placed last week by the Crown-Co-lumblt
Paper Company, of Portland,

Wash,
This simple statement of fact marks
the final step in the evolution of the
paper-making industry on the pacific
Coast from a modest mill on the bunks
of the Clackamas River, producing; 900
pounds per week in 1869 to a icreat
chain of plant and properties estend
lns from Southern California to North
ern Washington with a total capacity
of 230 tons a day.
Inability of The Oreironlan to obtain
from the Kaatern paper mills paper in
sufficient quantity and with dependable
certainty to suit its demands caused
H. L- Pittock. Its publisher, to estab
lish a small paper mill at Park Place,
on the Clackamas Kiver. two miles
r.orth of Oregon City, about 43 years
ajro.
Beirut inexperienced in the business
of DaDer-maklna- Mr. Pittock sent to
California for William Lewthwalte.
father of A. J. Iwthwalte. present
manager of the Crown-Columbia Pa
per Company, to take charge of the in
dustry.
The Oresealaa First Pal rata.
At first The Oregronlan was the only
patron of the plant. The standing or
der for The Oregonlan then was about
pounds of print" paper a week.
The Weekly Oregonlan demanded about
I'.O pounds a week. The business rap
idly grew, however, with the develop
ment of the Northwest, and the pat
ronage of other newspapers in this ter
ritory. Soon after the mill was estab
llshed its capacity was three tons per
iiuy.
Transportation facilities were a han
dicap on a greater production. A team
cf mules and a wugon served to haul
the paper products from the mill to
Oregon City, and then ship to Port
Isnd. This outfit made about two
trips a day. On the return trip it
generally carried a supply cf old. rags,
as rates were used extensively in mak
ing pulp for the manufacture of pa
per in those days.
But as the business grew and the
production necessarily Increased, the
continued use of rags was considered
p-jor economy. The idea of using cot
tunwood aa a substitute for rags was
suggested. It was laughed at at first,
but. Mr. Pittock decided to try it. He
did not have sufficient faith In the
plan to procure a machine designed es
pecially for this purpose, so pressed

this the Cottonwood logs, which
had been cut into small blocks, were
tcround into a coarse pulp. The at
tempt to convert this product into pa
per was watched with interest border
ing on anxiety.
The experiment proved successful and
this, success paved the way for a great
advancement In the paper manufactur
ing Industry In the Northwest. It
marked a new epoch In the business. So
far as is known, this was the first
time thst wood ever had been used as
m Use fur pulp.
On-account of the almost unlimited
supply of wood and the necessarily
limited amount of rags or other fabric
that could be used in paper making It
was readily seen that th cost of pro
duction would be vastly decreased. Air.
lMttock was one of the first to realise
this. t Together with a number of his
friends and business associates he or

Ilecause the Columbia Kiver near Port
lund offered a superior field for pro
curing the necessary Cottonwood logs

to send the raw wood either by road
or by the river with ease. The islands
vf fhe Columbia were thickly (studded
with- choice cotton woods ami these
were made the ready prey of the
woodsmen's ax In the exact quantities
thst the output of the mill demanded.
This mill at Camas was probably as
modern. Judrred by the standard of Its
equipment, as the present Camas mill
will be after the new machinery Just
ordered Is installed. It contained the
first 'wood pulp grinder ever put Into
use on the Pacific Coast, and also the
first' machine .for making a newspaper
roll inches wkle. This machine was
one vf the largest in use at that time.
It was about tills same time that The
Oregonlan started to use the huge roils
of paper, essential now in every mod-
em newspaper plant.
simultaneous with the beginning of
operations on the Camas mill in 1S5
The Oregonlan discontinued the use of
f !at or sheet paper and Installed a press
calling for the use of iS-lnch rolls.
Plant Destroyed by Fire.
Two years after the jCamas industry
was under way the plant was almost
completely destroyed by fire. It was
rebuilt, though, a year later and re
sumed operations. It continued with
v.iri. J decrees of success until 193,

management of tile property. He ex

of the Northwestern Electric Company,
now seeking a franchise from the
1'ortlund City Council, organized the
Crown I'aper Company, which built a
n i ; 1 on the west side of the Willamette
l:iver at Oregon City. It bad a suc
cessful career in competition with the
growing Institution on the banks of
the Columbia at Camas.
A combination of Interests was ef
fected by those controlling the two
companies and In 10 the Crown-Columbia
Pulp Paper Company was or
ganised. The Crown at that time
had a capacity of about I tons a day
and the Columbia Kiver of SO tons

news and wrapping paper. Soon after
this consolidation the Columbia Iliver
plant added a 154-Inch news machine,
giving it a rapacity or 0 tons a day.
and giving the frown-Columbia mi'ls
a rombhied capacity of 5 tn.. ! M.i'.iy
The rapid development of the Norti- I around
la Hi, last seven yeaxa baa lfll-
fleeted itself in the proportionate pros
perity of the company .controlling
these properties. The plant at Camas,
as well aa that at Oregon City, has
been enlarged. Improvement has been
the order of the day at either place.
Every modern facility haa been In
stalled. The constantly increasing
demands of the growing communities
served by these mills has been met
with adequate, capacity to supply these
wants.
Karly in the present year the com
pany acquired the plant of the Florls

fected and the name of the concern
was changed to the Crown-Columbia
Paper Company, eliminating the words
"pulp and." Mr. Leadbetter and the
Plelsh hackers are among the heaviest
stockholders in the new company. With
the Installation of the new machine at
Camas, the combined capacity of the
three mills will ne 230 tons a day of

HUMAN SCRUBS TO
BE THING OF PAST
Eugenics Apostle Would Weed
Them Out by Allowing Only
Perfect Marriages.
FAMILIES NOW TOO LARGE
1j Heine Helen Baker Declares Wo
' "ecd Fewer Children but Better
.' Children Belief Expressed
Immorality Will Cease.
BT U A. FERNS WORTH.
A mighty curious and Interesting wo
man Is La Heine Helen Baker. Mrs
Baker is an apostle of eugenics. Now
In the face of it. eugenics seems to
be a dry subject but Mrs.' Baker ha
already been referred to as an in
teresting woman, and so In her hands
eugenics becomes an intensely in
teresting subject.
In fact, so Interesting does Mrs.
Baker make herself In expounding ber
chosen doctrine that ever since a
thorough study of it made her a con
vert four years ago, she has been writ
ing signed articles on the subject for
a multitude of metropolitan papers
scattered through the country, every
Sunday, and the papers have been
eagerly publishing- It In feature posi
tions, and calling for more.
Now nothing that is not interesting
could command Much treatment by the
Sunday newspapers for so long a period,
however meritorious it might be in
other respects. And this is how Mrs.
Baker has come to be known as the
leading champion of the eugenic creed
in America, although she Is only a com
mon member of the Eugenic Society
of the United States.
Perfect Marriage Desired.
Mrs. Baker was in Portland the week
just past, staying at the Multnomah
Hotel. And one afternoon during ber
stay here I interviewed her. Soon I
discovered that her advocacy of
eugenics made her also an advocate of
a considerable range of other important
doctrines. Ultimately she believes, by
virtue of eugenics In the practice, im
morality will be banished from the
world.
This Is bow she figures It out:
Eugenics is the science of improving
stock, whether that stock be human
or animal. But we're confining our
selves to the human stock now. Very
well.
- To begin with we'll have to Improve
the marriage bond. Here's a start.
"Now." says Mrs. Baker, "marriages.
first of all. must -be perfect. Mar
riage consists of the union of two
persons of the opposite sexes. But
every person consists of body, mind and
spirit. Ergo, In the couple, must be
married mentally, spiritually and phys
ically. That is, there must be a
harmonious union of all of these three
constituent parts of their Individual
makeups." 1
To Mach Scrubby Stock. -
That, briefly, is the theory of eu
genics, as advanced by Mrs. Bake?. But
In developing that theory some start
ling things are brought to light.
For Instance, she explains the pres
ence of so much scrubby stock In the
human race ("put It down Just that
ay," she says, "for It's the truth, and
it'll come out In my book anyhow")
by saying that nine-tenths of the peo
ple are Just physically married. Their
spirituality and their mentality are
not In harmony.
Then, she says, we must prevent cer
tain kinds of marriages first of all, and
after that we can devote our attention
to Improving the other kinds of mar
riages. "Prevent the marriage of Inbeclles;
prevent the marriage of insane per
sons; prevent the marriage of the
naturally deformed; prevent the mar
riage of club-footed persons; prevent
the marriage of persons infected with
certain systematic diseases; prevent
the marriage of criminals." she says.
"By the marriage of such persons
we only get more such; our public In
stitutions for the care of them must
gradually become larger and larger,
and our taxes will Increase In propor
tion. And so we And It expedient from
two Independent standpoints. Predomi
nating Is the humanitarian standpoint.
By the Increase of that kind of people
the entire standard of a people Is
lowered. And then there is the
economic standpoint- As people in
crease in numbers the economio con
sideration will gradually force them
to this course anyhow.
Sterilisation Favored, Too.
"As another preventive measure, let
us sterilize certain types of criminals
and Insane. And then let there be a
medical examination ' of all applicants
for marriage. These thlnas : may
sound somewhat radical, but when we
come to analyze them, after all, are
they anything more than common
sense?
In doing these, things we are doing
nothing more than Luther Burbank and
other naturalists have ' done with
plants, and 'what is constantly being
done with animal stock. The theory
In already coming to be recognixed.
Several states In this country, and a
number of governments abroad, have
adopted these measures In a modified
form, and Ohio last year promulgated
laws- adopting them almost in their
entirety." '
Now let us see how we are to im
prove the marriages that are nut ta
boo. Fairy Tales to Be Eliminated.
Primarily, there is to be absolute
freedom of -association and of speech
among the persons of both sexes.
There la to be no segregation of the,
youth In their training and educatfon,
ergo: co-education; men and women i
are to be placed on the same level,
with the same rights and the same
laws, ergo: equal suffrages children
are to be told the truth about them
selves frankly and plainly, without
fairy tale embellishment, ergo: sex hy
giene as a common subject of stud)'.
And the ergo of It all is the perfect
union of the body, tho mind and the
special txemm

ii-
spirit in the bond of marriage, better
children will be born, and eugenics
will be a reality.
"The segregation of young people
while they are being educated and
trained has proven a detriment," said
Mrs. Baker. "Boys and girls don't
know each other. When they meet
and form acquaintances the novelty of
it, principally, attracts them; they
think they are in love, a marriage fol
lows, and . the result is a physician
marriage. x
Uae of Beer la Germany.
"By way of illustrating my point, let
me cite you the Germans. There is no
people on earth that drinks more beer.
It is on the table and in the cupboard,
and there is no restriction in Its use.
Yet in all of the time I have spent in
Germony I have never seen . cne
drunken person.
"This observation, I found, has been
& common one with all travelers. The
moral is plain.- The Germans have
their beer when they want It. and there
Is no inordinate desire for it. They
take it as a matter of course.
"There should be. in fact, the same
freedom of Intercourse among all men
and women. ' They should be menta
friends. The time will come when men
and women, young and old, married
and single, can mingle together with
absolute freedom and when line-draw-in
cr conventionalities will be ellrrrint
nated. - , ,
"When that time comes people will
be absolutely guileless and innocent in
their thoughts. There will be no more
breaking up of homes, and immorality
will be banished. There will be no
immorality because the incentive for
Immorality will be gone. That which
creates an inordinate desire, restric
tion and prohibition, will no longer
exist. This freedom of intercourse and
association naturally prescribes that
men and women should be on an equal
basis. This proposition admitted,
therefore, would naturally include
equal suffrage."
"When a child is old enough to ask
a question. It Is old enough to receive
a truthful answer," believes Mrs. Ba
ker. By removing all elements of mys
tery there is no room left for acquir
ing truths in a vulgar way.
"mailer Families Advised.
There Is only one more thing left
to Mrs. Baker's theory of eugenics for
the human race, viz., that there should
be less children. A. race sulcidlst. if
you will, that she Is. "Less children,
and better children." she says. "Plan
your children like you would build a
house. The character of children Is
largely determined by pre-natal influ
ence. Live rightly, don't be cross or
angry,1 be cheerful, optimistic, and
avoid petty vices, and you will have
perfect children.
And so. you see, while she seems to
shock the-- ascetic sensibilities, her
theory resolves Itself down to quite a
moral'bne after all, if her reasoning is
correct.
Mrs. Baker has Just returned from a
two-year tour of Europe, in which she
has made a systematic study of living
conditions among the masses, and her
findings have made her a firm believer
of the principles she enunciates.
Sfufferlns; Among Children Cited.
Children starving in Russia; thou
sands and thousands in imbecile asy
lums; rhildren living in squalor In
Spain; children with scarcely any cloth
ing on their bucks begging along the
highways of Italy, and thousands and
thousands of children without homes
or parents, dodging about on the
streets of London, and Bleeping in door
ways and. dry goods boxes, has con
vinced her that quantity of low stand
ard must give way to an improved
quality.
"Now, sonny, I hope you won't say
anything bad about me," was Mrs.
Bakers parting admonition. "You
know people are so apt to misunder
stand, and it's so much easier to ridi
cule than to think."
FLAX ACREAGE INCREASES
Farmers Throughout Northwest to
'. Plant 5000 Acres Tills Season,.
A. P. Allensworth, representative for
the American Linseed Company, who
returned last week from a tour of the
Northwest, made in a.n effort ' to in
terest farmers In the culture of flax,
announced that arrangements have
been completed that will mean the sow
ing of 6000 acres in the Northwest to
flax.
Near Chehalls 1000 acres will be
planted In fiber flax. The country
about Baker and La Grande will sow
an aggregate of 2000, Lewiston, Idaho.
1500. and various smaller sowings in
the Willamette Valley will amount to
about 600 acres. Of this acreage, about
1000 will be sown for fiber and 4000
acres for seed flax. The crop rajsed
near Chehalls will be handled in the
fiber mill in Chehalls, which has been
taken over by the company which Mr.
EIGHT ARE DYING
A Fierce Battle Is Now Raging
(By A. G. Thompson.)
One of the Irercest battles ever
fought on the banks of the Willam
ette Is now raging. Before many
days thousands of men will meet face
to face. It may be said that elgnt
leaders are now dead or dying.
At any rate, where do' the leaders
of the opposing forces stand? Wil
son. Fisher. and McKernan can make
little Impression on the solid front
presented by the Immoral, graft and
bad government forces. Those who
are now following these transpiring
leaders can do nothing better than
take up arms in . behalf of N. H. Bird,
who Is now the leading candidate for
Sheriff. McAllister, Fltzperald, Hol
llngsworth and Cox who are they and
why should they be asking for your
support? Fitzgerald, no doubt. Is a
machine man and Is working machlno
politics under a flag on. which is
falsely written -wormngmen s uanai
date." This cannot be true as ma-
chine politics haa never helped the
worklngman and such politics has be
come obnoxious In this state. - -N. tL.
Bird Is the worklngman's candidate.
He is with you, Mr. Worklngman,
now and forever. He will make an up
right and Impartial Sheriff who will
deal out Justice to all classes and
impartially In force the law against
the capitalist, the worklngman, the
liquor element and the churchman, and
all will receive fair treatment and
prompt attention so long as they obey
tho law. He is everybody's candidate.
How about H. C. McAllister? He
has promised an economic administra
tion. He is now drawing $300 per
month of the people's money while
putting in most -of his time for him
self in this campaign. Apparently he
Is going to take all be can get and
economics will be 'scattered to the
four winds after election. And furth
ermore, is he not the H. C. McAllister
who, two years ago, endeavored to
foist on us an Infamous law in favor
of the undesirable portion of the liquor
element which would have practically
annulled the State Local Option Law
and give the Indecent element a
chance to control all Incorporated
towns? If a man will try to do this In
private life, what will he do if given
the great power for good or evil that
goes with the Sheriffs office? He
would then become dangerous. Com-

Allensworth represents, and the great
er portion of the seed will be con
sumed In the Unseed factory in Port
land. Mr. Allensworth will go from
Portland back to Baker, where he will
spend about two weeks, after which
he will return to the East for a short
business trip. - . .
"The operations In the Northwest
this year are only the beginning of
what is bound to become an enormous
industry," said Mr. Allensworth. "We
are guaranteeing the growers 11.30 a
bushel for their flax seed, and we thus
insure them against any unexpected
fall in the market. We will, however,
pay the full market price when they
are ready to dispose of their crops and
this Is very likely to be much higher
than $1.30. . Flax seed is today worth
$1.86. Farmers of the Northwest do
not realize what profits can be made
by flax raising."
Social Event Announced.
The ladles' auxiliary of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians announces a Joint
party to be given Tuesday evening,
April 16, at Chrlstensen's Hall. Elev
enth and Yamhill streets. The pat-
pare such a man with N. H. Bird, to
ward whom no man can point a finger
of scorn; a man who Is always on the
side of right and who is honest, able
and courageous. He knows the Sheriff's
office from A to Z and can fill that
office with credit to himself and the '
citizens of Multnomah County.
And there is W. B. Hollingsworth,
who states In his paid ad. that the
candidate who poses for the flat sal
ary proposition is a trickster, as the
Sheriff's office has been controlled by
a flat salary for 14 years. Is 1L try
ing to make the people believe that
the fiat salary is all the Sheriff makes
out of the office so that he can pocket
the surplus? Who is the trickster?
The man who endeavors to make the '
voter believe something which Is not j
true or the candidate who states that
if elected he will work for the flat
salary provided by law and feed the
county- -prisoners at actual cost? The
Sheriff makes several thousand dollars
a year as profits on feeding the county
prisoners alone. This is above, and
in-addition, to the flat salary and is
tax money which should be used for
other purposes. You will find in look
ing through Mr. H.'s literature and
promises that he in no place promises
to save to the voters this profit. The
same can be said of Mr. North and
Mr. Wilson, N. H. Bird now stands,
and during this campaign has always
stood, on the flat salary proposition.
If elected tf the office of Sheriff he
will work for the flat salary pro
vided by law and will feed the county
prisoners at actual cost, thereby sav
ing to the county more than his Hat
salary. He will also make public the
entire expene snd cost of running
the office. Mr. Hollinifsworth is now
working- most of the time for himself
campaigning, and while so doing is
drawing his salary from the county.
Does It appear irom mis mat ne win
give us an honest, economic admin
istration? Mr. Bird, during his long career in
Portlund, has met every financial and
moral obligation contracted by him,
and has kept every promise he has
made. He is the proper man to lead the
forces to victory and give us, as
Sheriff, a fair, impartial, law-cnforclns

How little does the average homebuilder realize
the importance of environment in the location of
a home designed to be a sanctuary for years
to come.
A HOME ON THE HEIGHTS, with the back
ground of the eternal hills, facing the rising sun,
with Portland and its matchless scenic surround
ings outspread at one's feet, is a true home in
every respect.
"TO THE HILLS" has ever been the cry of the
homebuilder who builds for permanence. Here
the onward march of commerce is stayed ; business
manufacturing, apartments, railroads, slums, etc.,
avoid the hills. ,
Here on ARLINGTON AND KINGS HEIGHTS,
at the head of Washington street, the City Park
as your front door-yard, with every conceivable
environment and convenience,
HEBE BUILD YOUR. HOME, and in years to
come you and yours will reap the recompense of a
selection well made, and a choice ' well chosen.

investigation," said Dr. White, "I learn

Commission. One thing the Sex Hygiene
Society and its lecturers have always
taken special pains to make clear, is
that it did not advocate the Introduc
tion of a course in sex hygiene into
the public schools. Its aim has been
to instruct parents and those havinjr
the care of children, that they may
Impart the knowledge to the children,
or Instruct those beyond parental su
pervision." '
