' 1 Vvi li.'OELitllT Oho of First States to Have - a Mill At Oregon ;;:-'::City:--'.: :t Back in 1884, Oregon took a pioneering: step in industry by be glnnin toe macufai;tare ot Port land cement -till Industry which later wag to , become one . of the , important ones of the country. Al though Portland cement had bees manufactured in fcngland for 60 years before thls-ever since the inrention of the ' material ' by Jo seph Aspdin, an English: hricklay er the United States did not un dertake 'the manufacture of the material until . about 50" years later, and Oregon was one of the first states' tn the country to, hare mill, which was established at Oregon City. ; .'1 'r : . The factory was designed and managed by a man named Middle ton, who was regarded as some thing of a genius. His plant was built after plans which were really ten years ahead of his time. ' The raw material, a cement rock from Southern Oregon, was ground in pebble mills at the Ore gon City plant, and the raw mix burned In a gas-fired rotary kiln. This gas was made principally from Australian coal.' The falls o the Willamette, Jusf above the mill,' furnished the power-to op erate the machines. This pioneer mill produced 100 .barrels a day of true Portland cement superior quality to the imported ' cements ot that day. . - . . t . - . .--,'-.'.--' '. For; more than a, year -the Ore-gott-CUy plan, .was -successful. It was decided to raise the capitaliza tion and increase the' capacity. However, at this time the diree tors ordered a surrey of-the quar ry, which reTealed that the .rock supply was 'virtually exhausted. The workmen .bad been quarrying on a thfh layer of stone standing on edge against the hillside. The apparently inexhaustible supply of raw. materials was only a veneer, and the ledderg of . the enterprise saw that they would be unable to operate for want of material. The plant- was therefore dismantled and the machinery was sold in 1890. . ' '-"-y-.j Y Suhseqaently : the industry was re-established . in state;, and there are now plants at Oswego, Gold Hill and; Lime. . t Inasmuch as '1924 marks the hundredth year since the' inven tion of Portland cement, the Unit ed States and England will ; ob serve ; the ; centennial : this year. The history ot the la.st hundred years "with Vegard to Portland ce ment manufacture reveals a rapid development Jn the evolution or an industry. In the United States this growth has' been especially rapid, "for while this country was 50 years, behind Great Britain in beginning the- manufacture of the product, it now 'outranks .other nations in its output of Portland cepjen. Frbm a fejv thousand bar rels in 1875 the output has grown until, last year, it was 137,377, 000 barrels. ' " We infer that, the.
