. II. Goodenounh Gives History of Paper
Industry Address Illustrated by
Lanter Slides Made by Sjieaker.
"In V.W," shU W. H. Goodenough,
addressing the citizens of the city at
the Commercial club Tuesday night,
"forty three per cent of all the water
power developed in the United States
was used oy pulp and papir mills.
Vhe latest trade directories show 7;U
firms operating 50 paper and 24(1 pulp
mills, representing an invested capital
of over $278,000, IKK), employing upward
of 100,000 laborers and producing ap
proximately a product of 4,000,000 tons
annually." However Mr. Goodenough
slated that as yet not a single paper
mill manufacturing finer qualities of
writing paper had been established on
the Pacific Coast. All of the paper of
this kind is shipped in from the East
and Middle West. "The greater part
of this liner writing paper," he said,
"is made of old rags and scrap paper,
old newspapers and magazines. All
of this material goes to waste out here.
In the Fast and Middle West all of
these old rags and scraps are made use
of."
"The Pacific coast needs a paper mill
to make its finer writing paper." con
tinued Mr. Uoodenough, "and to utilize
some of the water if its pure streams
and ideal water power sites. 1 have
been to a number of cities since I have
been on the coast just to look for piper
mill sites. However, I have never
seen a better location for such an in
dustry than right here at Hood Kiver.
You have the water as pure as any
place in the'wurld and any amount of
power can be developed."
A large audience, composed of both
men and women, listened to Mr. Good
enough with interest. In the course of
his lecture, which was illustrated with
lantern slides, showing scenes of some
of the larger paper mills of the coun
try, he demonstrated how papier was
made by hand, making several sheets
before the audience. The scenes de
picted by the lantern slides showed
every form of paper making, from the
old hand processes down to the most
modern machinery. Mr. Goodenough
has spent almost his entire life in the
paper business, and just before coming
west was manager of one of the larg
est mills in the west. Pictures of this
mill were shown Tuesday night. Mr.
(ioodeuough is what one might call a
skilled amateur photographer. All of
the photographs as well as the slides
shown by him Tuesday night were
made by himself.
At the beginning of bis lecture he
gave a short history of the milking of
paper. "The Chinese," he said "were
the first to make paper in the web
from fibres. In the second century
they used for raw materals the inner
bark of trees, such as the mulberry,
bamboo, rags and rice straw. In
China, paper is used for various pur
poses such as handkerchiefs, napkins,
articles of clothing and twine. A cer
tain quantity is often secured to their
wives in their marriage contracts,
showing that the Chinese consider pa
per indispensable.
"The knowledge of the art was com
municated bv the Chinese to the Hin
doos and Arabs, about the eighth cen
turey, and was carried into Spain by
the Moors in 1189; from Spain to
France in 1210, Germany 1312, Eng
land 1310. In 1090 John Kittenhausen,
a native of Holland, put the first paper
mill in America, at Roxboro, Pennsyl
vania. Linen paper was first made in
the fourteenth century. The oldest
paper made of cotton, of which a rec
ord is known, is a deed of King Roger,
of Sicily, in the year 1102. Since then
machine made paper has supplanted
hand made paper."
During the eighteenth century, (chlo
ride of lime, for bleaching not being
known) rags were sorted for their col
ors, the color of the rag determining
the color of the paper.
THIRD TOM POLICY
FINDSJ)PPOSITION
That the policy of permitting the
third term policy for any president is
contrary to all precedents of the past
history of the country and contrary to
the unwritten law, is the declaration
of W. H. Ayer, chairman of the Taft
Club of Multnomah county. Mr. Ayer,
who regards it as a patriotic duty to
combat the third term policy, points to
the following facts of American his
tory as warrants fur a calling on the
citizenship tor opposing the third
term :
The house of Representatives in re
ply to Washington s farewell address
made this striking declaration: For
our country's sake, for the sake of
Republican liberty, it is our earnest
wish that your example may be the
guide of your successors, and this after
being the ornament and safeguard of
the present age become the patrimony
of our descendants.
Jefferson followed the example of
Washington. Many times he put on
record his approval of the limitation.
On January (i, 18().ri, he wrote to his
friend Taylor: General Washington
set the example of voluntary retire
ment after eight years. 1 shall follow
it. And a few more precedents will
oppose the obstacle of habit to anyone
after a while who shall endeavor to
extend his term.
Again, on June 7, 1807. he wrote to
Mr. Weaver: If some period be not
fixed, either by the Constitution or by
practice, to the services of the First
Magistrate, bis office, though nomin
ally elective, will, in fact, be for life,
and that will soon degenerate into an
inheritar.te.
Perhaps the most striking utterance
is the following which is found in the
Kansas Republican Platform of 1874:
The unwritten law enacted by the ex
ample by the father of his country in
declining a re-election to a third term
is 89 controlling as though it were
incorporated in the National Constitu
tion and ought to never be violated.
The House of Representatives passed
the following resolution on December
15. 1875, by a vote of -233 to 18: Re
solved: That, in the opinion of this
House, the precedent established by
Washington and other presidents of the
United States in retiring from the
presidential office after their icond
term has become by universal consent,
a part of our republican svftem of
' government and that any departure 1
irom mis iimc-nonoreu custom would j
be unwise, unpatriotic, and fraught I
wun pern 10 our iree institutions. j
President Roosevelt (l!H)4) : On the:
lourth or March next 1 shall have
served three and a half years, and
these three and a half years constitute
my first term. The wise custom which
limits the president to two terms re-1
gards the substance and not the form,
and urder no circumstance will I he a
candidate for or accept another nom
ination,
DANCEF SHfTiXERS
MERRIEST OF YEAR
No merrier event has over been par

dance of the Hood River Mystic Shrin

rrmny evening, r.very Heeling mo
ment Was tilled with lilxumira
time the Vogel orchestra, augmented by
additional pieces from Portland, played
the Rrand march, when the Shriners
appeared in their Fezes, until the
strains of "Home Sweet Home"
brought the dance to a close. Shrine
emblems hung from the tapestries of
the room and the front page of the
handsome program bore the impression
of the Scimitar and Crescent as did the
napkin that was given to each guest,
when the dainty luncheon was being
served at the tables arranged to form
a huge crescent. One of the features
of the program was that every dance
bore an Arabic name.
between the dances the guests of
the Shriners did not lack for entertain
ment. A few "All the Same Gridiron

the evening. One from president Taft
stated that he was decidedly sorry that

CALCIUM LIGHTS TO
SHINE ON CELEBRITIES
When the curtain goes up tonight
aiier inai overture, the tune of which
sounds suspiciously like the Msvsteri
ous Rag, the audience, which will fill
the Heilbronner hall, will be in fit trim
to enjoy those gems of the vauduville
and minstrel stage which will be hand
ed out to us by such celebrities as
I. apt. MoLan and Dad Epping. Lew
Dockstader has heard of the event and
has wired that lie will be present.
Dockstader'B minstrelH have been re
ported to be on the decline. Thev will
shine next season: for ' he is coming
wun a lull purse anil on business bent
to carry away the locul stars, if he can
pursuade thorn to leave Hood River.
The atmosphere is already becoming
charged with a kind of expectancy.
Old fulkn and boys have been wiilching
Rev.li. A. MacDunaid, the press agent,
as he, with an air of nonchulauce, has
been pasting the bills of announce
ments in windows and on fences. The
feeling that we all have today is akin
to that preceeding the circus, when we
were kids.
A few have been allowed to watch
the rehearsals. After seeing one per
formance every one wanted to see
every other as well as that of tonight
and a guard had to be placed at the
door to keejj back the mob. Art
Clarke and Clarence Gilbert, in roily
polly Coon garb will sing and dance
and crack jokes until your sides ache.
Mrs. McCan and Mrs. F.pping will be
seen in song and dance. Mrs. Henney,
Mrs. Slctton and Miss Constance Hen
derson will participate in a serious
black faced sketch. A parade will
traverse the streets this afternoon.
STORAGE FACILITIES
PLANMDFOR CROP
With work begun Monday in prepar
ation for building a big addition to the
storage facilities of the Davidson Fruit
Co. and the Apple Growers' Union
making plana to increase the capacity
of its storage rooms several hundred
thousand boxes, Hood River will be
prepared to care for the apple crop,
which bids fair to be the largest the
Valley has ever had, passing the mil
lion box mark. The old wooden struc
ture at the west end of the brick
storage plant of the Davidson Fruit
Co, which has been used as a
receiving house is being demolished.
The new addition, which will be three
stories in height and built of brick.
will extend from the present brick
storage house 150 feet west along the
O.-W. K. & N. tracks. It will be 40
feet wide and will increase the capac
ity of the company for storage from
about 35,000 boxes to 100,000 boxes.
No change will be made in the re
frigerating machinery of the Davidson
Co., for last Spring when an additional
lot of machinery was added its capacity
was made sufficient to care for the new
building.
The Hood River Apple and htorage
Co., composed of a number of hast
Side orchardists, will probably begin
the excavation next week on their big
storage warehouse at Van Horn. Their
building will have a capacity of ir0,000
boxes of apples.
Bryan Makes Short Stop Here.
William Jennings Bryan, who was
on hia way to Portland, where he made
several addresses last week, passed
through the city last Thursday.
Among those who were present to
greet Mr. Bryan during his short stop
were Judge Derby, Judge Geo. D.
Culbertson, Charles Davidson, Mrs.
Anna K. Baker, Alex MacRae, J.
Blackman, J. M. Culbertson and J. I).

10, when the following board was

IK. H. Waugh, M. Pendergast, A I. W.

Mohr. The meeting at winch the
directors were elected was an adjourn
ed meeting of the regularly called
stockholders' meeting of three weeks
before. However, at this meeting, an
insufficient amount of the stock was
represented to constitute a quorum and
those present decided to adjourn the
meeting until a later dHte in order to
conduct business. However, it has
since been learned that by the by laws
of the organization this adjourned
meeting, without a quorum of stock

YAKIMA MGR. GIVES
IDEAS ON SELLING
In answer to a letter written him by
I ruman Butler, chairman of the com
mittee appointed to make an investiga
tion leading to selling methods between
the northwestern fruit districts, J. II.
Uobbins, manager of the Yakima Val
ley Fruit Growers' Association states
that he is cippposed to any method
which approaches that proposed by the
Northwestern Fruit Exchange. Given
below are the pertinent punigraplis of
Mr. Robbins' letter:
"We are urralterably opposed to the
consideration of any Central Selling
Agency plan that contemplate the
uniting of a cooperative o? non-prolit
interest with that of a private or prolit
making interest. They are like oil and
water, and will not mix. '
"This character of organization was
several limes tried out among thu
orange growers of Celifornia and was
finally ubRiidond lit' the expressed
reason that they were diametrically
opposed to each other and could not
work in harmony. v.
It is our beliet that a Central nliin
should be wholly private or wholly co
operative. We'du not believe that the
rruit Growers interests of the North
west will ever be best served through
the building up in their midst of a
great private marketing agency far
neiter we imnk to build a strong co
operative o non-profit organization
whoHe whole machinery power and
influence will be continually exerted in
their behalf.
"We shall at all times be clad to
cooperate with the other fruit districts
of the Northwest in everything tending
tor tneir mutual (food.
ORDINANCE WILL
. GOVERN SPRAYING
After next Monday, when the citv
council will pass an ordinance to
govern spraying of fruit trees and
shrubs, Hood River will probably be
the only city in the state or t e
country with municipal provisions for
the spraying or trees. The ordinance
was ordered prepared at the Monday
evening meeting of the council. It
will probably be drawn along lit en
similar to ordinances providing for
the improvement of streets. One man
will probably do all the spraying, the
contract for which will be let to the
lowest bidder. The ordinance will
have an emergency clause attached
and will be effective immediately on
passage.
Fruit Inspector W. H. Lawrence
says that San Jose Scale is about the
only pest in .the city that will need
attention. lie advises two applica
tions of lime and sulphur, not weaker
than one part of lime and sulphur to
nine parts of water. '1 he applications
should be made while the buds are
lormant and the lat application should
not be made alter the buds have
opened.
lhespraying will be under the sun-
ervision of the fruit inspector or the
city marshal.
