PAUL'S MEN HAD WEIRD
EXPERIENCE TIME . 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.

Little Snowfall in Territory

Operations
In view of the fact that !ie For
est Lumber company lias announced
plans ror running its Aspgrove mill
all winter, two shifts. It is l-oR.ucl-ed
as probable by many local lum
betnta'rj that the lQBgdng camp of
the company will he operated unt 1
vary late In the winter, .ir possibly

It' la pointed out that tho F iresl

supplied there yol remains tho Asp

mated capacity or ten million feet.
This pond ,1s one. of the host In
this 'section, ths W'llllamsoa river

prevent troeslng.
Atwthhr factor In ravor k( winter

Forest Lumber company oanip is
rather peouilnrly Ditunied in a bell
Wfhlch bus little snowfall in the
winter lime. In sharp contrast n the

for this winter.
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.
