TIIllAMlia.M) IIOOLLA HILLS. eThe business of tho Ashland Woolen Factory is now established upon a per manent and profitable basis, and as it is about to be increased by the enlarge ment of tho manufacturing capacity of the mills, we have thought a brief re view of the enterprise from tho time of its inception might prove of interest to many of our readers. It has been a cllief factor in tho growth and prosperi ty of our town, and is to day.ono of the guarantees of its stability and fu ture progress. The enterprise was inaugurated in 18C7, by Capt. J. M. McCall. Through his efforts the public spirited citizens of this section were led to an appreciation of the advantage to the country of a manufacturing industry of this kind and in the fall of '67 the "Rogue Eivcr Valley Woolen Manufacturing Com pany" was organized. The capital stock was 30,000, which was taken by a largo number of subscribers. The fol lowing is, webclievp, a nearly complete list of the stockholders; J. M. 3Ic'CalI, R. B. Hargadine, John E. Ross, Mrs. Walker, Minus Walker, J. P. Walker, J. M. JUark, Jacob Wagner, C. K. Ivluiii, Lindsay Applegate, T. R, Applegate, L.B. Applegate, I. D- Ap plcgate, O. C. Applegate, B. F. Myer, Irwin Shepherd, Henry Ainmerman, liber Lmery, M. Hartley, C. C. Beek man, L. J. C. Duncan. The mill was built by Mr. J Daley, now of Eagle Point, and the entire out lay required to put it in readiness for operation was 31,500. The company began business with Mr. McCall as pres ident nud business manager, and Mr. Daley as foreman, and the first products of the looms were hailed with pleasure by the people of Southern Oregon and Northern California. In the Jackson ville Sentinel of Feb. 7th, 1869, ap peared the following noti;e of the first appearance of the Ashland goods in the market; ',', "" AithlRnd, Or.,Feb.-4 18C0 Editor Se.ntixxl: PleTBfe accept the accompanying specimen of manufact-. ured goods from tho R. R. V. Mfg. Co. ftlills at thisplacc, with thecompliiiients of tho company. We send you this as a token of our appreciation of your sympathy and as sistance in our struggles in starting the enterprise, and hopa jou may have it manufactured into a suit and be proud to wear it as tho production of our home manufactory, of which you acted no inconsiderable part in assist ing to inaugurate. Very truly yours, J." M. McL'all, Pics. Co With the above handsome letter wo received enough cloth of Ashland manu facture to make a full suit. It is a splendid article and good enough for a millionaire. Wo w ill be proud to wear it, and while thanking the company for their generous acknowledgment of our efforts in behalf of an important industrial enterprise, we may bo per mitted to express the hope that the public will appreciate its importance to Southern Oregon, and sustain it liber ally. May the pioneer spindles of Southern Oregon never cease humming, and may every citizen of Jackson coun ty soon be appareled in the splendid product of the Ashland looms. Changes in the ownership of tho stock after a time threw most of it into a few hands, and in July, 1874, the mills were sold to G. II. Marshall and Chas. Goodchihl. In 1875 James Thornton bought of them a one-third interest, and in 1878 purchased the en tire property. In February, 1879, Jacob Wagner, E. K. Anderson, W. II. Atkinson and E. F. Walker bought a h interest in tho mills. Tho business from the beginning had paid tho ex penses of operating the mills, but its era of profitable success dates from this time. In August last J. M. McCall bought E. F. Walker'8 interest in the mill, and the company is now composed of Jas. Thornton, Jacob Wagner, J. M. McCall, W. II. Atkinson and E. K. Anderson. Mr. Thornton is superin tendent, and Mr. Atkinson manages the office business. The mills now have an enviablo rep utation for turning out tho best blank ets, flannels, cassimeres and socks to bo found in the market. The products of the mills during the past year were worth from .$10,000 to 50,000, and something over 100,000 lbs. of wool was used. This year the capacity will be increased from 25 to 50 per cent. Twenty-one regular hands are employed in the mill, and when the new machin ery is in use seven more Lauds will be required. Besides these, some 20 to 40 wompn make something at their homes by finishing socks made at the mill. The wages paid out each month amounts to between 61000 and 1100, and the increase of hands will swell the monthly pay to nbout 1,100. It is asy to see how the town is bene fitted. Tidings. cueamm; the sea. The expression to pour oil on the troubled waters, generally regarded as a metaphor or figure of speech, illus trating the action of some persuasive peacemaker, softening the angry pass ions of contending disputants. On the other hand, the mollifying influence of oleaginous Hquidsupcn the waves va3 long ago demonstrated as a scientific fact, and theequinoctinl gales would probably have been kept in sub jection ere now, on theliigh seas, but for the uncertainty of tho weather and the expense of oiling an area as limited even as the Bay of Biscay. It would appear, however, that a gentleman of Perth has solved tha problem of economy as applied to greasing the sea, and that in future ships may carry with them a supply of oil to nullify the rigors of the fiercest cyclones. A Northern cohfemi cTary states that a number of experiments havo lately taken place in the North Har bor, Peterhead, with the most satisfac tory results. Tho experimentalist filled some bottles full of nil nnd ,,!, them to tho bottom r.F Hmliivl,.- ,l,;i - ...v UVI II11IIU a gale was blowing. Presently the oil was released, and floated to the top of the raging billows, quieted them as if by a miracle. As a consequence of this experiment, it is thought in tho neighborhood of Perth that oil can bo laid on- continu ously by pipes to tho bars of ajl ex posed harbors, so as to enable crafts to gain port in safety in the midst of tho most violent hurricanes. The invention would be most invalu able if applied to the Channel passage in dirty weather. Day after day wa are taugnt that there are no bounds to the conquest of science over nature. and now- that we can oil out the ugly wrinkles of the stormy ocean we need not despair of being able, sooner or later, to warm tke Kortk 5l -r'fh Greatf Drs'erfeby 'artificial' irrigation. London Spectator. Exports from the Columbia river for the year 1S81 amounted in valuo to fully 1 1,000,000. Direct exports to foreign countries, as our tables pub lished yesterday show, reached a valuo of 8,019, 118. Adding exports to San Francisco, consisting of wlfcat, flour. wool, salmon and other products, tha value of which at a modcrato estimate .vould be 6,000,000, wo have the total above indicated. Salmon alone shipped to San Francisco reached a total of 222,000 cases, valued at 1,100,000. Wheat shipments henco to that city wern about 400,000 centals, valued at 000,000, and flour shipments 320,000 sacks, valued ot about 400,000. Of wool, 27,762 bales were shipped, hav ing a value of about 1,100,000. Oats, flaxseed, potatoes, hides, hops, etc., would make up another half million of value. It is therefore a safe estimate that tho value of exports from the Col umbia river for the year was 14,000,- 000 in all. This showing is highly cred itable to the industry of 250,000 peo ple. How to Make Coml ISarou. Pigs must not be extra fat to mako the best of bacon, anil the spare-rib lean must be left on the ribs, tha bono must bo cut out, and the sides cut square nnd smooth; the trimmings can bo made into sausage or go with tho fat into lard. Tho first six months is tho most growing ago for a pig, nnd at this ago they are suitable for the pur pose. After that they begin to get too thick and fat. Bacon may be cured the same as hams and shoulders, only it does not require so long salting. Usually the salt is rubbed on tha pieces, and they are piled up for a few days to let it strike through. Three rubbings are enough. It should never be allowed to freeze during the curing, and if frozen it must be thawed out by soaking it in water. Bacon will take in salt enough, unless the sides are very thick, in three weeks, when it is ready to be smoked. After being smoked it may bo hung in a dry, cool plase, or packed in dry salt or in tight boxes. Ex. The Ciiamfiox Hon. Hinclay and Getchell of the Lanrolles ranch, Mon terey Co. Cal., killed a Jersey Red or Duroc hog on Dec. 24th that weighed 1018 lbs. It is said that this breed can be marketed much sooner than any other breed.
