OREGON'S NEW TEXTILE FACTORY Till
The Portland Oregonian's story of
the new fxtile manufacturing town
on the Columbia river at Gordon Falls,
to which place it is proposed to re
move the Pendleton woolen mill, is as
follows:
Between a railroad and a river with
an unlimited water power latent in
I.recipilious falls immediately at hand,
and with Ideal weather and geograph
ical conditions, the first textile town
on the Pacific coast and west of the
MiwIMppI river, is to be established
at a point 2s1,! miles east of Portland,
a short distance from Bridal Veil
fails.
The town will be established and
the immense manufacturing plant will
be operated by the Gordon Falls Elec
tric & Manufacturing company, re
cently organized with a capital stock
of 22j,000 The capital stock, how
ever, does not indicate the total cost
of this huge manufacturing enterprise.
Employes to Share Profits.
An Utopian idea Is to be followed In
connection with the numerous em
ployes who will be required In the big
manufacturing settlement. Plans are
to be worked out which will permit
all deserving employes to acquire an
Interest in the company, so that each
may participate in the profits accru
ing from his own labor. Each family
will be provided with a home and suf.
flclent land for a garden. The com'
pany will donate a suitable plat of
land for park and recreation purposes
also for a gymnasium.
Will lie a Dry Town. .
Another feature of unique and
modern interest Is the prohibition of
the Hale of liquor in the town. "The
company has determined," according
to Its official statement, "to prohibit
the sale of Intoxicating liquors upon
Us premises, or the use of such prem
Ises for Immoral purposes, and all
realty transfers or leases will be made
subject to such restrictions, It being
a fact beyond controversy that social
and business conditions will be great
Jy benefited thereby."
The Gordon Falls property begins
at a point 28 miles east of Port
land on the line of the O. R. & N.
railroad and the Columbia river, near
IJrldal Veil, and runs eastward a dls
tonce of three miles, and from the
river on the south to the summit of
and laborers. Also for. the first year
It proposes to expend $39,192 for an
electric light and power plant; 137,-
700 for a woolen mill, and a largo
sum for an excelsior manufacturing
plant.
Work Soon to lirgln.
Work on the various details of the
big undertaking is to begin as soon
as possible. It will provide employ
ment for hundreds of men and will
mean the establishment of another
enterprise In the Immediate vicinity
of the city.
E. Y. Judd of Pendleton, Old, and
of Hartford Conn., a big wool buyer
of the firm of Judd & Root, and T.
Oliver Dowd, a Massachusetts capital
ist, are stockholders In the company.
the mountain' and on to a point south
of the source of the stream known
as Gordon Falls. The source of the
stream Is fn a large basin not far
from the precipice, which Is 1000
feet high.
ProJt Long in Forming.
Three years ago Charles Coopey, a
Portland enthusiast on the subject of
textiles, had his attention directed to
Gordon Falls as a favorable location
for woolen mills and scouring plants.
He vUited the place, discovered con
ditions to be Ideal, and immediately
set about to secure not only the falls
but enough adjacent land upon which
a city might be built.
By his individual efforts he almost
iccomplished his purposes, and with
the formation of a business partner
ship with George L. Peaslee, of Peas-
lee Brothers company, this city, the
object was finally attained.
The organization and Incorporation
of the Gordon Falls Electric & Manu-
facturing company was the result. It
Is Incorporated under the laws of Ore
gon and has a capital stock of (225,-
000.
The company proposes "to develop
and utilize the water power known as
Gordon Falls on Its property, to sell
and lease lands belonging to the com
pany for manufacturing, commercial
and residential purposes, to erect and
pell or lease buildings for residential
purposes, to engage In the manufac
ture of woolen and worsted textiles,
and In such other enterprises as from
time to time may be determined to be
feasible and profitable."
line Facilities for Shipping.
The company's property consists of
840 acres of land situated on the
south bank of the Columbia, and on
the line of the O. R. & N. railroad;
three miles of water frontage rights
on the river; the absolute right to
streams and waterfalls on the proper
ty of the company, which are suffi
cient for the development of 1200
horsepower, and for all domestic,
manufacturing and other uses; the
company also owns several smaller
streams making an additional horse
power of 1000 . The company also
owns supplies of building timber.
The company proposes to expend
$20,000 the first year In erecting a
hotel and cottages for Us employes.

linker City Man Atvnw-d of ' Lnnil
Fraud Ho I Silent.
Baker City, Ore., July 16. Arriving
In Baker City at noon yesterday Dep
uty United States Marshal Nicholson
took In custody H. E. Cooke, who has
been In the Baker county Jail since
last Saturday without any charge
against him on the records of this
county.
It was not long after the marshal
arrived thit the charge of attempting
to defraud the government was made
known and Cooke was arraigned be-
fcr'e United States Commissioner C. A.
Moore of this city. He waived his
right for examination and his bond
was fixed at $5000. He refused to try
to obtain bondsmen and tonight he
was taken to Portland and from there
will be Immediately delivered to the
federal officials In New York city
Up to the time of arrival of the
federal officer Cooke maintained that
he knew not why hewas detained.
After his arraignment he had nothing
to say.
At a local hotel Is a party of 15
people from Elmlra, X. Y., who are
reported to have purchased stock In
the Oregon Ranching & Timber com
pany, of which Cooke was the moving
spirit. Until Cooke was brought be
fore the commissioner these people
maintained that his transactions with
them had been straight and squae,
There Is' more or less concern over
the fact that this city is alive with
federal officers tonight. Every' nn
who has proved up on a timber claim
is going over the transaction In his
mind endeavoring to trace every de
tall so as to be sure that he has not
compromised himself with the law,
It is said that the presence here of
federal officers means there will be
a general shake-down of all timber
transactions In Baker county.
Land Entries Irregular..
La Grande, Ore., July 16. H. E
Cooke, arraigned In Baker City on
lamf fraud charges, is believed to
have Instigated the filing of 39 alleg
ed fraudulent applications In the
United States land office In this city.
Federal detectives have been in this
city for several days Investigating the
entries.

the disastrous effects of a money pan
ic late In the last year the total lum
ber output of the year 1907, accord
ing to figures made public today by
the census bureau, is 2,705,000,000
feet, board measure, more than that
of 1906. The total cut was 40,256,
000.000 feet.
Tho production of lath throughout
the country fell from 3,813.000,000 in
190C to 3,664.000,000 In 1907 but
the production of shingles ran from
11,858,000,000 In 1906 to 11, 950,000,
000 last year.
"The substantial increase In the to
tal production of lnmber In 1907,"
says the report, "was compared with
1906, in spite of the financial strin
gency Is remarkablo, and especially
so In view of certain well-known lo
cal causes. Aside from the car short
age, which necessitated a restriction
of the cut In many localities, the fact
that the Industry of lumber manu
facture was practically suspended on
the Pacific coast early In the fall on
account of the prospective raise In
freight rates by the railroads, mate
rially affected the amount of the out
put." The south was far and above every
other section of the country the big

enormous total of 17,694,218,000 feet

He hammered out six home runs.

S. P. Kimball has a cherry drier
with a capacity of 300 bushels dally
ready to start working Wednesday,
says the Capital Journal. The rest
of his large crop will be pitted and
dried. It is believed to be a solu
tion for the over-production problem
so far as canneries are concerned, as
there Is a large market for dried pit
ted cherries. He has a machine plt
ter that will run with power and pit
as fast as the drier will take them,
and can probably take cherries besides
his own crop. Cherries can be han
dled by driers, long after they are un
fit to go to the cannery, and the best
results are obtained after they are
so ripe as to be sticky.

was louder than serious. Frank Floyd
