PARIS, April 11. (Special Cable.)
It was without any outward sign of
emotion that the French people to
day received the news of a further
advance of troops into Germany. Such
a step has long been foreseen, and I
the people here are heart and soul
with the authorities in calling Ger
many to book. There is practically
no, fear of trouble with German
troops, and first ..advices from th
Rhincland bore out such impression.
In taking over the cities the sol
diers received neither a hostile nor
friendly welcome. The German peo
ple lined the roads and watched the
advance. It is said some -30.000 men
advanced from various French bases.
No information whatsoever has
been received so far concerning other
occupied tones. Competent circles
believe Belgium will be the first to
assist France' and possibly make a
larger advance, either on the border
or occupy Essen.
Significant unofficial news reach
ing Paris is to the effect that Ger
man authorities now consider it will
take eight days instead of three
weeks to restore peace in the Ruhr
valley.
Marshal Foch remains in Paris, but
is ready at a moment's notice to go
to the Rhine. It is said it was at his
instigation that the advance was or
dered and that further steps will be
taken if necessary to enforce the
treaty.

Grunau warned the men to avoid

Paper
Manufacturing
A basic industry in Oregon, and one destined
to grow in importance with the years, is
thatof paper making. Starting with the
pioneer mill at Oregon City, there are now
three mills in the state, with a fourth at
Salem which will shortly begin the manu
facture of a high-grade sulphite paper.
Each year thousands of tons of paper of all sorts, from
newsprint to the paper toweling that office workers dry
their hands on, are sent all over the country. Almost
every boat leaving for the Orient , and South Pacific
points carries huge rolls of paper for use in newspaper
offices or even in building light bamboo bouses.
Orejron possesses such a magnificent stand of timber,
and of a fort so well adapted to paper making, that this
indirstrv will flourish for years to come in this district.
The refuse from sawmills is also beinpr considered by
paper manufacturers as a possible source of supply,
which would pive Oregron, where lumber is cut so ex
tensively, a double share of the paper industry.
The Ladd & Tilton Bank Is stronsly in favor of develop
ing all basic industries that mean permanent assots to
Oregon, and will lend its assistance in legitimate ways.
