Scope and content
One of Cheney Lumber Company's planes is flying east on the south side of Mount Rainier in front of Kautz Glacier. The rainfall had been the lowest in 30 years in 1952 and lower than usual in 1951 making the snowpack much smaller than usual. Cheney Lumber Company used airplanes to facilitate management of mills in Washington, Oregon and California.
