This great mashine wll be all ready to grind weeks be fore the machines and buildings and appliances necessary to- furnish the prepared pulp to it are all in prder. V Major P. W. Leadbetter, the mov ing, spirit of Salem's paper mill, was in Salem yesterday, looking over the work of construction and prepara tion, and he is satisfied with the progress being made. In common with all others interested, he is anx ious to get the wheels to turning at the very earliest date possible. The price of the quality of paper that will be the first main output of the Sa lem mill has been skyrocketing late ly. Tbe increase in price that has taken place since the construction of the Salem mill was begun is suffi cient to yield very handsome returns on the investment, as high as the coats are for all laborand materials.
