‘. With the beginning of. log towing on ‘the. ‘Nass

lumbia’s northland was. opened. to commercial timber

development.

Last fall Columbia Cellulose

70-mile road link which for the
first. time in history connected
‘the isolated fishing- communities
on the Nass River to the.Com-
pany’s logging headquarters ‘at
Terrace, and to the - rest’ of

The first booms of Nass River
logs are finding their way into

textiles produced from the Com-
pany’s dissolving pulps.
Until the Columbia Cellulose
mill was built to use the Nass
timber, the prime pulp species in
the area had little economic‘ val-
ue, Lacking in Douglas fir, the
hemlock, balsam and spruce for-
qgsts were of little interest to saw-

TRAILER CAMPS USED

Mobile trailer camps have

mediate services and facilities to
the road construction crews.

vides convenient accommodation
for logging and booming ground
crews.

Three minlites away ois the
booming ground, a sidewater of
the Nass River which gives pro-
tected booming in the slough-
Hike current of the channel,

The logs are yarded by tractor
and piled on the banks of the
slough to supply the booming
ground as needed. Or logs are
yarded from where the fallers
and buckers have cut thom to
the Jandings. Prom these they
are pushed by the tractors dl]
rectly into the booming ground,

BUILDING THE BOOMS
