It can be said that Hogue's mills are among the most important manufactories of lumber Portland, ttnd-the largest located on the east side of river at this place. TM a a 'capacity of 40,000 feet per day, besides which they cab easily turn outin the same time 10,000 laths. The lumber from these mills is either piit on the market dressed or undressed, as mat i crslred i' tho Purchaser, the two planis having a daily capacity of lo.OOO feet. The mill is located on deelp water front of tbe Willamette aiid also has a platform by the side of the Southern Pacine tracks, where cars can be conveniently loaded. The plant itself now covers an nre'i of two blocks and is in every respect cont- plcte.

Jlr. Hoguc keeps constantly oil hand, summer and winter, upwards of 1 000'000 feet oi lumber, all wcil seasoned and hl's annual output is now in the of feet. His supply iol-lofes. for which be yearly expends between and $80,000, comes principally froid tlio Cowlitz, Coal creek and tbe Clatskan.no. oh the lower Columbia.

During the iota! value of his output was about $90,0001 while the Present year it will considerably 'exceed $100,000. He gives constant emplovnient to thirty-five men, and his average was(i roll about $500 per week. i What is uow known as "Hbgue'i mill!" was first star.ted in East Portland in 1671 bV J. IV. Lawrence who ran it alone fon a few months only when he sold a hfllfi interest in it to P.

Abrams, and the- present owner 11. A. Hogue, and a uartnershipjwas at once formed under the firm name of Abrams, Hogue Lawrence. Early in tlie fall ol tue following year Mr. Lawrence sold out his entire interest to Abrams Hoglue who took in Mr.

S. B. Story when the style of the firni was changed to Abrams, Hogvie Story In the year following Mr. Abranls tbe senior partner had the misfortune to receive ia severe fall at the mill, from ihe effects ol which he died a few days later. A short time after his demise Mr.

Hogue together with a son of Mr. Abrams purchased the interest of Mr. Story in the plant, and the mill was then run by Abrams Hogue until July 1S7C when Mr. Hogue became solo owner, and has since conducted mill entirely alone. Mr.

Hogue ran the old mill until 1887, when he made improvements aiid additions which at least trebled tta capacity. An idea of the growth of the business that Mr. Hoguo has ao long been identified with may be obtained from the statement that in 1373 and '74 he thought ho was doing well wltli a total of three hands employed if he was able to keep his mill busy three days out of tho week. At the present with thirty-five men employed he could easily keep his fires burning night and day and even with his machinery in motion he could not more thin supply his customers. Mr.

Hogue nokv finds a market for the product of lits Eait Portland mill entirely in Portland. He owns a half interest in a very large mill, at Oak Point, on the Columbia, a mudh larger capacity than his East Portland plant which he uses altogether for supplying the demand in EnsteraOregon and Washington, Colorado, Salt Lake, Idaho aijd Montana. The mill that the gentleman owns in East Portland was the first started in that city. He himself is a pioneer ruiUmanjof PortlanJ, having been, in the sawmill business In Portas far back aa 185D. He is a geritlcman who is well provided for in this worldte goods and enjoys the confidence arid good 1 will- of the entire community with whose Interests he has so long been identified.

Tbis company is incorporated under the laws of Oiegon. with a subscribed capital stock of $10,000, a fi.ufBcicnt guarantee of the solvency of the institution. The present officers of the company 'are M. Tarelius, president; IT.

M. Lambert, secretary aud treasurer, and Nerdrum, manager. Tlie business cf this new incorporation is to make all kind 3 of mouldings und brackets, office and saloon fittings of whatever description, and to do fine interior work of all finds. In its scope it ia something more than mere local industry, its field not being confined to Portland or East Portland; alone, it being in a condition to successfully compete for the business of tho entire Northwest. Even at this early stage oi its establishment here tbe company is doing a very largo piece of contract work for the new sehoolhouse at 'Corvallis, and during the past month they turned out and shipped 10 Buckley, Vf.

one tbe finest malioguiy-topped counters that was ever made in the Pacific Northwest. The company keeps constantly on the road a first-class solicitor, and they are in receipt of daily orders from almost every part of Oregon nnd Washington. Just i at the pres- eut time tbe company liai'iniU shop in East work-on hand ti the valueof about nud while this is not an I exceedingly large showing it is certaii ly a very satisfactory one, congiderme thc'fimited time that they have been established here: Tbe Northwest abounds in woods tlmt take a very high polish in wor requiring a very high finish.

The cdinpany's expenditures for. material alone will run all the way, from to per inonth, and when they arc onco established it will in all probability greatly exceed tbi.H -sum. The main building of tbo company, used as their mill is two ttoriea in high and basement which together with the other structures coyera an area of about half a'block. Numerous machines adapted kinds iof turning, required iu line finishing work are kept in constant JSD, and the company is adding new and improved much inery just as fast as 1 he requirements of their business call for it On tbcir payroll are nine men, all experienced workmen, and among these is one of the finest and most skillful fixture makers, carvers and craftsmen on the coast. A sufficient guaranteejof the ability of this workman in this special line is the fact of his baring formerly been, one.of the leading men employed by A.

H. Revel of Chicago, the largest firm in tbeir line west of New It "is tho kind of push and energy displayed by the men who nave hold of this enterprise that always wnu in the Ion)? 1 run. They grasped the by entering a field that has been heretofore unoccupied, and the very favorable outcome of tbeir early yenture prove? the wisdom of the step. As the gentlemen composing the company are all wall known, bothflu Portland and throughout the Northwest, they will unquestionably with the heartiest reception of the pc-ople of this great commonwealth, and as they have at hand all the means for turning out any kind of work that may be intrusted to their hands In the shortest possible me ani in the moat satisfactory manner, they will undoubtedly build up a'very Urge business. FUTE BASK IUBNITUSE.

pany was incorporated under the present -title. Abe capital stock of the company at the present time is $100,000. The now keeps in stock about 2,000,000 feet of lumber and aWt shingles, bupplics are obtained from the imills along tbe shores of the river and its tributaries, where the forests have riot yet been culled" of the choicest timber. lleiice a large norlion of tue company's lumber is clear and frcclfroni detects. About one-half of their (umber -is shipped to Colorado, Utah.

Montana, Eastern oahington and Eastern Oregon and the ren ainder is disposed of at home and along-tae different lines of railroad traversing the state. The business of tbe company is rapidly increasing, demanding the constant enlargement of their shipping and yard facilities. Among the-latter may be mentioned a aix-roora Bturtcvurit bot dry kiln, he only one in this market by means sf which the company makes a great saving to its customers in freights en all lumber shipped by rail. The rapid settlement of the interior, where timber 'is scarce, and over a vast area of which not a tree can be seen aa far as the eye can.rench. gives increasing impetus to their trade.

The company facilities for receiving.ami shipping lumber and timber are ample to meet svery requirement of their busioess. All of I their sxippltei to their dqcto by barges, towed by tug boats. By meaiii of a steam derrick these supplies are easily transferred to their wharves, loaded on'wagons or trucks, and either conveyed to the cars for shipment or placed at once in the yards or kilns. A 1 tramway connecting with the Southern Pacific railroad is constructed to the eastern extension of their yards, where cars are conveniently loaded. The company pays out for lumber and shingles about $150.000 annually, and as their business extends in the their outlay of money for stook will increase in corresponding ratio.

They employ on an average about forty men, and their poV roll at tho present time reaches In the neighborhood of per annum. "These nands all rece ve the highest paid this class of mechanics. At least two-thirds of these men hove families and are residents within the city limits. At the rate that the business of the company is increasing, it will in a few attain double or treble 1 its present magnitude. Since tbe year 1887 its yearly volume of business has increased at least one-half, and during this time they have been constantly necessitated to enlarge tbeiryardto meet the requirements of the augmenting current of business flowing iu.

It was a correct forecast of the future, formed by a knowledge of the demands of the country, at that time in ils inc plent stage of Development, that led to rue establishment of this great try here, and tho outcome of th0 veature has well proved the wisdom of this move on the pa-t of this enterprising firm. Immigration was beginning to flow in from the Kast ar the timberless districts east. of the Cascades mountains was being rapidly populated by thrifty home builders. These facts foreshadowed an increased demand for nil kinds building and fencing material. Tho H.

The demand fo; boxes; of all kinds ia a growing one and there is perhaps no business iu the city that has made more rapid strides during the last ten years than has the one that is tbe subject of this short sketch. Never before in the bistcry of the Northwest has there been the demand for" boxes of all kinds ttat there is at the present writing, Thij is directly attributable not only to ic rapid growth of the entire country, buf to the many fruit orchards that are just now commencing to bear. Even with this unprecedented demand the Mu tnomahf Box Factory is so thoroughly equipped in all 3 departments, it having been tbe constant study of the proprietors to keep abreast of the times In their business, that so far they have been able to handle without the least inconvenience all the orders hat have come in.
