. Canadian forest industries 1907. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. September, 1907 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 2 ! ing the south side of this building, about the centre, is the engine and boiler house wing, which is 40 x 60 feet. Back of this again is the lath mill wing, 24 x 24 feet. On the north side, near the front, is the filing room wing, 20 x 30 feet. The mill is equipped with a double cut Hamilton steam tension band mill, with 8- foot wheels, carrying 12 inch Simonds saws. The log deck is complete with steam operat- ed niggers, loaders and kickers. The carriage is a three block, gunshot feed carriage of Hamilton manufacture. Back of the band mill, and somewhat to the left, is a 5-saw "Garland" edger. There are live rolls feed- ing the lumber to the edger, and transfer chains carrying it from the edger to the trim- mers. Leaving the trimmers, the lumber drops automatically on to live rolls and is conveyed a distance of about 200 feet to the sorting table, which is 125 feet long. The upper grades are there sorted off onto rollers, thence on to "roll-off" wagons and conveyed to the piling grounds. The lower grades, consisting of dimension, shiplap and common boards, are sorted off the sorting table on to friction chains, which are operated at will by the planer men. There are three planers in use for handling this lumber, one planer be- ing located at each end of the friction chains, the material being dressed while green. The planing mill proper, where the better grade lumber is planed and finished after it has been air dried, is located about 25 feet away. This building covers an area of 36 x 64 feet, and contains two matchers, one sticker, rip saw and band re-saw, besides the usual smaller machinery. The planers are fit- ted up complete with blower and separator systems. The product of the company's mills at Cranbrook and Ryan is also finished up here. The power plant of the
