Importance? fand - Future ;bf
woor Manufacturing on
' Coast Oescfi bed ' :
That colleges and universities
of the country were paying too
much attention , to the educatln,
of young men to produce and" t
little toward ' teaching' them
sell was the criticism made at t
Chamber of Commerce luncheon
Monday by C P. " Bishop, one'et
the oldest woolen mfll 'owners "on
the Pacific coast, who talked upon
manufacturing of wool and the
possibilities of the future.
"Educate the young men to
understand business methods In
other countries in order that we
may dispose of our own snrplas
and we will arrive at a solution tO
present problems," Mr. Bishop
declared. "Religious missionaries
are - necessary and are doing a
fine work, and we might do well
to ' place commercial missionaries
in other countries." V V
' Under the system outlined b
the speaker, a crew of ypnnft.m'eA
would "be placed In various coun-
tries to study " condif Ions," learn,
methods and needs-and prepare a
market for American manufac
tured goods.
"If the people In the Willa
mette valley could have a ready
market for one-third of their
prune' crop, for instance, the' re
maining two-thirds Vould" take
care of itself and-bring in a pro
fit," the speaker said. "It is not
a violation of the business code of
ethics td sell a1 surplus In foreign
countries at lower prices than are
received at home. If by so doing
they Insure steady 'production in
home plants and are" prevented
from discharging employes and
disrupting organizations in slack
times." V ' ver
In speaking of the present
woolen situation of the Pacific
coast, Mr. Bishop said that be
tween 10 and 12 millions of
pounds of wool Is manufactured
annually by the various " coast
mills, which are located from
Long Beach. Calif., on the south
to Seattle ' on the ' north.'; A ma
jority of the mills are in Oregon,
which, he said, is destined to be
come the greatest woolen mahtf
faeturtng country In "- the ' World
owing to its climatic conditions
and the abundance of water, both
for power and for 'cleansing the
wool.' All of the mills are report
ed to be doing well at present. -
Two fundamental - principles
that apply to every business as
well as to that of woolen manu
facturing. Mr. Bishop said, were
a knowledge of bow to make tne
article and how, where and to
whom (o sell.
Woolen articles 'manufactured
in the . state vary from yarns to
fabric used to uphdlster automo
biles and include suitings, cloth
ing, overcoats,' blankets, bathing
suits, robes, bathrobes and socks.
Pacific coast mills are located
at the fouowing' points: ; LOng
V'f --, f 1 r-
Beach, Calif., one of the newest
and most completely equipped of
the mills; Eureka. Calif., a .Bishop
organization mill; the Eugene
Woolen mill, owned by the Coppy
family; Brownsville, on$ of the
oldest on the coast and built in
1866. This mill, he saidhad been
abandoned for several years, but
was taken over two years by J. L.
Bowman, who operates a chain of
clothing stores; the Thomas, B.
Kay mill. Salem: Stay ton. with

Sentiment Favors Having
Home Man Design New
Junior High School -
There Is a "very strong sentiment
in Salem, which likely will be
brought to hear upon the Salem
school board, in favor, of .employ
ing a: local architect -to build ;the
hew junior high school which "re
cently was approved by5 a- vote ' of
the people. 'The building s- to
cost about $200,000. The question
will come hp for consideration at
the meeting of the school board
tonight , when it will be .a special
order of business. : .
At the. last meeting it was sug
gested that W. C. Knighton : of
Portland be employed. -There is
some objection to- him because
some members of the board, par
ticularly. P. M. Gregory, William
Gahlsdorf and L. J. Slmeral be
lieve the work should go to a lo
cal' architect, 'and also because Of
some dissatisfaction with' Knight
on relative to plans , he prepared
for the Grant Junior high school
These plans were discarded by
the hoard because ! ft'1 was found
mat the building according to
Knighton's plans - could not be
built for. less than $103,000. al
though he "was ' awarded Ihe con
tract to design a building that
would 'not cost over $85,000.
' Although the vplana were dis
carded : Knighton ' "presented ' a
claim of $2790. The' board paid
$1000 of this and attempted to
get the architect to reduce the re
mainder. When approached
about this Knighton Is said f to
have replied that he would con
sider' making 'some concession af
ter the architectural contract for
the new junior high school build
