| The first that We can find NY account OF, w~ at
Jcffrcys Scotland by John y rtin, abont lSil-2;
aud the fins. in this country ct Raiers Paper-nil
~ Patterson, New-Jersey, in 1873. to boil cotton
waste and rope. Another Was shortly after started
It tie "RaiLbow MIL" in Connecticut, and two
mo-e If the Pcquonnock Mill, perhaps in 1924,
and The next year at DeuicksoRs NH, in New
jersey, ard in 1873 at Fort Edward. None Of
theso were intended to boil straw 1T the pressure
that have indicated necessary 10 produce fn!-
rate white paper, because that secret had not y.t
been discovered.
Nj. Butler believed in The advantage OF Iii q Press
ure and eI 70 get hisnsn 10 work up to 90 lbs, aud
went himself and stood By the boiler while il was
heated 10 that point TO show them that there Was
10 danger. It was found that high pressure
"kil,cd' the seeds in the cotton waste and tho
shives in the hemp bagging and ropc. which if not
killed, appeared in black specls in the paper. This
is also the with straw, as mar be seen in paper
made from stock that was not vel boilcd. T. such
plrer little pieces Of straw ere found perfect in
texture rs though never manipulated by The paper
makos. Tie progress that has been made in straw
paper manufacture, since the i'sue Of the Coupler &
Aleliier patent in May 1867, s indeed wonderful,
whsn VIC consider the great expense necessary TO
1t Up o. change a rag mill into a straw mill.
TIE French patent VAS assigned 70 Gee s. b.
chsnan, fhcrtiy after IL issue. snd BE-, in company
with Gardner Rowland, Of tho Fori Edwsrd H.il,
began experimenting, ard coon Obtained patent
for the great improvements urdcr which wiiie straw
paper is now successfully manufactured in this
country. One Of the most succcssful manufacturers
~ such straw paper-one who wac early % soe tbs
advantages Of the improvements made b. Buehar-
On. and who had emnla capital TO carry on; these
Improvements, is L. c. Woodruff proprietor Of the
Niagara Mil. who, with his partner, Mr.. pettibonc,
Ole Of tho most i7isfatirable men in tho paper bus
iaess, set about making the necessary alterations,
about two years ago, with viii that never fail' 70
produce sac .ess wherever success IL atLa.n.Ic by
human Efforts.
The success Of lhc nsHuiacluro Of While paper Of

not yet tended 20 make cheap paper. The reason Is
easily shown. "The chemicals are imported and
