HOSIERY AND KNIT GOODS
It is well for commnnites that
are ambitious to keep up with
the times, to make some effort
to aoauire information aa to
what is going on in the country,
In this fast moving age the com
muuity or town that thinks the
world is engaged about as it was
a half century ago will find that
it has taken a aide track posi
tion and about all it can' do is
stand and wonder at the anwi
of the on moving column of
progress j and chaff because it is
being left behind.
A half rentury ago the wo
men carded the wool, cotton or
flax, spun it, and then by hand
with knitting needles that cost
a fip (six and a quarter cents)
patiently knit all the hosiery
and knit goods that' the people
used. There were then but 23,
191,876 people of all races in
th U. ; 8. and, the patient
mothers aud dutiful sisters
made no complaint because of
the task imposed upon them of
knitting socks, mittens, and
gloves for the nation.
In 1900 the census takers
made no note of the number of
knitting niedles in the United
States or the value of the socka.
stockings, gloves and mittens
knit by the women, for the
reason that, hapily, for woman
kind and to the honor of man
kind that particular made of
providing the people wit h un
der ware had ceased.
The census of 1900 did find
021 great big establishments
wherein a capital of $81,860,604
were employed and 83,387 men
women, boys and girls , were
paid as wages a total 24,358,627
an annual average of" $292.92
per wage earner. .
-Theft 921 hnJery and knit

addition to the amount, $24.
358,627,, paid for wages, pur
chased $51,071,859 worth of
material that was used in mak
ing products worth $95,482,566.
Iu 1900 there were 75,693,734
people of all races in the United
States and the per capita of the
hosiery and knit goods used
was $1.26. At this rate it will
take but $25,000 to furnish the
people of Union county a year.
And at leaet $100,000 worth . to
snpply the country that ran be
supplied from Li Grande more
conveniently aud clitaper than
from any other point.
There are now in Oregon but
three knit goods establishments.
viz. at Portland, Stayton and
La Grande. These cannot pos
sible supply our people. Wash
ington has but one, and Cali
fornia three, Idaho one. All
the knit goods establishments
on this coast are small concerns
leaving the field practically opeu
lor supplying two and a half
mi.lious of people with their
knit goods who will annually
consume, at least - $3,000,000
worth of such stuff a vear
People in other states are wak
ening up to the profits in the
knitting and hosiery plants add
ed or 121 a year. It looks like
a region that grows wool, has
an abundance of power, either
developed or awaiting develop
ment with a prosperous popula
tion ought- to make i s own
gloves, stockings, soeks and un-derware.
