Ncw International \(/ecternr Haul Logr for Diamond Match

I'ortland, Ore., April 6-The Western l'ine Association today name<l ltatph l). Ho<lges of Vancottver, Wash', to the post <lf <listrict forest engineer for California'

A mentber of the 1942 class in forestry at University of California an<t ;1 fortner Navy pilot, Hodges has been a forcster in thc I'acific Northlvest sincc 1946' Aftcr scver;rl montlts nrarket experiencc with t wholesale lunrber firm in San Iiratrcisco folltltving his separation fr<lm servicc, he joinetl l)orteotts & Company, Seattle, as a timber cruiscr. In l94tt, Hodges became associated with the Harb<lr l'lvwood corl)orati()n on a timller inventrlry projcct in the l-ewis river are:r in the state of Washington.

"The a<ldition of Mr. FI<ldges to the forestry staff,"

Thc Diamond Match Company recently added six big, new, Model W-6564-OH International Western trucks to its fleet for hauling togs from one of its extensive timber properties in northern California east of Chico' Each truck has a wheclbase of 230 inchcs and a Hall-Scott engine that develops 276 hp. at 1900 r.P.m. Trailers have l0-foot bunks.

Logs, averaging 800 feet in size, 32 fcet in length, and l6 to 38 inches in diameter are hauled an average of 5 miles to a railroad siding at Cold Springs. Then, they go by cornpany-operated railroad another 39 miles to Stirling City where one of a number of Diamond Match's sawmills operated in various parts of the country is located' The logs are chiefly Douglas fir, sugar pine, Ponderosa pine, and u,hite fir. At the Stirling City mill, which produces some 50,000,000 feet a year, the logs are sawed into rough lumber for distribution among the company's 70 retail yards in California located chiefly in the Sacramento River Valley and also for a wood products plant at Chico' A total 264 trucks serve Diamond Match's retail yards in Sacramento River Valley, its Chico plant, and its logging show based on the Stirling City mill.

Operations have been condttcted in the Polk Springs rcgion a year, and timber is available for another year's procluction. Then they will be 'carried on farther on in Rouncl Valley to which a private road is now being built and from which hauls to railroad siding will average 16 miles. Roads are of volcanic cinders and very durablv constructed, rvhich means so much in speedier, safer, and nrore efficient operation and much less wear and tear on trucks, trailers, and tires.

The Diamond Match Company is much more diversified in its output than its name implies. Only one log out of five that it cuts, for instance, is utilized in the manufacture of matches. The others are made into lumber as mentioned above and also a variety of wood products such as toilet tissue, paper towels and napkins, waxed paper' and various pulp articles such as food containers and plates, also lvooden forks and spoons, clothespins, toothpicks, lollipop sticks, beehives and frames, etc'

The California Timber Division of The Diamond Match Company has compiled a very complete booklet entitled "Operating Procedure Rules" which includes a variety of safety do's and don'ts not only for its transportation department but also for its construction department and for employees using explosives and those working on tractors. rock crushers, and other equipment'
