Cariboo Gains Publicity As Pulp Producing Area For Paper Company

The Cariboo came in for publicity in the November-Decemb--r issue of the Powell River Digest, a public re- lations magazine published by the Powe.l Rivcr C mpany.

“Today the Cariboo has a close as- sociation with Powell River as pulp- | wood from that hitherto largely un-|

tapped reservoir finds its way by rail and water to the company’s log bond at Powell River,” savs the article,

“In the Cariboo district there are extensive stands of jack pine ‘ir ana spruce, varying in density and size. Jack pine of merchantable size oc-

curs in the area from Lone Butte to| Prince George. In the vicinity of Lac La Hache and Lone Butte, ta:nous as the haunt of hunters and fishermen, the trees are generally smaller in size and In places dense stands occur.

“This summer our company (Pow- ell River) started investigations in the Cariboo district from Lone Butte north to Quesuel to study pos- sibilities of obtaining a continuous supply of pulp logs.

“After a cursory examination of timber stands in the district. we ap- proached officials of fthe PGR rail- way regarding the transporting 0i logs from Quesnel and way pcints to Squamish on Howe Sound. Shortage of railway cars held up immediate Progress with the railway company, but this was relieved when Kelley Logging Company, a subsidiary of Powell River Company, purchased 70- log cars from Brooks-Scanlon Inc., in Bend Ore., and had 58 of them

“These cars are 40 feet in length, with four 10-ft bunks and 34-inch steel stakes, instead of the usual two-| bunk skeleton type car. They will! handle logs up to 40 feet, or two! tiers of shorter logs to each car.

“Quesnel is 347 miles from Squa- mish by rail and the railroad passes over three summits betweea these

two points. Quesnel is 1549 feet above

sea level and the first summit is near Lone Buttt, where it reaches an al- titude of 3862 feet. The other two summits are smaller but still high and long enough to warrant an ex- tra locomotive. : “ Logging in the Cariboo district is generally continuous throughout the year. In the summer season theré is enough rain to keep the fire haz- ard at a minimum. When our coast camps closed last summer, logging in the Cariboo was maintained, and

although logging and skidding to the roads continues.

is only a fraction of the average cost at the coast. Good roads for dry and freezeup period hauling will cost as little as $500 or $600 per mile, and the cost of gravelling these roads for hauling during the wet season will run from $1000 to $1500 per mile.

“The company has made arrange- ments with Rice & Yorston in Ques- nel to supply four or five cars per day of pulp logs. The agreement calls for spruce and jack pine, with a small percentage of fir, loaded on the rail- Way cars and ready for shipping to

“Rice & Yorston have cof with a number of sma]l logging oper- ators in the vi ‘inity of Quesnel to supply them with pulp logs until their own operations are in full swing. These small operators usually consist of two or three men to the unit. One man does the falling and bucking with a power saw, another man limbs the felled trees and swamps roads, and the third skids the logs out to the roadside with a horse.

“Rice & Yorston expect to toad ont Aoout 40,000 board feet per day, or approximately one million board feet per month by next spring.

“In addition to -this operation, there is a possibility of obtaining three or four more carloads per day from the Williams Lake district. Mr. Anton of Anton Jole & Lumber Com- pany Ltd., of Mission, B.C. has a pole operation and a railway siding for loading at Williams Lake. He has

agreed to load out two cars a day before the end of the year,

“These logs will be unloaded at Squamish,. boomed and towed to Powell River, a distance of 95 miles.

“For over 75 yi , logging oper- ations in B.C. have centred largely in seaboard stands, with easy haul to lide wat and cheap towing from booming grounds to plant Ponds.””

ORVILLE GIBSON, suc: pio foreman, recently worked a straight thirty-six hour shift in a successful effort to keep the roads open.

The school bus got stalled on the Banning hill, a notorious spot when the snow drifts. The snowplow that came to the rescue of the bus broke an indispensible part and Mr. Gib- son had to go to Williams Lake for replacements,

Having returned from Williams Lake, Mr. Gibson spent several hours working with frosty steel, surround- ed by banks of ‘snow. After a late breakfast, the men once more got the twenty-thousand dollar cater- Pillar fixed. They stuck its nose in

the snow and waddled around the

lake to the post office. A clergyman can work in a steam

heated church,a lawyer sits in a com- fortable office, even a politician is comfortable when ‘he plans how to govern. But the men who keep our roads open during the winter season are physically hard and tough as nails — they have to be, to survive.

Canada still is one of the great

natural fur preserves of the world, and each year, about 7,000,000 pelts are taken.
