(io would not look for a really VTeientious' foundry anywhere in the agricultural Wil lamette Talley; but here it is, through following Emerson"8 ad vice. They have actually built their letter stove, and the world is ragging them day and night for more rtoves and castings and whoever they will make. Wide Exprl?nre The company started' in with practically no capital buit its per sonal experience and character. Charles Johnson had worked for 23 years in foundries and iron works, all the way from Portland. Oregon, to Verveuil, Fitance; in the latter place, as a sergeant in the United States army, he built and operated a brass foundry for the motor repair department of the army, tBat brought "him a Histinguishel service citation from General Pershing. He has mould ed irons and metals, under almost every possible condition; and it takes a wide experience to really know how to run a general foun dry where ko many Individual problems arise as they doi out here in the isolated west; William Gehrke .has ha4 an even longer Iron experience; It runs to almost 4 0 years. He' was for a number of yeirs. with the Salem Iron works In Salem i in the Portland foundries for some years; and his very firs such work was in Madison, Wis consin. He has been doing foun dry work in Oregon ever since 1889. The two men became frlenda three years ajjo. and agreed to try out the business on their own hook. They picked Silverton as a likely prospect, and moved there a little more than two years ago. I , Rnllt From Ground Up , The companies that made and Fold melting furnaces wanted al most $1000 for a furnace. such as they needed. "Won't pay It," said the new foundrymen. "We'll build one of our own and save the cost for our patrons." They did built it, from their, own de signs; they saved several hun dred dollars Tor their patrons, as fhey had said. They built almost every other item of equipment in their shop, save the dynamo that drives the glast fan. The beat commercial furnace on the mar ket is not more efficient than their own home-made production; most of them are not nearly a effective or economical In opera tion, let alone In first cost. Work In With luWpipe Co. Forming a working , alliance with the Silverton Rlowpipe com pany, they established themselves in a building adjoining that notable sheet iron factory, and set to wofk. They do all the cast ing for the Sibloco Inrnace! Some of this casting Is of a qual ity to daunt any but the most skillful founders; for the stove Marlon Fruit frrr .tovp, made by Silverton Fonndry Seamless Hot Water ' Bottles and j Combination Syringes Guaranteed Not To teak Prices from $1 up Brewer Drug Co. 406 Conrt SU Phone 184 r - r : 7 -j,". h I? work, where thin, stron? shells must be produced, is about the most difficult of all casting Jobs. The great expansion of the Sib loco business is due in part to the excellence of the castings it puts out from the Silverton Foun dry company. Igsing Mh hinc Kc-paii-M The company has gone largely into logging machine repairs for almost the whole Willamette val ley. It costs a mint to tie up a big sawmiff for an hour or a day or a week: to get mill repairs from the original factories is ruinous in both time and actual expense. The Silverton company has made a specialty of this line of heavy work, and, through per sonal acquaintance with almost every plant in the valley, and through its ability to make good castings on a few minutes or hours of notice, has built up a tiemendous business. "We are able to do - much of our casting direct from the broken parts instead of having to make wooden moulds," said Mr. John ron, telling ot this phase or their business. "It takes a good deal more skill and experience, but where the founder has these he can save his patrons much money and much more time by using the parts themselves for moulds. We reproduce some very heavy stuff in this way, with gratifying results." It may surprise many leaders, as it did The Statesman writer, to know how quickly a casting can be prepared on an emergency call. The fire Is laid in the turnace. and the coke turned in; it takes about an hour lo got the fire tip to the prop" temperature. Thfn the imn is charged into the fur nace, and within five minutes, or atMhe most 10 minutes, the mol ten iron can be drawn for a cast. The mould may be prepared while the fire is starting, it will be possible to get a castfng in an almopt incredibly short t ime, where the pattern or the broken part is at once available for niak Ine th mould. It will actually take longer for the iron. to cool after the part is cst than it may) take to start the cold furnace ready to make the casting. . The Silverton company has not installed an expensive line of lathe or machine equipment. ' . "We are foundrymen. not ma chinists." saH Mr. Johnson. "We do not believe it is necessary, or desirable, to load the cost of a $10,000 machine equipment on the occai6nal patron of the foun dry. Most of the big machine users have their own "lathes and finishing outfitsand they can do this machine work perfectly well. We are foundry specialists, and we follow Emerson In making our castings the very best that can be made. That's how we make our business grow." .

IS i Interior View of ae Silverton Foundry Ck. ipay cfee lo $12,000 a year in wageA where two years ago there fasn't a cent paid in Sil vertonjor foundrymen, and the mills Id the workers lost tens of thousalls of dollars in time and lost , btiness while waiting for repairitrom the original factor ies, fe " ; Somilocal iron is used, good rastingiof snfflcient Fize to give them d iron. Iron can't well be usef infle.rinitely; It changes chemicjiy with every cast, and, after o or three meltings. withonttemperins, may become so har(jnd brittle as to be al most utrorkable. The usfng of old eastfgs over and over is one of the setting sins of" the in experieriid foundryman; h 1 s wares dtnot have the workable quality d the liTe of new iron they $e like Fhoddy compared to virgirtwool. Most of the iron used byhe Silverton company comes toportland in ship ballast, and is rfthipped to them in car lots. Tljir coke also comes in car lots:hey aim to have a sup ply aiwai on hand tor several months, o provide for every energenef order or break-down of transnftation. There n't much "waste" in handlingjon, if the men them pelves arfcarefui and don't spill it in th- shoes or on then clothes. Ibout 1 to 2 per cent on large castgSi for good clean iron, is possiblithotish that is a rath er beUptrpor(i than is usually made on feneral small work.

The making 1 brake shoes for WF laitar Wtta ttoaiMl TraaMa vhaa If '-T? - y 1 Plant logging cars and locomotives has grown Into a really big. Indus try. The brake shoes wear out fearfully fast on the heavy log ging road grades, where the In cline may be up to 10 per cent. Tho Silverton company is mak ing a- special steel-backed stan dard shoe for cars that though they might break as they wear thin and receive a heavy shock in use, can not fall off and be a derailing demon; the rolled ateel back holds tbe broken parfs In an unbreakable grasp. No homo genous cast shoe j ot either iron or etcel can be trusted; but these laminated shoes simply can't fly to pieces, though they were shat tered in many parts. The same kind of shoes are made for both the Heisler and the Shay logging locomotives, and they are taking the market by storm. . ! Mrs. Edna Jonnson Is the sec retary of the company, and han dles all th accounts. The men of the corporation. Messrs Johnson and Gehrke. find that to devote their whole time "to the active, su pervision of the foundry, and to be on ihe job for every Important de tail that means to make their goods better, is their best activity; and Mrs. Johnson , handles! the correspondence most capably; as a stockholder and active; manager of the concern. Patterns are made In the shop, wherever nectssaTy; though In much of their repair work, they are able to mould direct from the original replacement parts. Sonic of the companies for whom they! do standard work. Have thai r own patterns, which are supplied oe demand. The company regular!) supplies castings for other fur nace and stove firms in the ral- t v.- but it does nothing of sheerr metal work for itaelT. $heet metal workins is entirely apart from casting, and we know the one by heart and some one; else knows the other. We both ;stlck to our jobs and do expert iworlt all around," is the Johnson slate- meni on the mixing ot employ ment. From 10 to 12 tons or iron a week is their fair average oitpnt; this comprising a curioua r.inge oi regular aud unusual work, jlney do some heavy building casting, columns and footplates and, man holes, but do uo built-up girder or structural sheet steer work; ThU is a separate department of Iron making and they have chosen their specialty and are sticking to it..
