The mill will have a capacity of 600 tons of high grade pa per the only kind to be made in this now mill each month, until the plant i enlarged, as Is planned when condi tions' so shape themselves that this can be done.

K. flpaulding Log- rlnsr company, of Salem,, vlce-presi dent; Roy II. Mills, secretary of the Chan. K. Bpaulding Logging company, . Is named secretary of the paper coiu !. pany; A. N.

The Oregon Pulp & Paper company was Incorporated with a capital stock of $800,000. Articles of incorporation were filed with the state corporation commissioner lata in March. , The mill of ths Company Is located but two blocks from the heart of the . Salem business district. It will be 275 feet Ion and 86 feet wide, with three torlee on the west end of the mill, and two stories in the center and on the act end. The building nousing . "'digester" will he 30x60 feet and 80 feet high. This will adjoin the paper mill. When the mill begins to operate in August 128 employes will be required This will mean an addition to Balem's payroll wealth of approximately $15, 00 monthly. '-' The operations of the mill will be v confined eololy to making sulphite for grease proof anil book print paper. These are the highest grades of paper manufacture. White fir, hemlock and - nruce. all to be taken from Oregon forests, will be used to make this pn per. It t estimated that 45 torda will be used daily. Process Internet Iiik. The process of making paper, known to but few persons, Is very interesting. The timber from which the paper U made la first cut Into blocks about 20 lirfthes long. Those blocks are shorn of their bark by specially made machines. They are then placed in "grinders" roming out in chips about half the else of a man's thumb. These chips are placed in the "di Crester," a cast iron tank 15 feet In diameter and 40 feet deep. Steam and sulphuric acid are then turned In on these chips, cooking it, and eating out everything but the finest fibres of the wood. This cooking process in the "di gester" usually takes from nine to 12 hours. The result of this process, a pulpy substance, Is what . Is termed sulphite." Pulp is Treated. The sulphite is then taken to the "beaters." a circular tank containing running water. This reduces the sul phite to a finer degree than when it : left the digester. Coloring and other necessary chemicals are then added. From the beater the pulp drops into a tank after reaching a certain fineness. I'owerful pumps then force the waterv i mass Into "Jordan engines" where cen trlfugal motion reduces It to a yet fin er state. It is then conveyed onto screens, passing over which it is reduced to thirteen-thousands of an Inch In sise. Swiftly moving tables convey it from the screens on to the "apron cloth" which tends to remove part of the wa ter and spreads it into the desired width for the paper machine. -- HOP WIRE WANTED AT ONCE ANY AMOUNT ANYWHERE STELNBOCK JUNK CO.

Street I The pulp then reaches the "wire' This Is a screen, 75 mesh in fineness, which, with ths aid of suction tanks beneath, extracts the water leaving a sticky, slimy mass. From the wire it is conveyed on felts into the puner ma- Ichine. Machines nrc Large. The paper machine, in size 175 long and 20 feet wide, consists of 20 drier rolls. After passing around these steam heated rolls the pulp comes ont at the other end paper. Leaving the paper machine the paper is rolled into huge rolls, weigh- ins often as much as a ton each, and being 124 inches long.' These rolls are removed to the finishing, department where it is cut into desired sizes, and stamp designs are placed. The paper machine, beaters, finish ing department, chippers, barkers and grinders will all be housed in the larg est mill. Machine shops, tool houses and supply buildings will also be built in additon to the mill and . digester building.
