A PERSONAL TAX ALWAYS COLLECTED
T
HE tax on uon-ad readers can not be "sworn ott. '
It is collected indirectly, of course by the people
who sell you things.
For, you sec. competition is still a force operating for
your good in the business world. And thus it happens
that, for trade reasons ono merchant will frequently
undersell all others on a particular article. When lie
does, ho tolls adrroaders about it. The non-ad reader,
who buys that article at another place at that time, pays
a "personal tax." And. in the course of a year, the "per
sonal taxes" thus paid by the non-ad reader will amount j
to a "sizable sum. indeed!

Everybody reads newspapers and periodicals, but few
know how paper is made. It is one of the oldest indus
tries in the world, older than history itself. Although the
word paper is derived from "papyrus." the beginning of
the paper industry can be traced back to ancient Chinese
history thousands of years ago. Even the half-civilized
Central American Indians, the Aztecs and Incas. knew
the art of making paper.
William Rittenhouse built the first paper mill in
America near Philadelphia in 1690. The first paper mill
in Xew England was erected in 172S. Previous to the

An examination of the trail in the
morning showed that the attacking
party numbered about twenty, and
Lieutenant Gillespie recognized the
dead chief as an Indian who had on
the preceding morning given him a
fine fish, the first food he has tasted
for forty hours. On the eleventh of
May Fremont left his main camp
and started for California, to begin
the war of independence which re
sulted in its conquest by tho United
States. A detachment of about fif
teen men was left at the scene oft
the midnight attack to punish the per
petrators should they return to it.

raw material, cleaning it, grinding it into pulp, diluting
it with water, forming a sheet and allowing it to dry. The

but in ffCUeral tllCV are made bv the Same prOCCSS. tlie.it required a considerable degree of
0 - -
difference being in the finishing.
In a general wav it mav be said that the manufacture
of paper from wood pulp involves about twenty-eight sep
arate operations from the harvesting of the spruce sticks
to the marketing of the finished product, including the!
process of cleaning, barking, chipping, grinding, screen
ing, digesting, cooking, washing, pressing, beating, drying,
calendering, etc. j
Pulp logs of spruce, hemlock, beech, cottonwood, etc.,
are cut during the entire year. The logs are conveyed j
from the river or cars to the mill where they are cut in !
sticks two feet long and dropped into a vat of water toj
remove the dirt. From this vat the stocks are conveyed j
to the barkers where revolving knives strip the bark from i
each stick. The wood is reduced to a pulp in the grinders j
where each stick is forced against a large grindstone
which revolves at a speed of 200 revolutions a minute, rap
idly reducing the food fibre to a pulpy mass. Water is
freely used in this process to soften the wood, to wash
the pulp from the stone and keep the wood from burning.
This pulp is screened to remove splinters, bark and dirt
and then racked off on wet machines in laps or large
matted sheets one-quarter inch thick. This is the usual
method for storage or shipment, as from these thick sheets
the finished product is rolled and finished.
In the sulphite process the wood is first chipped, then
crushed to break up all the knots and splinters. These
chips are then placed in a large vat and covered with an
acid solution which eats away everything but the cellulose,
and it is then heated to a high temperature by steam.
After this process the stock is screened and washed and
finally run over the wet machines which consist of cylin
der molds covered with wire doth placed in vats. The
water is withdrawn from the inside of the revolving cylin
ders, leaving the fibre in a thick, soft mass on the outer
surface of the screen, from which it is removed by a
"doctor" and run into storage tanks ready for use in a
paper mill.
It is in the beater room that the finished pulp is pre
pared for making the numerous qualities and colore of
paper. During the processes of beating and mixing the
color is added to produce the shade desired. Then the
rosin size is added to give the necessary non-absorbing
qualities and sufficient alum is put in to set the colors.
After leaving this room the stock is called "stuff" and
is run into stuff chests. From tho stuff box the pulp is j
put through the Jordon engine which mixes it thoroughly.!
and it is ready to be made into the finished product. The I
paper stuff after being screened again is run through thet
Fourdrinier paper machine which consists of the follow- j

In August, JLS50, two packers,
Cashing and Frink, were killed on tho

In January, 1851, a conflict occurr

People of refinement; people with means; retired business men; professional men;
college and university graduates, arc coming to the Rogue River Valley by tho score.
Within the past two years almost a hundred Chicago and Evanston, Illinois, people have
purchased homes near Medofrd, and nearly every one of them has a friend or two
whom they hope to induce to come and locate in the valley.
New York, Philadelphia, Boston and many other eastern cities arc almost if not
quite as well represented, while St. Paul and Minneapolis have more representatives
here than any other several cities combined.
Think these statements over and get your thinker going. Write to the undersigned
or the Medford Commercial Club for detailed informtaion about the country, and you
will never have cause to regret it.
