Between 1914 and the late 1960s, the Champion Fibre Company published an internal newsletter, called The Log, to share news about the Canton mill, the community, and its employees. After 1940, news from the entire “Champion Family,” which included mills in Hamilton, Ohio; Houston, Texas and Sandersville, Georgia, was featured in each issue.

Hoey, ]'r. ealtolina Installation of a new, high head, 2,500 GPM feed­water pump driven by a 1,250-horsepower electric motor has occupied the time of the Repair Gang. This one pump by itself will supply feedwater to Big Bill, Peter G., and the Riley oal burning boiler, to four high-pressure smelter units, and to the new bark burning boiler in process of being built. . It is not much wonder that it requires· the largest motor in the mill to pull it. There are two turbine driven an.cl two elec tric motor driven feedwatcr pumps that it replaces .,which wi_ll constitu te stand-by units in case this big pump ceases operating or has ro be repaired. A special valve is being installed in the steam line to the two turbine driven pumps that will• automatically start them in ca e the new pump "kicks off'' since th boilers can go just a very few mim1tes without ''burning down·· if the waxer supply fails. More Boilers- More Steam .- More boilers to meet the increa ing steam load made necessary the installation of this ne,,v pump which should solve the feeclwater pumping problem for several_ years. Quite a bit of rather involved pipin?; had w be put in to make this pump fmtction proper1 and most of r.his was done by Grady Rogers and Z. J. Reece. Grady sa s it took a lot of snuff to get some of the piping in - that they got to buying it by the qu~rt ~m some ?£ the r~al "tight" jobs. H e says he i gomg to take tt up W'tth the Mill Council and ee if they can ' t get the company to furnish the snuff for him and R eec -that it' bad enou gh to t t e the stuff, much less to have to buy it, too.
