KlamatK Has Lot of
History in Short Time
Portland - Klamath Falls
has packed a lot of history
into the brief span of time
sine ."mountain man" Finan
McDonald, a trapper for Hud
son's Bay company, became
the first known white man to
explore the area in 1825.
So says .Forestry Digest, na
tional forest industry news
magazine, in a feature spread
on that community in its
July issue due out in the next
few days.
The city was founded as a
wagon train settlement named
Linkville in 1867 during an
era of Indian massacres and
stagecoach holdups. The first

Klamath basin has one of the
nation's richest timber re
sources.. The basin, further

basis under which harvest is
geared to growth.
Even so, says the article,

each tree cut and through
finding a use for lodgepole

once considered industrially
useless-the industry is ex
panding its base. The area's

in 1863 from the gold diggings
at Jacksonville. -Heralded
Start
The move, says the Digest,
heralded the beginning of the
important forest industry
which today accounts for 85
per cent of the county's man
ufacturing and processing ac
tivity. ' "We have one of the high
est per capita incomes-it was
$2,035 in 1957 as against the
U.S. average of $l,734-of any
city in the country," Frank
Tucker, Chamber of Com
merce manager, said. "The
forest industries and agricul
ture give us a stable, depend
able basis for our economy."

Clothing Theft
Reported in City
Some $676.70 worth of
clothing and other personal
property were taken Wednes
day night from an automobile
parked in the Jackson hotel
lot, on Front st. between
Ninth and Tenth sts., Med-
ford police reported.
Police said the . victim,
Adolph Joseph Verneris, 63,
en route from his former
home in Salem to a new resi
dence in San Leandro, Calif.,
had left the property in his
car overnight while he slept
at the hotel.
The thief or thieves had
broken the car's right front
wind wing in order to reach
in and unlock the door, ac
cording to the report. Police
surmised that a vehicle was
used to carry off the loot,
since so much was involved.

reported by Verneris, includ
ed suits, top coats, a pocket
watch, shirts, a portable tele
vision set, two suit cases, a
pen and pencil set and mis
cellaneous toilet articles. Ver

Lumber Price Index
Shows Sharp Drop
Portland - Crow's Lumber
Price Index showed a sharp
drop in the industry average
for the two week period end
ing June 25. Most of the drop
came in green Douglas fir di
mension, although weakness
was reported in some dry
items and in No. 2 and No.
3 pine boards.
Despite the drop, there has
been a firming tendency in
green standard and better
grade dimension in the past
few days, Crow's said.' Ran
dom length 2x4s have shown
more stability at the $73 to
$75 level. Utility grade was
still losing some ground, and
board items were also on the
weak side.
Weakness in the pine area
was most noticeable in No. 2
and No. 3 common boards of
several species, with Ponder-
osa pine and Engelmann
spruce losing themost ground.
Some lower prices have been
noted in dry dimension from
the pine area, but the drop
has not been as sharp as in
green coast fir.
