recent April meeting.
While eeneral assistance ex
penditures are much smaller
each month than the old age as
sistance caseload, this is one de
partment which has been under
fire by county commissioners,
who believe that because a por
tion of the money goes tor aid
to persons who are not residents
of this county, general assistance

Southern Oregon
Mills Subject of
Lumberman Story
Forest products manufacture
in southern urenon in ecnerai
and at three mills in particular,
including Fir Milling and Plan
ine company of Ashland, are the
subject of an article in the April
issue of "The Lumberman," pro
duction journal of forest prod
ucts industries.
The story is one of a scries
on the industry in this area and
is designated "hpotliglit on
Southern Oregon." Process of
stimulation in the 7,000 square
mile area here between the Cas
cade mountains and the Coast
range is brought out.
New Plants
Increased industry, it Is stat
ed, is "mainly in the form of
new plants for further process
ing lumber beyond the rough
green stage," which "will result
in additional manufacturing in
the area with the increase in
man hours predominating in
further refining . . . rather than
tipping the total amount ot
boards.
Among factors contributing to
establishment of reinaniifactur-
inn business is freicht rate ad
vantage for shipment to Califor
nia and Texas over rates avail
able to northern Oregon and
southern Washington. Other fac
tors are available to northern
Oregon and southern Washing
ton. Other factors are available
manpower from immigration to
the area, development of im
proved machinery, and price ad
vantages from finished products.
Fir Mill and Planing com
pany's almost ycar-around oper
ation resulting from storage
decks is told in the article. The
mill's equipment is outlined. Pic
tures of the Ashland firm's oper
ations accompnny the ajticle.
