POETLXNBV 'JULY 29, 1900. 5 LINES OF INDUSTRY HOW THE JACOBSES GOT AHEAD TS OREGON. . Hard "Work, Economy, "Energy and Perseverance, With. Good Busi ness Sense, Brought Success. OREGON CITY. Or., July 23. Today an inventory of the stock, machinery, etc, "was begun at the woolen mill preparatory to turning over the entire property to 53rown Bros., of San Francisco, and B. Suderman, -who have purchased the stock end interests of the Jacobses in the Ore gon City Manufacturing Company. For the past 34 years the elder Jacobs broth rs, Isaac and Ralph, have continuously en,d successfully carried on one of tbo most Important industrial enterprises in Oregon, being assisted in later years by their sons. It Is a notable fact that dur ing all this period the mill "was never shut Gown, except to make needed repairs oc casioned by the ravages of fire or se rious damage to the machinery. The career of the Jacobs brothers in Oregon has been one of tireless industry end energy and business acumen, quali ties that have made them wealthy from e. humble beginning. Born In Poland, where their ancestors were noted for ster ling Integrity and Indomitable energy In business matttrs amongst adverse sur roundings, the two elder Jacobses while young made their way to Liverpool, bound for America. Here they worked until money enough was secured to pay their ship passage, and they arrived In New York City without enough money to pay for a breakfast. They reached Ore gon City In about 1S56. and tramped over the country with a peddler's pack on their backs for some years, later secur ing a horse to carry the stock of mer chandise that was delivered at the farm ers' door. As the business Increased and a larger stock was carried, another horse was added, and finally a wagon. Eventually a small stock of goods was opened out In a building on Main street that had been vacated by the Marks brothers, who had gone to Southern Ore gon. W. P. Burns, now of Portland, was the first customer at the new establish ment, purchasing a whole bolt of muslin. The merchandise business continued to grow until Jacobs Bros, purchased the brick building adjoining Major Thomas Charman's store; and subsequently they erected the large dwelling now owned by Major Charman, near the suspension bridge. Both the Jacobses married into prominent San Francisco families, and for some time occupied the same dwelling here, previous to changing their residence to Portland. When the Jacobs brothers acquired their interests In the woolen mill by purchasing Btock held by various parties It had al ready been in operation for several years. In about 1S62, the woolen mill was con structed by a company known as the Oregon Woolen Manufacturing Company, and when supplementary articles of In corporation were filed the name wan changed to the Oregon City Manufactur ing Company. The original capital stock was 560,000, but when, the Jacobres and Browns secured the control of the stock the capital of the concern was Increased to $100,000, and later to 5200.000. Previous to the building of the woolen mill, Major Thomas Charman and the late Arthur Warner went to San Francis co to Investigate the workings of a mill in operation there. The manager, learn ing that they contemplated building a mill In Oregon City, refused to admit them to the Interior of the structure. However, through the intervention of a director of the concern, they were admit ted to the mill and secured the Informa tion desired. Among others Interested in founding the Oregon City woolen mill were L. D. C. Latourette, A. L. Lovejoy, William W. Buck, W. Cary Johnson, Will iam Whltlock, Forbes Barclay, Dan.lel Harvey, George H. Atkinson, J. L. Bar low, William Barlow, John D. Dement, X. P. Thompson, A. H. Steel, General Palmer and Harker Bros., of Portland. Captain Pratt, who died at Salem, last Winter, superintended the construction of this mill. Oregon City and Clackamas County people subscribed to the stock liberally, and shares were also sold in Various Valley towns and In San Fran cisco, while the product was sold to the trade throughout Oregon and In Califor nia. It may have been as late as 1864 be fore the mill was in successful opera tion, the memory of those interested in the concern being a little indistinct as to exact dates. However, It was about 1866 when the Jacobs brothers acquired their interest in the mill, D. P. Thompson being president, and James Winston secretary of the cor poration at that time. The original stock holders disposed of their holding, and it is said that the late W. S. Ladd held one third of the stock for several years, but this was subsequently secured by Brown Bros, and B. Suderman For a number of years the Browns did considerable selling for the mill through their San Francisco wholesale house, but for the past eight or nine years the prin cipal selling of the products was accom plished through the New York agency of the mill, conducted by one or two of the younger Jacobs boys. There is also a selling agency In Chicago. In 1873 a fire destroyed the interior of the mill and the machinery had to le re placed. In 1595 the machine shop and dyehouse was burned, but was soon re built with many Improvements. After securing control of the woolen mill, the Jacobs brothers closed their store here, and later opened a wholesale, clothing house In Portland, which did a cood business with the trade on the Coast for a number of years. Then they concentrated their efforts to supplying the larger trade In the East. During late years a soap factory was added to the woolen mills business, and last Win ter a large tannery was erected to handle cheep hides. In addition to their manu facturing interests the Jacobses own a large farm on the West Side, where fruit and heps are produced extenslvoly. C. N. Greonman, who has done the Ja cobs brothers transfer business here for tho past 34 years, says that, whllo they were close In their business transactions, they were honorable, and there has never been any difference"? between him and them. In the matter of taxation, county officials assert that they never had any trouble with the woolen mill manage ment. While wages generally were small dur ing the past few years, many of the woolen mill employes own their own homes, and have practically grown up In the factory. Several of the old-time fore men acquired competences and have re tired or are engaged In business on their own account. Contemporary with the Jacobses were other prominent business men who made their Btart in Oregon City. Among them were tne JJusenburys, who went to Tho Dalles; Samuel and Aahor Marks, who went to Roseburg and Canyonville; Kahn brothers, now of Portland; O. N. Teal, the Ackermans and the Wolfs. OREGON MINING STOCK EXCHANGE. Sales for tlie 'Week "Were More Than 380,000 Shares. The Oregon Mining Stock Exchange will open for business as usual at 10:30 A. M., Monday, and continue every day during tho week at that hour. Yesterday's call concluded two large sales Secretary Hard says he Is glad the broker? who thus far came from the East, been. .. of the organization of tho exchange urc doing a satisfactory busi ness, and he Is more than delighted to see how those of Portland's brokers that have had tho courage to branch out In the onlr right way to handle mining .stocks, I are catching on and no telling but what they will be teaching the Colorado boys tricks before cool weather comes and the Beacon's business gets in full blast. There Is great satisfaction also to be able tp state that the companies whose stocks are called dally upon the ex change are all officered and managed by good men and in every instance are get ting a fair show for their money. Among the lower-price stocks a great advance may come any time upon reliable infor mation that something new has been en countered in way of a new vein. This is what makes stocks Jump nigh. One of the higher-price stocks that has been called since the exchange started Is pay ing a monthly dividend amounting to better than 20 per cent on the price so far a3ked for the stock. That quotations have been maintained, is shown from the fact that no stocks have been offered without a purchaser at prices quoted. The shares to be sold on the exchange at $100 are all subscribed and no more can be had at that money, except a few that have not been paid for, and will be sold before the price Is raised. Three thousand seven hundred dollars was paid last week for seats on the Colorado Springs Exchange. The secretary says ho does not expect shares on the Oregon Mining Stock Exchange will be worth $3700 this year, but prophecies that a big advance will be jDald for shares before Christmas. The brokers on tho exchange are selling the stocks and the companies that have applied for listing are the com panies whose stocks are being sold. Two or three new companies aro sure to go on the board next week. Among them will be the Great Northern of Eastern Oregon, and the Musick of Bohemia. George W. Xiloyd reports much Interest is taken In our exchange In Boston, and states that much Eastern capital is look ing towards tho Northwest and all eyes are on Portland as the coming city.

Will Lend to Sevrers and Other Im provements at Baker City. BAKER CITY, July 2S. After what has seemed to the people of Baker a long, weary and dusty wait, the first dirt was thrown from the reservoir for the new water system. About 25 men are at work and the number will be Increased as rap idly as possible till 250 or 800 are engaged at various points along the line. Undor the contract the now works are to be In operation by November 1, and will add not only to the fire protection, but also displace a. serious deficiency In water for actual household, as well as lawn and street purposes. The construction of these waterworks will pave the way for a new growth in Baker City, as It will be followed by the establishment of a much-needed sewer systom. Prom a sanitary standpoint both these are desirable. NORTHWEST DEAD. JT. T. Tlehnor, Washington Pioneer. CENTRALTA, Wash., July 23. J. T.

NOT AN ALLY OF ANICENY. Senator Foster Makes Denial of Persistent Reports. Tacoma News. For some time past the rumor has been current in the state press outside of Ta coma that Senator Addison G. Foster had formed a political alliance with the Ankeny forces; and that the Walla Walla banker has secured Senator Foster's promise of support to his Senatorial as pirations. This rumOr lias -become more Insistent dally, and It was Insinuated that Senator Foster's most recent politi cal entanglement was substantiated oy his reported opposition tp all political factions In this state other than the An keny faction. It was openly charged that Senator Foster promised Mr. An keny that he (Foster) would secure the removal of certain present Federal of ficials In this state, such as tho Post-, master at Seattle, the supeVlntendent of the assay office in that city, and others, if any sort of tangible charges could be brought against these officials at Wash ington City. The existence of these rumors was brought to Senator Foster's attention last evening, and in reply Senator Foster mada the following emphatic denials, after first having shown inclination to disown any knowledge of the rumors: "It Is absolutely false that I have made any political arrangement with Mr. An keny. I am not throwing my support to the Ankeny forces. There Is absolutely nothing politically between the Ankeny faction and myself. "Make, the statement for me, unquali fiedly, that as far as I am concerned, or have knowledge, the rumor about the proposed removal of Federal officers is manufactured out of whole cloth. I never have entortalned such an Idea. I nevor made such a promise to Mr. Ankeny or to any person representing Mr. Ankeny In fact, I never dlscuWed such a move with anybody. I have nothing to do at Wash ington with Federal incumbents In this state. "Furthermore, I am absolutely free from any political ontanglement such as that you say Is accredited me. I was elected by the people, and my Idea is to serve tho people not political captains, or their cohorts." ABOUT MILCH COWS. A Moxcc Cow That Gives Sixty rounds of Milk Dnily. Yakima Republic A. D.

Candidate for Governor's Nomination Goes Into Print. Seattle Times, July 27. E. Helster Gule today Issued the follow ing public statement In answer to an ed itorial in the Post-Intelligencer of this morning criticising him for his attitude In the present Gubern,atlonal contest in the Republican party: "Seattle, July CT. (To the Editor of the Times.) Usually a candidate for public office Is unwise to attempt the refutation of every campaign argument or falsehood that may be made and circulated against him. But in my particular case the Post-Intelligencer, the supposed organ of the Republican party, before the county convention .has assembled, has wilfully, maliciously and falsely charged that my candidacy for the nomination for Gover nor is a false, pretended and dishonest one; that I am acting in league and In concert with Mayor Humes, and with tho express Intention of throwing him whatever strength I may have In tho convention. In view of such charges 1 deem it my duty to state plainly and clearly to the public my position In this campaign. I have no arrangement or agreement whatsoever with either of the other candidates for Governor, or with their supporters or managers, whereby my strength shall be thrown to them, or either of them. I am making a sin cere, earnest and honest fight for the nomination for Governor, and it is an in sult to the honesty and integrity of the gentlemen who are so kindly and gener ously aupporUng me, and who will act as delegates for me In the convention, to as sert that I am occupying a false posi tion. The men who are supporting me are not cattle, that can be herded and driven wherever desired. If I should not develop sufficient strength to get tho nom ination they would vote for whichever candidate they pleased.

We are advised from a reliable source that work on the Oregon Midland -nill commence within the next 60 days. The route, however, we understand, has not been fully decided by the company. That Is, whether the road will be built on the line as at present surveyed, or whether it will bo built all the way up the Klam ath River. Wo learn that inducements have been offered the company to chango the present line and continue directly up Klamath River. Tho company seems to bo experiencing some difficulty In securing right of way on the line as at present surveyed, but have the assurance of a free right, of way on tho river line. Tho abovo brief statement may be re lied on as authentic and wo urge the own ers Of land on the present surveyed route to donate tho right of way to tho company without delay, Timber lands, as all know, are comparatively worthless without a railroad to take the timber and lumber to market. Hence, self-interest alone teaches overy sensible man that a donation of tho right of way Is a mighty cheap and easy way to double tho value of his property. It Is not only profitable for himself, but equitable to wards the company. As to a road up tho river, it will not be so good for the timber-owner, being more distant and not so accessible. But it will be equally well for the road, for the right of way will cost nothing, and the route from Klama thon Is at least 20 mlle3 shorter by the river route than by the one heretofore surveyed. Broom and Broom Corn. Yakima Herald. J. B. McKay, of Sunnyslde, was in the city Wednesday delivering brooms to tho trade. The broom corn was raised by John Chrisholm in 1SS3 as an experiment, but as he knew nothing about marketing It and the conditions for shipment under the Northern Pacific tariff were unfavor able, he stored It away. The crop through out the United States has been a failure for two years, and as a result the prices Jumped from 40 to 5133 per ton. Mr. Mc Kay, hearing that Mr. Chrisholm had about six tons fit broom corn on hand, came here from the Sound and quickly mado arrangements for Its manufacture. He says no better corn for this purpose Is raised anywhere than that of the Sunny side district, and that under proper con- roda and IaKe a FeGord. ditlons, Yakima should furnish all of tha hrnntra -lie..? rn Via T .lftj nn. ft 1 great Industry, he maintains, can bo built up lr tne railroads will give rates. Mr. McKay has broom corn' enough for about 7C0 dozen brooms, which cuts but a small figure in the demand, as It Is estimated that 1.5CO.0CO broms are purchased dally In tho United States.
