BANK or VERNONIA Vernonia, Oregon ì .Tir,,..rftmutn 4 If you were permitted to walk all over the big new mill site covering over 200 acres right in Vernonia, you would see the largest construction works you have seen since the big war ship building days. Vernonia is true to her reputation as the busiest town in Oregon and the sub stantial improvements on all sides certainly look encouraging. Remember when some said the town was drawing too many peo ple? Doesn’t that sound funny now? Remember when they said the schools were large enough; when they said there wasn’t room fo” two theaters;we had too many this a d too many that. Those were the “small town days.” Those days are gone forever in Vernonia. They are building acres of buildings, get acres built nojv and starting on the ali steel and cement mil. It is one of the largest mills and yards in Amer ca. It is the largest mill,pond and yards in the North west. This is only one of Ver nonia’s mills, but this one will guarantee a city here of 5000 people in less th n two years. Wen re not figuring high enough; we are too conservative; we are not improving fast enough for the growth. But we are coming right along faster than any other city in Oregon of several times our size. COTTAGES FOR HOMELESS CHILDREN Those who have considered the W. C. T. U. ns antiquated and past its usefulness must have suffered a serious jolt if they attended the dedication of the two first units of the Children’s Farm Home of that organization on the fifth of the current month. On a farm of 245 acres, the pick in point of fertility and beauty in Benton County, they have erected two beauti. ful Homes for dependent children, where something over 40 h' ppy girls and boys are being given real Christian home training. The ages vary from 3 years to 15 and they have come from various portions of the state. These have been selected from more than 100, in whose interest applications have been made, as the most needy ones. To provide for the constantly increasing waiting list,other cottages will be built as rapidly aa the funda can be gathered, and those who appreciate the yalue of childhood are appealed to, to assist in this extension of one of the most worthy enterprises of the state, whether viewed from a humanitarian or an economic view point. It is always chesjier to save a child than to care for a criminal, and a homeless child haa a large chance to become an expensive charge. Mayor George L. Baker, of Portland, chairman of the Portland committee, charged with raising Portland’s quota for the Farm Home Building Fund, turned the ground for the Portland cottage, plans for which are already completed, contract let and work will be under way immediately, with the hope that it may lie ready for the re ception of children early in the year, The dedication exercises were wit nessed by a large crowd of people coming from various portions of the atate. Judge Walter Evans, Chairman of the Farm Home Board, presided. Addresses were made by Mrs. Mary Mallet, President of Oregon W. C. T. U., Governor Walter M. Pierce, Hon Frank B. Irvine and others. Mrs. Ada Wnllace Unruh, Executive Secretary of the Board, through whose efforts the money has been raised, told briefly the financial outlook, explaining that $75,000 was alre idy invested in the Home, a generous balance in the treas ury for the new cottage, with many outstanding pledges apart from $75, 000 pledged by other organisations to be paid later. pleted on their site near the depot. This is absolutely the best building of its kind on the railroad and in the valley. They are now ready for business. They advertise storage space for rent and handle flour, hay, grain cereals and produce. Visit the new warehouse; a wonderful thing among Vernonia insti- tions.
