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. The
quotations In The Oregonlan arc appre
ciated by its many readers in the Hub

WORK ON THE WATER WORKS.
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.

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."

POLITICS IK SEATTLE.
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.
"I am not responsible for the course

friends may have occasioned in precincts
against me. I Intend to give no favors to
either of the candidates; I ask none from
either of them, but hope that I will havo
the strength of both of them In the con

have not, so far a3 I am aware, betrayed
the trust, reposed In me by the people of

Route for IQamafh Falls Road.
Klamath Falls Republican.
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.

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.
