Yards now working : one Blurt will be working three every day ju.ff as soon as the men can be f found. This means that every mill in the state will be running to its fullest : capacity, as in order to produce timber suitable for ship building requires the cutting of about three times the quan tity oi timber used jn the ships tneiu- selves. The market, too, will be provided I tor there will be ships built of the lum ber that will have to make the voyage j to the Atlantic, and of course they will not bo allowed to make the trip empty. ' If they do not carry Oregon grain or J" other products they will carry Oregon 'lumber to the markets of the east aud so find sale for the extra products. This I condition will exsist so long as the war lusts, and then it will increase, for the I reason that with the ending of the war j the labor scarcity will not trouble. Af I ter the war there will be a tremendous demand for ships, not only to take the place of those destroyed in the ruthless j submarine war, but to carry the enor- i uious quantities of material necessary ! to rebuild a wrecked continent. Ho far j as the demand is concerned it is safe to say that it will be a dozen years at i least before the wona catches up with 1 itself and replaces what in its madness ! it has destroyed. In tho meanwhile the forests of Southern pine which now sup ply the eastern markets will be well along toward exhaustion and the bal ance of the' country must look to the forests of the northwest for its timber. It is when this time conies that Ore gon forests will yield a tremendous har vest of gold. Oregon's Timber Reserves. Placed in a solid body Oregon's tim ber would cover an area of 120 miles wide by 275 miles long. When is is re membered that there is more than three times as much timber to the acre on Ore gon forests as in those of the east some idea of the vastucss of tho state's tim ber resources can be obtained. Whilo Marion is not one of the larger timber counties, her showing iu .that line is a considerable one. Timber cruisers estimate her timber values at $100,000, 000. aud this is considered a conserva tive one. Unfortunately data on Oro gon 's products are not available? no provision being made by the state for obtaining and tabulating them. Labor commissioner Hoff has done some valu- ! able work in this lino and from his com putation a showing is made that is en couraging. Marion county has ten saw mills, seven saw and planing mills, and one handle factory. The latter had the contract for and manufactured a million or more tent pegs for use in the army, being given the job soon after the Am erieans entered the war last April. Fine Local ill. One of the largest mills is that of the Chns. K. Spaulding company, located at Salem, which has a capacity of 110,000 M'U'-r-'M - "; wWri' J - t.tf, i'uihi m R rsi V" nu m ? mifsm wk mil ; - SALEM'S MODEL BAKERY-AN UP-TO-DATE INDUSTRY NOW COMPLETING ITS FIRST YEAR. One of the most snappv, up-to-date businesses in this city, is the Cherry City Baking company, manufacturers of Holsum and Tip-Top bread, located at Broadway and Market streets, in north Salem. While it is one of Salem's newest con cerns, it has shown what may be done by any firm that will maintain one standard of quality and service. Plac ing their goods upon the market for he first time, January 23, 1917, with no previous business or reputation, tney have gradually built up a daily average of 3500 one pound loaves per day, to gether with the usuul amount of pies, cake? and other pastries. The largest part of this output is con sumed in Salem, the balance being ship ped to all parts of the Willamette val ley, Coos Bay, Newport and other dist ant points; in fact the charges paid on express to companies operating out of Salem, reaches a tidy sum, while the gross receipts, amounting to several hundred dollars per week, from this phase of the business means added in coma for this city, because were it not for this plant being located here this money would naturally flow to the large bakeries of Portland. A Modern Plant. This bakery occupies a modern one story face brick building 103x124 feet, has hardwood floors in the manufactur ing and shipping departments, with all sanitary features that go to make a modern plant. Ninety-eight per cent of the labor is performed by machinery, thus giving a degree of cleanliness, and uniformity that is hard to surpass. Their three !arge Peterson ovens permit a ca pacity of 15,000 loaves per day of 24 hours. A fleet of five auto deliveries pro vide for the rapid distribution of the goods, thus enabling the consumer to have their bread fresh from the ovens each day. L" There are eighteen people on the pay roll at present; during t lie summer, anu hoppicking almost as many more are required to handle the extra business, the wages distributed by this firm dur ing the past year, averaged over $1700 per month, or 19 per cent of their gross business. Meet All War Requirements. The war has provided numerous hard ships for the baking industry, but they have been cheerfully met, as the bakers considered it part of their patriotic duty; not tho least of these rough spots was the recent action of the Food Ad ministration, in requesting cheaper bread for the consumer, this reduction in price haB been taken care of and Sa lem people are now enjoying Holsum Bread lc per loaf cheaper. This step was taken by tho Food Administration to induce the public to buy bakers bread, in preference to the home bak ing, thus eliminating one considerable souri'.e of waste, as it is well known that from one to three ounces of dough are wasted at each baking, no matter how saving the housewife may be in her methods. All things considered, this firm is entitled to the undivided support of ev ery man and woman in Salem, as in creased business means a larger payroll, something that this city needs, and fu ture investors will be guided by the treatment accorded to those institu tions on the ground. in ton hours. It is equipped with all modern labor saving devices and sup plied with dry kilns, planing mill, sash and (Joor factory, and in fact with all things that go to make up a first class modern mill plant. The mill secures its logs from Black Bock over the Sa lem, Falls City & Western railway, its supply coming from the vast timber belt of the coast range and from its body of timber at Newberg. Its loca tion on the Willamette also makes the timber along that stream available, but so far it is seldom drawn on. The ex tension of the railroad from Black Eock will open a belt of timber that the pres ent mill facilities could not cut up in a century. The company employs 160 to 175 men in its mill and about the same number in its logging camps. It also owns a mill at Newberg with about the same capacity as its Salem plant. It makes a specialty of manu facturing the Indiana silO' which lias provided a veritable boon especially to such farmers are engaged in dairying. They run from 20 to 350 tons capacity and" sell fro from-$100 to $400 Silverton is tho leading sawmill town of the county with two mills and a sash and door factory. There is a vast timber belt tributary to It, in fact the whole west slope of the Cascade mount ains for a distance of ten or twelve miles north and south along the range, a body of timber practically inexhausti ble under present conditions for it would take so long to cut it off that another crop would be grown by the time this was done. The outlook for tlie lumber industry was never so good. With au unlimited demand for timber for ships, all the mills in the fir belt are assured work up to plant capacity indefinitely, and in the spruce belt the demand for airship timber is such that it cannot be filled with present labor supplies. Outside of these there is a tremendous demand for lumber, that cannot be filled simply be cause of lack of transportatiou facili ties. The completion of many ships early in the year will give some of the surplus left from cutting ship timbers a chance to reach the eastern markets, for they will not be allowed to make the trip through the canal empty. Not only is the present demand all that could bo desired but the promise for the future is bright. It will require some years of really frantic ship building to give the world sufficient ships again, and the re building of Europe will create a demand for immense quantities of lumber onca the war is ended. .Oregon haB been slow to feel the wave of prosperity caused by the war. but indications are that sho will feel the effects much longer after it than most of her sister states. Oregon timber has at last come by its own and will cause a steady stream of wealth to flow into the state indefinitely. . .
