Stud mill closure affects few The closure of the stud mill at W SFPI did not cause any j o b s h o r ta g e s f o r th e employees who worked there. All personnel were transferred into the veneer plant and the lumber mill. The shut down of the stud mill caused a surplus of small logs for W SFPI to dispose of. Three different companies became involved to ease the tension in that area. The Coffel B ro th ers of W ilsonville, Oregon purchased all the white fir and the Pine Ridge Forest Products of Klamath Falls and th e K l a m a t h T r a d i n g Company of Portland took the douglas fir logs. The K lam ath T ra d in g Company set up a portable chipping plant here in the W SFPI log stock yard, and the Pine Ridge Forest Products are taking the logs, chipping some and exporting some.
