Big Shipment Of
Local Plant
To Be Built
For Assembly
The biggest shipment of hy
draulic self loaders for trucks ever
to be taken from a loader manu
acturing company in Duluth, Minn.,
has just arrived in Roseburg
. The significance of the shipment
is that it reflects demand for the
loading equipment is big enough
to call for a branch assembly
Plant of the loaders in the Rose
burg area.
This was the report bv Lvle
Buell of Roseburg, who has the
distributorship franchise for six
western states.
Tfte new hydraulic loaders, which
are swinging booms with hydraul
ic grapples which can be attached
to trucks for loading logs or prac
tically any other material, are
made by the Ramey Manufactur
ing and Engineering Corp. of Du
luth. Franchise Secured
Buell, at his truck garage in Wil
bur, secured the franchise for the
loaders last year. Since then, he
has been installing thein on logging
trucks. He estimates there are
about 12 in Douglas County. With
Hie five he just brought from Du
luth in the biggest shipment that
factory has ever filled at once, he
now has seven machines on hand
for installation on trucks.
Because of the considerable in
terest in the machines, Buell has
set up a corporation in Roseburg
which will be the base for the
branch factory at the Wilbur site.
He bought 7V4 acres from Bill Da
vidson, who remains with the or
ganization as master mechanic, to
allow room for the industry.
Buell estimates that in the near
future the factory here will do
about two-thirds of the construc
tion work on the loaders.
Fabrication Planned
He said the essential parts, such -as
swings, winches and control
valves will be sent from Duluth,
but steel will be bought here. The
actual fabrication will also take
place at Wilbur.
Stocks of parts for the loaders
are already available, and some
customizing work is also being
done.
This customizing includes adapt
ation of the loaders for a host of
uses, ranging from tree trimming
to ditch digging. The greatest use,
however, will probably be for log
loading.
Buell says he has received in
quiries about the machine from all
over the West Coast. He says he
hasn't been able to handle all his
customers.
Machine New
He credits the interest to the fact
the machine is new to the West.
He thinks the future demands will
be unlimited. For sales, Buell
hopes to set up three to four deal
ers in each of the six states for
which he has the franchises,
Buell presently employs five
men, but he expects to triple that
figure with the new factory.
He says he became interested in
the project some years ago while
watching a prototype of the pres
ent loader being used by Keller
Lumber Co. of Douglas County. He
decided to build one himself. He
constructed the rig to load pilings
and logs, with the use of tongs
instead of hydraulic grapples.
He could see the potential, so
his interest grew to Us present
stage.
Only One Needed
Since that time, the loader has
been perfected so only one man
is needed for the entire loading
operation. Before, it was neces
sary to have one man on the
ground to set the tongs and an
other on the truck to release them.
With the hydraulic grapple, the
setting and releasing can be han
dled from the truck control seat
on the loader. This means only
one man is necessary where three
were used before.
Buell thinks this will help the
srdall log truck operator by cutting
down on personnel needed for logging-He
reports he has not yet named
his new company, but he may use
the title Freeway Equipment Co.
hecause of his shop's proximity to
Interstate 5 at Wilbur.
Lockwood Motors
Work Progresses
Blacktopping and cementing of

building on SE Pine St. were com
pleted Wednesday in one of the
final steps toward finishing con
struction of the new building.
The structure itself is completed
and only minor finish work re
mains, until the company can
start moving in and setting up for
operation, according to Gordon
Smith, a partner with Fred Lock
wood in the business.
Plans are to occupy the new
building sometime around Aug. 10,
depending on how soon the move
can be completed. It will be done
piece-meal to avoid as much as
possible interference with opera
tion of business.
Forest Glen Hospital
Granted Registration
Forest Glen Hospital in Canyon
ville was granted registration by
the American Osteopathic Associa
tion at the annual meeting of the
Association held recently in Chica
go, according to ord received
here this week.
The trustees acted on the hospi
tal inspection report and the rec
ommendation of the AOA commit
tee on hospitals.
The AOA's annual hospital in

HYDRAULIC LOADERS ore everywhere at the Wilbur truck shop where five more arrived
this week from Duluth, Minn., where they ore manufactured. Lyle Buell, who operates the
shop says he is selling these, but he plans fo fabricate them at his shop in the near
future. Two of the loaders he already has in operation are shown unloading the five
which just arrived. The steel buckets are operated hydraulically from the control panel,
and the legs under the cab are used to stabilize the load as it is being lifted. (News

Sat., July 20, 1963 The
Business
- - By Leroy
Roseburg Plaza
Progress Said
On Schedule
Kicnara Harper, Portland, one
of the developers of the Roseburg
fiaza biiopping Center, was in
town Tuesday and expressed him-
selt as Highly satisfied with prog
ress of the project.
He stated that the work is com
ing along now according to sched
ule and an early fall completion
and occupation date is planned..
The central business district
shopping center, located on the site
of the blast-destroyed former Cen
tral Junior High School and along
SIC Jackson street where several
buildings were razed, will consist
of a now Pay Less Drug Store and
a new Safeway store. They will
have a joint parking area, and a
walkway across SE Rose St., will
connect the two properties.
Harper said that progress on the
building structure for the Safeway
store is a little further along than
that on the other building at this
stage, but interior installations for
the market will take longer than
for the Pay Less building, so they
will be finished about the same
date. Refrigeration installation for
Safeway will take quite a bit of
time.
Walls for the Pay Less store are
all up and roof beams set in place
this week. Work will start on the
roof structure next week.
Douglas County
Bank Blacktops
New Parking Area
Among improvements complet
ed within the city during the past
week is the blacktopping of a park
ing area on SE Rose St., which
recently was taken over by the
Douglas County State Bank.
The property, owned by Craig
Marstcrs, was the site of the build
ing which for many years housed
the Douglas Supply Co. The build
ing was razed to make way for the
parking lot to serve the bank's cus
tomers. Zig-zag style concrete retaining
walls were installed to mark the
parking spaces and provide an ef
fective design. The south wall rises
to a height of about four feet to the
level of the adjoining parking area
to the rear of the hank building.
Provisions for the parking lot are
a part of the overall improvement
of the bank's facilities, which in
cludes complete renovation and of
the hank building and enlargement
by taking over an adjoining build
ing. Work is continuing.
