For when the wind blows logs unloaded at the Big Lakes pond in Klamath Falls pile up on shore and make it impossible to complete the unloading. Which means that the Southern Pacific .can't haul the empty cars back to. Kirk. Which means that the logging trai ncrew can't take them back to camp. Which means that the loading crews at the camp are out of a job, for they can't load logs on thin air. t It may all seem far-fetched but it happened twice during the past month: Carriage At Shasta View Jimmed Again Experiment With Shot Gun Feed Dis ( astrous Whang!

Klamath County Residents May Be Soon Asked To Aid Move To Hit Paper Boxes Aid of Klamath county residents will be asked with in the next few weeks in a campaign to help protect one of the most important industries of this region the manufacture of box shook. This is the plan now be ing tentatively considered by local lumber men and it is expected that a course of action will be mapped out shortly whereby the community can be brought to a realization of the danger now existing that one of Klam ath country's biggest industries will be driven out of existence.

This salesman had made steadily increasing sales all year sales that amounted to more:ven than his pre vious volume when all tbe big mills were in operation. This, according to L. 9. Wray. lo cal representative of the Slmonds company, was found to be caused by the influx of countless numbers of small portable mills, following In the wake of the larger mills and cutting small tracts of timber which tho larg er mills could not economically handle. Because these small mills came af ter the departure of the larger oper ators they were able to buy timber at their own price, for they wero the only market available to the Isolated timber owner. The result has been a production of low priced second grade lumber In such volume as to exceed that of the larger mills when they were op erating. Thin, aieornllrs to Wray. has a di rect bearing on the price of lumber in Klamath county. When it was an nounced this year that many of the larger southern operators had ceased running, it was believed that this would have a stimulating effect on local prices. This has not been the case. Prices have remained down and the reason is the thousands of small portables now swarming over southern hills, Wray declares.
