THEY LOGGED ON ROUND RIVER , Produced by special arrangement with Esther Shep herd, author of 'Taul Bunyan." The complete book may be secured from the McNeil Press- Seattle, Wash., Price $2. One of the most peculiar incidents of Paul's life con cerns his experience following the year of reversed winter when all the ducks and geese flew backward and when it was light at night and dark in tho daytime. This was the season Paul picked to move his camp a long ways. He got into new territory, country that he had never logged before. Which perhaps accounts for nome of the things that happened. Anyway the logging continued all winter. In the spring it was decided to send all the logs in one big raft down the river that flowed past the camp. Johnny Inkslinger was nut in charge of the raft be cause he had to get to the outside world and get a doctor. Working on the books all day when it was dark and trying to sleep at night when it was light had made Johnny a nervous wreck, besides nearly ruining his eyes. Johnny started out with his crew down the river on the raft,' which was a typical Bunyan affair. It had seven decks and was painted blue because the Swedes like the color. , The third week of the trip Johnny peered out from behind his glasses and was astonished to note that they wei'e passing another camp which was apparently built on the same scale as Bunyanjs.- It took them an hour to pass it and for the next week the men cudgeled their brains trying to figure out just who it might be. Then for two weeks they drifted again ana again passed a camp similar to the- one they had passed three weeks before. The only difference was that the prune pita in front of the door were piled twice as high as at the camp they had passed before. Johnny's curiosity was aroused and he stopped the raft and went ashore. When he entered the floor of the bunkhouse he found the crew eating and Paul Bunyan at the head of .the table. It then dcvoleped that the camp had been situated on Round River, which flowed in a circle and had no outlet, and that the raft had simply been floating around and around, getting no place. . Historians differ as to what then occurred. Some say Paul built a road and hauled the logs overland. Others insist that he used the same method as when a lot of logs found their way into Crater Lake, which has no outlet. He simply had Sourdough Sam put a lot of his self.ri.sing dough' into the river which caused it to swell its banks and overflow, creating a new outlet to the ocean. !

RUN N WINTER Forest Lumber Company To Build For Double Band Mill; Will Run 2 Shifts This Year That frame work for a double band mill will be built at the Forest Lumber Company plant at Aspgrove was the announcement made Monday in Klamath Falls by E. T. Horn, general superintendent of the company. According to Horn only one side of the mill will be equipped this season., A nine-foot band saw mill be installed this season, with a daily rated capacity of about 65,000 feet. Until advices are received from Portland, Mr. Horn said he did not know whether the Allis Chalmers or Filer Stowell companies were lucky bidders, but did know that the choice of equipment lay between the two firms. Work on the framework of the mill will begin imme diately. ..A large force of men has been employed fov about two weeks in cleaning up the debris left by the fire which this spring destroyed the mill when it was the property of the Modoc Pine company. Construction of the mill is expected to take about three and one-half months and immediately it is completed the company will begin sawing. Two shifts will "be employed and the mill will be operating all winter. About 100 men will be employed in the construction of the mill and this work will begin immediately materials are received, about the latter part of the week.
