What's up cody! I'm currently working at the West Linn paper mill and Yes it's true about the voices odd sounds and shadows.. Some of our coworkers have ever been grabbed, pulled and pushed with nobody around..
I was raised in Oregon City, worked every department of paper mill your looking at, from grinders making pulp for paper, throughout paper making machines.
That's a unique collection of structures amid the falls & river. What an undertaking that construction must have been. Any truth to the tales research yielded?
@@JMP_Productions wood logs rafted together for 6 yrs. Then than soaked wood floats in saw mill. Cut in into blocks. That cut wood is dumped down shoot to grinders, under water. Only thing stopping river from flooding is one wall of black mold from yrs of water trying to break in. Red lights flash an big metal gates lowered so wood can be dumped from sawmill above. Then gates are opened an a pikeman throws a long pick pole into wood jams, bring down wood so It doesn't crush workers stacking wood onto steel, heavy wheels carts (stackers). Then full steel carts are pushed to grindermen that stack wood into hot pulp. Grinders are in rows, so one grinderman has to keep grinder in front of him full an grinders behind him full. Next grinderman is behind him with his set of two grinders forward an behind him, to keep full. No light, like a dungeon. Hot pulp is running through grated rows under your feet at 160°. So dark an unbelievable hot! No breaks, no lunch, just 8 hrs of hard Labor. Then every 2 weeks you have to change time shifts so your body never catches up to sleep. 2 weeks on days. Then mid-shift to midnight. Then midnight to 8:00am. The travel through high up metal narrow ramps, climbing down vertical ladders was death defining just to get down to grinders room. It was pure hell, an employees called it hell hole. There were old guys working 40yrs in grinders. They would work a double shift just to get a food coupon for dinner at Arts Cafe. These were real men! Today's wimps for men couldn't even climb down to grinders let alone slave for 8 hrs 1 day my dad shows up with our neighbor that got me this job to watch grinder stacker competion. I won, with dad yelling for me for 8 hrs stacking 44 carts of wood. With record at 39. So, that next week I was transferred to paper machines an moved from hell! Then they moved me from one to next till I knew all machines. Then I worked in headers. Huge roll of paper comes off machine an rolled out room onto a small 4- wheeled cart. I rolled this paper roll onto cart by balancing roll onto my knee. Then onto cart. Each roll weighted ton. I could have been drowned in grinders an crushed mult times a day in header room. Mom an dad's friends got me a job while in HS at hamburger stand. Dad saw me put on 3lbs an walked me to neighbor sending me to hell. I lost that 3lbs. My first day of college cafeteria talking stopped when I walked in! I was asked on blind date. Why me? Your the best thing this college has to offer! Hell made me that way! When organized, EPA called grinder room, "Pure hell, inhumane to mankind!" EPA roped off ladder, never let anyone down there again to work!
Yeah sorry about that I had not heard the word prior and I have learned the correct pronunciation of it since and have spoken it in future videos I appreciate you watching.

If you cannot pronounce Willamette, don't bother to speak.

I was born in Eugene and no one today pronounces Willamette correctly
