Straight Grain Cedar Blocks for Hollywood Shakes Come Down the Chute By Jean Roberts MEHAMA—A little chute, sloping down a steep bank from amidst virgin timber, is the first step in the manufac ture of "Hollywood shakes”. To the uninitiated eye it re sembles any ordinary wood chute, but by closer observa tion one can note that it isn’t common wood coming down, but fine straight grain cedar blocks. High above the old Simpson mill at Lyons and in the un touched virgin timber of the Avery holdings this cedar is being salvaged from windfal len cedar which is five to sev en feet in diameter. In this uncut forest of fir and cedar, only the windfalls and dead snags are harvested for man ufacture into the well known “Hollywood shakes.” Since this is not a cutting and logging operation the pro duction of shake blocks Is done by hand. A small cat is used to yard the huge cedar logs and parts of logs to the top of the chute. At that point the contractors, which in this operation consist of two men Ray Roberts and Frank Crow ther, must saw the cedar into 30-lnch blocks. These blocks are then split via sledge and wedge into blocks that a man can lift and then push down the chute. In the process of splitting, each knot or resemblance of a knot is split out leaving only fine straight grain cedar. Any rotten spot is split out leaving only fine straight grain cedar. Any rotten spot is split out and discarded and in the course of salvaging old and dead material the pile of rejected blocks is sometimes bigger than the merchantable pile. Worm holes are also taboo, and If the contractors find a log filled with these, It must be discarded. To be sure they have had to yard in the log, saw it up, to ascertain the amount of damage, and if It Is not merchantable, they are not paid for their labor. After the good blocks reach the road, they are loaded on a truck and hauled to the H & H shake miii near Mill City, where they are sawed. This too is a hand operated process. Each shake block is held by a man and each shake sawed off on a slant to get the desired effect. The result is a fine quality shake thick on one end and tapered on the other. The end result is a fine hand processed shake, which is more in demand than any conventional shake. Jehovahs Witnesses To Have Meeting Word was received here this week that D. R.
