HISTORY
n
(Concluded.)
Wheat has been the life, the main
spring, the backbone of this wonder
ful country. Panics mny come and
go, business Institutions may fall,
misfortunes may befall other enter
prises, but the wheat crop never falls.
In oyer 30 years there has not been
a failure In this section of Umatilla
county. The oorest producing years
finds this si'ctlon.of the country yield
ing 25 and 30 bushels of wheat to the
acre and the prosperous years find
It producing as high as 50 and fiO
hushclK to the acre.
Shipments.
There are two extensive wheat buy
ers at Weston. The Pacific Coast El
evator Co., Is represented by Tt. Jam
leson, who hns been buying wheat for
a number of years. The company has
a warehouse 40x200 and for the past
four years Air. Jamleson has handled
an average of 72,000 bush'els of wheat
nnnually for his company.
J. H. Price Is the agent for Kerr,
Glfford & Co., at this place. They
have been established at Weston for
a number of years. They own a ware
house 200x40 feet and handle about
50,000 bushels of wheat annually.
This company also owns a warehouse
at Downing, near this place, 50x100
feet and handles at that point about
35,000 bushels of grain annually.
Flouring Mills.
The Weston Flouring Mills, F. L.
Blair, manager. Is one of her largest
business institutions. The plant cost
about $13,000 and has a capacity of
5(1 to (SO barrels of flour a day. It was
established about four years ago and
has been running on full capacity dur
ing the seasons since that time.
Weston Brick.
H. n. Kelson., the famous Eastern
Oregon brickmaler hns his plant at
this place. He has been in the busi
ness for 23 years and he supplies a
trade for more than a hundred miles
in every direction. Large shipments
nre made to Walla Walla. Pomeroy,
Heupner, and Pendleton draws her
entire supply from this point. One
day last week two carloads were ship
ped, one to Iorie, Oregon, and the
other to Pomeroy, Washington, each
being in opposite directions and near
ly a hundred miles away. Mr. Nel
son estimates that he handles at least
four million brick annually, and owing
to a scarcity of hands the past year
it has been difficult to supply the de
mand for his brick.
The soil is particularly adapted to
mnk-intr hrick. At first glance the
average brickmaker would pronounce
It unfit for the purpose, but after 'he
test is made he finds that it has few
equals as a material for brlckmaking.
It has the appearance of being too
sandy, but sand has to be mixed with
it, and while in a wet state, rain does
it no harm Haiti that would ruin the
average material does not affect this
material, which Is a pale clay.
An average of 40 to 5 men are em
ployed on the yard and It takes abcut
$40 worth of wo-id a day to run the
yard. This results In a large weekly
pay roll in Weston which adds mater
ially to the wealth of the place and in
creases its value as a business point.
Mr. Nelson will take a trip to the
East at an early date and examine
machinery and apparatus and buy
such as he thinks will work best In
this country and will Increase the ca
uacitv and facilities of his yard, mak
Ing It one of the best in the Pacific
Northwest.

Clothes
Not necessarily expensive, as the reason of the unvarying success of the big store
has been its desire, purpose and intent to sell only such merchandise as could be
called trade builders in the true sense. A trade builder is an itotn of merit. The
merit of an article depends uprm the prices asked for it. As wo buy only from the
recognized leaders of American manufactures, wo remove to the utmost limit, all
thought of inferiority, and are in a position to claim first clasB value. Therefore
when you buy at tne big store you get the best, are satisfied while- using it and
pleased to call again. We are pleased to see you return.
