MADSEN ' Farm Editor, The Statesman : LumbenniUs r in "the Willam ette Valley have begun to cold deck logs to tide over the fire season, F. H. Dahl, Corvallis, re ported Tuesday as he said that we no sooner get out of the rainy season until we drop Into the dry season," "There just isnt any in-betweens," he commented. : But good logging weather is now allowing more loggers in the woods, and log supplies have i picked S up considerably permit Jting the cold decking of logs. ' Jlills opened up a-booming this week following the quiet of last week as many mills were shut down for vacation r Bange from $36-$43 Second-growth Number : 2 Douglas fir , sawlogs at valley mills ranged from $36 , to $43 a thousand,- mostly $38 to $40, during the first two days this week, Dahl said. He reported No. 3s were from $30 to $3& Camp run logs over 24 feet were $35 to $35 while eight-foot logs rang ed from $5 to $17 a cord, or $30 to $36.50 a thousand. Old-growth sawlogs have been running from $40 to $50 a thou sand for No. 2's this week and $35 to $40 for No. 3's. Peeler logs sold within a $20 range up to -top prices of $80, $100, and $110 in the northern end of the valley, and $75, $85 and up to $100 in Lane County. -Bosebnrg Price In the Roseburg area camp . run prices ranged from $36 to $42 for long logs and $34 to $38 for shorter logs. Peelers ran from $60, $70 and up to $85 a thousand. Demand for poles and piling has been uneven in recent days in the Willamette Valley. Most yards did take long poles. Fifty five foot peeled poles ranged from 25 to 34 cents a lineal foot, depending on diameter. One yard at Roseburg paid 28 cents a foot for 55 to 72 foot piling. Demand wasn't too brisk for unpeeled hemlock, spruce or true firs, offers being at $15 to $17 a cord.' Unpeeled Douglas fir was $15. Albany Mill Pays $34 Alder, ash and maple at Port land were $34 a thousand for logs over eleven inches in dia ' meter. Smaller logs brought $30. Lebanon paid Portland prices for alder and maple. One mill at Al bany paid $34 for alder and ma ple logs down to 10 inches. Sword ferns, one of the 'big forest products in the valley, dropped from 18 to 16 cents a bunch, last week and went down to 14 cents over the week-end, where it now stands. Dry cas ; car a bark was going at 20 cents a pound. Split and peeled cotton , wood for excelsior ' was $14 , a cord at Springfield. Dahl pointed out that aside from logs and poles, Willamette Valley has quite an interesting ' array of forest products which are in rather good demand Am ong these are the sword ferns, the cascara bark, the evergreen huckleberry. The farthest faint star which can be seen by the Palomar telescope is believed to be seen by light which has been traveling toward the earth for two billion years at the rate of about 186,000 miles a second. it's Time to SAVE Via Death Takes , Peter Tifucliot Of Falls City: ; .
