CALIFORNIA DOOR CO., Continued

the richest and most respected lumbermen in the South.

His eldest son, Kilburn Moore, came to California two years ago to take an active interest in the California Door Company. He was made a Vice President of the concern, and placed in charge of the sawmill operations. He has been in the sawmill game with his father his entire life, and is a highly capable and long experienced manufacturer, knowing both Southern Pine and Hardwood production.

Shortly after his arrival at Diamond Springs most-of the milling plant therg was destroyed by fire, and was promptly r'ebuilt. Mr. G. E. Wilson, who lives at Diamond Springs, looks after the planing mill and remanufacturing departments, and he and Mr. Moore work together in making the Diamond Springs mill one of the most efficient cutting-pine anywhere.

The new mill at Diamond Springs is not one of the large sawmills of California, being very normal in size and equip- ment, -and ope-rated for the purpose of getting everything possible out_of the log. The sawmill is equipped wilh two bands, one 9 and the other 10 foot mills, opCrated by both steam-and electricity, one mill using Martiir Air Dols and !L9 9l!q electric power. They manufacture an averige of 150,000 feet of lumber daily. The supplementary equip- ment of the millin edgers, irimmers, etci, is the latest'irrid best {at money could buy, and they point with pride to the efficienc-y anq economy, rather than the large -production, of their mill. In handling their lumber ihey use a system that they believe saves them a great deal in ultimate cost of production: They take their lumber from the sorting table as it emerges from the mill, and it is piled right there alongside the sorting table on cars, all stiCked, evin, and in units for the dry yard. From there they are hauled directly to the yard, as shown in an accompanj'ing picture, and the electric crane picks the units up and puts them in
