HAWLEY PAPER PLANT
MODERN IN EVERY WAY
New Concrete Building Completed
During Past Year Adds
to Equipment
One of the great industrial con
cerns that contributes largely to Ore
gon City's rank as the manufacturing
center of the Willamette Valley is the
Hawley Pulp & Paper Company,
which operates the four units of its
plant by power generated from the
falls of the Willamette and by giant
steam engines. Modern in every
way, the management of this concern
has during the past year completed
yet another building to add to its
local equipment.
This structure, of concrete and
steel, designed according to the best
practice of the present day, is 40 by
300 feet, and occupies the entire blok
on the river front between Third and
Fourth streets. It 'rises two stories
above the ground, and has well a
commodious basement, thus adding
36,000 feet of floor space to the plant.
It contains an additional paper mach
ine, and high-speed printing presses
for the manufacture of fruit-wraps,
bottle-wraps and other similar pro
ducts in which the Hawley company
has been specializing as a develop
manf r.f fVia rranara TYlQtlllfn pt.llTii nf
all grades of paper. The equipment
of the plant has also been increased
by the adiition of a new digester.
The Hawley plant manufactures
tons of wrapping paper each year,
the product of its mills being general
ly used throughout the Northwest
and along the entire Pacific Ceast, as
well as inland to the Rockies. The
mills also turn out thousands of rolls
of tissue paper, paper toweling, and
both colored and plain fruit and bottle
wrappers. Over 300 men are em
ployed in the various plants, and
throughout the greatest part of the
year the great machines hat perform
he magic of turning wood into paper
keep, running 24 hours a day.
Mill "A", which produces the pulp
the first step in the manufacture
of paper has a capacity of 36 tons
every 24 hours. . Mills "B" and "D",
which run out the finished paper, are
able to produce 65 tons in the course
of 24 hours; while the sulphite mill,
known as Mill "C", can turn out about
35 tons of its product each 24 hours.
In the keeping with the thoroughly
modern plan of operation that rules in
the Hawley plant, special care has
been taken to protect the lives of
those employed in the various mill
buildings. There is practically no un
guarded machinery, and a veritable
maze of electric lights makes the
great structures as brilliant at night
as in the daytime, so that employees
never have to crawl through danger
ous aisles between the whirring
care of the safety of the men, and
machinery in a semi-gloom. This
the general "Hawley spirit" that pre.
vails throughout the establishment,
is deeply appreciated by the emplay
bbh. and as a result everv man who
works for the Hawley company does
so with his whole heart ana mina;
and this is reflected in the general
excellence and standard grade of the
products turned out.

EAST CLACKAMAS FARMS
MARKED BY PROSPERITY
Residents of District Show Progress
in Many Lines of Development
and Find Prosperity
RociJnnta nf the lower Clackamas
Valley, and particularly those living'

cently been itaking new iltrides jrt
progressiveness,' and have built up a
farming community of a new and:
most successful nature. Within- the '
past year or so twenty new. homes,1
costing from ?800 to ?l,uu nave Deen
erected, ,a ne schoolhouse has been
built and opened, ; and numerous alr
terations and enlargements have been
made in barns, outhouses ana otner
auxiliary guildings of the ,farm.j
Woven wire fences and metallic pipe
posts set in concrete have replaced
to a large extent the former fences,
the gently sloping land has been tiled, 1
and the entire area has generally been '
nut. in the verv best of form.
Aside from this general line of
development and betterment -a num-.
ber of the ranchers have specialized
in new departures, and appear to have
fnnnd fresh roads to prosperity.
Among the more novel developments I
are the Blaine R. Smith pheasant
ranch, Haberlaugh's kraut" factory (
and the Oak Park poultry farm, the
latter having been developed by the
Rev. L. M. Haworth, a retired minis-'
ter. The rich and fertile soil of the
lower valley yields abundant fodder
and feed crops, and has played an im
portant factor in these newer enter
prises. The Smith pheasant farm is under
the ' personal -' direction' of Frank'
Moore, its superintendent," and con
tains this year about 1,000 pheasants
that have been raised frbm acclimated
birds, and which are to be sold to
this and other states for the stocking
of state and privote lands. Brilliant
plumed China pheasants, and the less
well known but beautiful Hungarian,
Bohemian and Japanese pheasants
form the main body of the stock;
though the ranch is also propigating
Chines teal and various lines of fan-,
cy bred poultry. '
Several acres of screened pens and
flying-cages have been erected, and
are so fitted up within as to perfect
ly simulate the native haunts of the
game birds, and miniature ponds and
brooks have been provided for the
aquatic fowls. In addition to the
space devoted to poultry raising there
are n nnmher of Dens of peacocks,
and a large and modern barn has been
provided for the care of the farm
live stock. 3
Chicken Raising1 Pays
: The Oak Park poultry farm is a
development of the Rev. L. M. Ha
worth's own farm, the second he has
had in-the Clackamas Valley since his
retirement from the active ministry.
Mr. Haworth took to chicken raising
at first merely to provide eggs for
his family use, and had such success
with his selection of fowls that he
determined to go into the poultry
business on a more extensive scale.
He now , has a number of chicken
houses, one of which 1s over 150 feet
long, and which forms the home of a
flock of some 150 rowi, irom wmcn
he has: a substantial profit.
' His record kept for one year with
rpfn r4 tn 'thi crouo of , chickens
that. has - obtained 1660
dozen and five eggs, from which he
has received a total gross income oi
nH J30 worth of fresh birds
to replace those that have been kil
led,. His feed and other expenses for
the care of the fowls amounted to
$167.93,. making his net profit on this
set of birds $317.19.
Mr. Haworth's records show that
another, peri of 29 Buff Orpingtons
yielded him 400 eggs in one month,
in Iff day of which the birds aver
aged .19 eggs daily. The large flock
of fowls made a record one 'month
of 204 dozen eggs, ' which yielded
him a net return of $39.77. At the
present prices , at which poultry is
quoted, Mr. Hawortn's prize pen oi
155 hens would average him a profit
of $49.40 a month. .

of the Moose had been arranged with
Christmas decorations, making it a
most inviting place for those who had
been extended an invitation to call
for the baskets. There were over 20
baskets sent out from this lodge room
containing candies, nuts and oranges,
for the children, and for the grown
ups some baskets contained dressed
chickens and others substantial eat
ables. Many poor families were re
ported to this order during the time
the members were activeley engaged
in making a Merry Christmas for the
needy. Several families were provided
with clothing and furniture and it
was one of the happiest Christmases
the little children had seen.
' The committee in charge of this
work from the Moose Lodge was com
posed of C. E. Noble, D. F. Skene,
George Young, Pat Finnucane, Chris
Weismandel, and it certainly kept
these men busy for a day purchasing,
receiving and preparing the donations
for the Christmas baskets.
The Brotherhood of St. Andrew as
sisted many little boys and girls as
well as the parents in celebrating this
Christmas Day. Toys, candies, nuts,
fruit and some of the necessaries of
life were provided to those deserving
the assistance.
The babies of the St. Agnes Home
at Parkplace were not forgotten, and
the good Sisters of that Institution,
with the assistance of friends of this
institution, made the children happy.
A beautifully decorated tree was ar
ranged in the childrens' new play
room, annd old Santa Claus was in
attendance to deliver the gifts, one
of the little boys at tha school being
Sana Claus, to the delight of the
youngsters. Toys of all descriptions
were donated to the children, and
there were certainly some happy chil
dren that laid their heads to rest that
night a he home.
A big diner was served to these
homeless children and all feasted to
their hearts' content There are babies
of all nationalities and ages at this
place and all are given the same con
sideration. Shoes, stockings and
clothing are needed at this institut
ion, and visitors are always given a
welcome, especially on Christmas
Day.
A splendid Christmas programme
was given at this institution on the
afternoon of Christmas, and the play
lette entitled "Searching for Santa
Claus," was given. The programme
was one of the best ever given at this
institution.
Thursday and Sunday afternoons
are the regular visiting days and the
inmates of this home are always glad
to welcome visitors. Why not stop in
some time and see what the institut
ion is doing for the children?
The people of Logan are replaster
ing the church and the work is being
done by the Kellogg Bros., of Ore
gon Cityj who are known to be reli
able workmen. This will leave the
house in fine condition.
Messrs. Johnson and Smith were
in town Tuesday after material to do
the plastering.
Rev. E. A. Smith will begin the
New Year with one of his long rides,
while not joy rides, they are rides of
pleasure. He will ride to Highland
where there will be a service Sunday '
