Thc Destruction of the IVoolcn Mills.
!
Elsewhere we give a full account j
of the destruction of those in air-
nificeiitmill?, which were not only j
the pride of our city, but of the I
whole Stale. Tlie fabrics manufac
tured at the mill have gained a
world wide reputation, and their
destruction cannot fail to be a loss j
to our entire State. Oregon City
will feel their destruction most
severely. AJont one hundred j
white operatives are thorwn out of
employment, and the loss of rSO.
000 capital in such an institution
will take a long time to be replaced.
MVc are not informed positively
whether the present company pro
pose to immediately rebuild, but
we are satisfied that they cannot
allow the property saved to go to
ruin, and that they will sooner or
later put the mill into operation
again. But that is not what is
needed. The miil should be rc
Inilt at once.
A meeting of our citizens was held
lastVTednesday evening for the pur
pose of giving expression of their
sympathy and to raise substantial
aid for rebuilding. Full proceed
ings had at this meclinir will be
found elsewhere in this issue. The
meeting was well attended, anil
appropriate speeches were made
by many of our citizens, and a
ppirt of sympathy and enterprise
which should give eucouragment
to the owners to rebuild at once.
The principal owners of these i
mills are Messrs. Jacob :ros., W.
S. Ladd, and Urowii Eros. "Ye
learn that the insurance on the
building. $77,500, will nearly re
place the building and machinery
and put it in operation.
The unjust reports which have
gained circulation and which are
greatly magnified, iif regard to
people refusing to aid in the sav
ing of goods, we do not care lu re
to repeat. They are not made by
any responsible persons of our
city, and hence the people here are
not to be held accountable for
these utterances. Tlie citizens all
worked nobly to save property and
to check the flames. All did their
duty.
Every encouragement should be
given to the Company to induce
them to immediately go to work
o -
and rebuild, and we believe our
citizens will give every assistance
in their power to the accomplish
ment of this end.
Ihe employes who" are thus
thrown out of employment deserve
the sympathy of our citizens, and i
we hope it will not be long before j
they may again be engaged in
their occupation.

Goo. E. C. "Retainer!" "Re

THE FACTOirr WILL EE KEECILT
THE FINEST WATER l'OWEE IX
THE AVOIiLD.
From the Oregon Bulletin of
last Tuesday we take the folio w
notice of our city.
Notwithstanding our sister city
at Willamette Falls has received a
terrible blow by the destruction of
the woolen mills, which throws a
large number of operatives out of
employment, its friends long ago.
in previous disasters, adopted the
motto which foims the caption to
this article, and will never despair
of' their hopes yet to see the place
a large and manufacturing city. A
low of well-built stores lining for
the most part both sides of the
principal street for the distance of
nearly half a mile, and magnticent
warehouses and tionrimr mills, with
a river tilled with steamers, attest
that there is no room for doubt but
that Oregon City w discontinue to
row and eventually Income what
has often been predicted for it
the Lowell of the Pacific- coast.
the water fowei:
Afforded by the Willamette Falls
at Ore. -on City is enormous, and
of such extent that when utilized
it will turn the shafts of more mills
and manufactories than are in ex
istence at the present time on
the whole Pacific slope, and then
have waUT to spare. This water
power is created by a descent of
the Willamette river of about l'JO
feet in a distance of two miles,
with an actual fall of seventy feet
over an iinp"vihable solid basalt
wall, and has been computed by
competent engineers to be equal to
2-10,000 horse power. Another es
timate made at a very low stage
of the river fixed the volume of
water passing per minute over the
Fails at nine hundred, thousand
cubio feet. It is difficult, if not
impossible, to realize, by a mere
statement oi' figures, an ade-epiate
conception of the immense power
indicated by them. In order to
give a better idea of its vastuess,
we will illustrate by comparisons.
A great amount of machinery may
be driven by an engine of 2 horse
power, while that ef the Willam
ette Falls is equivalent to 12,000
such engines. Again, the practi
cal experience of manufacturers in
form us that one-horse power is
sutlicieut to grind one bushel of
wheat per hour. Allowing for the
necessary power te drive the ma
chinery for bolting, ete, there is
power enough hcr-i to grind 200,
000 bushels, or 40,000 barrels of
wheat per hour, or annually more
than live times the whole amount
of the average wheat crop of the
United States.
A V A I I. A I".I KIT Y Op WATER TOWER.
There are four prominent things
which render this water power
peculiarly available : 1, The solid
rock forming the bed of the
stream and foundations for build
ings; 2, The facilities for building
canals parallel with the river ; IJ,
The situation, being at tide water,
