Fact No. 10

About Our Logging

Nowhere in the lumber indurtry are the problemr Eo great ac thoce faced by the loggeru in the big timber of the Pacific Coast. Some of the timber in our holdings are giants, like the one shown

Fact No. I I

in this picture. One log, a Sitka Spruce, rth of Yaquina Bay, war delivered at the mill recently which war felled in our holdingr to the north Bay, feetin length, 8 feet 6 inches in diameter at the butt, and 52 inches in diameter at the top end. was "bucked" into six logr, two 32 feet longand four 24 feet long. A tape on one of the 32-foot lengtha, cut from the center of the tree, revealed but an inch difference between the top and butt ends of the log. And there are larger ones still uncut.

To get thic timber to the mill requires the strongest logging equipment, logging roads which are almost standard in construction, tow boats and ocean-going tuga. In order to keep the mill adequately supplied with logr, we operate camps equipped with the strongest machinery, under the charge of men who were loggers on the Pacific Coaet when the bull team was the only rneana of logging, men who grew up with the timber,men who "get the logs" fl'om which the product of our plant is manufactured.

Men who sell lumber should make it their business, at some time or other, to visit the logging operations of some big Pacific Coast mill, such as that of the Pacific Spruce Corporation at Toledo. There they would learn what it meanE to produce lurnber in the West, a knowledge that would mean dollars and centa'in their businesc.
