It is one of the oldest indus tries in the world, older than history itself. Although the word paper is derived from "papyrus." the beginning of the paper industry can be traced back to ancient Chinese history thousands of years ago. Even the half-civilized Central American Indians, the Aztecs and Incas. knew the art of making paper. William Rittenhouse built the first paper mill in America near Philadelphia in 1690.

An examination of the trail in the morning showed that the attacking party numbered about twenty, and Lieutenant Gillespie recognized the dead chief as an Indian who had on the preceding morning given him a fine fish, the first food he has tasted for forty hours. On the eleventh of May Fremont left his main camp and started for California, to begin the war of independence which re sulted in its conquest by tho United States. A detachment of about fif teen men was left at the scene oft the midnight attack to punish the per petrators should they return to it. Two Modocs were killed and scalped there, and the men rejoined tho mniu through tins region was usually at tended with fighting and many times with loss of life.

The process of making it is simply collecting the raw material, cleaning it, grinding it into pulp, diluting it with water, forming a sheet and allowing it to dry. The chemists tell you that anj- plant can be used for the XITZ'" material of paper as cellulose is the structural basis of there were few people settled south all plants. Wood is cheapest so it is generally used in of the Willamette valley, whence came x . 1 I the greater number ot travelers and paper making today. t tho route was a very dnugerouss and There are mauv different kinds of paper such as wall difficult one.

In a general wav it mav be said that the manufacture of paper from wood pulp involves about twenty-eight sep arate operations from the harvesting of the spruce sticks to the marketing of the finished product, including the! process of cleaning, barking, chipping, grinding, screen ing, digesting, cooking, washing, pressing, beating, drying, calendering, etc. j Pulp logs of spruce, hemlock, beech, cottonwood, etc., are cut during the entire year. The logs are conveyed j from the river or cars to the mill where they are cut in ! sticks two feet long and dropped into a vat of water toj remove the dirt. From this vat the stocks are conveyed j to the barkers where revolving knives strip the bark from i each stick. The wood is reduced to a pulp in the grinders j where each stick is forced against a large grindstone which revolves at a speed of 200 revolutions a minute, rap idly reducing the food fibre to a pulpy mass. Water is freely used in this process to soften the wood, to wash the pulp from the stone and keep the wood from burning. This pulp is screened to remove splinters, bark and dirt and then racked off on wet machines in laps or large matted sheets one-quarter inch thick. This is the usual method for storage or shipment, as from these thick sheets the finished product is rolled and finished. In the sulphite process the wood is first chipped, then crushed to break up all the knots and splinters. These chips are then placed in a large vat and covered with an acid solution which eats away everything but the cellulose, and it is then heated to a high temperature by steam. After this process the stock is screened and washed and finally run over the wet machines which consist of cylin der molds covered with wire doth placed in vats. The water is withdrawn from the inside of the revolving cylin ders, leaving the fibre in a thick, soft mass on the outer surface of the screen, from which it is removed by a "doctor" and run into storage tanks ready for use in a paper mill. It is in the beater room that the finished pulp is pre pared for making the numerous qualities and colore of paper. During the processes of beating and mixing the color is added to produce the shade desired. Then the rosin size is added to give the necessary non-absorbing qualities and sufficient alum is put in to set the colors. After leaving this room the stock is called "stuff" and is run into stuff chests. From tho stuff box the pulp is j put through the Jordon engine which mixes it thoroughly.! and it is ready to be made into the finished product. The I paper stuff after being screened again is run through thet Fourdrinier paper machine which consists of the follow- j hut nnvfs! 1. screen: 2. the wire, with a dandy roll. - i'-- - j i deckle 5, second endei two points that we did not e.eliauge -hot- with them, though wo had no engagements with them that could be .'called a battle." In August, JLS50, two packers, Cashing and Frink, were killed on tho banks of tho Klamath liver near where the ferry was afterwards es tablished. Their grain was taken and their cargo destroyed by Shasta In dians. ' In January, 1851, a conflict occurr ed at Hlackburn'tt ferry on the Klam ath, in which James Sloan, Jeualshau and Hender were killed by savages, presumubly Klamaths. Hlackburu and his wife defended their house until help arrived and the Indians fled. On c.nminiug tho neighborhood of me terry, the body of Ulcckburns father was moot unexpectedly lound, he having come in the evening to visit bis sou, whom he had not seen for years, and met his death almost at the threshold, at the hands of the be siegers. Some two weeks later a party of white men from tho ferry went in pursuit of the hostiles ami shot two Indians, one, n s(pmw, being killed by mistake while in a canoe. Tho snmo party, boing in the vicinity of Happy Camp, attacked a raucheria of Faroes (down-river Klamaths) and killed every male inhabitant and two females. One of the attacking party was killed.

Within the past two years almost a hundred Chicago and Evanston, Illinois, people have purchased homes near Medofrd, and nearly every one of them has a friend or two whom they hope to induce to come and locate in the valley. New York, Philadelphia, Boston and many other eastern cities arc almost if not quite as well represented, while St. Paul and Minneapolis have more representatives here than any other several cities combined. Think these statements over and get your thinker going. Write to the undersigned or the Medford Commercial Club for detailed informtaion about the country, and you will never have cause to regret it.
