15O Foot Treated Poles

The longest pressure-treated poles ever produced in the Pacific Northwest have been shipped from Dant & Russell's North Plains plant, according to George Latimer, manager of the D & R wood preserving division.

The finished Douglas Fir poles are 150 feet long and were logged from an Oregon forest in the lower Columbia River area. A special "bed" was bulldozed at the logging site to avoid breaking the tree in falling, Latimer said. The trees were pushed over with a dozer rather than cutting in order to use their root systems in slowing down the fall.

Because of their length, the poles were hand peeled at D&R's pole yard and then pressure-treated with pentachlorophenol.

The Army contract with Dant & Russell specified poles with a 12 inch minimum diameter at the top. The poles actually shipped are l3 inches in diameter at the top and approximately 30 inches at the butt. They are believed to be second-growth timber.

Three rail flat cars were required to deliver the poles to the Army laboratory at Adelphi, Maryland as well as a special routing because of the poles length.

L0NGEST pressure-treated Douglas Fir poles ever produced in pa. cific Northwest have been shipped by Dant & Bussell to a U.S. Army laboratory. Poles are 150 feet long, 13 inches in diameter at top, approximately 30 inches at butt. They required special falling and hand peeling before being pressure-treated.
