ca. 1956. Timber industry scenes from Grays Harbor and the Olympic Peninsula, ordered by Malcolm McGhie. A locomotive owned by Rayonier Inc. hauls logs across a railroad trestle; carrying them to a mill or paper plant for processing. In 1956, Rayonier was replacing the spur railroad lines with private truck roads that led to two company owned main logging railroads. Funds were spent to improve the main tracks, trestles and replace the steam locomotives with new diesel-electric ones. By May 1957, it was projected that the conversion to truck logging would be complete. This shows a Rayonier Baldwin diesel putting a logging train across the Hoko River Bridge on the Olympic Peninsula. (Rayonier annual report for 1956)

Rayonier and Rayflo plants, ordered by Malcolm McGhie. Rayonier, Inc. manufactured paper, pulp, cellulose products and wood chips. This series of pictures appears to have been taken at the Port Alice, British Columbia, cellulose mill and woodmill. Port Alice was part of Alaska Pine, the Canadian subsidiary of Rayonier, Inc. The logs in the photograph appear to be undergoing the "barking" process. The bark is removed from the log and and the remaining product will either be processed for cellulose pulp or wood chips.

New construction at the Rayonier and Rayflo plants, ordered by Malcolm McGhie. This is believed to be the chemical cellulose plant of Rayonier's Canadian subsidiary Alaska Pine at Port Alice, British Columbia, near the northwestern end of Vancouver Island. The mill is surrounded by fast growing forests that supply an unending source of raw materials. Nearby Victoria Lake provides a fresh water supply and deep water docking provides an outlet for overseas shipment. The plant was undergoing large scale construction to increase the productivity of the mill. Most of the construction was scheduled to be completed by the third quarter of 1957, at a cost of $14,000,000. (1956 Annual Report, Rayonier Inc.)

Shipping the finished product at the Rayonier and Rayflo plants, ordered by Malcolm McGhie. Much of the market for cellulose markets was overseas and the deepwater docking at Rayonier's Canadian subsidiary's Alaska Pine mill at Port Alice, BC, could accomodate large oil tankers and ocean vessels for overseas shipment. Here a forklift is being used to load a large vessel.

Logging near Mineral; ordered by Malcolm McGhie. A logging truck heavily loaded with huge tree trunks winds up a hill on a gravel road. Mist shrouds the clear cut area surrounding the road. Mineral is a small logging town on Mineral Lake fourteen miles north of Morton in north central Lewis County. During 1956, this private two lane road was built by St. Regis Paper Co. to replace a 12 mile logging railroad. Roads are now the main artery in the area that supplies the Tacoma mill.

Logging near Mineral; ordered by Malcolm McGhie. A large crane on a tractor type base is being used to lift a tree trunk log onto a logging truck. The crane is labelled St. Regis, which would indicate that this log is destined for the paper mill. Mineral is a small logging town on Mineral Lake fourteen miles north of Morton in north central Lewis County.The loggers are working at St Regis' Camp #2 near Mineral. In 1956, the company built a new booming ground and reload at Mineral Lake, new private logging roads and put into service new loading equipment, logging trucks, crew buses and other neccessary vehicles. Unrestricted by state highway size limitations, the beds for these Diesel trucks and trailers are 12 feet wide and can carry up to 100 tons in a single load. (1956 Annual Report, St. Regis Paper Co.)

The forested area is located on St. Regis Paper Co. controlled lands near Mineral, Washington. Mineral is located 14 miles north of Morton in north central Lewis County. The area was home to both the timber and the mining industries. (1956 Annual Report, St. Regis Paper Co.)

Rayonier's Grays Harbor mill, for Malcolm McGhie. The Grays Harbor mill was capable of producing 110,000 tons of chemical cellulose per year. In addition, it produced paper making pulps which it converted to about 30,000 tons of fine papers per year. In this photograph, the new pulp cutter at the Grays Harbor division, with backstand holding jumbo rolls, cuts them into sheets to be packaged for shipment. Each roll can weigh up to 7 tons. The cutter was new equipment in the finishing room, increasing operating efficiency and providing better packaging for shipment. (1956 Annual Report, Rayonier Inc.)
