HEAVY SHIPMENTS OF I.OGS DAILY REACHING KLAMATH FALLS MILLS

One hundred and sixty cars of logs per day are being moved over the Southern Pacific every day to the mills of Klamath County. One hundred and twenty of these cars are shipped from Kirkford from the camps of Pelican Bay, Modoc, Algoma, Shaw-Bertram and Lamm Lumber companies. Ewauna Box and Wheeler Olmstead bring the total up to an average of 160 cars each day, the Ewauna camp being at Lumberton, between Kirkford and Chiloquin on the main line, and Wheeler-Olmstead's spur joining the main line above Chiloquin. Allowing a little better than 10,000 to a car, this would bring the log cut of these companies to about 1,750,000 feet per day.

The estimate does not include the Chiloouin Lumber Company, which uses its own railroad line to the mill at Chiloquin, the Big Lakes logs from the Loe camp, Douglas Puckett's camp on the west side of upper lake, the McCullom mill below Keno, Kitt's mill, the Shasta View I-umber and Box Company, the Long Pine Lumber Company, the Crystal Lumber Company and several others throughout the county.

It is safe to say that the lumber and logging companies of Klamath county are felling and shipping tihber it the rate of 2,000,000 feet per day.

PARKS GETS OFF'ER FOR HIS GOAT

Who said that it doesn't pay to advertise.

The May first issue of this Journal carried a short item, about a letter received by the Kerckhofi Cuzner Lumber Company, Los Angeles, from a customer at Acton, offering a good goat in payment of a past due account.

The letter was poorly worded, badly spelled and at the same time contained a large amount of real interest, manifesting the honest intentions of an unfortunate rancher, without cash funds, but willing to part with a large share of his worldly goods, the goat, to keep his standing.

Mr. H. E. Park, of the Kerckhoff Cazner Lumber Company, is now in receipt of the following letter, from San Gabriel, offering a deal.

San Gabriel, 5-IO-1925. Mr H'E Parks, Dear Sir-

"Let's Know Some Trees"

Charles H. Shinn, veteran newspaper man and conservationist, did many unselfish acts of public service during his long years of work in the United States Forest Service. But there is none which rvil1 more enclear him to the people of California, and help to keep alive the memory of his valiant fight for the preservation of our forest and mountain wonderlands, than his last public efiort, the preparation of a little booklet telling in simple language the story of California's trees.

"Let's Know Some Trees" was written by Mr. Shinn at the suggestion of the editor of one of the larger country papers of California. It contains simple descriptions of 70 California tree species, set forth in language that even children can understand. Thirteen illustrations add to the interest of the booklet which has been published by the U. S. Department of Agriculture as Miscellaneous Circular No.31.
