wooden trade and learned the bust
ness from the retail end, serving both
as seller and a buyer, dealing
with shoppers and manufacturers.
He was instrumental in establishing
several large retail houses that make
a speciality of handling the clothing
made from the products of the Sa-
lem Woolen Mills.
In Mr.. Kay's opinion, there is the
greatest opening on the Pacific Coast
for the manufacture of clothing. AT
present the products of the Salem
Woolen Mills are shipped to the
large cities in the East, made up into
clothing and then sent back to the re-
taller in Oregon.
Something About the Output.
The principal lines of manufacture
at the Salem Woouen Mills are blan-
kets, flannels, robes, and tweeds and
cassimeres. The principal market for
blankets is on the Pacific Coast,
though it is not an uncommon sight
to see "Oregon made blankets" adj
vertised in the large cities of the
East. The flannels are retailed
both East and West. Oregon made
flannels are the standard in the mar
kets of the United States, and by
many are considered the finest ma
terials of this kind in the country.
The robes are made in great va
rieties, but are sold mostly in the
West and very largely to the Indian
trade.
The suiting cloths made at the Sa-
lem Woolen Mills are among the best
in the country, and find ready mar
ket They are made up into the most
stylish and dressy suits for men. The
products of the Salem Woolen Mills
are all handled through jobbing
houses, and are ordered months and
sometimes years in advance, and are
literally made up to order, of certain
weights and qualities.
Pay Rolls and Market.
The Salem Wooden Mills have a
pay roll OF about 120 persons, dis
tributing about 100000 a year in
wages. They virtually support a
town of 1000 or 1900 people, and the
product is the second largest in the
state.
Nearly all the wool used is grown
in Oregon, five-sixths of it. 1t is a
well-known fact in the markets of the
world that for both coarse and fine
woods Oregon has few equals. Both
grades are as good as any raised in
the United States. The mills at Sa-
lem consume about 100000 pounds
a year, and the past year distributed
abOut S15O000 among the wool
growers of the state. Mr.. Kay goes
over the state in June and July and
buys the wool fran the growers.
The Salem Woolen Mills afford
fine local market for the wool
growers of the Willamette Valley.
Mr.. Kay organized company and
took over the Eugene Woolen Mills
in 1906, of which he is also manager.
His success in this industry enabled
him to gain the confidence of the Eu-
gene people, and for the time that it
has been in operation it has been
doing fairly we'll.

The Development of the Woolen Mill
Industry In Western Oregon

Owing to its abundant water pow
ers, mild climate and fine soil for
grazing sheep, Western Oregon is
the ideal place for the development
of the wooden mill industry. Here
it is literally true from the backs OF
the sheep to the backs of the wear
ers, our people are the best dressed
and best clothed people in the world.
The first wooden mill was estab-
lished in Salem in 1860. 1t was a
two-set mill, erected in North Salem
by public spirited men of those days,
who are now nearly all dead. The
mill then erected was destroyed by
fire in the early '70s. The founder
of the present wooden mill, Thomas
Kay, Sr., came to Salem in 1853 via
Panama. His family followed him
over the same route by steamer to
Portland, and then by team to
Brownsville in 1868 That year is
interesting to Salem people, because
Thomas B. Kay, president and man.
ager of the present woolen mills.
was born in 1864.
This mill was built by Thomas Kay
in 1889. He formed a stock company
for the purpose, and the first board
of directors were Thomas Kay, Squire
Farrar, G. P. Bishop, T. B. Kay and
o. P. Coshow. By the death of Mr..
Kay one vacancy was created on the
board and has been filed by A. N.
Bush, of Salem.
How the Business Has Grown.
The original Kay Mill was what is
known as a two-set mill with /
looms, and it was operated as such
until 1895, when a disastrous fire
overlook this industry and the mill
was rebuilt as a three-set mill, with
20 looms. The mill has been grad
ually enlarged until today it is onp-
Grating 80 looms, and is one of the
largest mills on the Pacific Coast.
The plant has been operated con-
tinuously for 20 years, except for six
months required to rebuild it after
the fire. 1t is the only mill on the
Pacific Coast that has been operated
continuously through two ,panics
and the only mill west of the Rocky
Mountains that did not shut down
in 1898.
Equipment of Manager
AS has been indicated above, the
wooden mill business is of a compli-
Gated nature, and the successful man
ageer must understand the business
from the purchasing of the raw ma
terial to the details of the retail
trade. He must be a good judge of
both wool and the finished products.
To obtain just such an equipment
has been the life work of Hon. T. B.
Kay. He was practically raised in a
wooden mill, working at it from his
boyhood.
He was educated in the public
schools at Brownsville, and for a
short time attended McMinnville Col
lege.
He had a practical training of ten
years in the mercantile business in
McMinnville and Portland, where
he got hold of the details of the

A record was established by the board
of state auditors last week at their
meeting, when sos claims were allowed
and nearly $40, 900 paid out.
The annual reports of the auditor
generals department have been COM
yleted and. delivered to the state. A
great deal of interesting data is found
in this years report.
Governor Warner has removed from
Office Alger J. Libby, supervisor Of
West Branch township, Marquette
county. Libby was found guilty Of
abusing the privileges Of his Office and
discriminating against certain contract
ors in regard to the payment for work
done on the roads of that county. His
successor will be appointed at the next

there were 2, BAT deaths in Michigan dur
ing the month of December, while A.
1853 births were reported. There were
296 more deaths in December than in

some sections, sportsmen and even
farmers have made efforts to protect
these birds by feeding them.
Large sums in taxes are being re-
ceived by Auditor General Fuller. and
placed in the state treasury. The taxes

a result the state is able to meet prom
ised obligations earlier than expected,
and without doubt, before the end Of
the week all obligations will be paid and
there will be money in the treasury.
Auditor General o. B. Fuller rear
ranged the new salary schedule in his
department with no hitch whatever.
The system Of keeping account Of the
clerks work enables him to make the
changes easily.
