Oregon Manufactures
Summarized by Bureau

Washington, D. c., May 3O.-A pre-
liminarY statement of the general re-
snlts Of the census of manufacturers
for Oregon has been issued by direct
or Sam l.. Rogers, of the bureau OF the
census department of commerce. 1t
consists of summary comparing the
figures for 1909 and 1914, by totals,
prepared under the direction of Mr..
William M. Stuart, chief statistician
for manufacturers.
The figures are preliminary and sub
ject to such change and correction as
may be found from a further eXami-
nation Of tue original reports.
The census of 1914, like that of
1903, with r. ference to manufacturers,
excluded the hand trades, the building
trades, and the neighbOrhOOd indus
tries, and took account OF establish
lnents conducted under the factory sys-
tenn. In the last census, also, as III
mat for 1909, statistics were not col
;ected for establishments having pro-
duets for the census year valued at
less than $500, except that reports
were taken for establishments idle

year, and whose products for suen
reason were valued at less than $500.

in the census reports may mean more
than one mill or plant, provided they
are owned or controlled and operated
by a single individual, partnership,
corporation, or other owner or operator
and are located in the same town or
city.
The reports were taken for the cal

Percentages of Increase
The population of Oregan at tle
census of 1910 was 672,765, and it is
estimated that it was $4,000 on July
4, 1914.
The summary shows a consistent in
crease for the census of 1914, as com
pared with that for 1909 In the or.
der of their Importance, from a per-
tentage standpoint, the several items
rank as follows: Capital, 56.6 per cent;
salaries, 40.4 per cent; salaried en-
ployees, 27.6 per cent; primary horse

Ter establishment was approximately
$4,000 in 1914 and $4,000 in 1909. In
rnis connection it should be stated that

Rogue River Courier: An offer of ST
per ounce for the platinum output Of
his mine on the Illinois river has been
declined by Geo. E. Anderson, who win
hold the precious metal, worth nearly
five times its WEIGHT in gold for a rise
in the market. Four years ago Mr.. An
derson was carefully picking out the
white metal that was too heavy to wash
out of the yellow dust and throwing it
into the discard so that it might not
spoil the appearance of the gold. But
today it is different story, and the 10
ounces which Mr. Anderson brought to
town yesterday could be exchanged for
$770 in gold. When the character of
the white metal had been determined,
Mr.. Anderson commenced saving it for
the market, his first sale having been
of 10 ounces that brought him 500 an
ounce three years ago. The Anderson
mine gives a recovery of about that
much platinum along with its gold in
every winter s run, and the value is
fast mounting higher.
