The installation of two new Nloore Cross-Circulation Kilns, one double track and one single track, each 68 feet long, has marked the latest step in the era of growth and expansion of The Dalles Lumber & Manufacturing Company, The Dalles, Oregon. Crowing with The Dalles was the original intention of Ursus E. Brock, president and general manager, when he and associates purchased a small sawmill and storage facilities at The Dalles in March, 1946. In September of 1947 fire destroyed the mill and the company built a new all electrically operated sawmill having a cutting capacity of 36 to 40 thousand feet of green lumber every 8-hour shift.

A second step in the expansion program was the installation of modern planing mill facilities in 1948. In addition to having capacity for finishing all the lumber produced by the sawmill, this planing mill is also available for finishing dimension lumber on a custom basis for the smaller sawmills in the MidColurnbia River Region.

The new kilns are of the latest Cross-Circulation design and the installation of them marks the third step in the company's expansion program. These kilns have a daily drying capacity of more than 35,000 feet of properly seasoned lumber per day. Earl Estes is in charge of kiln drying. Moore-Fin pipe is employed in the heating coils to give maximum heating effrciency with minimum restriction of air flow and permits the operation of the kilns with onlv 15 pounds steam pressure from the boiler. The buildings for these two new kilns have been constructed with concrete block walls and peaked wood roofs supported by steel trusses manufactured by Moore Dry Kiln Company. The large diameter fans which produce the uniform air circulation inside the kilns are housed beneath these trusses above the loads of lumber which are solid piled between the stacking stickers. The lumber florv to and from the kilns has been designed to utilize kilns of the charge type, but double endcd so that lumber is loaded at one end of the kiln, seasoned and removed from the other end of th kiln. After lumber is dried, it is removed from the kilns and stored under cover.

The large capacity loads of Fir and Pine lumber are handled through thc kiln on Moore Heavy Duty Dry Kiln Trucks manufactured with 9" diameter wheels which are alemite equipped for pressure lubrication to assure long life and ease in maintenance.

The Dalles Lumber & Manufacturing Company is cutting and finishing approximately B million board feet of Fire and Pine annually. The finished lumber is shipped to all points in the United States.

The company operates its own logging operation and rnaintains a cold deck of 2 to 2l million board feet of logs at the mill to insure year-around operation. In addition to the stancling merchantable timber owned or controlied by the company, logs are also secured from the \{t. Hood National Forest in connection with the United States Forest Service.

Employing between 60 and B0 local people, The Dalles Lumber and N{anufacturing Cornpany has continued "building ancl growing with The Dalles" as a home-owned and homeoperated industry. With the latest improvements, this plant is able to produce properly manufactured and properly seasoned lumber to meet the most exacting needs of the user.
