A recent press release of the Export-Import Bank of Washington announced that they have authorized a loan of $250,000 to the Dahican Luml:er Company, organized under the laws of the Philippine Islands, to assist in financing the development and production of Philippine mahogany and other hardwood lumber. The announcement stated that the Dahican lumber concession on the island of Ltrzon contains approximately 230 square miles of virgin hardwood forest. The conc.ession was operated before the rvar by another company, and the mal-rogany rvas introduced in the United States under the brand name "Dahican." The tctal cost of the development will be about $750,000.

A completely modern sawmill has been installed and is expected to be in operation within 30 days. The mill was custom built bv the Peters Company of Portland, Oregon. It includes a double circular headrig with 6Cl' saws, a 54' pony band rig, a 6x48 edger with pre-determined setworks and four hand trim saws. Feedworks and pre-determined setworks for the two carriages and edger controls are hydraulically operated, and the entire mill is set ten feet off the ground on a steel substructure.

Logging is being done by a combination of steam donkeys and tractors with arches. The sawmill has been located in the midst of the timber, and is designed to produce 25 to 30 million feet of high quality, hard textured, Dahican brand, Philippine mahogany each year. The mill is assembled so that it can be moved in order to avoid long iog hauls.
