Wisconsin lumber men. , built the first mill which was pur chased shortly afterward by Gco Irgo Stoddard and C. W. Nlbby. Mr. Stoddard was actively en vuged In the business until his l dentil In l!H7 when the control passed down to his heirs. He built j his first eastern Oregon mil) at Wolf Creek near North Powder lu IKK and later formed tho Siod jdard Lumber Company at Baker jwith his two brothers.

Vast Production In Its Sr years of operation the Grande Itonde has produced. In round numbers, fiuo.liun.oou feet of lumber of all kinds. On the has. Is of five people to the family nnd five room house for each fatu ity this nmount of lumber would houae the people of Portland. Of thh nmount Fred Itoberlson. hend sawyer. In 27 years of service hns cut 2 o o.n nu. a no feet or enough lumber to housu the people of Salt Lnke City. The nmount of lumber cut rep- reaenta l.tniti.otin logs or enough to fill 7H.0OU cars which would reach from Perry to Salt Lak". Two nnd one half cors of logs produce ono car of lumber, thus the lumber would fill enough ear to Btreteh from here to Boise. Operating Two Shifts The mill In operation ut the pre sent time Is uddlng to this total at the rate of IU.UUO feel each day, working two full shifts. The present, plant was rebuilt a long modern lines after the fire wntcn destroyed the mill proper lust September. This fire on Sep tember eighth was thi third sua tuined by the company during its period of operation, 'i'lie planing mill burned In ma7 and thu saw mill burned in 1 it 1 1. Tli mill now In operation is what Is culed n single band milt with a re-anw. Working the two shifts the production of the' plant is larger than with the oh) mill. The company employs men at present. The logs ore run through the mill at u rapid rate and the ma chinery travels almost unbellevebly fast. The wheels over which the the main band saw travels, if pla ced under your auto, would put you over the ground nt the rate of I -'0 miles an hour. Every second MUD teeth strike the log und chi sel out their bit. An almost con tinuous Ht renin of lumber passes out of the mill on the green chain and is there stacked on cars to be stored In the yurd or perhaps plac ed in the dry kilns. Tho yard hns a alonge capacity of ir..unn.nno feel of lumber.

A fciiiurc of the retail establishment is the planning de partment, a speelul service lo homebuilders. But a f rait Ion of the total nut put of the plant is uhsorbid ut the retail department so the company must look to wider fields for mar kets.
