Weyerhaeuser's New Sawmill

(Continued from page 4) feet to the kilns. A huge cooling shed awaits the lumber rvhen it comes from the kilns. Automatic unstackers unload the lumber from the kiln cars at the door of the rough dry sheds. Frgm here the lumber is all piled and handled in package units.

The planing mill is of course in keeping with the rest of the great plant, equipped with two molders, a resaw, an edger, four planers, and nine 'cut-off saws. The dry lumber and shipping shed is 246 by 742 feet in size.

There are a thousand refinements in this plant never dreamed of in sawmill construction of just a few years back. Naturally there is every conceivable device for the mechanical handling of the lumber products throughout. But in addition, the lighting effects have been scientifically arranged to furnish the best possible light for the employees to rvork by, and the inside of all buildings has been scientifically painted to give the lights the best reflective value and supply more pleasant working conditions. Colo: combinations never before heard of in a sawmill, have been 'i'r'orked out with the same care as the arrangement of machinery. There is no burner at this plant. Evervthing that comes from the saw is utilitzed. The entire plant gives the impression of being bright, clean, pleasantcolored, and different.

It is a plant that will attract visitors in unusual fashion, and will, at the same time, make lumber with the highest degree of scientific certainty.
