty
hands are now employed in and about
the plant and the number will be rails.
ed to a hundred hands in very short
time. If everything goes right the
company will threefold their present
plant In the next eighteen months,
thus making 1t mammoth establish
ment.
The Citizen representative found
Superintendent Ferger busy with his
various duties. He, however. found
time TO show the scribe around and
tell him many interesting facts about
the business, of which he is thorough
master.
Very few people in this section of
the southwest have any idea of the
process that is gone through with be-
fore the cloth is finished The first
thing done is the soaking of the pelts
in watts outside of the building, which
softens them up. They are then TAX
en- into the building and the compost
tion is applied which loosens the wool,
after which 1t is taken from the pelts
and put into the securing machine
where il is thoroughly secured and
made ready for the drier. This wool
is then dried in eight minutes. The

is heated with coils of steam pipes and

less. This web carries the wool from
one end of the machine to the other
and requires eight minutes in transit
The machine has a capacity of 10000
pounds in ten hours. After the wool
leaves the drier 1t is put in bags for
shipping and for home consumption.
The wool to be colored is taken
from the stock room and dyed and
again dyed, after which it is taken to
the picker house and put through the
burr picker, which removes all burrs
and shives and foregn matter from the

Just at present. however, the wOrkmen
are mostly engaged in removing debris
and rubbing off the rough edges of the
picture so that pleasing view of the
grounds may be obtained President
Roosevelt and the ambassadors of for
eign nations will ride in the dedica-
tion parade over asphalt drives and
pass between the finished facades Of
six mammoth structures. A vast
amount of sculpture is in place In the
main court, and the flags of all ma
tions are being strung along the cor
nice line of the finished buildings.
In many parts of the city decorators
are busy putting up flags and bunting
and within the next twenty-four hours
the business section will blossom out
in a mass of color. The business dis
trict, however, does not monopolize
the decorations, In every quarter Of
town, in the manufacturing and resi-
dence districts, where neither the pres
ident nor any of the other notables
from out of the city will be likely to
CO. shops. factories and houses are
decking out in honor of the occasion.
In the most out-of-the-way corners
flags have been rigged out and por.
traits of the president exhibited.
Everybody believes that the celebra-
tion will draw bigger crowd to town
than ever gathered here before. but II
remains true that In hotels there is
usually room for one more. The South
ern, Planters and other big hostelries
are booked full for the next four days
and several of them are arranging
with boarding houses and furnished
room owners to send the expected
overflow to these places.
