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.
