Baxter Camp Start«
Hsl Baxter expects to begin next
week hauling logs from his camp
north of Coquille. The buckers and
fallers hhve been working since the
first of the month and another crew
has been gravelling the road along
the east side of the Masonic cemetery
and back past the coal mine in pre­
paration for the trucks to begin haul­
ing. The camp is about 2500 feet
north of the highway at the cemetery
and there is 15 to 18 million feet of
red ffir that he will log out, possibly
by next winter, but probably he will
not finish before next year.
About 20 men are employed at
present, and that will bo the six« of
the camp, unless a little faster pro­
duction is desired by the Sitka'Spruce
Pulp A Paper Co. at Empire, who will
buy the logs. Twenty-five or thirty
men will bo the maximum.
The logs will be brought out by
two, or three, trucks, hauled to Del­
mar and dumped into Isthmus Inlet,
and from there rafted down the bay.
