\atulaf advanrages of soil, climate and altitude combine to make California White?ine trees the largest of the species, (Pinus ponderosa). Califomia Sugar pine, (Finus Lambertiina), is the largest ofall pines. Trees are found inthe california di.irict m_easuring z3ofeethigh and rz feetin diameter. From 3 to I logs, roJeet rn length,usually produce rooo board feet oflumber,while this amount is often obtained from even one or two logs.
, These big pine logs .yield a large percentage of upper grade lumler, an average yreld berng:

This per, mrts the re.worker to rip and cross,cut to the b;t advantise. Because rhe big Califor-nii pine trees have little tapei, ihet";b; s straight,grained; and th-e slow growth and long life of these species produce a fne, soft,unifor-m texture. Cuttings from this soft-textured, straight.grained lumber have the miriimum tend, ency to warp, cup or twist.

Uses Herd Of 795 Steers For Large Belting Order
Tanners and leather belt makers had to use the hides of 795 steers in making the leather belts required for the nerv Lone-Bell Lumber-Mill at Longvierv, Washington. Reduce? to units of l-inch single ply belting this order called for 94,436 feet or nearly twenty miles of belting.
The packer steer hides for this order were pur-chased from thi packers and then put through the lSrges-t !qlt!^tl belting tannery in the woild with a capacity of 300,000 hides yearly
Belting manufacturers ag-ree that lu.mber mills are Qxtremely -hard on belting' Only the highest quali-ty, best made ieather belts can stand up under the terrific wear and tear of the large heavy duty lumber machines'
For this reason -the hides used in building this belt equipment had to be selected from strong' h.e3lthy steers tiited during the summer months when the hide is in its best condition.
