W: SCRIBER, Cashier m aaaaiBDaaoaoBoaBanooni So little is said in Oregon about its industrial enterprises tbat the popular notion seems to be that manufacturing cats but a small figure iu our ecomical life; and that it would be nt serious injury to the business interest of this state should national politics favoring the devslopement of industrial en terprises be changed and man ufacturing in Oregon be crippl ed or wholly eliminated. Let us take a glanoe at the re cord and see the relative impor tance and present magnitude of the manufacturing interest in Oregon. In 1900, as shown by the U S Census, there were $33 724,348 invested in 3,681 mauu furturing establishments in Ojegon. In the same year there were 15,837 furms in Oregon the land buildings and farm implements were in the aggregate valued at $128,744,239. Tuis shows tbat there was more than a. quarter as much capital invested in manufacturing as in farming. In 1900 there were 14,842,834 expended on the Oregon farms for labor; the same year the factories in Oregon paid ont for tabor 18,368,503 as wages, nearly twice as much as was paid for labor on the farms. The value of farm products, excluding tbat fed to live stock. grown in 19u0 in Oregon was $31,896,248. The value of the product turned out from the factories in Oregon the same year was $16,239,570' a sum greater by $14,343,322 than the farm products. In addition to the 8,368,593 paid out to wage earners by the Oregon factories in 1900 they paid $2,261,693 for miscellane ous expenses and for material, fuel, freight etc , a total cash expenditure for the year 1900 of $36,852,395, a sum equtvoient to i4,tso0,3b more than oue quarter of the value of all the farms, farm buildings and farm tools and machines iu the state that year. In 1900 there ware 68,490 j persons ten years old and over engaged in agriculture in Ore gon of whom 1,560 were females. The same year there were 32,- 043 persons ten years old and over engaged in manufacturing and mechanical persuits of whom 3,692 were females. This classification iucludes owners and wage earners. The 3,581 Industrial plants were owned by 4,138 proprietors and firm members, who employ ed 17,508 wage earner? and paid them as wages $8,368,593 in 1900 The above number of wage earn ers constituted 4 2 per cent of Try the Observer Tor first the whole population of Oregon Job Work.
