Second Unit of Weyerhaeuser's Huge Four Unit Milling Plant Prepares to Start at Longview,

The Weyerhaeuser Timber Company is putting the last finishing touches on its seco.nd unit sawmill at Longview, Washington, and will have the mill in operation before the first of August.

There will be two more units, both well under construction way, and both of which will be in operation by fall of this year. When completed this great four unit plant will be one of the two outstanding lumber manufacturing institutions of the world's history. Interesting it is that the other high ranking milling plant stands right alongside of it at Longview-the famous Long-Bell two units. The combined capacities of the Weyerhaeuser and Long. Bell plants at Longview, something in the neighborhood of three and a half to four million feet daily, rvill be solnething to make the lumber world gasp.

The second Weyerhaeuser unit, just preparing to start, is very much different in equipment and manufacturing system from the first, rvhich has been in operation for nearly two months. The first unit is a western break-down type mill, devoting its tremendous energies principally to the manufacture of logs 48 feet in length, and 26 inches and over in diameter. It is equipped with a l0-foot single

cutting break-down headrig, and two 8-foot double cutting band mills. Unit No. 2 has no break-down headrig, its log cutting equipment being three 9-foot double cutting band headrigs, two resaws, two gangs, and a flock of edgers and trimmers. The floor space of the two mills, No. I and No. 2 are the same.

Mill No. 2 will cut shorter and smaller logs, generally speaking, than mill No. 1.

Mill No. 3 is lvell under constructioh also. One double cutting band and a resaw make up its equipment. This mill will mostly saw Cedar, Hemlock, and mixed woods, in short length logs.

Unit No. 4 will be a very large and wonderfully equipped shingle mill. It will be the last mill finished, and will be running in the coming fall. l\Iill No. 3 will be operating about Sept. 1st.

These mills will cut from a stand of some forty billion feet of timber which Weyerhaeuser has been holding for this purpose for many years.

The Long-Bell city of Longvierv will have its payroll and potential possibilities hugely increased by the coming of this mighty Weyerhaeuser institution.

Western Lumber Manufacturers Ask Reduction Into Central Freight Association Territory

(Continued ing full use of the raw material in the woods and at the sawmill. "From thirty to thirty-five per cent of the timber, utilizable under eastern lumber conditions, is unavoidably left on the ground and destroyed in West Coast logging. Such waste commonly runs around 15,000 board feet per acre.t' |

Per capita lumber consumption, Greeley declared, reached'its high point in the year 1909 of 484 board feet and has declined sjnce to 316 board feet in 1924, the last , year for which studies are available. During the same period lumber substitutes increased on an average in productisn D4,4 per cent. Had the per capita consumption of 1909 been continued by 1924 it would have been 55 billion board feet instead of 36 billion, the amount used.

"The lumber industry is, and long will be," he testified, "the basic industry of ihe northern?acific-Coast, and the from Page 43) industry whose prosperity, or its lack, will more than all others govern the general prosperity of the Pacific Northwest. This is particularlv true since 60 per cent of the returns received from lumber represent wages paid in processes of logging and manufacture.

"We feel justified in emphasizing this point, in requesting freight rates that will open up larger rail markets because the pr,esent inability of the lumber industry to utilize its installed manufacturing capacity has a very vital bearing upon the general prosperity of the region, and especially upon the woods and mill labor which has been assembled ai these manufacturing establishm,ents and are dependent upon them for emplovment. The reduced employment of labor by the lumber industry in the Pacific Coast today, occasioned by the necessity for curtailing the production of lumber because sufficient markets are not available, is a serious problem."
