There la a newly huilt and
equipped hardwood lumber plant
In Salem that Is a comer, predicts
the Slogan reporter. It is at the
corner of River and Front streets,
the official name being the J. W.
Knapp Manufacturing company.
Mr. Knapp came to Salem 21 years
ago as the foreman in the con-
ctructlon of Eaten hall of Willam
ette university. He liked the town
and proceeded to grow up with it.
He built houses; designed and
built Knight Memorial church,
bought, opened and built up the
Knight addition, on the land be.
tween North Church and North
High streets, and generally helped
In Salem s growth.
There was a hardwood opera
' " Hon where the Knapp plant is
now; but it burned. Mr. Knight
has finished a new building of
concrete for the first floor and
frame for the second floor. 35 by.
' 70 feet, with some additions, and'
has equipped it with machinery
capacity for sawing 2000 feet of
hard wood lumber ailay, for tnak.
s'fof 11.000 plugs a day for paper
rolls, and for doing some hard'
wood furniture and other special
ty work on the second floor of the
new main building.
Getting Good Start
More than this, a new equip
ment Is being Installed that will
.make f 2. paper- plugs a minute.
and thus very greatly increase the
' capacity of that part of the plant.
' Mr. Knapp has a standing order
from one firm for fire to sis mil
lions of. paper pings a year. He has
Just closed contracts under Which
the plant will hare- aa ample sup

have forms and supplemental wood work needs; and a steel
mill must have crates and boxes of timber for shipping; 25

" Salem will have more paper mills. Furniture factories

need only vision, energy and enterprise hitched to 'the re
sources nature has provided and will conserve for perman
