Cutting Boxee to Fill Orders
On Hand When the Plant in
Eugene Burned.
Box making became the newest en­
terprise In this city on Monday morn­
ing when Terrill and Voight, former
operators of the Eugene Box factory
which was completely destroyed by
fire about three weeks ago, began cut­
ting box parts at the Loud Planing
mill In the north part of this city.
The plant Is operating this week
with only one cutoff saw and the ca­
pacity of the factory is therefore lim­
ited to the cutting of about 54,009 feet
of lumber per day depending on tbe
sixes of the boxes for which the ma­
terial Is being cut.
Only one corner of the planing mill
Is being utilised for box cutting. Con­
siderable new machinery, which has
been supplemented by some of the
equipment of the planing mill, is be­
ing used. The Load mill does not
cease operations with the moving in
of the box factory. It will continue to
cut and dress lumber to fill all orders,
and will also plane all lumber for the
box makers.
This wood la purchased from var­
ious people In Lane and neighboring
counties. It must be a soft wood which
will permit much nailing without
splitting and must not have a very
strong odor. Most yellow fir cannot
be used because of Its strong odor
and difficulty of driving nails Into
