That the Hawley Pulp & Paper

Invested here will be forced to go out
of business if the proposed canal on
tho east aide at tho falls Is built, was
tho declaration made Friday after
noon by W. P. Hawley, present of tho
company. Mr. Hawley also aald that
It waa probable other manufacturing
plants here would bo forced to close
If the route that has been surveyed
Is approved.
"It am In favor of an open canal."
aid lAtr Hawley."bul I think it
should not be built in a place where
the business interests of the town
aro bound to bo seriously affected.
Tbe proposed route of the canal cuts
right through our main plant, and its
building would be our annihilation.
However, wo would be amply paid,
and consequently so far aa I am per
sonally concerned I am not alarmed.
But the closing of our plant and tbe
Crown plant would put more than
300 men out of work, and the closing
of others would cause the loss of em
ployment to many others. It is a mat
ter that should bo given careful con
sideration, and the manufacturing in
terests here are too large to be put
In. Jeopardy."
Mr. Hawley saldnnatThe lad Tioard
the Portland Railway, Light 4k Power
Company had offered tbe existing
canal and locks on tbe west side of
the river at a reasonable price, and
he favored the purchase and improve
ment of this property. The cost, he
said, would be much less than that
of building a new canal, and the old
canal would answer every purpose of
any that could be built.
A. R. Jacobs, president of the Ore
gon City Manufacturing .Company said
that he favored the bnlldlng-of tho
east side canal. He had not seen the
blueprint showing the route and did
not know what effect It would have
on the buildings of the company. The
proposed route, however, will make It
necessary to move several frame
buildings nearer the main plant, and
it (s understood the work will not put
the company to a great Inconvenience.
Tho east side pulp plant of tho
Crown Columbia Pulp & Paper Com
pany, It Is said, will have to be razed
in order to build the canal. Announce
ment was made several days ago that
the company had decided to abandon
this plant and build another at Camas,
Wash., where It has a patter manu
facturing plant. This, however, has
been denied. The company is said
to have leased the property for $36,
000 a year for forty-five years from
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company.

8. O. rillman, of this city, declared
Friday that the Central Point Road
was the most feasible route from Ore
gon City to New Era for the Capital
Highway. A committee appointed by
tbe East Side Capjtal Highway Asso
ciation recommended the River Road
as tbe permanent route and the South
End Road for use temporarily. Mr.
Dillman aaid:
"While the engineers, who were ap
pointed to investigate tho roads lead
ing from Oregon City to New Era.
have decided upon the South" End
Road temporarily, and tho Riyer Road
aa a permanent route, a great many
have looked over the Central Point
Road ard decided it was tho easiest
grade and by far a cheaper road to
build. Tbe residents along the road
have subscribed between $2,000 and
$2,500 to build the road. As far as
the scenic beauty and the farming
country is concerned tho other roads
aro not in a clasa with tbe Central
Poln,t thoroughfare. Thla road will
accommodate many more people in
the southern part of the county than
either Um- South-End.. Road or the
River Road.
"There are many persons who con
demn the South End Road on account
of Its passing under the culvert of the
Southern Pacific railroad on Fourth
street. There was a serious automo
bile accident at that place last year,
when two machines going in opposite
direction collided. Both automobllea
were badly damaged, and had it not
been for the occupants Jumping from
one, they would, no doubt, have been
killed."" ' .
