Barrett and the Jute Mill in Eastern Oregon Politics
Eastern Oregon legislators push for a state jute mill at the Santiam penitentiary with Representative Charles A. Barrett of Athena leading the drive. Barrett argues the plant would self fund, lower prison costs, and stabilize jute bag prices while distributing supplies across the state, despite Governor Chamberlain’s current scepticism. The plan faces broad support from farmers, stockmen, and local legislators who see it as a regional economic boost.
