Klamath County - Klamath Falls

April 8, 1950: "J. W. Fisher started the log haul to Klamath Falls on Monday, with five trucks taking logs from the Modoc Lumber company's Seven Mile division west of here (Fort Klamath). A crew of fallers has been working for the past two weeks cutting timber, with Harry Lewis in charge of the men.
J. W. Fisher of Klamath Falls has the contract for logging and hauling for the Modoc Lumber company this week seeing the resumption of logging which shut down last fall.
Work by Fisher will be temporarily discontinued at Seven Mile this week, when the crew and equipment will move to Chinchalo, where they will cut and haul several million feet of logs. This will take an estimated three weeks to complete, when the crew will again start work at Seven Mile for the rest of the season.
On the first day of work, one of the logging crew, Tony Ortis, of Chiloquin, sustained a severe back injury while driving a caterpillar in the woods. He was brought in to Fort Klamath by F. D. Knox, an employe of Fisher, and from here was taken to Klamath Falls by Leonard Smith. He is receiving medical care at Klamath Valley hospital." (Herald and News)
