Freeze Aids FIathead Loooino

Freezing temperatures with
out too much snow will help the
Flathead's lumber industry that
has been fighting mud all summer
in their effort to stockpile logs.
The mercury's retreat to below
freezing over the valley itself
Thursday morning was welcome
sign to the lumber industry. There
has been frost in the woods. The
Flathead has nearly 800 men en-
ployed in the lumber industry with
about half of them working in
Columbia Falls, Martin City or
Coram mills, or supplying these
operations with logs. Last year the
lumber industry produced more
income in the Flathead than did
agriculture.
HALF LAST YEARS LOGS
Lawrence Rude, general manag-
er for Plum Creek in Columbia
Falls, the Flathead's largest mill,
said that the mills log stockpile
totaled about 100000 board feet,
and was about half the volume of
a year ago. Cause was the late
spring, and then record wet wea-
ther in August. September fol-
lowed with lack of drying condi-
tions, a situation that also plagued |
Flathead valley farmers.
Most of Plum Creeks logs come
from the Whale creek drainage
near the Canadian line. It's a SO
mile haul to Columbia Falls, and
brings out Flathead National For
est bark beetle infested spruce.
Plum Creek also has a closer pur-
chase on Canyon creek up the
North Fork, not presently being
logged.
NEW AT PLUM CREEK
Plum Creek building program
this year includes a new 54 by 81
foot office building, planer build
ing additions of 85 by 120 and IS
by 10 feet. To start this fall will
be construction of 130 by ITO foot
dry shed at the site of the old of
flee building.
Log stockpiles at local mills
keep men working in winter, and
also during the spring months
when breakup prohibits log
hauling.
Plum Creek which started in
Columbia Falls in 1945 now en-
ployes 130 men at the mill, and
operates year r-around. Payroll at
the mill, not including woods crew
is $4,000 month.
Principal logging contractor for
Plum Creek is affiliated Royal
Creek Timber Co., with so men.
F, K and L Lumber Co., Martin !
City, also contracts saving and
hauling. Other Plum Creek sup
pliers include Doane and String
fellow, Columbia Falls, bringing
logs from their Dickey creek
Flathead National Forest purchase
near Essex. They are also hauling
to the Corbett mill at Coram.
Last year Columbia Falls ship
ped 1910 freight carloads of lum-
Der over the Great Northern, an
Increase from 1857 cars in 1852,
and the previous record of 1,706
cars in 1851, and a one-time rec
ord of 779 cars in 1947. Columbia
Falls is Montana's third largest
lumber shipping point following
Libby and Missoula.
Rocky Mountain Lumber Co.,
in 1948, has 70 men
in its sawmill, 2x4x8 mill

lent, places the mill payroll at

BEAUTY AND YOU

@. have heard that pulling the
hair is good for the scalp. Is this
true?
A. 1t is recommended by many
scalp specialists. Take your hair
in punches, grasping it firmly, and
give these handfuls of hair firm,
steady pulls. Do not snatch or jerk
for it is easy to yank the hair
from its roots. But give a slow,
finn pull, lifting the hair away
from the scalp, to stretch the
scalp and stimulate circulation.
Q. What is the best way to rouge
very round type of face?
A. Blend the rouge high on the
cheeks, close to the nose, close
under the eyes. Fade it out at the
edge of the cheeks, and this will
keep the color highlights in the
center of the face, and thus make
it seem thinner.

Senate Unit Approves
Two for Judgeships
By ihS Associofed Press

A Senate Judiciary subcom-
mittee today approved President
EiSenhower's nominations of
John w. Lord, jr.. Of Philadel-
phia and John L. Miller of
Pittsburgh to be Federal judges
in Pennsylvania but postponed
action on the judgeship nomina-
ton Of Francis L. Van Dusen.
Mr.. Lord and Mr.. Miller were
personally Endorsed by Senators
Martin and Duff, Pennsylvania
Republicans, but Mr.. Van Dusen,
a Philadelphia who resides in
Montgomery County, Pa, has
been opposed by the Senators.
Their objection is based on the
fact that Mr.. Van Dusen was
nominated even though they had
not recommended him.
Chairman LANCER heard testi-
mony in support of Mr.. Van
Dusen from seven members of
the Philadelphia Bar ASsocia-
ton and then announced an
other hearing would be held in
two weeks.
