Paper Mill to Have Twice
Capacity First Intended
Salem's paper mill will have twice
the rapacity that It waa intended to
have at the kick-off.
There will be two great paper ma
chines instead of one. when the
wheels are ready to turn.'
And there will be room In the
great building for a third machine.
whicb. no doubt, will not bo long in
coming.
Work is being speeded up la ev
ery possible way on the construction
of the main machinery building. .The
bad weather conditions of last month
threw the work behind somewhat.
The paper machines, or parts of
them, are on the way, and being
shipped dally.
Hence the hurry.
The roof of the main machinery
building must be on within a month.
if possible, or even sooner, if there Is
any virtue in puhing the work,-and
tne team work,, to the limit.
, The outside walls, or cement col
umns for the walla, are now being
"poured" as fast as the best equip
ment can perform the task.
very soon now. tne "rorms" can
be taken off. and the huge handsome
building will begin to assume some
thing more In the shape ia which it
wtu-rinally appear a great, orna
mental structure largely of gWs.
Everywhere there will be glass.
The rest of the structure will be
merely to hold the class.
Hence, there will be the maximum
of light, and the maximum of venti
lation, two very important things in
mooern factory construction.
Salem's new paper mill will be
far and away the finest and best and
most up-io-oate paper mill ever
built.
It will not be the largest In the
world, to begin with, but it will be
the best, and It will have twice the
capacity intended to start with. It
will have all sorts of room to grow
an tne idle acres In the river and
creek bottoms to the south of It.
Things down at the corner of
Trade and South Commercial will
get more interesting every day from
now on. and the workmen will be
able to show something more of ac
tual progress daily than heretofore
because they are all above the
ground now. and reaching towards
tne sates and the roofs.
