In 5 counties) f -5 Kinzua The Port of Umatilla may add a new dimension to its industrial base logging. Kinzua Corporation, Hep pner, requested Monday the use of the port's dock immedi ately above McNary Dam for the purpose of unloading barged logs from the Clarks ton, Wash. area. This would be the firm's first attempt at shipping logs by water. Milo Prindle, Kinzua spoke sman, said the logs would be unloaded at the port site and transported by truck to the Kinzua plant in Heppner. The firm hopes to receive about one million board feet per month at the Columbia River facility. As envisioned by Prindle, three barges per month would unload at the port facility. Each barge would carry about 350,000 board feet of lumber. Most of this would be in the form of small firs with an average length of 35 feet. Boardman... Continued from Page one phase of the project.
