Approximately 4 mi men are em

The Jtowman-Hieks lumber mill,
located at the north western limlis
of Jji Grande, is, from Ihe stand
point of equipment, the euar of
nearly uny plant In the northwest.
it Is a self contained unit, pow
er Is developed. Ugh Is are gen
erated and water is pumped by the
plant itself with no dependence on
outside sources.
She 120 Acres.
The milt site, including tin' log
ging ponds, contains iu acrex. m
this Ihe plant is located and mur
age capacity for the lumber and
for the log.s (the two log ponds) Is
provided.
The plant is divided Into two
main units which are tn turn sub
divided Into several .smaller divi
sions. These are, the mill proper
which cuts the logH and turns out
t he unfinished lumber and t he
building in which the planing ma
chinery, Ihe bu faeiorv. and the
retail department are housed.
The mill proper Is of the double
hand lype. Jjigs are conveyed into
tlx- mill from ihe pond on an cud-
btis chain, mounted on the two'
I'D Triages and Hiiwid into roiiL-li !
boinds In a remarkably short -pace
of time.
A great thai of the machinery In
the mill Is automatic in operation
requiring but supervision In opera
tion. Handling the lumber in ihe
most efficient manner is necessary

Prael ically everything from the
log is utillr.ed with the exception
of the sawdust which is dispoed
of In the huge burner. The hark
and outside portions of ihe lot; are .
used for fuel. The trtiiHuiiigs are '
used for making lath. )
The logs are cut into rough ,
boards in t he mill and I til o t he j
proper length. . The boards then i
pass out on what Is known as the
green chain, much of the lumber'
from Ihe green chain la loaded on '
