Mill City as Strong Industrially as
Rocks Upon Which It Stands; Great
Pay-roll Derived From Mills and Camp
(By the Country Editor.)
' Mi" City, Or., June 8. Mill City,
.iIh its altitude of 835 feet 664 feet
higher han Salem is a" region o!
scenic curiosity. The gigantic woo(?
hills rise hundreds of feet above the
level plains of the valley and are very
beautiful and impressive. But more
especially so is the view from the t-ps
0f the mountains, lookini? almost
Straight down on the Santiam river as
It hurries along from its source
through the channel of rock nn.l hills
over its partial obstructions which fur
nish water falls of majestic beauty
which nature provided; the open fields
of hay, grain and pasture, thu beauti
ful orchards, and the well-kept city
created by reason of a great lumber
ing enterplise conducted bj- the Ham
mond Lumber company.
The town is built upon a natural
foundation high above .the level of the
river, and Is as permanent as .ire the
enterprises which sustain it. When
the railroad bridge was built several
years ago across the Santiam from one
'great rock to another, the depth of
water beneath was sounded and found
to be more than fifty feet. Numerous
falls along the river add to the beauty
of this mountainous section of Jfa-ion
county, where a water power of mag
nitude equaled by but one in the state
has Been developed. The water system
b above the average. Two large tanks
erected high above the city provide an
abundance of pure mountain water for
domestic use and a protectin asainst
fire.
Mill City has become quite famous
as a mountain resort and daily people
come from all parts of the state at this
time of the year to fish. Large game
Is also found in the hills near by. So
invigorating is the atmosphere, so
beautiful the surrounding and so cor
dial are Us people that the time for
departure comes with a source of re
gret. MUI City was settled in 188S and is
truly a mill city. It is located on the
Corvallis & Eastern branch of the
Southern Pacific railroad near the end,
of navigation by rail or vehicle. Tol
reach this scenic point is a thirty-five
mile drive in a southeasterly direction
from Salem on a market road now un
der cnstructlon. Even under the pres
ent condition of the road it is a pleas
ant drive and a grand place to epenu
a vacation in the mountains.
Lumbering, of course, is the chtef
industry. This is controlled by the
xxaiiiiuuim Lumoer company, one of
tne substantial lumbering concerns in
the Northwest. F. R. Olin is general
manager and has been with the com
pany for seventeen years, and thirteen
years in Mill City. The company is
operating four camps and employing
approximately six hundred men in the
mill and camps. The company owns
a large and well stocked store -where
a large portion of the trading in that
section of the country is done. The
mill Is operated every working day in
the year ,and there have been but few
forced vacations. It is always noticed
that when any mill in Oregon is m
operation the Hammond Lumber com
pany mill is Included in the number.
At present they are cutting about 200,
000 feet of lumber per day, and ship
ping to all parts of the world. Mr.
Olin said they are having serious troU'
ble in getting cars for shipment and
If relief is not given soon the mill will
have to shut down, but this will not
occur .he said, unless we are absolute
ly obliged to close. On account of the
car shortage they are obliged to hold
a vast stock of lumber at the mill at
the present time, but they hope for
improved conditions in this respect
Another enterprise of great import
ance is the Mill City State bank, es
tablished in December, 1919, by F. M.
Arnold, who is president Mr, Arnold
is a young man formerly employed in
Albany where he had several years of
banking experience. He is-building .up
a substantial banking business in Mill
City and his enterprise is proving to be
a great asset to the commercial inter
ests of that whole country. The total
resources of the bank today aggregate
$1C7, 810.49, and increase at the rate of
$30,000 per mnth since its establish
ment six months ago. There are u
merous banks, in Oregon established
years ago, whose resources are far less
than the Mill City State bank.
There Is a large hospital associated
with the lumber Interests, good schools
and churches and civic improvements
far superior to many towns of similar
population with opportunities more
favorable. The city lacks a newspaper
establishment but such an enterprise

business men and citizens. amriin.

me oans. He stated that he could see
the need of a paper in his own business.
But the towns is nrocressinir rii,liv
and this will uitimatelv pernio as re
sult of efforts on the part of a live
community club which is working over
iime ror tne improvement of general
conditions.
. Messrs. Cline and Burkall have com
menced the erection of a modern mo-'
tion picture show house which, it is
expected, will be cmpleted this sum

fall if present plans can bo consum

to be sufficient electric energy, but it
is believed this will be overcome. At
least they will go on with the construc
tion work. Articles of corporation have
already been filed, it is said, which
makes the enterprise m-acticallv no-
cured.
The Marketeria Grocery company,
under the management of Emil Nel
son, commenced excavating yesterday
preparatory to the construction ol a
modern store building which will be
ready for business within a short time.
Generally speaking the city and com
munity are developing with remark
able progress and the developments
areall of a permanent nature, indicat
ing that a great future for the citv is
anticipated. In the mountains back of
the city is an almost inexhaustible sup
piy of timber. The aboundant water
power will bring other Industries
which will sustain the city for all time
to come. Farms are being developed
every year, and soil is said to be of a
most fertile quality. A most excellent
quality of fruit Is grown In the hill sec
tions tributary to Mill City and with
in the past few years a number of
farmers have gone into the fruit Indus
try with remarkable success.

HOLSUM BREAD
"In every grain of wheat there is almost a complete
ration of raw food to meet the needs of the human body."
The U. S. Department of Agriculture in Farmers' Bulle
tin No. 807 says: "BREAD comes so near to being complete
food, i. e., to providing sufficient body building and body
regulating material, that it would be an advantage, from
the standpoint of economy (considering the nourishment
it supplies in comparison with its cost), to use it more
largely in diet.
The American family spends approximately one-tenth
of its food money for BREAD and derives more than one
fourth of its energy therefrom.
