Device For Kiln Lumber

Operations of a device for unloading flat-piled kiln-dried lumber from the carriage mechanically, an invention of Matt Egan, superintendent of the Algoma Lumber Company, is being awaited with interest by mill operators of the Klamath Falls district.

Success of the experiment will mean a great saving in the handling of kiln-dried lumber, operators state.

The device, known as an unstacker, is intended for use in unloading lumber which is loaded flat for kiln-drying. Only the stickerman will be required and he can also attend to the operation of the unloader.

The machine. now under construction. consists of an electric hoist and a revolving overhead chain with lugs. The iction of the two is such that as each tier is stripped from the top of the load, the hoist automatically raises the load to the correct level for the next lug to take hold.

Veneer From Shasta Oak

The Red River Lumber Company has shipped two truikloads of oak, 5000 board feet, from the vicinity of Montgomery Creek to Westwood, where experiments will be made in the veneering plant to test the utility of the wood in veneering work. Therg is a great deal of oak on the company's land aroun'd Montgomery Creek, both rvhite oak and black oak. If it should work up as expected in veneering, the oak lumber, hitherto of little value. will become a considerable asset.
