Timber Cruiser Looks for Land in Umatilla County
C W Fairchild a Cedar Rapids timber cruiser scouts 40 southern Umatilla county timber claims pooled for sale by locals from La Grande. If a purchase justifies it a sawmill will be built along the rail line at Pendleton to convert logs into lumber and supply fuel locally. Fairchild, representing a firm with millions in northwest timber, will cruise the claims for over a month and has recently surveyed timber belts in Montana. He notes mills are rising, he is not buying for speculation, and unless a new building material appears timber prices will rise as western belts are exhausted. He cites export markets and eastern trade as current focus for big mills.
