Completes Successful Season

Owing to the continued storms, the earliest and heaviest snow in thirty years, the Placerville Lumber Company, Placerville, Calif., was forced to shut down its logging and sawmill operations last rveek, having completed one of the most successful seasons of all times, cutting 54,156,153 feet of lumber for our armed forces, ac,cording to Manager Harry West.

The Fresh Pond mill cut 35,767,606 feet, the Tahoe Valley mill 9,738,560 feet and the Sly Park mill 8,649,987 feet. A crew of men is falling government timber nearby, and, after minor repairs to the sawmills, sawing will start at Fresh Pond as soon as weather permits. A large inventory of lumber is piled in the yards so that shipments can continue during the winter months from Placerville where both the planing mill and moulding plant are running two shifts six days a week. To speed up operation here a new sorting or grading chain, 160-feet long with take-off for either trucks or carriers has been built, having electric flood lights so it can be used night and day.

Mr. West says that the men of the company feel that this year's record cut should be dedicated to the men who have lost their lives in the armed services.
