Smith Wood-Product» to* « Build Plywood Plant .Continued from Page O m ) feet wide, is being built between the old storage shed and the new mill site, all of Port Orford cedar. The sawmill is to be 75x159 feet, in size with an adjacent building for reman ufacturing. The new sawmill will be a lO-foot band mill, with 12x72 edger, and gang saws will be installed in the re manufacturing plant for the cutting of flooring and other vetrical grain lumber. Both these buildings, as are all operations on the property, will be under roof. A TO-foot burner is to be installed between the new mill and the ply wood plant, near the river. Adjacent to the sawmill will be a new boiler house in which will be installed a 800 h. p. Stirling boiler, an exact duplicate of the one just in stalled in the power house. A stack will also be necessary here which may be entirely of concrete. A large new turbine generator, 2000 kilowatts, was received yester day and will be installed at once. When ready it will carry practically all the load of the old plant as well as all of the new ones. The foundations for the turbine were poured a couple of weeks ago. With the 1000 kilowatt generator now in use the Smith plant is pretty well equipped with power, and all of their machinery is electrically driven. It is expected that the roof of the new retail yard shed which is 170x200 feet, between the highway and the railroad, will be put on next week.
