While mill in Ihe east and in many part of the middle west are facing a shortage of pulp, particularly those plant engaged In manufacturing Ihe higher grades of paper, Oregon City mill are turning out paper at capacity, without the fear tbat the pulp famine will force them to curtail their pro duction. Stored on the bank of the Willa mette below the falls, like email moun tain, are 24.uvw ions of pulp. All the pulp mill In the nation working at capacity 24 hour. It I estimated, can produce. about Hi.ftoo ton of pulp. It would take all the mill In the country about 34 hour of ateady work to turn out a pile of pulp equal to the reaerve aupplie of the two local companies, the Crown Willamette Paper company and the Hawley Pulp aV Paper com pany.

The pulp mills are closing down this month on account of the usual lestx-ulng of power of this season, but the reserve supply will be enough to run the paper machine through the summer months.
