LET THE SAWMILLS HELP
Paper mills will locate in this vicinity if there
is sufficient pulp wood to justify it we are told.
Now there are practically no pure stands of Hem
lock and Spruce pulp wood in this county but
there are several billion feet of it scattered among
the fir. If we are ever to have a paper mill here
it must be in conjunction with existing logging
operations. No one logging operation can fur
nish sufficient pulp wood to supply a mill but no
doubt several could. There should be some re
search and organization along this line and the
sawmill operators could help materially if they
would volunteer to aid in the work. Hemlock
and white fir make poor lumber and can likely
be more profitably disposed of to a pulp mill.
Besides much of it left on the ground as not fit
for lumber would make paper pulp.
In the interest of more industries and better
utilization of our forest woods and waste, saw
mill operators and Chambers of Commerce direc
to r s should definitely determine whether or not
there is sufficient pulp wood for the practical
establishment of a pulp and paper mill in this
region.

The state public service commission should

to force the building of a railroad from Crane .o
Odell. If this can be accomplished and the Wil

both Western and Eastern Oregon would benefit
immensely. Fruit raising and dairying would
profit especially in the Willamette valley while
hay and grain growing in Eastern Oregon would
be made more profitable.
