TURNING A FOREST INTO PAPER.
If it be true, as is stated in one of our exchanges, that a paper manufacturing firm proposes ‘converting twenty thousand acres of timber it? Somerset ‘county, Pennsylvania, into paper, these manufacturers are likely to prove strong competitors of railroads in the destruction of our forests. The statement is that a large gang of workmen has been sent to the tract to begin improvements. There will be erected a shanty fifty feet in length, twelve feet in width, and eight feet high. The shanty once completed, work will be began on a large store building, thirty dwelling houses, and an enormous digester for the cooking and steaming of wood in the manufacture of pulp, and a huge building to be used in the manufacture of paper sacks, and wrapping paper. All these preparaare preliminary to reducing twenty thousand acres of forest to news, book, and fine writing papers.—“ San Francisco Post.”
