Affected will be 135 workers earning an average of nearlv $50,000 a month, E. A. Linden, resident manager of the division, reported.

Nearly 600 persons are employed by Oregon Pulp with an annual payroll in all divisions of approximately $4,000,000.

Reasons for closing the sawmill were listed as: l. Logs are in short suPply.

2. Available logs are so high priced it is impossible to manufacture lumber and sell it successfully.

3. Government timber auctions have pushed prices verv high.

+. Logging areas are becoming more remote from Salem mills as the center of logging has moved south to the Roseburg region. I-otg hauls are expensive.

Sawmill equipment will be maintained here for a year or so to see if the business picture changes'
