Saturday afternoon a reporter fell iu with the streams of people that seemed to be out for an agreeable holiday. They crowded the street ears and both walks leading toward the Woolen Mill Com pany's new establishment' In East Salem. Tho large building stands iu a kind of natural park shaded by largo spreading oak trees, where to the music of the rushing mill stream, tho operatives can eat their midday lunch on the hanks of tho green sward. These grounds are to be parked and preserved in all their natural beauty. A force pump and hydrants furnish water to the groundsill capo of lire.

First seen upon entering the grounds is the ollico where the time and busiues books are kept, by Mr. It. H. Coshow, secretary, and night watch Win. Wright reports from his rounds.

Upon entei lug the main building tho visitors were met by Sqlure Furrnr, the Picsideut; Thos. Kay, Superintendent, and his son, Mr. Harry is assistant superintendent of the works.These gentlemen worked assiduously, assisted by the oveiseer andhelp in the different departments, to show visitors through and explain all the workings of the machinery and processes. Indeed the wlilo force from president to spool-boys, resolved themselves into a commltleo on entertainment, and did their best to make it pleasaut for the stream of visitors that poured through the mills from high -noon-to sundown. Au overseer who has been In mills for 30 years says he has never seen such crowds come to visit a mill, and if the people take as great a pride in wearing the products of these looms as they did In seeing them work, there will bean enormous home demand fir the cloth.

THE RAW MATERIAL employed in this mill is all Oregon wool and nothing but wool. The great staple of course are the Willamette valley mediums, which are not surpassed In the world. Some very fine grades are obtained from Roseburg and Eastern Oregon, and the Umpqua valley. The bales nro brought in by the farmers and by rail and river. They go up the elevator to THE WOOL BOHTEIIS on tho third floor iu whoso deft hands each fleece is separated into proper quulities.

Tho grades are suited and matched from eight styles of wool, as high as four or five kinds being sorted trom a single fleece. This is very important work, as both profit and reputation to the factory depend upon intelligent manipulation of the sorts. Peter Mclntyre was lound in charge, assisted by Patrick Foley and James Mclntyre. Joe Cordiugby, tiie mill carpenter, has his shop on tills floor. SCOUIUNCI AND OLUANI.Vg.

Tho sorted material now goes to the scouring room on the ground floor. Chemicals and iron rollers release tho fleeces trom dirtand giease, when it goes under clean water to the drenching box and thence to the extractor, an iron cylinder, where 800 revolutions a minute literally throw the water out of the wool by centrifugal force. It Is now put on to the dryer, a ste.un heated bin about 8x10 feet. Mr. U.

JL Privsley hus chaio of scouring and ajid Mr. Clarence Hall attends to the duty of steam heating und engineer. Tim DYlilNCI UKr-AKTMKT ls connected with the cleaning, as the greater part of the wool is dyed iu tho hulk. All that la used for cassimercu and cloths has the colors fixed in tho material before It is spun or woven. Tweeds in shoep'a greys are mudu from white and brown woven In the nuturul colors properly mixed.

Flannels are dyed In tho piece, after being woven, but before Mulshing. Mr, David Lundles Is oyeiiper of tho dyo de-Tartpieiit, and 'has had a long experience iu Europe and Amerliui. The dyes UMtri are mostly Imported from Germany. n.ii nviHH. AJ'ter Ixiiug scoured, dried and dyed If nccffesury, the wool is sent through this wonderful mat-hint) and flies out like soft fleecy snow storm Into a lurt'e, perfectly light room, where it banks up lu great drifts, pure white, blood red or jet i iiik black.

Sometimes) different colors are blended into one iu this ingenious machine, which managed by Mr. Samuel Wright. TIIECAKD DEtWKTMKNT is presided over by Mr. James Denton. Here tho uncombed chaotic ina-s flows Into orderly streams that never seperate, until the fabric they coiiftitue is worn to its last shreds.

Win. Bern, W. F. Brown and M. J.

Barber run the three card machines, mid James C. Sones is night carder. A scale at the tmutli of the firdt of these wool devouring inn-ciines, that seem so instinct with human and careful balance of its beam is required. One color or three or four mixed cm be run In. The first breaker turns out a soft round ropo of wool an Inch in diameter, which is auto-muticitlly wound upon a roll; 48 of these rolls are fed Into the second breaker and como out of the third in delicate strands ready to be finished into yarn.

The spools of card-iugare now set Into the two wonderworking self-operating spining mules, where 14 sp ols of 48 threads each are spun into 072 threads of yarn. The 072 threads are drawn out about 10 feet every twenty see onds by tho attendance of three operaeors: Joseph Dlgmsin, James Maple' hrope and J. Shoemaker, presided over by Harry Kay. It may be interesting to readers to know just what length of yarns is spun. A careful estimate shows that about 256,000 yards per hour is average result, or 18,432,000 feet, or about 3-300 utiles of yarn iu 24 hours, almost equal to the yanrlng capacity of some newspapers.

It takes about 200 runs of tho mule to fill a bobbin. The bobbins are then removed by hau 1 aud sunt to the spoolers, when 40 threads to the sp.ol uro wounl up, 3.0J0 to yards going onto a spool. Tho boys in charge ot the spoiling are Walter Jiasey, Sherman Burford, James Smith, Allio Stewart, and it is quite a responsible place to fill. TO THE LOOMS. To tho looms! A few more preparations and we are ready to see the material we have followed so closely to the looms.

Tho spools no to tho dresser or who manipulates tho 1200 to 0000 threads one step nearer the finished product. This work is in hand by E. Howell. Then we follow to the beamer and the drawer-ill, which work Is done by Fred Snyder and Agnes Farrar respectively. Mr.

James W. Hut-ton, a gentleman of experience lu great establishments in Canada and Easton, Is overseer of tho looms. Ho Is a designer as well. Tho weavers are F. Frost, Ed.

The looms like all of the machinery are of the most improved patterns, and require a high order of skilled labor to achieve the perfection. Some of tho most expert employes declare they never saw a mill start off with better luck or turn out nicer goods right from the first sturt.

Aud this is true in every department. THE FINISHING I'ltOCKSSnS nro now quickly gone thro' with. Mr. Geo. Woelfel is overseer.

Two ladles attend the burling table where the cloth from the loom is gono over uud little lumps or imperfections are carefully removed. This work is done by Emma Farrar and Tillie Dunsforth. Fulling Is the next process, whereby means of a machine the raw cloth is reduced iu width frmi 30 aud 40 Inches to i aud 23 inches. Double widths shrink from 80 inches to 60. Tho drench box cleans the cloth leady for dying or finishing.

A largo rotary press heated with 20 pounds steam perfects tho flannels, a teaser raises a nap on buch fabrics us soft fleeoy blankets, and a shears, Unit cuts a film of tissue paper like a razor, puts on a nice even surface If it is desired. i ne prouuciH are men cut, rolled lu bales uud measured oft' for market. Of couivo there are numberless do-tails of finishing that cannot bo tola iu a newspaper article like this, Tho workers iu this department aio T. O. Andrews, Win.

Sohrhier and E. and they seem to handle It well. A review of tho work holng done so satisfactorily, and mention of an institution which the people of Salem ft a gr.itlfying decree of Ideal pride lu vhutiug, would lint ho complete without reference to It practical head.

A native of Yorkshire, England, he has licen cngaped In woolen mills for forty l- two curs. He mi man who hus worked his way tip from tho lowest round of the ladder, and enjoys the confidence of capitalists as well as of his operatives. Mr. Chas. Bishop, one of the directors of the company, has established an agency and depot at Port-laud, and no doubt the quality and reputation of the nroduct of the Salem woolen mills will with good management become well established.

EDITORIAL COMMENT. While many papers are sneering at the Blair Educational bill, the faet remains that education is the great need of thesjuth. A iiEOULAit underground route has bsen discovered at Detroit by which thousands of Chinese have been imported into the United States, pig-tall, opium joints aud all. will bo appropriated by congress to enforce the exclusion act along our entire uational borders. The Louisiana Lottery is taking advantage of hard times to get a i hold on several new sttites.

Tho prospect is said to be good for their success in North Dakota. It Is charged that legislators were bought up at $3000 upleee, and the attorney general for $10,000. A movement is also on foot to transfer this gigantic money-sucking swindle bodily to Nevada. The Hunt rallwaysystem is.mak-ing gieut progress in being extended north to Gray's Harbor. Of tho subsldiesudviinced the Gray's Harbor people give Aberdeen, Montesano, 05,000, aud Centralin, $00,000, making a total of Railroad development lu tho Willamette valley could be expedited by towns puitlug up money like that.

With Sllcott getting oil' with of tho congressional treasury funds, tho Mississippi Stato Treasurer eloping with over $200,000, and now the governor of Missouri finds lie treasurer of our democratic exchanges will please give us some extended editorials on- republican corruption aud steulingnnd some long articles on tho robber tariff. Tho corporation press only praises the arguments of President Green against a Postal Telegraph, but denounce tho K. of L. representative as a "salaried labor lobbyist." Dr. Green is solicitous about the people in the telegraph business who would tie ruined by government competition, yet he is president of the corporation that lias repeatedly crushed opposition companies and other pooplo who have invested money in tho telegraph business.

With these Corporation organs It is always a horse of another color when the people hayo auy rights at all. McMinnville Reperter: Senator Mitchell introduced a resolution calling upon tho committeo on finance, who are inquiring into tho tariir, to investigate and If practicable prepare a provision for a duty on hopBi Tho senator says that tho states of Oregon and Washington are tho greatest hop producing countries iu the world, uud ho wants the product protected. Mr. Mitchell Is ever alert to the interest of his constituents, uud no Important measure comes before tho senate In which tho Interests of Oregon are uot guarded. Pieneer: Astoria is in earnest about her railroad, and It will bo built, Tho oity needs it for development, aud tiio business men are alive to their Interests.

A railroad will bring the city iu direct communication with tho wheiu-produclug Willamette valley, and will divert a large portion of tho- trade to that point instead of Portland, This means wealth to merchants, and they are not at all backward In understanding what factors they need to develop tho city. Polk County Itemlzorj "Tho bridge must ho rebuilt Is tho unanimous verdict, and nothing short of a suspension bridge will fill tho bill, ouo that will defy all future floods.
