When you consider the difference between the size of the timber cut at Bogalusa add the huge timber of the Fir territories, it must be admitted that Bogalusa is alrnost as much of a monster as Longview.

They run ten hour shifts in the South and the Bogalusa mill with two such shifts has a record run df 1,018,000 feet to her credit. The trade generally refers to this as a million a day plant, but she has reached this total but the one time, although she hovers around it frequently.

This record run in 20 hours was a total of 50,900 feet per hour, as .compared with the Marshfield mills more than 100,000 feet per hour, which, to the Southerners who have looked with wonderment at the Bogalusa operation, will' give something of an understanding of that mammoth Oregon sawmill.

Great Plant at Virginia,IVlinn.

One more plant remains to be discussed, one that is advertised as "The largest, most modern and complete white pine lumber plant in the world." That it IS the largest, there seems to be no doubt.

It is operated by the Virgirtia & Rainy Lake Company at Virginia, Minnesota. For a long time it was considered the biggest sawmill plant in the world, and very likely was entitled to that distinction.

Virginia is a double milling plant, withtwo great sau'mills, one of them larger than the other, standing on opposite sides of the same huge mill pond. Their No. 3 mill, as they call it, is a tremendous unit, being equipped with five band headrigs, and one horizontal resaw. the mill across the pond, Mill No. 2, has two bands and a resaw. These mills run two ten-hour shifts daily, and cut with ease a million feet in twenty hours, and over three hundred million feet a year. No other white pine plant in any locality
