(Continued from Pag'e 32) former housing eight 80Gh.p. boilers and two T50Gkilowatt turbine generators. The boilers will supply steam without super-heat for the dry kilns. The pump house, which will circulate water for all purposes throughout the works, was built outside of the dylie, ilose by the-water, so as to avoid cutting through the dyke.

Proceeding trpstream, Mill 2, the short log fir and hemlock unit, comes next. Logs will be brought in, graded and cut to length on the deck before going to the three band rigs-nine-foot, double-cutting machines that can handle anything up to 32 feet in length. Timbers will be cut here, fccd vittrout rubbin3 or ovcrhcating.

and such of them as are available for gang work will be turled over to two gangs. Ample edging and trimming' capacity is provided for. There are only one roller resaw and vertical resaw for splitting miscuts or any.thing on the edge, waney edges and such like. With the intention of doing all the work on the pony rigs, the gang and the head rig, only one ordinarv resaw is installed.

Mill 3 and the shingle plant, now in the earlier stages of construction, appear upstream from Mill 2. Behind them is a great open space which will be used for air seasoning part of the 100,000,00Gfoot stock to be carried on the property, and eventually forthe box factory, sash and door works and other plants forecast by Mr. Long.

At this upper end of the site also appears one of the most interesting features-the log storage which contains space

for 50,000,000 feet of lumber "in the bark," and the sorting works which are more extensive and elaborate than any others built so far. In brief, this arrangement consists of four channels, formed of piling, extending downstream from the dumping pond. Long fir logs are directed into the outermost channel, down which they are conveyed by the river current to the slip of Mill 1. Similarly,. the second channel conducts short fir and hemlock to Mill 2, and. the third and fourth ones, respectively, deliver cedar toMill 3 and the shingle plant.

This succession of great structures-the log dump and sorting works, the shingle ;ilant, Mill 3, Mill 2, the pump house and power house, Mill I and the wharf and its sortage -stretch in a line down the river side of the property. On the inside is another line of huge buildings-the stackers, kilns and unstackers, rough dry storage sheds, planing mill and loadins shed. Lumber from the two sorters of Mill I, 1, loading of the two of Mill 2 and the sinole sorter of Mill 3 wil single sorter will be deIivered on industrial cars by bridge cranes. These cars will convey it to the yard if it is destined for yard drying or else to the drykiln for storage.

Three stackers have been provided .in connection with the five groups of 10 kilns each. The lumber will be flatstacked. After leaving thekilns,the lumber will pass through the lower story of the unstacker shed and then will be elevated to the second floor. There'three unstackers and three sorters are installed, which permit of another re-sorting ifit is needed, after which the material will go on to the rough dry storage sheds. There are two of these served with bridge type cranes.

Such, in a general way, is the new plant. It was designed by A. H. Onstad, plant architect and engineer of 'Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, with the assistance of Harry Pannlng and a large corps of engineers in the company's headquarters at Tacoma. Chris Moffat is superintendent of construction, and has had the assistance of 16 foremen.
