Floated to the mill, tne sticks" go up the loe haul one at a time, carried by chains on the slip. The workman here has far more exalted position than the "pond monkey" of yestcr- vear. He operates a system oi controls with the skill befitting the pilot of a Jet airplane. He activates the chain to bring the log to position where it can be sawed into a desired length. By pressing a button or pulling lever, he drops a chain saw down, and In a few seconds it has the log bucked cleanly In two. Barker Denude Log Proceeding on at his automat ed direction, the log goes throuch a barker, one of the re cent additions at the mill. This is compose of three tremen dous rollers with a profusion of steel knurls protruding from concave surfaces. The rollers are set in triangular position around the log, and when it is forced through them, it comes out as naked as a young lad taking summer dip in his secluded swimmin' hole. Marshall, dry kiln foreman at the plant, told the visitors that the mill cuts from 50M to 55M board feet per shift, thus 100M to 110M feet per day. Mrs. Bill (Nona) Sowell. of fice manager at the Heppner plant who made arrangements for the tour, says that payroll for the some 60 men employed runs approximately $-450,000 per year. This, of course, is exclus ive of those employed In log ging operations, handled by Crisp, who came here from John Day.

All production of the local mill Is lumber, but the plant at Kiruua also maruitactures null work. On the day the Chamber Merit through here, the cut was ail pine, but a good iercentaj;e of fir is also sawn at the mill. Businessmen have long heard and realized that the Kinua plant here is beautifully orga nized. After their tour Monday. they know for a certainty that this Is true. In its setting between rolling hills of wheat and range lands. with not a standing conifer in sight, the Kinua mill here is as unlikely as the hill billy's thought on first seeing a gir affe. There ain't no such animal!" But there ar substantial saw mills in Heppner, and residents of the community are happy that they are here, as well as grateful to their neighbors who rrovlde the skill work force to keep the plants going.

This would be supplementary to any multlpuriK?te protects on the forks of the John Day Klver. '.Much of the damage In tho winter floods was done on these tributaries," Young said. Young said that the Enelneer has some tentative proposal for d.unsltes on part of the John Pay. The hearing were set to de termine public Interest In the river basin development. At the present time there Is virtually no development on the John Day Klver system.
