'Lagooning' Offered to Mills
As Solution for Pollution
i Portland, Feb. 17 (ff) The long-standing problem of Willamette
river pollution seemed a step nearer solution today.
Officials of paper mills generally considered the worst in
dustrial offenders indicated that a new proposal called "lagoon
ing" was the most promising yet put forward.
"Lagooning" calls for storage
of mill waste In lagoons uumns
low-water months. Gates to the
lagoons are opened as water flow
increases in winter and spring.
If this is successful, the state
sanitary authority would have
only one big pollution problem
remaining sewage from cities.
And most cities along the river
have undertaken sewage treat
ment systems intended to solve
this problem.
The paper mill problem long
has been a stumbling block, and
it seemed no nearer solution
Wednesday when the Crown
Willamette mills at West Linn
and Lebanon indicated they
would close before installing ex
pensive means of disposing of
waste.
But other mills appeared be
fore the sanitary authority yes
terday, and indicated they would
be willing to undertake lagoon
ing if costs were as low as esti
mated by Oregon State college.
The suggestion for lagooning
came from OSC's school of engi
neering, which estimated costs
at $177,500 to $231,000 for each
paper mill. It is far under the
cost of other systems of waste
disposal.
Mill officials, notified by the
sanitary authority to quit pol
luting the river by Dec. 31, 1951,
told the state body yesterday
that all other means of hand
ling waste were too expensive,
but they agreed to study fur
ther costs of lagooning.
The mill men said it sounds
feasible. They asserted mill
wastes dumped in the river
principally sulphite liquors do
no harm to humans. The princi
rjal effect is to use up oxygen
In the water and so kill fish at
low-water periods.
Oregon State engineers believe
the wastes can safely be dumped
In the river on all but about
20 days a year the low-water
months of July, August, Sep
tember and October.
N. G. Teren, vice president
of the Oregon pulp and paper
company at Salem, indicated his
firm once had considered a form
of lagooning. He said the plant
had acquired most of Minto Is
land in the Willamette for stor
age of waste, but never had
used it in belief state authorities
would not approve it as a per
manent system of waste dis
posal.

Liberal Trade-In Allowance
Demo $100-a-Plate
In Washington
By ARTHUR EDSON
Washington, Feb. 17 () Land sakes, and what has come over
the democratic party?
The party that has bragged
of the one-eyed mule and the
dinner that cost $100 a date.
It brought in a society orches
tra, fancy dancers and served
three bottles of American bur
gundy at each table.
What's more, one lady snowed
up wearing a minK stole.
. For the Jefferson-Jackson day
dinner definitely was a spendi
ferous affair. Most of the women
wore evening dress, a lot of the
men were in evening Jackets,
and the whole atmosphere was
one of great refinement.
During President Truman's
speech there was polite and oc
casionally enthusiastic ap
plause. But there were no rebel
yells or the general pandemon
ium that so often have been as
sociated with democratic out
ings. The biggest applause came
when Mr. Truman said:
How in the world can the
republicans persuade people
that all you democrats at all
these dinners are socialists?"
And then he interpolated: "I just
don't believe they can do it."
The vast National Guard ar
mory was nicely decorated. It's
400 feet long by 200 feet wide,
with approximately two acres
of floor space.
Yet the decorators managed
to make this enormous barn
seem cozy.
The bare walls at the end
were covered with paintings of
the Lincoln and Jefferson me
moriais. The overhanging lights
were gauze kimonos.
If some of the customers who
forked out $100 thought they
were going to get so chummy
with Mr. Truman they could ask
how Mrs. Truman and Margaret
were getting along, they were
doomed to disappointment.
Those in the far corners were
appxomiately a city block from
M. Truman, although durnig
the lulls some of the far flung
managed to squirm up close
enough to shake the hands of
notables
One of the biggest questions
of the night was: How was the
steak?
ine press couldn't answer
that. It ate in a separate room,
and had ham, shrimp and
chicken a la king. The reports
we picked up on the steak
weren't conclusive.

Man Finds Daughter
Thought to be Dead
