Woods Camp
Whenever Klamath Falls has a very windy day, it
spells no pay for someone in the Forest Lumber
company camp, 40 miles away.
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:

And itnother experiment with the

ended disastrously l the Shasta

Tho crash happened lust before
work Was1 begun last Kriday morn-.
Ing. At 20 minutes to s, some em
ploye on Iho upper tloov of the mill
decided to do a title Oxparlmentlng
with the carriage nnd touched the
lever daintily, apparently forgetting
that all Hint goes up comes down
f nntl that a carriage moves some
what swiftly when it sets started.
When the smoke of battle cleared
away the oarrlnge had torn down
the rear bumper and wits shy the
usual assortment of brackets.
Hy using all possible speed in
making repairs the mill was again

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.

With Little Capital Tied up,
Owners Demoralize '
Market
Last year at a convention of repre
sentatives of the Simoudt Suw com
pany In the east, one of tho big sur
prises of the year wan thp report of
a salesman for the company making
territory in whfcli nearly all of the
timber land had all been cut over.
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.
