The Woolen Mill Quutitluii.
Wo notice in Tesdiiy's Orogonian that
a representative of a syndicate who pro
poses to build woolen mills in tiie North
west, thinks seriously of so doing in
Portland, The property owners of the
east Bide are trying hard to induce him
to build such a mill, and are negotiating
to donate such a site, Why this man
should pick out Portland for such au in
dustry, is more than we can see, Why
not build in a town like The Dalles,
where about 7,000,000 pounds of wool of
different grades are annually unloaded

from the freighters' w agone, and thus
save transportation to other points.
We have all the requirements for mills
and factories in the ay of almost un
limited water power, aB well as abund
ant fuel, and with freight rates almost
terminal, in some cases terminal. We
enjoy all these advantages and many
more, and for that reason it seems un
accountable that a woolen mill has not
been built hero years ago.
If one enterprise of this kind were be
gun, outside capitalists would awake to
the fact of The Dalles being a superior
place as a manufacturing center and
others will be induced to invest in like
enterprises. Without doubt our prop
erty owners will do as much, and more,
than those of any other city in the -state
towards donating a suitable site and
offering other encouragement towards
such an enterprise. If a move is but
made in this direction, they will be suc
cessful.
