chinery and equipment capable of pro
ducing 100 tons of. paper daily.
Second Unit to Rise.
In the immediate future a second
and larger unit Is to be erected direct
ly across Link River from the new
buildings. The second unit, which is
to be about 10 per cent larger than the
first, will have a capacity of approxi
mately 125 tons of paper a day, giving
the complete plant a capacity of 225
tons daily, or 67,500 tons for the 300
working days of the calendar year.
When completed the British Colum
bia mill will not only be larger than
any of the other plants of the Crown
Willamette Paper Company at Oregon

and Floriston, Cal., but will be - one
of the largest paper mills in the world.
It is estimated that between 600 and
700 men will be employed in the two
units at Ocean Falls.
Most of the paper made at the Ocean

Ocean Falls is located about 380
miles north of Vancouver, B. C, and
about 30 miles inland at the head of
Cousins Inlet, an arm of the Pacific
Ocean. The channel is already 30
feet and will be even deeper and wider
as soon as dredging operations are
completed. Three or four lines of
steamers serve the port, water being

EWING L. FORRESTER DIES
Ex-Patrolman of Police Bureau Sno
cumbs to Tuberculosis.
Ewlng Jj. Forrester, formerly a pa
trolman of the Portland police bureau,
died at the home of his mother.
Cabool, Mo., January 21, according to a
letter received yesterday by Patrolman
H. A. Lewis. For two years Mr. For
rester had been an invalid, suffering
from tuberculosis.
On February 5, 1912," Mr. Forrester
was appointed to the Portland polic
force, serving as a patrolman until Feb
ruary 12, 1915, when failing health
forced him to resign. He was a popular
officer. He was unmarried and was
32 years old.
John Sontag he boarded the train near
Goshen, Tulare County, Cal. After trav
eling , a short distance they put on
masks, climbed over the tender, or
dered the engineer to stop, proceeded
to the express car and without diffi
culty obtained about $600 and then
escaped. They had tied a couple of
horses in the neighborhood which they
rode back to Evans' ranch near Visalia,
Cal.
Numerous other successful train hold
ups were also carried out by the two
men, who were later joined in their
operations by John Sontag's brother,
George. On one occasion Evans and
John Sontag obtained $5000 as the re
sult of the robbery of a train near
Plxley, Cal., and George and John Son
tag got $9800 when they 'held up a
train at Western Union Junction near
Chicago. These were the largest sin
gle hauls made by the men during the
course of. their operations.
Evaoi on Jury Amused.
Evans, whose long, flowing beard
gave him the appearance of a typical
farmer, was considered a hard-working
and honest man and his family highly
respected. For that reason it was a
long time before the authorities began
to connect his name with the train
robberies.
It is related that on one occasion,
when George Sontag went to Visalia
to join Chris Evans, he found the lat
ter sitting as one of "12 good men
and true" in judgment in the case of
some petty offender. Knowing Evans
as he did, George Sontag Is said to
have had difficulty In keeping a
straight face at the sight.
It was after being found guilty of
murder on December 14, 1893, and whil-1
waiting sentence in the Fresno jail
that Evans succeeded in making his
escape In a spectacular manner.
Walter Smuggled Revolver.
The waiter who brought in his meals
smuggled a revolver to him, and when
the waiter started to leave and the
door of the jail corridor was opened
the man held up the jailer and walked
out. He was again arrested, however.
on February-19 of the following year
by a posse of 50 men.
On February 20, 1894, Evans was
sentenced to serve the remainder of
his life in the California State Prison,
later being pardoned.
After he had been sentenced, his wife
and his daughter, Eva, appeared
throughout the state of California in
a melodrama called "Sontag and
Evans." This depicted the bandits as
persecuted heroes.

ICR MILK IS USED
United Staes Consumes Ten
Billion Gallons Yearly.
AS FOOD IT IS PERFECT
Dr. W. II. Norton Tells Employes of
Oregon-Washington Railway &
Navigation Company Value
of Milk to Humanity.
Ten billion gallons of milk are con
sumed annually in the United States,
Dr. W. II. Norton, of the medical staff
of the O.-W. R. & N. Company, told
employes of the company in an address
last week on "Use of Milk as a Food."
Dr. Norton paid tribute to the per
fect food value of milk, telling of its
adaptation to the wants of all, from
the new-born babe to the person of
mature years. While testifying to ex
cellence of the fluid as food, the phy
sician also said that it was one of the
principal sources of disease.
"Milk, in its natural state, or pre
pared by pasteurization," said Dr. Hor-
ton. "is healthful, while milk lmprop
erly cared for and impregnated with
bacteria is responsible for innumerable
diseases and ailments that not infre-
auently terminate fatally.
"In the United States there are 10.

Dr. Norton advised his hearers to
write to the National Capital and se
cure a bulletin on milk issued by the
Government. This publication is ob
tainable free of charge. It was pre
pared by thoroughly competent men
and has much that will be of value to
every reader.
The doctor described in detail the
methods in use for the preservation of
milk. He told of the heating which
kills the bacteria, the temperature at
which the milk should be kept, and the
processes In use in Southern Europt
Asiatic Turkey and Bulgaria, whereby
the people of those countries prepare
and use the milk, which has proven so
efficacious in treatment of certain
bodily ailments.

George E. Nelson, of Seattle, salesman for one of the largest flour milling concerns of the Pacific Coast, was the speaker before Friday's meeting of .the Portland Caterers' Social
Club, which was held at the club headquarters in the Morgan building. . "
Collective buying being one of the leading objects of the local caterers in forming their organization, Mr. Nelson ' criticised . their procedure from the salesman's standpoint, outlining
a series of business principles which, he said, would strengthen any co-operative plan. An Important resource of large buyers,' he pointed out, is their ability to employ expert advisers,
who are familiar with all phases of the market problems which continually arise. " .
In place of the old system, by which restaurant men purchase foodstuffs according to their various guesses on market conditions, he commended the present system of purchasing as
a remarkable advance. . . . . . ,.. . . . ,
Several phases of the restaurant men's problems were dealt with In close detail. Mr. Nelson having made a systematic study of the catering business. The preparation of bread and
pastries in restaurants vas considered an important part of the caterer's duties. Pies, cakes and all sweet pastries, he said, should be prepared within the restaurant where they are
Berved, preferably by a pastry cook who Is not required to make bread. Ordinary bread, he said, should be baked in restaurants only under exceptional circumstances, the efficiency of
the modern bakery having brought production to a greater degree- of perfection and economy than could be achieved in smaller plants. .
"I have made it a point to test the bread that is produced in every city of the United States," said Mr. Nelson, "and I find that the Portland bakers are doing work which Is sur
passed nowhere. It would be impossible for any person to obtain the same results without a much greater expense." In addition to the quality of the bread produced here, Mr. Nel
son commended its low cost. -
