CONVERSION
UNDER WAY

Switchover to truck logging
from rail operations is being
undertaken this month by Mac-
Millan and Bloedel Ltd. con-
struction crews at Nanaimo
River Camp.

Both July and August will be
taken up at Copper Canyon Camp
in similar conversion.

Fact that sufficient logs are in
the water to supply company
mills enables production being
halted so that final stages of the
big job can be completed.

Conversion to trucks will be
complete at Copper Canyon as
logs will be hauled direct to the
Dump at Chemainus.

Nanaimo River production will
be trucked to a transfer point
near camp, then will move 17
miles ‘to Ladysmith and be
handled by the E. & E. Railway
to Chemainus.
