paign. Mark is the solid American
Mark Hanna type of man. He is big
hearted and generous to fault and
made only one bad break Of political
Judgment in my Opinion-he supported |
what the 0regonian called "that un-
speakable Hofer" for governor at the
primary Of 1910.

Gideon Stolz of Salem is one of the |
pioneer manufacturers of Oregon. He
has established three industries and |
two of them are running at Salem
the pickle and vinegar factory and the
fruit spray factory. A factory is run
ming at Portland founded by him and
was only taken away from Salem be-
cause Salem people would not take
stock in the same. All three indus
tries founded by him are making money
and he has been public benefactor
to that extent that he has created an
opportunity for others to find employ
ment and has added to the wealth Of
the state every day in the year. For
be II known that a manufacturer al
ways adds to the value Of the material
he handles and turns over.

Salem will have an opportunity to
secure one of the best manufacturing
plants in the state If site is secured
for the Northwestern Stove Works
plant, which will be removed from the
Oregon state prison about June 1st.
Messrs. Loewenberg and Steiner are
two young men who have the practical
knowledge to conduct that enterprise
and make 1t success. Both have
grown up in the business, and are en-
ergetic, Woodworking young business
men, with a knowledge of the tech
nical and the commercial sides of the
stove business. 0regon-made stoves
will take the market on the Pacific
coast because the fuel conditions here
are so different from the east. The
Anderson Steel Furnace company Is
making a great success Of its business
for the same reason They build a
furnace suited to the fuel and to the
climate of this country. Hence wher-
ever they are introduced more of them
are wanted.
At the Albany Made In Oregon Ex-
position one of the surprises was the
display of leather made by the Albany
Tanning company They make a spe-
cialty Of saddlery leather and their
product Is shipped from Calgary to
Mexico, The funny thing about saddle
manufacture is that a great deal Of
the Albany leather Is made in Grant
county. d. w. Horner of Heppner has
made about $500 saddles that are in
use among the cattle men in Montana,
Idaho and Wyoming. The Albany sad
die leather is sold at SO to As cents a
pound Thirty men are employed at
the tannery and from 25 to so are sent
to the woods every summer to cut
hemlock tanning bark.

where a very cheap match is used

different styles is taking the market

and become successful, Before they
