The wood supply clanking up the jackladder to be milled into paper was not the customary heavy, costly pine, fir and spruce; it was scraps of branches and tree tops and scrubby hemlock, waste wood that loggers call "slash" or "hog." Pounded by the mill's crushing stones, the scrap was being processed into newsprint as marketable as any produced from the most expensive pulpwood...
