Wood chips axe shipped to the pulp plant from mill operations 

 as much as 250 miles away. 



This plant annually ships from Montana, eleven thousand 

 carloads of line-board and pulp to all parts of the country, 

 and adds some 18 million dollars to the economy of the State, 



In addition to the wood chips utilized, it also uses, 

 each day, 25 van loads of sawdust in the digester and 30 truck 

 loads of waste wood and refuse for fuel in the power plant. 



The species used in this operation are Douglas-fir, 

 ponderosa pine, white pine, lodgepole pine, larch, spruce 

 and hemlock. 



Pulp and paper production provides the means by which 

 forest utilization can be improved. It makes possible more 

 sanitary logging operations and easier fire protection. It 

 contributes to less costly rehabilitation and timber stand 

 regeneration and makes possible harvesting of acres which 

 until now have been economically unfeasible to manage.
