Plumqs Lumber Co. Hqs Modern Operotion on Feqther River Wifh Moore Kilns
At the head of the famous Feather River Canyon in California is the Indian Valley and on the south side of this valley is located the town of Crescent Mills. About two years ago the Genesee Wood Products established a modern lumber manufacturing plant. Last June this growing operation was purchased by John and Frank Crawford and is now operated as Plumas Lumber Company.
A planing mill was first constructed at this site by the old Genesee Lumber Company, and several months ago three new Moore Cross-Circulation Kilns were added to the facilities. Two of the kilns are single track and one is double track, each 66 feet long. Like the rest of the plant, the kilns are geared for production. Grouping of the boiler and kilns is compact and convenient, giving minimum travel for the lumber from green to dry.
To get production there must be convenience. This is secured from the latest design, completely automatic, oilfired, lorv-pressure Cleaver Brooks oackage boiler, which is capable of handling several additional kilns when the need arises. Added effectiveness and convenience is provided in the kilns by automatic fan reversal, automatic vent control, and automatic temperature and humidity control, all accomplished with the Moore Autographic Controller.
For long usage the buildings are constructed ol l2-inch concrete block walls with incense cedar roofs.
Operations are under the direction of veteran lumberman Art Lund.
