The St. Johns Review, our nearest newspaper neighbor outtide of Port land, presents some interesting fac's abrut the new woolen mills there, which should be encouraging to capital ists who have the enlargement of the woolen manufacturing industry of Ore goo in view if there be any such men, and we hope there are The St, Johns Mills are running night and div, and cannot supply the demand for their products, one order for 05,000 yards of flannel being refused laBt week The monthly yield is now about 40,000 yards of woolens, being over 25 per cent above the yield of the Sellwood mill before it was burned. About 75,000 a year is paid to employes, many of whom own their homes or r-re pur chacing tlfm with their wages. The stock cf the sompan, Jli5,C00 common a-d $175,000 preferred stock, is nea:ly all owned by Portland men, who in in vesting their money in this way not only made a good investment for them selves but greatly benefited St. Johnp, Portland, and the whole state. Other woolen mills, if well managed, are prospering, and many others migH do so. The mills at Oregon Ctv Salem, Pendletoo, Brownsville and other points, including the one to be rebuilt at Albany in place of the one re cently burned, are praiseworthy pio neers in an industry that phonld expind to many times its present proportions in Oregon. Twenty million pounds of wool are produced in Oregon annually, the great er portion of it in eastern Oregon, where sheep must be sheared without wash ing, so that about twe-thirds of the ileeces in weight are dirt and grease which without scorning mi i must be shipped to eastern cities, mostly to Boston, and freight pnid thereon, and then some of the products are sent back 3,000 miles to be sold hi our stores. Oregon mills ought to scour and IIIUII U'OOI, I'ltlCICS. Advance of Three or tour Cents Over Last Vear. ''Eastern Oregon wool, nrt already contracted for, will bring 20 to 21 cents a pound for the lignter mountain grades before the Fe lin., season is fairly open ed. This will be an advance of three or four cen's rver the maiket of last year for the same grades. The Pendleton and common territory will be able to sell for 20, and fit The Dalles and Shan iko the piice will be slightly higher, owing to the better freight rates allowed The Dal'es region because of water competition." The foregoing statement was made today by a hfavy dealer in wool from Eastern Oregon, who went on to say: "Last year the choicer grades of wool brought 16 to 17 cents at Pendleton, and correspondingly more at Shanike. The crop was rather closely taken up, and the buyers apparently believed the market this year would be strong. At any rate, they came into the market last winter and this spring, and wrote contracts for the clips Ht lower than 20, and a portion of the inland empire clip was taken in this manner. "It leaves comparatively little that is not contracted for, and that which has not been pledged will bring a high price in response to the sharp demand that is inevitable. 'This situation will operate to the build, purchase or lease steamboats and river craft for operation on the Colnm bia and its tributaries. J. N. Ttal, at torney for the incorporators, states that it is the intention to acquire only the best class of boats, which will be built especially for the service on which they Will be utilized, with particular regard for needs of that traffic. ICOADS KXPECT LARGE YIELDS. Reports Received on Northwestern Are Favorable. Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com pany and Southern Pacific reports show most favorable crop and agricultural conditions throughout Oregon and the Northwest. Both in the Willamette Valley and the Inland Empire eyerything presages large acreage and abundant yield, and the railroads, warned by their reports of agricultural "conditions, are preparing for handling large crops this summer and fall. Coming this summer, when the Exposition means so much for Ore gon, it is realized that the condition ot splendid crops could not possibly come at a more propitious time, and it cannot fail to impress visitors to the state in a decided manner. Orchards loaded with fruit, fields bearing a harvest ot all kinds of grains, fat and s'eek cattle, prosperous-looking farms and contented farmers these advantage of the eastern Oregon wool Beem assured this season as concomit growers in two respects the price will ants of tne Lewis and Clark Exposition, he high, and the local supply will be and W1" show to the thousands of latge, fcr the dip this year is bound to visi,or8 from the East and Middle West 1 . . total even above the average. A few wno W1U lma year 'nvade Oregon for years ago sheepmen in the interior were Ine nret time tne wonderful resources slack in their methods. They seldom in an aBricu,turaI wav of tl,is common- provided against severe winter?, and there was no protection to sheep if lambing came at a time when storms prevailed. "Now they have learned better ways and everyone who pretends to be up to date in tne business has sheds sufficient to protect the sheep while lambirjg, and the possession of an abundance rf hay is regarded as the pre-requisite to every winter. "Lots of money has been made of late years in the sheep business in east ern Oregon, and in spite of short range the growers have prospered." The world's supply as reflected in the London sales i fdioitr 0f the demand, and the value of i he product wherever wool is produced is reasonably certain to be high, ac ording to authorities on thd si'uation. wealth. From reportB on all sides of crop prospects, Oregon promises to out do herH thi- .ear. Not for years hs euch a vie d of all agricultural products been promised as is for fold now by the prospects in the tarming districts of lb state. All indications point to record breaking crops Despite reports f-erit cut early, the fruit crop promises to be all that conld be wished. Frosts have not irjurcd the orchards to aDy nppreciable extent with the possible exception of apricots, and in this fruh there is reaeon to be lieve that the damage has been over estimated. Orchards a 1 over the state now white with bloom promise great things for the summer in horticultural products, and as this is one of the fore most of Oregon's industries, visitors cannot fail to be impressed with the state's production in this line. The great staple, wheat, will probab ly be as abundant this year as last, when a record-breaking crop brought an abundant prosperity to the whole state. Eastern Oregon wheatgrowers are roll ing iu wealth as a result of the big yield and high prices of last year, and an equal acreage of wheat is predicted this season, bome acreage sowed to fall wheat was affected by the late cold spells, but the weather since has been so favorable that this has been reseed- ed to spring wheat, which is doing well. It is yet too early for the wl eat crop to be assured, but there is every indication so far cf favorable weather conditions and a banner yield. Barley has been sown in equal acre age with the yield last season, and promises well, while oats are probably a little less in evidence than last year. Hay promises well and grasses of all kinds will be abundant. Lnwftoii' (inlii, New Yurk.
