"Bandon, Coos County, is to have a new woolen mill and a broom-handle and match factory,” said William Sanderson, a merchant of that place, who is in Portland for a few days. "The large woolen mill at Bandon, operated under the management of T. W. Clark of Oregon City was removed to North Bend during the past year. In it the citizens of Bandon had a practical demonstration of the benefit of manufacturing enterprises to a town, and they have formed a local corporation to build a woolen mill. "The new mill will give employment to from 75 to 100 hands, and it will be in charge of capable managers. 'The Metropolitan match Company of San Francisco is building and equipping a factory for the manufacture of matches and broom—handles. "The timber growth in close connection with San Francisco by schooners gives the Coos bay country a decided advantage as a manufacturing center. There are thousands of acres of the famous Port Orford or white cedar in the Coos Bay country, and it is proving the most valuable export from that section. The white cedar, when manufactured into lumber, brings a good price, selling in the rough to local consumers at the rate of $35 and $10 per thousand feet. The planed product brings $75 per thousand in San Francisco, where it is used as a finished lumber in the finest dwellings and other buildings. The wood is varnished and used in its natural color.” —— Oregon Daily Journal.
