Red River Has 45 Million Feet of Logs Declced at Mill for Winter Operations

With ten sides logging an average of one million six hundred thousand feet daily The Red River Lumber Company goes into December with more than 45 million feet of logs decked at the mill. This is the customary procedure at Westwood to assure mill and plant operation during the winter period of heavy snow. At favorable periods log deliveries have exceeded two million feet daily for two or three days in succession. Logging rvill be continued as long as weather permits. Two railroad spurs can be operated after the rains and snows have tied up the truck haul.

Three sides are trucking from Dyer Mountain, four sides from Moonlight Canyon and one from Almanor Dam. Trvo sides are railroading from Eagle Lake. The railroad to Moonlight is held in reserve.

The saw mill continues with three shifts on four bands and trvo resaws. The Plywood factory is carrying its cttstomary three shi{ts with a total of 50O employees. The Venetian blind slat department also runs three shifts on four moulders. The shipping department and moulding are each u'orking two shifts. The seasonal lull in box shook has reduced the box factory to one shift.

Dry kiln output has been stepped up to 7@ thousand feet daily from a holding capacity-of four million feet without reduction of drying and conditioning standards. Fuel is now on hand to carry full steam load for dry kilns, all plant departments and town service all winter.

October shipments were 575 cars. November, with fewer working days will fall below this total with the same daily average. Truck shipments in October totaled 800 thousand feet. A new truck loading shed is nearing completion. The first unit accommodates six trucks and extensions will be added as needed.

The Red River Lumber Company was compelled to r,'i'ithdraw from the market. With production and shipping stepped up the order file is approaching normal. The number of items that can be sold is increasing and orders are being accepted for available stock.
