The new plant of the Astoria
Flouring Mills company at Astoria,
with a daily capacity of 4000 barrels,
begun operations Tuesday, according
to announcement made Friday by Ed
gar W. Smith, president of the organ
ization. The new mill, which is the fifth
largest in the United States and the
largest single plant west of Minneap
olis, will operate in conjunction with
the present mill of the company,
which has a capacity of 1200 barrels
so that the total capacity of the As
toria company will be 6200 barrels
daily.
Milling engineers have already
pronounced the plant to be one of the
best arranged and equipped plants in
the world. The mill has been located
on the ground of the Port of Astor
ia's municipal terminal and has a
modern elevator, mill buildings,
clearing house, warehouse and dock
as assets.
Some time ago the company made
unique arrangements by cooperating
with the Port of Astoria in establish
ing the mill. An agreement was made
whereby the port built the mill house
and rented it, together with one of
the elevators, a section of the dock,
warehouse and other facilities, to
the milling company.
Through this arrangement it was
decided the tonnage of the port would
not only be increased, but the 1,260,
000 bushel grain elevator built by the
port in 1917 would also be put to
greater use.
The mill will employ 150 men and
it will be possible to empty the leva
tor from five to six times a year.
