PACE. TEN SPEED RULE IN KLAMATH S WAR l LOG OPERATION fS HERALD AND. NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON With lumber still a super critical war material, logging operations of the Klamath coun try are- gauge . to high-speed production of the big sticks that go to the sawmills where. lumr ber is made. The series of pic tures on this page illustrates some of the methods used to maintain log production at a high- rate, despite manpower problems with one old-time photo thrown in for contrast. . Newest equipment illustrated is the power saw,-now pretty generally in use in large opera tions here. The saw is made up of a blade about five feet long, around which a circular chain knife rotates. The saw shown in these pictures is in use at the Big Lakes operation near Fort Klamath, and is powered by a small gasoline motor, much like a n outboard motor for boats, mounted on the end of the saw. Some saws are pow ered electrically from, genera tors on and powered by a trac tor. The falling crew using a power saw includes the man on the power end of the saw, the man on the other end, and a man with an ax who chops out the undercut after the first incisions are made by the saw. The jammer i s a loading crane, and is used in loading logs on trucks and loading them on railroad flat cars. After- the tree is fallen and the logs "bucked" (sawed into proper lengths) they are "snak ed" out to truck roads or rail roads by tractors with a rear arch arrangement, illustrated in one of the pictures. . In old times, horse teams were used for power, and the logs were dragged between two high wheels as shown in the old time picture at the bottom.
