Saving ' v . 2 Be" Purchased Indications Are Hammond Heirs to Keep Machinery Going 3 to 6 Months Only By ANNA A. LAKE MILL CITY, Feb. 28. Rumors, rumors and more rumors to the effect that the Hammond Lumber company in tended to close their big saw mill in Mill City have been gor ing the rounds for so long that the majority- of people had come tobeiieve it a joke. However two weeks ago 'several members of the office force said they " had received notice the office would be closed within 30 days, and at the same time clerks in the store said they had been given notice. As a. result those employed in the mill who have always held hopes that the mill would never close down, have at last given in that such will become a O fact During, the past two weeks "a sadness has come to the people of the happy and prosperous lit tle city on the North Santiam, most of whom depend either di rectly or Indirectly upon the work in the mill and logging camps for a living. When onet considers that approximately 75 pep cent of the employes own their own homes, that for ' the most part they have given the best years of their life in the in terest of the sawmUl owners and that in all probability at least two thirdspf the wages received have gone back into the coffers of the employers, it is not to be wondered at that dismay had struck the hearts of the people. Had Mr. Hammond lived it would in all probability have been a different story as it ia understood that he wished the -mill here to. continue operations. However, the heirs are centering their in terests in the California holdings. Much of the camp equipment from Camp 17 above Detroit as well as the rails, was sent to the Hammond mills in California, al though it is understood that some was sold to other interests. ' Dismantle Camp 20 Camp 26 which was allegedly closed early in 1934 becau.se of fire hazard, after operating for only a few "weeks, ii being dis mantled, the equipment being sold to c&p ps elsewhere. This camp : was a small town in itself during the logging season. Run ning water and electric lights were in the houses occupied by the families of the loggers, the company receiving recompense for same. A big bunk house and cook house took care of the sin gle men and foodstuff was sup plied by the company store in Mill City. A standard guage rail road run from Mill City to the camp, a distance of six miles or more, although in fact it covered a longer distance as the road was continued on up the .mountains several miles to tha scene of log ging operations.

If they should be sold the mill will stop operations at once. This does not mean that the entire mm would run for that long but the planers would con tinue. Men are being laid off In various departments everv dav. Some few have secured work else where, but for the most part the majority do not know where to go to find employment, and as they have families, it is next to impossible to take them as very iew oi us woramen have saved money enoirgh to go . elsewhere. With the forcing of the company to go into the NRA, wages were raised a trifle but hours were cut down and in the long run the men did not receive as much as they had before, and by tiie time the water bill, the electric light bill, and the grocery bill was paid, the company not only had received the labor orthe employes but had as well received the wages. Close Store Shortly The big company store or Red & White store as the name on the buildinc designates it, will be closed within a month it is un derstood. The 10 xlerks were told sometime ago that if they could find work elsewhere not to hes itate to take It. The sawmill was erected in 1887 by John A. Shaw, Thomas Sims', Lee Brown and W. H. Hob son, under the name of the San tiam Lumber company? It was the first and oniy sawmill in Mill City. The following year they had a postoffice established under the name of Mill City. The mill had a capacity at that time of 35,000 feet per day. In 1899 this com pany dissolved, selling the mill to the Curtis Lumber company. The capacity of the mill was enlarged to 80,000 feet per day and 200 employes were kept busy, in sup plying the coast markets with its products. Mill History Given The Curtis Lumber company continued to operate the mill un til about 1907 when it was sold to Hammond. The capacity of the mill was raised to 20,000 feet per day although there have been 294 X. Commercial MACARONI Curve. Cut 22c lbs. Peter Pan Flour CATSUP Kern's, large 12-oz. bottle . .

Before the company had to sign up the NRA almost MO men were em ployed In the mill, with 250 more m4 at the logging camps. While the greater number of men are residents of Mill City, there are many from Lyons. Gates, Fox Val ley and Stay ton working. ,In addition to the mill the elec tric light and . water system .for the city ia operated and owned by the Hammond people. . Mill Ranks High The mill Is oae of the largest and best equipped , on the coast having seven planers, head saw, pony saw, two band saws, a hog with a capacity of seven cars a day, a chipper which has been used mostly for hemlock tor pa per, seven dry. kilns with a capa city of about 60,000, sheds for dressed lumber, moldings and fin ished, products, green" ehain or sorting r chain across river- for green lumber, three Stetson Rosa lumber carriers, and two timber machines, and a yard with a ca pacity of 12,000,000 feet. The shingle mill has two ma chines, knee bolter' and a cut-off saw.' It has recently been cutting about 40,000 but has a capacity about double that. Mill City Is undoubtedly the largest unincorporated city In the United States, having a popula tlon of over 1200, the majority of whom are dependent on the mill for a living. There are no po lice officers, and there are no de predations. One seldom hears of a fight there are no drunken men on the streets, no robberies. The schools of which there is an accre dited high school employing a su perintendent five teachers and a coach, and the grade school with a superintendent and eight teach ers, three churches, the four ser vice stations, confectioneries, two pool halls, and a printing plant. If the mill closes these will all suffer and the beautiful little city will undoubtedly be fated to Join the ranks of other "gto6t towns." Contagion Visits Zena School First for Several Years ZENA.
