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.
