ALL FOR $1.50 Paying Industries For Enterprise l A wool scouring plant ought to pay well in Enterprise and certainly would be bf great benefit to the owners ot Bheep and indirectly to tbe count', said E. B. Knapp, late of Coleman, Mich., who recently'locnted in Enterprise. At present the wool crop of Wallowa county is rated at onlv from 30 to 40 per cent wool, the buyers making a very liberal estimate of the amount of grease and dirt. In Mh Knapp's opinion the rating should be from 40 to 60 per cent. '1'he price here ranges from 17 to 20 cents a pound. In Boston scoured wool is sold at from 68 to 72 cents. In other words the sheep men of Wallowa county not only lose from tbe low rating, but pay tbe freight on the grease and dirt across the continent and the profits of scouring at some plant in the East. It certainly seems reasonable that a scouring plant would pay here. The wool seller would not only receive a higher price per pound but would be given credit for more pounds. The cost of sec uring would be paid out in wages here at home, and the profit on the operation would also remain here, building up a larger and better market for all other things the farmers have to sell, i' . . There is no doubt of such an enter prise paying if yarn aud knitting mills were run in connection. There are two Industries in which factor!' s can not keep, up with orders even running night and day, and they aro the shoe and knitting industries. Knitting mills everywhere in the East are over crowded with orders si d are making ii. mense profits. The demand for knit goods has increased in a wonderful way during the last few years, and while factories have multiplied yet not fast enough to supply the demand. A knitting mill, while it requires expert management,, and a certain number of experienced help, can be started on a smaller scale and with less capital than a mill making woolen cloth. . Tbe matter seems a promising one for investigation by the Commercial club Pioneer Roofing, sold by Hart'hona & Keltner, the Enterprise Hardware storj, is guaranteed to equal the best.
