Lumber Production

(Continued from page 15 ) states: Arkansas, Idaho, and Montana. The products it makes in Idaho are marketed only as dry lumber and there is no green production shipped into the West Coast.

The mill at Lewiston. Id.. cut almost 199 million feet of lumber in 1977, a slight drop from the 204 million feet of 1976. From the information made available to the survey, this is the single largest producing unit in North America. The St. Maries, Id., unit showed an increase of l0 million feet while Prescott, Ar., showed a 5 million foot boost. The Twin Feather mill at Kamiah. Id.. showed a decrease of almost six million feet and the Rutledge plant at Coeur d'Alene dropped 31,4 million feet to 64 million 738 thousand feet. Corporate headquarters for Potlatch are at San Francisco, Ca.

Publishers Is Seventh

Seventh place Publishers Paper nudged its cut up to 563 million feet to put them 52 million feet ahead of last year's 8th place showing. The

Burney, Ca., mill took bows for an increase of 25 million feet, almost half of the 52 million feet gain. The Portland. Or.. mill had an increase of l3 million feet and the Clackamas, Or., site shot ahead almost ten million feet.

Crown Zellerbach fell back to Sth place this year from last year's 7th place showing. Although their annual cut spurted 35 million feet to 556 million 700 thousand feet in 1977, it was not enough to keep Crown Zee in 7th place.

The largest jump, at Joyce, La., was l3 million feet; Twisp, Wa., counted for another l0 million foot boost. Ornak, Wa., bounded ahead by 9 million feet to 86 million feet plus. Columbia City Or., also got out 5.5 rnillion more feet than in 1976.

IP Co. Is Ninth

International Paper Co. stayed number 9 as compared to 1976 even though it had a 55 million foot increase over 1976's 480 million feet. Five rnills in the South accounted for 39 million feet of the gain while Gardiner, Or., had an 8 million foot increase. Chelatchie, Wa., operations came in with a 7 million foot increase that helped give IP Co. such a good year.

To round out the top ten, St. Regis Paper Co. made it safely to the top this year by beating out last year's winner, Willamette Industries. To do so, St. Regis had to cut 37 million feet more than Willamette's 43 I million feet of 1977. Since St. Regis cnt 374 million feet in 1976,it was not on the survey because it was in the l5th spot in 1976.

But all that changed this year with a new plant at Libby, Mt., which accounted for 82 million feet of that gain while Costigan, Me., added 10 million feet.

Readers who have followed the fortunes of the mill at Klickitat. Wa.. will be disappointed to know that its footage dropped off by 9 million feet while two mill sites at Tacoma. Wa.. produced almost the same amount as in 1976. Overall, St. Regis had an increase of 94 million feet over 1976, or 25%.

1978 no doubt will be a banner year for the lumber industry, too. It is interesting to look ahead and attempt to determine what changes might take place in the corning year.
