Sawmill in California

The Ogletree Lumber Company, of Livingston, Texas, which concern has been manufacturing Yellow Pine lumber for more than a generation, is building a sawmill of considerable size in Eureka, California. They have bought a large stand of Redwood and Fir timber not far from Eureka, and will bring the logs to the mill for manufacture.

Progress is being made on the construction of the mill, the plans having been drawn by the younger member of the firm, Ben Ogletree, and the mill is being constructed by his father, G. R. Ogletree. The sawmill will be a double circular with one rig with top saw to break down the large logs, and the smaller circular rig to cut the cants into lumber. The entire plant will be electrically driven. There will be a gang, an edger, trimmer, and all the other necessary equipment. All lumber out of the mill will be handled in packages by carriers, and loaded by a crane. The mill will be served by water shipping from the port of Eureka, and by the Northern Pacific Railroad.

Both father and son are planning to make their homes at the new mill.
