A rail car full of wood chips pours into an outdoor receptacle on September 16, 1965. This photograph, taken on behalf of Malcolm McGhie, New York industrial consultant, was probably taken at St. Regis Paper Co.'s Tacoma plant. The plant would receive purchased chips and proceed to unload them rapidly using this 60-foot car which could hold 70 tons. St. Regis would haul these chips to Tacoma from their sawmills in Montana.

A small boy appears to be probing at one end of a cut log at St. Regis' Kapowsin facility on November 2, 1965. He is dwarfed by the size of the numerous logs stacked before him. The young logger-to-be is wearing knee-high boots, suspenders supporting his trousers and a striped shirt. A book is carried and held open by his thumb, perhaps to make notations regarding the cut logs. Photograph ordered by Malcolm McGhie, industrial consultant, New York, for annual report.

This St. Regis Paper Co. stacker was capable of lifting 60 tons. In this November 29, 1965, photograph taken in the company's new Tacoma dry-land log-sorting and storage yard, the stacker picks up a full rail-car load at one time and transfers the logs to storage decks which are classified by species and grades. The new facility was created on the harbor front by filling in a saltwater log pond between the sawmill and the kraft mill. A 15-acre log-sorting and storage yard was established on the 35-acre new addition; an L-shaped veneer mill and a stud mill were also built adjacent to the yard. Photograph ordered by Malcolm McGhie, industrial consultant, New York. (1965 St. Regis Annual Report, p. 12-13)

The "Alpha Helix" commenced its trial runs on February 19, 1966. Martinac Shipbuilding built the 133-foot research vessel for the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, as a floating experimental biology laboratory. It had a 31-foot beam and displacement of 512 tons, carried a crew of 12 and could berth a scientific party of ten. The $2,225,000 floating lab was skippered by Capt. James Faughn.The "Alpha Helix" made news on the day of its launching, June 29, 1964, when she broke away from fastenings on the Martinac ways and launched itself. She was spared damage when boom men alertly kept her from smashing into broken pilings. In 1980, the vessel was sold to the University of Alaska's Institute of Marine Science.

View of USS Crockett. The USS Crockett was one of 17 gunboats in the Asheville class. Tacoma Boatbuilding had a government contract to build seven of these patrol gunboats, each costing 2.5 million dollars. The Crockett was the third to be launched. Nearly 165 feet in length, the Crockett could accelerate from 0 to 40 knots in 60 seconds. The aluminum ship had approximately 230 tons displacement weight and was powered by a gas turbine. It was launched at Tacoma Boatbuilding on June 4, 1966, with christening honors performed by Mrs. Charles Horjes of Tacoma. After service in South Vietnam, it would be transferred to the Naval Reserve Force in 1975 and decommissioned in 1976.

Logger, chainsaw in hand, examines tree in this photograph dating from July of 1966. The name "Frank" Feller was written on the image storage sleeve. It is not clear whether Feller referred to "Frank's" last name or his occupation as a person who cuts down, or "fells," trees. The stand of trees were believed to be located near the Lewiston, Idaho area and part of the Potlatch Forests property. (scan from original color positive, no print on file)

Modern logging operations, St. Regis property in Kapowsin. St. Regis Paper Co. was gradually reducing its usage of the traditional wooden spars in favor of tall steel masts. These portable spars used the same basic principles of high-lead logging whereby powerful winches hauled in logs by cables rigged from the spar. However, the new steel spar could be set up and in operation within 2 1/2 hours of its arrival at a logging site in contrast with the 3+ days a wooden spar would take to set up and rig with steel cables and guy lines. In the above July, 1966, photograph, a portable tower is collapsed from its 110 feet height and ready to move to a new location where it can once again be set up in much less time than a wooden spar. By the end of 1967, St. Regis expected to have nine mobile spars operating in Washington. (St. Regis Midwesterner, May, 1967, p. 3)

ca. 1964. Majestic Mount Rainier peers over massive timber reserves for St. Regis Paper Co. in this ca. 1964 photograph. These great stands of timber in the foothills of the mountain are included in the Kapowsin Tree Farm which adjoins the western boundary of Mount Rainier National Park. The timber is mostly old-growth Douglas fir and hemlock. They will furnish raw material required by St. Regis' manufacturing operations in Tacoma. (1964 St. Regis Annual Report, cover, p. 1)
