Mt. Shasta - Trucks may
come and trucks may go but
logging trucks go on forever
in Mt. Shasta, Calif.
According to a reliable
source, a logging truck goes
cither loaded or empty down
or up the main street on an
average of one every three
minutes. That's 240 trips in a
12-hour period. There are ap
proximately 60 trucks on the
road in this immediate vicin
ity each averaging two trips
to the woods and back each
day, and hauling to different
mills.
The usual haul for Kimberly-Clark
Corp., Mt. Shasta
mill is about 20 miles one way
and the average load is 5.000
board feet for cedar and 6,000
for Douglas fir. They come
from the north and south, the
east and the west, but they all
pass through Mt. Shasta. Oth
er haulers come from Weed,
Yrcka, Redding, Burney,
Dunsmuir, Etna, Montague,
Klamath Falls, Medford, Ash
land, and Grants Pass.
Plans Cold Deck
Ernie Swift, general mana
ger of Kimberly-Clark Corp.,
Mt. Shasta mill, said the com
pany usually plans to have 3.3
million board feet in the cold
decks with about 8 million
board feet stored for winter
milling. They cut about 2 5
million board feet a month. It
is planned to run two shifts
in the mill this winter with
around 85 men employed.
Floyd W. Porteous is the
main logging contractor for
Kimberly-Clark in Mt. Shasta,
having nine trucks of his own
on the road. Porteous does all
his own logging from laying
out roads and felling the tim
ber to hauling and dumping
at the mill pond.
The finished lumber
shipped all over the United
States. Three million board
feet a month is shipped out of
Mt. Shasta mill and as much
is shipped by truck as by rail.
There are several coast rigs
hauling t o southern Cali
fornia. Used for Pencil Stock
Cedar milled is used for
pencil stock and core stock
for low cost doors. Other lum
ber from this area is used for
dors, framing, sheeting and
finished lumber, for the many
frame and wooden buildings
and homes being built all over
the U. S.
Those in the "know" say
Mt. Shasta is a thriving log
ging town. The economy is
good even though snows shut
down the logging during the
winter. A trip around town
over a week end shows an as
tonishing number of logging
trucks parked in yards, drive-
