MoSoFoLIzNo srRAw.-Ihe straw paper
mill near Lebanon, which IL about com.
pleted, has seemingly outtlankcd the
straw mill here by contracting for three
years for all the available straw in that
region. In the spring tina Crown mill
had 10 run on woodpulp, because the
straw was all gone, predicament In
which the Lebanon mill does not intend
10 be caught. The Crown mill II now
turning out quantities Of MANILA paper,
Of which Il las large stock ready for
tho market. The difficulty under which
any straw mill labora Ia that there Is a
straw mill trust which controls both
prices and output. The combine Is
powerful and TO fight II would not be
safe. Every ptraw mill, therefore, manu-.
iacturcs only 20 much In such a time,
and next does something else.--Orcgon
