HOW IT WAS BUILT
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN TELLS OF
THE NEW PAPER MILL. .
With Illustrations Eastern Publica
tion Gives Details of Ex
' pensive Construction.
In its issue of February 24th, the
Scientific American gave with illus
trations a detailed account of the
building of the new paper mill in'this
city for the Willamette Pulp & Paper
Company. The account follows :
i While reinforced concrete as a
structural material has attained wide
popularity in Europe and the east
ern part of the United States, its gen
eral use on the Pacific Coast may be
said to be almost in its infancy.
Round about Los Angeles it has en
tered into building operations to a con
siderable extent, but north of that
point, even to the British line, its use
has hitherto been very limited.
The steel and brick influences of
San Francisco have been sufficiently
powerful , to exclude it from that city
and neighborhood. In fact, San Fran
cisco has ah ordinance prohibiting its'
use within the corporate city limits.
But the ice seems about to be brok
en, and this will come about through
the influence of a single San Francis
co firm the Pacific Construction Com
pany. -'' '
Early in 1905 the Willamette Pulp
and Paper Company, of Oregon City,
Oregon, presented plans to the Pacific
Construction Companly for - a very
large paper mill building to be erect
ed ini the city named. - .
The plans called for a brick and
steel building, but by advice of F.
A. Koetitz, chief ' engineer and vice
president, and F. M. Butler, secretary
of the Pacific Construction Company,
the plans were changed so as to call
for reinforced concrete in place of
brick. .
The advice upon which this change
was based was given for several rea
sons, in the nrst place, the Willam
ette Pulp and Paper Company were
in haste to have their building built,
and it was shown that much time
could be saved by using reinforced
concrete in place of brick.
Another principal reason was the
conditions - that would naturally sur
round a building erected in this spec
ial location, and devoted to the special
purpose of pulp and paper' manufac
turing. The climate of Oregon City
Is a very rainy one, and the making of
pulp and paper at the same time neces
sitates - the use of a great deal of
water; consequently a building so lo
cated and so employed would be sub
jected to much moisture, " both from
without and within.
The paper mill ' building at Oregon
City has just been completed and is
one of the largest of the kind on the
Pacific slope. It is 339 feet long, 92
feet wide, and its walls are 56 feet
high. It has a basement and two
floors at the "beater" end and a base
ment and single floor in the machine
room end, with 20 feet between floors.
The foundation was laid upon a bed
of heavy bowlders from the-' river.
Trenches for the foundation walls
were dug in the bowlders and foot- j
ings nve ieet wiae put in.
On top of these walls, and reaching
up to the sills of the basement win
dows, the walls of the superstructure
were made 28 inches thick;- while the
main walls of the building were made
12 inches thick, buttressed by 3-foot
pilasters, 15, feet on centers, the pil
asters being 20 inches thick.- -These
pilasters are reinforced by corrugated
steel bars, six bars being imbedded in
each pilaster; and held in place by
bands of 5-16- round iron, one foot
apart. Through the main walls, both
above and beneath the window open
ings, and extending the entire length
of the walls, corrugated steel bars
were also used.
Supporting the floors are concrete-
columns 20x24 inches in size and 16
feet apart lengthwise of the building,
and at varying distances crosswise of
the building, the distances being regu
lated to accommodate the machinery,
and there being four lines of columns.
The main girders running length
wise of the building are 20x36 inches,
and the cross beams connecting there
to are 14x26 inches. The columns are
reinforced by corrugated steel bars,
four in each column, connected and
heldin place by 5-16 round iron. The
beams are reinforced by both Kahn
and corrugated bars. -The floors com
prise concrete slabs of an average
thickness of six inches, which are re

dinner gotten up by the sisters, the
discussion of Lincoln and -Washington
was taken up. Geo. Randall, can

Richard Scott, of Milwaukie. and
Grant Dimick of Oregon City, visiting

years, and reduce taxes, and if Scott
is elected he will have good roads all
over the county and paint the fences
white.
The lecture programme was very
good and much enjoyed by the people.
Mr. Dick, of Canby, was elected and
installed master of the Grange for the
ensuing term, in the place of Mrs.
Meindl, .who resigned. - Our state lec
turer of Mulino, Mrs. Howard was al

' MEMBER.
To One Who Smiled.
You gave me but a passing glance,
And, smiling, hurried on your way;
I pause to bless the happy chance
That made- me better all the day. -
Where others grimly hurried by,
You smiled as one whose heart was
' light,
And caused me to forget that I
Had room within my heart for spite.
I know not whither you may fare,
Nor what your dearest hope may be,
But may your path lead far from care
And to some glorious destiny.
For joy had set your eyes aglow ,
And were smiling when we met:
You made the morning bright, and so
Have left me deeply in your debt.
