An excellent proposition Il offered
from man who wishes to establish a
woolen mill here. He has an option U
machinery that cost 100000 which he
can set up in this city for $4,000, plus
the cost OF boxing and shipping. which
he estimates at from $4,000 to $4,000
more, Ii any OF our business men are
interested. he win let them have the
machinery at the ten thousand.dollar
option price aud leave his status in the
enterprise to the men who put up the
money. He says the min will produce
as much goods as the Portland-St, Johns
mill. He believes he can show any par.
ties that may be interested that he can
make an investment out Of this mill
paying 20 to s5 per cent on $4,000 or
more, This mill was bought to boom
Coos Bay but so Tar ii is impossible to
get the necessary wool into that place
and win be until after milroad has
been completed. Even then Il will be a
difficult task, so It is stated.
This is probably one OF the very best
that has yet come before /,
the Chamber OF Commerce. should there
be any interested parties who would
like to take the matter up with the
writer OF the letters which are now on
iile in the otlice.

note and which might be turned to great
advantage here in Astoria Is the offer

tailed in Tacoma. Washington, in 1897.

months.

anitary pottery. 1t desires fve.aere I
ocation such that II could use both the q
ailroads and sea-going vessels from the \

'onus or inducements OF any kind and I
ssert that they will locate on the Pa.
life Coast at the point that proves the ?
most satisfactory after thorough in G
estigation which they propose to make I
we give them sufficiently encouraging /
nswes to their numerous interroga. &
ions. o
A San Francisco, California, concern, a

'aper mill that will manufacture paper v

n connection with any saw or planning
Mill, and all of the waste now considered y
thereby turned into profits. /
itch pine is as good as white pine. The
writer is very desirous of hearing from
ny interested parties.
