MANUFACTURES OF OREGON
Product of Factories at the Census of 1900 Was $46,000,587
Vast Natural Resources for Industrial Enterprise.
ACCORDING to the census of 1900 Ore-"
gon had a capital of $33,442,093 In
vested In manufactures and me
chanical industries in the 30S8 establish
ments reporting from the state. This euro
represents the value of land, buildings,
machinery, tools and implements, and the
live capital utilized, but does not Include
the capital (stock of any of the manufac
turing corporations of this state. The
value of the products Is returned at $46,
000,587, to produce which involved an out
lay of $1,323,155 for salaries of officials,
clerks, etc.; $S.333,433 for -wages; $2,242,795
for miscellaneous expenses including rent,
taxes, etc, and $26,099,855 for materials
used, mill supplies, freight and fuel. It is
not to be assumed, however, that the dif
ference between the aggregate of these
sums and the value of the product is in
any sense, indicative of the profits in the
manufacture of the products during the
census year. The census schedule takes
no cognizance of the cost of selling manu
factured articles, or of interest on capital

I 683,212, Is the net or true value of prod
ucts, and represents the Increase in the
value of raw materials resulting from the
various processes of manufacture.
Iadastrlal Development In 50 Yearn.
The manufacturing statistics of the
censuses prior to 1850 were too Imperfect
and fragmentary In character to make it
proper to reproduce them In such a table
as a measure of Industrial growth in the
first half of the century. Table 1 shows
the manufacturing and mechanical in
dustries of the State of Oregon as re
turned at the censuses of 1850 to 1900ln
cluslve. This table also presents the av
erage number of wage earners employed
by manufacturing establishments, In com
parison with the total population of the
state, and the value of the land and
buildings owned and reported by manu
facturers as capital, in comparison with
the assessed value of all real estate and
Improvements.
During the last decade several refrig
erating and freezing plants have been
erected, and these, together with the use
I of refrigerator cars, have made possible
since 1S50. The average number of wage
earners engaged in manufactures con
stituted 4.2 per cent of the population of
the state in 1900, as compared with 2.1 per
cent In. 1850.
Table 2 divides the industries of the
state between the hand trades and the
manufactures proper. This table also
gives the statistics for penal institutions
and establishments with a product of less
than 5500. These were not reported at
previous censuses, and therefore are
omitted from the other tables and their
use confined to table 2.
In addition to the 3551 active establish
ments in the state during the census year
'with a capital of $33,724,348, there were 43
idle establishments with a capital of $1,
050,193. Of the 35S1 establishments of all
classes, 1739, or 4S.6 per cent, were small
shops Included in the groups of "hand
trades" and "establishments with a prod
uct of less than $500." The value of the
products of these establishments consist
ed principally of the sums received for
custom work and repairing, and amount
ed to $6,54S.S73, or 14.2 per cent of the
total product of the state.
Eight Principal Industries.
Comparative statistics for the eight
leading Industries in. Oregon are present
ed in table 3.
There were 1064 establishments in Port
land In 1900, or 34.5 per cent of the entire
number located within the state. These
establishments had a combined capital
amounting to $13,331,500. or 39.9 per cent of
all the capital employed In the state. Of
the wage-earners, S572. or 49.7 per cent
of all In the state, were employed in
Portland. The total amount of wages
paid in the city amounted to $4,347,S76, or

curred In the business, ot of depreciation
in plant. The value of the product given
is the value as obtained or fixed at the
shop or factory. This statement is neces
sary In order to avoid erroneous conclu
sions from the figures presented.
The value of products for the state.
$4G,O00,5S7, Is the gross value, and not the
net value. The difference between thej
two should be carefully noted. The gross
value Is found by adding the values of
products in the separate establishments.
Hut the finished product of one establish
ment is often the raw material for an
other. In such cases the value of the
former reappears In the latter, and thus
the original cost of certain materials may
bo included several times in the gross
value. The net or true value Is found
by subtracting from the gross value the
value of all materials purchased in a
partly manufactured form. In this way
the duplications In the gross value are
eliminated.
At the census of 1890 the schedule was
the snlpments of hundreds of tons or
fresh fish annually from Portland to the
East and to European cities, a fact which
has tended to check the Increase in the
canned product during recent years.
In addition to the industries Inoludcd In
table 3, attention may be called to the
manufacture of paper and wood pulp.
Five establishments were reported In 1900.
with 716 wage-earners and products val
ued at $1,305,696. Measured by the, value
of Its product, this industry Is more Im
portant than certain of the Industries In
cluded In table 3. These figures, however,
cannot be used for comparative purposes,
because only two establishments were re
ported as engaged In this industry in
1890. and the figures were withheld In
order to avoid disclosing the operations
of individual' establishments.
Urban Mnnnfactnrcs.
Tatfle 5 shows the totals for the manu
facturing and mechanical Industries of
52.2 per cent of all wages paid In th
state. The value of products. Including
custom work and repairing during 190-3
was $23,451,132, or 51 per cent of the total
product for the state.
Table 4 combines the totals for the in
dustries In Astoria, Baker City, La
Grande, Oregon City, Portland and Salem,
and places them In comparison with the
totals for the entire state, and the state
exclusive of the cities. x
The statistics in table 5 emphasize the
concentration of the manufacturing in
dustries of the state In its cities. The
urban manufactures constitute 45.8 per
cent of the establishments in the state,
62.7 per cent of the capital, 65.9 per cent
of the wage-earners, 67.G per cent of the
wages and 66 per cent of the products.
Abundant Materlnl for Manufact
uring. The natural resources of the state are
extensive, furnishing material for Its va-
$6,530,757 In 1850. .There were 776,97S,000 feet
(board measure) of lumber, exclusive of
custom sawing, sawed in 1900, as com
pared with 470.146,000 in 1890. The Im
portance of this Industry Is due to the re
markable forest lands of the state.
Flour milling stands second among the
manufacturing Industries of Oregon, and
reflects the large wheatgrowing interest
of the state, the production of this cereal
amounting to 16,19S,012 bushel3 In 1900. The
flour-milling industry gave employment to
443 wage-earners In 1900, and had a prod
uct valued at $6,361,032, as compared with
2S1 wage-earners in 1890, and products val
ued at $4484.473.
The canning- of fish ranks next among
the Industries of the state, with products
valued at $1,7SS,809 In 1900. as compared
with $1,643,324 in 1890. This industry, which
Is almost entirely the canning of salmon
caught in the water of the Columbia Rlv
er and its tributaries, has It3 center in
the City of Astoria. The Industry dates
back to 1S66, and reached Its maximum
production In 1883. It is carried on also
on the north side of the Columbia River,
In Washington, the -value of the product
of this latter state In 1S90 being nearly
a third of that of Oregon. The Columbia.
River has long been famous for its sal
mon, the product for the year 1S95 exceed
ing In value that oi- any other river in
the United States or the world.
The woolen manufactories gave em
ployment In 1900 to 697 wage-earners, and
had products valued at $937,824. as com
pared with S5S wage-earners and products
valued at $614,932 In 1S90. The Importanco
of the woolen manufacture in Oregon Is
largely the result of the extensive stock
raising Interests of the state. The City
of Portland is the principal port andkrall
road center of the state. It is the termi
nus of four transcontinental lines, and
Is a distributing point for the products
and supplies of Oregon, and, to some ex
tent, of Washington, Idaho and Montana.
Manufacturers have, therefore, found it
advantageous to locate their enterprises
in this vicinity.

so framed that it was Impossible to find
the net or true value, zn the census
of 1900 the schedule asked for the value
of the materials in two classes, those
purchased in the crude state and those
purchased In the partly manufactured
form. From the answers to these ques
tions the net or true value of products
may be computed. Thus, for Oregon, the
gross value of products for 1900 was $46.
(i00,5S7. The value of materials purchased
in a partly maufactured form was $15,
417,375. The difference between them, $30.-
the City of Portland as returned at the
censuses of 1890 and 1900.
Although agriculture is the most im
portant industry of Oregon, the develop
ment ol manufacturing and mechanical
industries during the half century from
1850 to 1900 has been very marked. The
Increase In the value of the products
was greatest during the decade from ISM
to 1820, amounting to 279 per cent, while
during the decade from 1S90 to 1900 the in
crease was but 11 per cent, the smallest
per cent of increase during any decade
rlous manufacturing enterprises. It has
three good harbors for the marketing of
manufactured goods. The streams of the
states furnish abundant power at The
Dalles, the Cascade and Oregon City, and
tho mines are producing a continually In
creasing supply of coal for fuel.
In lumber and timber products is the
principal Industry In the state. In 1900
there were 40S4 wage-earners employed In
this industry, and the products were val
ued at $10,352,167, as compared with 4214
wage-earners and products valued at
AH the Recognized Breeds Are Rep
resented in Oregon, but the Jersey
Predominates MT Good Milkers
v J
WHILE practically all of the recog
nized dairy bre?Bs are represented
among the pure-bred cows of the state,
there are probably more representatives of
the Jersey breed than of all others com
bined. Looney Bros., of Marion County, and
aiajor Bruce, of Benton County, were
the earlier Importers of this well-known
breed, their Importations dating back
about a quarter of a century. The lead
ing breeders of Jerseys at the present
tlmo as Indicated by the entries at the
recent State Fair are: D. H. Looney,
Jefferson: W. S. Ladd estate. Portland:
Harry West, Scappoose, and Charles
Cleveland. Gresham. v The list might be
considerably extended, but space forbids.
As producers of butter Mr. West's Sunny
bank herd will compare favorably with
any Jersey herd In Oregon or elsewhere
for that matter. Mr. Wesfs records show
yields as follows:
1896 351 pounds butter per cow
1897 3S6 pounds butter per cow
1898 392 pounds butter per cow
1S99 42S pounds butter per cow
1900 452 pounds butter per cow
Guernseys, as dairymen are well aware,
closely resemble Jerseys In many respects,
the home of both breeds being the Islands
lying In the English Channel. Guern
seys, however, have not proven very pop
ular In Oregon. They were introduced not
many years after the Jerseys, but it is
doubtful If there are any pure-br,ed de
scendants of the earlier importations alive
In the state at present. Of late years
Interest in the breed has been revived
somewhat, and pure-bred animals can be
found In considerable numbers on the
W. S. Ladd estate, "Hazel Fern" Farm,
Dr. R. G. Van Valzah, of Springfield, also
lias two choice specimens of the breed;
a heifer from ex-Governor Morton's fa-.
mous herd, and a bull from one of the
best herd3 in Wisconsin.
Holstelns were brought to the state
many years- ago, but they were largely
used for the purpose of crossbreeding and
pure-bred animals soon became very
scarce In the state. Of recent years Mr.
P. A. Frakcs, of Scappoose, has secured
a herd of very excellent registered Hol
stelns, and dairymen who favor these
handsome black and white cows can now
secure young stock without sending out
of the state for them.
Ayrshlres were also brought to Oregon
many years ago, but the breed did not
seem to meet with much favor. Interest
In the breed has been somewhat revived
during the past year by the importations
of a small herd by Honeyman Bros., of
Portland, for their farm along the Co
lumbia River, near Warren Station.
Probably the only representatives of the
Dutch Belted breed In the state are owned
by H. F. Fischer, of Corvallls, and the
owner does not make a business of sell
ing pure-bred animals. The early breed
ing of Dutch Belted cattle was a sort of
pastime for the Dutch nobility, and at
tention was directed toward color mark
ings rather than performance as dairy
Oregon farms would show a greater or less
infusion of Shorthorn blood. The aver
age farmer wants a fine, large calf, the
matter of milk being a secondary con
sideration, hence little attention has been
given to the matter of ability in the sire
to transmit dairy qualities where Short
horn blood has been used. The develop
ment of the creamery Industry during
the past few years has caused farmers
to give more attention to this matter, and
more care Is now being exercised in the
matter of breeding.
The only herd of Brown Swiss cattle in
the Pacific Northwest, according to the
statement of the owner. Is the property
of Mr. F. A. French, of Portland, and
ketft on a farm near Sheridan. This herd
was brought from the Eastern states
about a year ago, and at present consists
of about 15 animals. They are remarkably
even In color and general appearance, and
those giving milk are said to be excel
lent producers. Brown Swiss cattle are
commonly classed among the general pur
pose breeds, that is, adupted to tho profit
able production of both beef and milk, and
Mr. French does not forget to call atten
tion to the fact that the greatest yield of
butter fat ever recorded in any public test

ord of 300 pounds or more per cow per
year. The average for the 26 Is 354
pounds, the Individual yields ranging from
301 to 477 pounds. Only two cows of this
number are pure-bred Jerseys, the re
mainder being .high grades. To obtain
these results it is of course necessary to
feed liberally and Judiciously. Another
very excellent herd of grade Jerseys re
cently came under the writer's notice in
the coast regions near Tillamook City.
From this herd of 13 high-grades the own
er shipped 267 pounds of butter pei cow
in a year besides the milk and butter used
on the farm, and cows received no grain
or mill feed whatever.
Good prices for dairy products durliis
the past few years have had the effect
of advancing the value of dairy cattle.
Very few really desirable milkers are of
fered for sale. From Washington County,
the" leading dairy county in the Willam
ette Valley, one of the foremost dairymen
sends the following report: "A cow cannot
be called a pure blood unless she Is reg
istered. Not more than one per cent of
our cows are registered. There ars very
few scrub cows in the county, most of
them being high-grade Jerseys. Holstelns
and Durhams. The selling price Is from
$35 to $50 each when fresh." From Coos
County Judge Schroeder, the pioneer
creamery man of that region and one of
the most prominent dairymen at the pres
ent time, sends the following Item: "Good
dairy cows, common and grade, are sell
ing at $35 to $40. Full bloods -$50 to $00
and upwards for extra choice."

animals. A properly marked animal must
be wholly black except the characteristic
white band about the middle of the body,
from which the breed derives Its name.
Coming from the same foundation stock,
and having been subjected to the same
feed and climatic conditions, this breed
does not differ materially from the Hol
stelns except In the matter of color mark
ings. The believers In the dual-purpose cow
as a matter of course in the main pin
of dairy cows Is credited to the Brown
Swiss cow Biienzl, at the Chicago Fat
Stock Show In 1S91. Her average daily
record for the three days of the test was
S1.7 pounds of milk, containing 3.11 pounds
of butter fat.
Aside from the breeders of pure bred
stock, the dairymen who are receiving the
highest returns from their dairy cows are
the owners of well-graded herds, and most
of these herds are Jersey grades. As an

their faith to the old reliable Shorthorns
or Durhams, as they are quite as often
called. Chalmers t Son were probably
the first to bring pure-bred Shorthorns
of the milking type Into the state, nr.d
Mr. Alex Chalmers, of Centervllle, is at
present one of the best-known breeders
of Shorthorn milkers In the Pacific North
west. Mr. R. Scott, of Mllwaukle, Is
also a strong advocate of the merits of
the dual-purpose Shorthorn. An Inspec
tion of the dairy cow on the majority of
the case of Mr. S. M. Douglas, of Spring
field, may be cited. About eight years ago
Mr. Douglas possessed a herd of "scrub"
cows of about average capabilities, name
ly, an annual butter yield per head of 150
to 175 pounds. The scales and the Bab
cock test were applied to the herd, and
a Jersey bull placed at Its head" A care
ful system of selection and breeding has
since been followed with the result that
out of 50 cows for which there are com
plete yearly records, 26 have a butter rec-
CominK Report of the Geological
Survey Will Deal WUb. Them.
A chapter of the 1901 report of the Geo
logical Survey of the mineral resources
of the United States Is to be devoted
to the production of platinum, quicksil
ver, lithium and nickel and cobalt. Nat
urally, the total product of these various
metals Is small by comparison with gold
and silver.
The only nickel and cobalt produced In
the United States during 1900 were bl
products from the smelting of lead ores
In Missouri. The nickel deposits In Ore
gon, which are reported to be extensive,
continue to attract attention, and ef
forts are being made to develop them.
These deposits are located In Rye Val
ley, about 20 miles from Baker City, and
on Dixie Creek, near the head of the
John Day River. No actual mining has
been done at the mines, although. In ad
dition to the development work being
carried on, experiments looking to the
best method for extracting the nickel
frdm the ores are being made. Nickel
has been found near Sedro-Woolley.Wash.,
but no work has been done to determine
whether or not It exists In quantity. A
nickellferous pyrrhotite has been found
about 15 miles southeast of Mount Idaho,
in Idaho County, Idaho, and prepara
tions are being made to develop the
property In order to determine the ex
tent of the deposit and whether it can
be profitably mined.
The platinum produced In the United
States during 1900 was all obtained from
gold placer deposits. Since Its first dis
covery on the Pacific Coast prospectors
have hoped to obtain It In quantity, but
thus far It has been obtained only as a
secondary product In gold mining. David
T. Day, In charge of the mineral divi
sion of the survey, has carefully exam
ined samples of heavy sand from placer
mines In Oregon. Washington, Montana.
Idaho, Alaska and California. His exam
ination shows that platinum occurs In
minute quantities In many of tho
placer claims In Oregon and California,
and at a few places In Idaho, Alaska and
Montana. It was only In the placer de
posits lh Plumas. Shastn, Trinity and
Siskiyou Counties, California, that tho
metal was found In quantity. Chromlto
Is nearly always found associated with
platinum. It Is not unreasonable to sup
pose that platinum will be found In Ore
gon and California associated with
chromlte in the basic magneslan forma
tions of these states.
The total amount of quicksilver pro
duced in the United States in 1900
amounted to 2S.117 flasks of 7( pounds,
valued at $1,292.5S5. a, slightly smaller
product than for the preceding year. Of
last year's product, Oregon yielded 200
flasks. Aside from this, and a small
quantity from Texas, the entire product
of the United States came from California.
Tillamook County will have another
creamery In operation In the Spring. The
fame of Tillamook butter Is assured, and
the yearly Increasing output demonstrates
the value of Tillamook lands for dairy
purposes. It should also emphasize the
need of the long-talked-of, frequently pro
jected but still unconstructed Tillamook
Railroad.
