Irgens did not like this fellow; he did not care to cultivate his friendship in order to get an item published in the paper now and then. Paulsberg had now two days running had a paragraph concerning his excursion to Honefos: the first day about his going, the second about his return; Gregersen had in his usual accommodating manner concocted two very excellent little items about this excursion.
They are brimful of new intentions, new fashions. They are fragrant with perfume in brief, there is nothing lacking. When they show up everybody else is mute: 'Silence! The poet speaks. The papers are able to inform their readers that Paulsberg is on a trip to Honefos. In a word " But this was too much for Gregersen. He himself had written the news notes about Paulsberg's trip to Honefos.
And, it must be confessed, all this has been brought about by an Englishman, for here at Hönefos is made the paper upon which is printed Lloyd's Weekly and the Daily Chronicle. Neither is the fact concealed, but rather boasted of in large letters on the outside of the barn.
But it is not only timber in a raw state that does so much for the prosperity of Norway, for a great trade is done also in matches as well as in wood-pulp. The latter is a comparatively modern industry, and its development has been rapid. Anyone who visits Christiania and has the opportunity of taking the little town of Hönefos in his travels, should not fail to pay a visit to the pulping works.
It is said that in Chicago one may see a herd of swine driven in at the front gate of a factory and brought out at another gate in the form of sausages. At Hönefos trees go into the works and come out as paper, or very nearly so.
