AN OREGON ENTERPRISE.
WHAT A FEW LIVE MEN ARE DOING,
fly special invitation we, a few days ago, visited
the extensive manufacturing establishment of the
Pacific Threshing Machine Company, located at
the head of State street, just outside the limits if
the city of Salem. The company here own six
acres of land, on which their exteuBive workshops
luuikd, Mill crunk, wmuli runs right, through
the grounds, furnishes all the necessary
power for the use of the works. This company
have, at least, solved the problem that manufac
turing can be made as profitable here as anywhere
elso. The principal part of their business consists
in constructing the " Pelton Six-Fold Horse
Power," pateuted by 9. Pelton, in 1872. And in
order that our readers may better understand
what really is being done here, we also present
an engraving of this power. The cut shows it
with a hole broken in the casing, in order to give
a view of the upper aud lower set of spur-wheels,
which form the six-fold gear. Ite construction
could hardly be described in a short newspaper
article, but a descriptive pamphlet can be obtained
free by addressing the company at Salem. We
have read numerous testimonials of tome of the
most reliable Oregon and California farmers who
have given the machine a practical test in the har
vest field for two or three years, and all combine
in pronouncing it of light draft and the most dur
able, safe and convenient power manufactured in
the world ; and the price, when the superior work
manship is taken into consideration, is so low that
it is fait superseding all Eastern-made horse
powers. Id its construction forty men are steadily
employed, thus keeping a vast amount of money
at home for labor alone ; but when we take into
OUR WEEKLY.

miles above Alumla, ami is destined at
no very diUnt duv to rank as one of
the most important shipping points on

place to ship from. Messrs Hawley,

negotiating for ground to erect busi
ness houses. Twenty-two miles north
cast from WaWMWal, and in the midst
of one of the very richest agricultural
sections of the Pacific Northwest, we

amount of business is transacted here.

THE PELTON SIX FOLD HORSE POWER-ManufaCturtd at Salem, Oregon..
consideration that Oswego (Oregon) iron and Ore
gon woods are uted in constructing this power, it
will be seen wlmt a thorough home enterprise this
really is. Thoir foundry is a neat building, siity
feet square, and is furnished with the largest and
beet set of patterns of any foundry in this 8tate ;
for, besides making all the castings for the horse
powers, this company also manufacture parler,
cook stove and hollow ware of a very superior
quality.
Immediately back of the foundry, but dbtached
from it, are the finishing shops-2i a SO and about
BO feet from that, the roomy and convenient offi
ces aud store-rooms for fiuisbed work, in a sub
stantial building AO 1 120. The company also own
another shop, on the Oregon State Penitentiary
U rounds, where they employ eighteen convicta in
making the wood-work for the horse-power and
putting the caatings together. The company's
officers ere :
O. I'. Ihjardsley, President and Heneral Super
intendent Dr. J. Reynolds, Vice Presideut ; Pr.
II. Carpenter, Secretary ; W. S. Oliphaut, Gen

tundeut of Stove aud Hollow Wart Department
Juhn Patterson, Foremau of the Foundry.
Every man has been selected for his peculiar
adaptability to the work assigned to him, both of
the Pattersons haviug had charge of some of the
largest foundries in the Eastern Bute ; whilst the
President, Mr. Beardsley, is a practical business
man, who came here four years ago from the State
of New York and so successfully iutroduoed the
Fruit Dryer into this Slate. Both Drt, Carpenter
and Reynolds are thorough businea men, whilst
air. Oliphant, as a Traveling Agent, has few
equal. With such advantages, aud worthy of
patronage as so eitensive a home enterprise, we
anticipate a brilliant and profitable career for the
Pacific Thmhing Machine Company.
