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.
