The Brooks & Ross Lbr Co, of Scho-
field, expects to begin shipping logs by
rail the latter part of the week or first
of next. Nearly two months ago log
ging trains filled the pond so full of logs
that the mill crew could not keep up
with the shipments and so the logging
trains were taken off the road. The
company has been cutting mostly hem
lock and hardwood all summer with
small amount of pine. When shipments
begin again, about 100000 feet of pine
of superior grade will be brought
down from Mercer These logs are for
the most part large and of a better
quality than has been sawed in this
section in years. As the mill cuts out
million feet in about nine days the
above amount will supply the plant less
than three weeks.
