s Following Reorganisation tat, Miatortcal Socirtp t.t Jena , MT 19601 Es 0 ' f' J and D Lumber Mill To Resume Operations The Poison sawmill operated by J and D Lumber Co. is expected to resume operation Oct. 27 as Flathead Lumber Co., according to Manager Oliver Dupuis. Details of the reorganization will be outlined when completed. Dupuis said. A recurring chip car shortage, compounded by a log shortage, since the first of the month, has made it difficult to keep the mill operating The sawmill was closed earlier in the month but resumed production Oct. 13 The Burlington North - em took 'away the empty chip cars that- J and D was planning to use and sent only three back From Oct. 15-17, no additional cars were received. The Poison mill is served by a pool of 150 chip cars Last summer some 100 more cars were built and added to the pool. This alleviated the chronic shortage and enabled the mill to keep operating and ship its chips to the west coast Then, however, the RN took 100 cars out of the pool and sent them to other areas. Dupuis said Result. .1 and D did not receive an adequate number of cars and had to dump chips in huge pyramid -like piles on Me ground next to the rail siding. This is a costly process because the chips have to be re -loaded by machine when cars are available Dupuis said the chips have been sent to the west coast because of better market conditions Champion mills in Missoula will not buy chips at this time, Dupuis said. J and D was one of the first of the Montana lumber mills to reopen last spring after a number of mills were shut down by a depressed lumber market.
