CANADA 'M AND WOODWORKER William Price, President The logs cut on the Rivers L'Abbe, Ecorces, Morin and Pik- auba are boomed in Lake Keno- gami at the mouth of the Pikauba and are rafted across to the Riv- iere aux Sables and then floated down to the mills. The logs com- ing in by rail from Lake St. John are skidded from the cars and hauled into the wood preparing room by the same bull chains as the floated logs. Coming up side- ways in bunches, they run against the ''slashers," which cut them in- to two feet lengths and drop them on to conveyors, and very quick- ly now they begin to lose their identity as wood. Along both sides of the room are the barkers, thirty of them, made by the Waterous Engine Works Company, Brantford, Ont., and run in sets of two by motors. They are fed continuously and conveniently by a system of endless chains. On one side of the room the conveyors for the barked blocks run to the block sluice and on to the grinder room or piling ground as required. On the other side the conveyor is reversible, going sometimes to the sluice and sometimes to the chippers. There are two chippers and crushers com- bined, made by Baker & Shevlin Company, of Saratoga, , and these shred up the blocks into small pieces suitable for use in the sulphite mill digesters. The chips are screened in a Ryther & Pringle screen and conveyed by belt to the chip loft in the digester house. This loft is made of concrete and is fireproof, which is something of a novelty in paper mill construction. There are two digesters made by the Portland Company, each approximately 12 feet internal diameter and with a combined capacity of fifty tons a day. The centrifugal pumps are made by the Lawrence Pump Company, and other pumps by Smart Turner & Company, of Hamilton. The acid tower, as may be seen from the illustra
