Lumbermen Hear Ceiling Explained
Some confusion over log ceil
y lng prices was at least partially
- cleared lor some 200 loeeers and
" lumbermen at a meeting spon-
i sored by the Western Forest In-
dustries Association at the Os-
: burn Hotel Saturday.
Merton T. Owre, a business an.
alyst for the Office of Price Sta.
. bilization lumber division in Port
land, explained ceiling price reg.
ulations and answered questions
in a three-hour session that closed
with several loggers wondering
how many rules they had vio-
; lated.
The log ceiling prices went into
effect in November, superseding
those in effect during the gen
eral price freeze under which
lumbermen had been working.
Although nine kinds of logs are
covered by the law, Douglas fir
logs were of main interest here.
For purposes of ceiling prices,
five areas were formed, each with
different price ceilings dependent
on previous prices.
The two areas nearest Eugene
are the Lane-Douglas District and
the Oregon-California District.
Boundaries Explained
Lane-Douglas includes Lane and
Douglas Counties east of the crest
of the Coast range, with the south
ern boundary a line drawn from
Rice Hill near Cottage Grove to
the crest of the Coast range. (The
crest line roughly passes near
Horton, Noti, Vaughn, swings east
near Panther and Hadleyville,
then to Lorane, west to the Elk
Creek Ranger Station, and to the
southern border.)
The Oregon-California District
covers the remainder of Lane and
Douglas Counties, the rest of
southwest Oregon, and some of
California.
The ceilings range from $100
per thousand board feet . on
Douglas fir peeler No. 1 logs to
$.17.50 on sawmill No. 3 Douglas
fir, in the Lane-Douglas District.
In the Oregon-California District,
the prices are $10 less on peeler
logs, and $2.50 less on sawmill
logs.
Although a price on "camp run"
logsi (those harvested under an
agreement to take all cut in an
area regardless or grade) was set
in the Oregon-California District,
no ceiling was placed on these
logs in the Lane-Douglas area.
None on Second Growth
So, Owre told the loggers to
sell or buy at the lowest ceiling
price established for mature
Douglas fir logs in this area. This
price, for sawmill No. 3 logs, was
$37.50 a thousand.
Another problem that arose
concerned second growth Douglas
fir. No price was established for
this category either, so Owre told
the group that the general price
freeze still applies here. In other
words, the highest price that a
logger got for one of these logs
during the base periods estab
lished in December, 1950, and
ending Jan. 25, 1951, would be
his maximum selling figure.
Owre admitted that this could
be unfair, since one logger may
have received a higher price than I
his neighbor because of good bar
gaining. In the Lane-Douglas area, a log
is considered "delivered," insofar
as price ceilings are concerned,
when it is actually received by
the buyer at one of three loca
tions: Towable waters, the buyer's
mill, or a common carrier ship
ping point agreed upon.
If delivered elsewhere, a reduc
tion in the ceiling price is neces
sary, Owre said, to compensate
for the lesser services performed.
In other words, if the log stops
ten miles short of the mill, the
ceiling is reduced by the Cost of
the ten mile haul.
Rules Set Forth
If the log is not graded and
scaled, the ceiling is reduced by
the Cost nf thpsp ROrvir-nc. Tf lnffc
are sold at ceiling prices, the
seller must pay at least half of
the ffradine and srnlinrf pnete. Th
buyer may pay half.
Anyone satisfactory to the
buyer and seller may grade logs,
but grading bureau rules must be
followed.
A grading statement or certi
ficate must be attached to every
invoice.
An accredited scaler must be
independent and not an employe
of either buyer or seller.
Export logs take the price of
the district in which they are pro
duced. Domestic logs take the
price of the district in which they
are sold.
If a log does not fit the price
table because of something spe
cial about it, a special price may
be applied for with the director
of price stabilization in Washing
ton, D. C.
Prices do not have to be filed
with the OPS, but adequate
records must be kept, Owre said
Violators are subject to triple
damages in a civil suit, or two
years in the penitentiary and a
$10,000 fine on criminal charges.
