The Jndeicriderice Sand & Gravel company in (l corporation controlled by Salem and Independence capital.

The main office in located at ROttlH little diMtnnco fnim tVio rriiVier buildirjf, is well furnmh'I and it is here trmt the buxinenH affairs of the company are handled and all necess ary matters pertaining to the com pany transacted. The company employs nine men, be sides the office force, with an aKfrre gale payroll amounting to $1,250 monthly. This money is circulated locally and the company is classed as one of the city's most valued assets. The circulation of this money helps to keep other wheels or industry in motion and business institutions in active operation . Th company handles sand and gravel exclusively and has a capacity of 450 cubic yards of gravel per day and can run as men as 550 cubic yards. To the average person this may not appear as an extraordinary amount of gravel to handle, but when it is taken into consideration that the output of the local concern is the largest of any like industry in the iWlllamette valley, "it's a horse ol another color." To handle this amount requires from 12 to 15 cars per day. The products of the company are not disposed of to any one locality. Its field is the state of Oregon and it covers It right well. Most of the output Is sold to coun- iUa and municipalities, although lo cal trade is supplied whenever desired. At the present time, the entire output is bein used by the state nignway commission, deliveries being made at nIl.

The rock crutiher building operated by the company cannot be classed as a classic work of beauty or art. It was built for service not for xhow. Constructed some eight years ago it has withstood rongh unage, the rav ages of time and many hard knocks, but present indications point to its lasting at least eight years longer. The building is constructed mostly of heavy timbers. The many steel cables used in transporting the gravel are fastened to three poles, 86 feet in height, 20 inches in diameter at the base and 12 inches at the top. The building is noticeable from practi enllv everv oart of the city. It is unnecessary to advertise it it sneaks for itself. The sound it sends out is welcome to our residents. It tells the world that an industry is in active operation sustaining a pay roll that is one of the city's biggest assets in a business way. Contrary to the general opinion, the gravel is not scooped directly out of the river bed under the large cable stretched from shore to shore. Be fore beinir gathered up by the big bucket, it is dragged a distance of 1,300 feet, 80 or 40 feet dnder water by another bucket before it can be nroperly Scooped up. To pull the drac or bucket, down the river bot torn reauires a 100 h. p. motor. Each load of the drag brings in 3 cubic yards of gravel. The scooping bucket, carrying the gravel to the top of the building, holds 1 cubic yards and is operated by a 75 h. p. motor. The aggregate number of horse power of the motors used in the buildings eauals 335. On reachine the top of the building, 7S feet above river's level, the gravel is dumped into a large bin and then Hrmined thmusrh various sized screens each size dropping into bins for that purpose. While going through thra operation the sand is gradually washed out and settles into a separate hn The muddy water is returned hek to the river by means of sluices.
