Tax to be Placed on Oregon
City Saloons If Ordinance
is Passed
THE SAL00NIST AGREE
That tho Increase Will be Equitable
and Do Not Contemplate Fighting
the New Ordinance.
Tho much dlseuMised ordinance pro
viding for an Increase In the tax on
saloons in Oregon City was up for
first reading at the special meeting of
council Saturday evening. Tho ordi
nance, as bad been published in tho
columns of tho Ktar, provided for an
Increase from $400 a year to $800.
There was considerable discussion i
as to the amount to which tho tax
should be Increased, but all seemed
to agree on the propriety of an in
ci ease. After due consideration an
! amendment was introduced and pass
ed naming as a maximum figure for
annual license tax $oo, The ordi
nance us thus amended to an annual
license tax of $000 was read and
ordered published
A correspondent writing from Ore
gon City says: Through the Interces
sion of Councilman Albert Knapp, the
proposal to double tho retail liquor
j licenses In this city was defeated at
'a apodal meeting of the council. Last
jwoek a majority of the councllrnen
'and Mayor Caufleld agreed to raiso
the saloon licenses from $100 to $800
per annum and a mighty howl of pro
test ensued, but the ordinance was
Introduced by Councilman William
'Andresen, chairman of tho finance
committee. Mr. Knapp mado an earn
est plea to the council, asking them
not to fix tho license at a figure where
1. would bo prohibitive, and saldthat
not a few of tho liquor dealers would
be driven out of business, and offered
an amendment to the ordinance, In
creasing tho llcenso $2W p,.r annum,
making tho amount $000 Instead of
$800. This was agreed to by a unan
imous vote. Tho price of wholesale
licenses for liquor dealers Is made
$200 per annum by tho new ordinance.

Willamette Pulp and Paper
Company's Mammoth Ad
dition Under Con
struction FILL 2 FREIGHT TRAINS
Mills Being Enlarged and Will Con
tinue Largest in West Lack
of Construction Help
Retards.
Extensive Improvements are under
way at the Willamette Pulp and Paper
company's works across the river at
this time. Among other things the
old sulphur mill Is being greatly en
larged, the building having been rais
ed nine feet and practically rebuilt.
j"Wben completed the building will be
used for a finishing mill, with a set of
rolls in the second story. This im
provement was made necessary to se
cure room in Mill D for a new set of
rolls to be Installed a little later. The
plans for the Improvement of the old
sulphur mill are quite elaborate and
will add materially, when completed,
to the capabilities of the plant as a
whole.
A new storeroom Is also under con
struction near the upper mill. Plans
were made for an extensive ware
house but the inability to obtain help
competent for construction work may
require alterations in these plans, in
which case It is likely that a portion
of the Improvement will be deferred
to a more opportune time.
A large stock of pulp Is being stored
In preparaUon for paper manufacture
during the summer months, when
there Is not sufficient water for pulp
making, and the company deems it
wise to increase materially their stor
age facilities. The completion of this
work may be deferred at this time for
lack of help, but it will go forward aa
originally planned later. Practically
nothing has been done on this work
the past week as the Willamette com
pany kindly loaned its men to the city
In the construction of the coffer dam
and flume leading to the woolen mills,
which was completed but yesterday.
The new paper machine for Mill D
Is now under course of construction at
Watertown, N. Y. It will be erected
In Mill D alongside the present large
paper making machinery now In oper
ation In that mill. This No. 4 machine
w as the largest single paper machine
in the world at the time the Willam
ette company erected it in its mill in
this city. The experiment of running
so wide a machine had never been
attempted at that time but now that
it has proven a success other mach
ines equally as large have been estab
lished at several points In the East
and North. But the Willamette com
pany's mill was the first and they
were pioneers in blazing out a course
for large paper machinery.
The new machine will not be ready
for delivery until the first of next
year. It is what is termed a No. 6
machine and will be considerably
larger than the present No. 4. It will
require 75. large railway cars to trans
port It across country to Oregon and
the two trains bringing It overland
will make a novel spectacle and In all
probability prove a big advertisement
for the Willamette mills. It will re
quire several months to erect and mit
I into operation, so that it Is likely to
jbe near to a year before the product
or me new mill can be put upon the
market.
With the Installation of the new
mill the Willamette company will con
tinue as the largest paper manufac
turers of the West, and will have In
operation the largest mill on the
coast. Few mills in the world will
then have a capacity equal to that of
our local mill.
