It will cost you nothing to examine our line of millinery The Fair Department Store Jennings Brick Block Joseph, Oregon In these days, when half the world Is watching Germany and wondering what she will do next la the Way of military expansion or aggression, the Krupp works constitute the binge and pivot on which Germany's military strength turns. They are a constant menace to her foes. It Is here that militant Germany's Inventive genius and productive power are concentrat ed, and here is the birthplace of myr iads of engines destined to deal out death and destruction to those who venture to thwart the Teuton will. The Krupp works dominate the whole of Essen, a town of about 300.- 000 Inhabitants. Situated In the cen ter, close to the railway, they, together with their attendant Institutions, cov er an area of 600 acres. Two thousand trucks and fifty loco motives rush along these tracks 'dally, conveying Germany's guns, armor plates, ammunition and shells to Ger man garrisons, forts, ports and harbors. Six thousand tons of coal, coke and briquets are poured dally Into the huge creature's rapacious jaws. One and a quarter million tons of fuel are required annually to appease Its in' satiable appetite. Passes Hard to Get. It will be plain to the most casual observer that in such circumstances, where Germany's future, prestige and fate are concerned, it Is almost lmpos aible for the foreigner to gain access to the works.. Argus eyed Janitors, semimllltary guards and trusty agents have to be passed and perhaps outwit' ted before the stranger can approach the precincts of Krupp's. To a great many persons the name of Krupp implies only the vast gun and armor plate factory at Essen. This conception does not correspond to facts. The Arm comprises, In addition to the Essen factory, a huge shipbuilding yard the Germania at Kiel, three coal mines employing 10,000 men, iron ore mines in Germany and Spain, three huge smelting works at Engers, Neu- wled and Sayn, the Gruson armor plate works near Magdeburg,' the "Annen1 steel works at Annen, the "Frledrlch Alfred" smelting works at Rhelnbau- sen-Friemershelm and a shipping wharf, with ocean going steamships, at Rotterdam. Feb. 1 last there was a total of 67,062 men employed at these establishments, including 6,779 officials. As a striking Instance of German en ergy, tenacity of purpose and thor oughness it is interesting to go hack to the humble origin of the mighty con cern. Starting in 1810 in the small cottage factory with six workmen, Frledrlch Krupp began operations with the dog ged purpose of achieving fame. Sac rificing both resources and health to the object in view, he bequeathed at his death in 1826 nothing but a small forge and his secret of making cruci ble steel to his son Alfred, then four teen years of age. How this lad, Im bued by a similar spirit, converted as If by magician's wand the little forge into the huge works of. the present day, works that have made his name renowned in . every quarter of the globe, is a matter of common knowl edge . Alfred Krupp died, and bis son, Frledrlch 'Alfred Krupp, the friend of the. kaiser, reigned In bis stead, con tinuing the same victorious -path until Nov. 22, 1902. when be followed his fathers. After his death the works passed into the hands of the eldest daughter, Frauleln Bertha Krupp, the richest woman In Europe, and were converted into a company with a cap ital of $46,000,000 on July 1. 1903. Works Contain Many Wonders. It is impossible for the onlntlated visitor to gather anything but a fleet tag Impression of the multifarious na ture of the work carried on in the vast establishment, and it would take weeks to vtorr the slxty-flve different depart ments that exist at Essen alone. The famous steam hammer Fritz, tbe giant of the, 100 steam hammers, Is still at work In tbe establishment. Fritz was constructed in 1860 by Al fred Krupp at a cost of $500,000. At that time Krupp's competitors regard ed bis intention to set up the giant hammer, which ' possesses a falling weight of fifty tons, as a sign of in cipient madness. Undeterred, Krupp continued, and today, after Frits has been at work for fifty years, he Is as useful as ever. In tbe armor plate department are seen huge hydraulic presses, of which there are no fewer than eighty-one In tbe works and under which steel blocks are pressed and squeezed until compelled to assume tbe desired shape, no matter bow large they may be. A huge crucible steel block weighing no less than eighty tons Is. placed un der a 5.000 ton hydraulic press. After being coaxed, handled and formed for half an hour it emerges la the shape of tbe gigantic shaft of an ocean steamship, 150 feet long. AN OPEN LETTER RU8K TO HOCKETT (Paid Advertising.)
