Struggling mills buy
logs long-distance
massm
PR1NEVILLE (AP) — Sawmills in the eastern
and central portions of Oregon art1 hauling logs
from as far away ns Idaho and California
because of cutbacks in timber sales on nearby
national forests
□choco Lumber Co in Prineville recently
purchased private and public timlwr from California, i n« togs were
shipped by rail to Kugene, then (tucked over the Cascades to
Prinevilte.
Malheur Lumber Co., an Ochoco subsidiary based in John Day.
pun based 22 million board feet of pine and hr in a Boise National
Forest fire salvage sale in Idaho.
Snow Mountain Pine of Mines also purchased 15 million board
feet of fire salvage limber from the Boise forest, where fire burned
across 200.000 acres last summer
Although mills have attempted to buy timber from distant areas in
the past, their recent efforts have been much more aggressive.
'They 've lieen bidding over here for quite some time." said Darla
Arana, a timlier resource assistant for the Boise National forest. But
they were very, very competitive tins time."
Timber shortages have fueled the mills' efforts
" The reality is we have not offered a whole lot of timlier in the past
three years." said Andy Coray. assistant tuniter staff officer on cen
tral Oregon's Des< hutes National Forest
During the third quarter of 1090. 204 million board feet of saw tim
ber was sold on the Deschutes forest. Two years later, the amount
had dropped to 99 million board feet, said Shawn Church, assistant
editor of Random lengths, n KugBne-based timber industry research
publication
The Deschutes is only a microcosm of all national forests in Ore
gon, Church said "The shortage of volume-under-contract has
fort ed mills to go farther distances for timber."
SkyriH keting lumber prices also have led to the decision to try
harder for long-distance logs Higher costs of transporting the timber
are worth the effort be< ause of the price the lumber w ill bring.
The supply on Knstern Oregon national forests dried up com
pletely last week when the Forest Service temporarily halted all sales
while trying to work out an agreement with environmental groups
over the protec tion of old-growth forests.
The competition lor timber remains Fierce.
"It's already a bidding war.” said John Sheik, managing general
partner ol IX hoco Lumber "It's not like it's been peaceful."
