Marshall-Wells Store OTIS MARSHALL, Owner 326 Mam St Springfield, Ore. number of large mills report that after they have paid for falling, bucking, trucking and milling a log it is good business to utilize every scrap possible to get their costs out of it, to meet competi tion, to provide more Jobs, to make a profit and to conserve the vital raw material. The very small mills cannot af ford to do this unless they can obtain enough timber to justify the necessary investment. Better Use This latter situation has been pointed out by Otto Krueger of the O and C administration here. Both the O and C and the U.S. Forest Service, as well as the var ious lumber associations, are pro moting better utilization of timber as a vital necessity to assure a future supply of timber on which this area depends largely for its prosperity. Krueger doubts if price is caus ing peckerwood shutdowns as much as difficulty in obtaining timber. Larger outfits, with lands intermingled with O and C lands, have roads, often partly on their own land, or can afford to build them so they can log O and C timber, because they are assured of supply to justify the expense, but this is seldom If ever true for the very small operator George Owen, president of the Western Assn. of Loggers and Lumbermen, who is Just complet ing a new mill here, believes the small mill could continue to op erate even at $30 a thousand if it were operated efficiently with an output of at least 2500 feet per man per day. But he, too, pointed to the difficulty of obtaining tim ber. And he believes the fact that the peckerwoods have no facili ties to go out after orders is a prime factor in their present dif ficulty. Shearer, who is waiting for a "break," hopes, to start his Ve neta mill again, but in the main he has things figured out much as outlined above. He can't afford s planer and he has no means of going out after the business, he says, but he thinks it a group of the small mills went together they might finance necessary equip ment and do something of this sort Aoforsf Hitches Car To Shmy New 'Post' FOREST GROVE (U.BPollce here reported that the owner of an ancient auto was trying to park his car next to the curb on a steep hill here but the brakes wouldn't hold.
