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.
