West Oregon Lumber Compony Also Closes in Norrhwest

Portland, Ore.-West Oregon Lumber Co., Linnton, Ore., another of the Portland-Longvierv area's major oceanshipping mills, will not reopen at the conclusion of the current AFL-CIO millrvorkers' strike. The announcement came from the mill's directors last month.

The recent sale of the Inman-Poulsen Lumber Co. to Georgia-Pacific Plvu'ood Co. was expected to lead to the closing of the large I-P sa.n'mill in Po.rtland. At Longview, M and M Wood Working Co. has closed its plyr.vood plant and sold an option to Long-Bell Lumber Co., rvhich rvill modernize and reopen if it decides to buy. All three operations suffered in recent years from long log hauls. Both of the latter deals were reported in recent issues of THE CALIFORNIA LUMBER MERCHANT.

West Oregon's official statement said the principal reason for the dissolution rvas failure to obtain an adequate loe supply at prices rvhich rvould permit the company to operate at a profit. Its mill operation was started in 1911 at Clatskanie. Prior to World War II the plant was turning out 700,000 board feet a day. Just before the strike, it rvas producing about i75,000 feet daily.

Duro Mqster Power Tool Workshop Hcrs New'Motorizing Principle'

The Duro Metal Products Company of Chicago, large manufacturer of hand and power tools, has developed a brand new po\\rer tool workshop idea. It was introduced in a press preview at the Statler hotel, Los Angeles, July 15, following a Iuncheon for dealers and local writers.

For the first time, Duro representatives said, woodworkers will be able to own a complete workshop of individual single purpose tools at a budget price. The heart of this new workshop idea is a new patented "quick-change" motor mount attachment which permits one motor to operate any number of full size tools with a changeover that only takes ten seconds.

The entire shop is composed of five "most used" power tools, including an 8" Tilting Arbor Saw,4f" Jig Saw, 14" Drill Press, and a 27" Gap Lathe. As an entire shop, each of these units is equipped with the special motor mounting device that permits the rapid motor changeover. In addition to the five basic workshop units, Duro has included optional units which can be added to the basic workshop or can be purchased in place of any of the basic units within the shop itself. The optiorial units include a 10." Band Saw,6" Sander, a larger 10' x 31" Lathe, 5" x 6" Jointers. Rugged wood top tool stands are also available.

Professional craftsman and do-it-yourself handymen have recognized the superiority of working on individual tools but the rise in motor costs has posed a problem to prospective workshop owners. The new Duro "motorizing principle" combines the low cost of a one motor set-up plus the advantages of individual full size power tools. The "quick change" motor

Western Pine's 5OOth Tree Fcrrm

Kamiah, Idaho-Cattle and trees. That's what the Western Pine Region's 500th Tree Farm grows. Wayne Randall, a 37-year-old farmer, was one of 40 forest land ()wners in the Kamiah country to have his woocled property certified as a !\'estern Pine Tree Farm early in June. His was the 500th tree farm to be brought under the tree farm banner in the l2-state Western Pine Region.

Randall has been farming his 752-acre place for a little over three years. He raises Hereford cattle-he runs al;out 85 head-and rotates his field crops in hay and grain. And now, with 520 acres of his land forested with old growth Ponderosa Pine and Douglas Fir, he plans to grow trees as a continuotls crop, while at the same time growing forage for his stock.

mount which has been developed after many years of researrh enables the power tool user to bring the motor to the tool quickly and easily instead of attempting to bring the tool to the motor. The Duro Nlaster Power Tool Workshop can bc "built up" a unit at a time. It can be started with any single unit or any combination of units to suit a particular budget or need-with the option of purchasing additional units later as desired.

The Duro \{aster Workshop of five individual full size tools, less rnotor and stands, will retail for $239.95.
