I 2 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN June, 1903. arranged that horses are not required about the mill. The planing mill is about 100 feet from the saw mill and is 72 x 120 feet, two stories high. It is equipped throughout with wood-working tools made by the Berlin Machine Works, Beloit, Wis., and is a model in every respect. The ground floor is given to flooring machines, moulders, lumber trimming devices, a six inch re-saw and a sixty inch double drum sander, the latter machine being the first of its kind in the province, and with it the company will Pacific Coast Lumber Company, Vancouver—Saw Mill. sand-finish their flooring, ceiling and such in- side finish as can be sanded. This will be a boon to builders and contractors, as it will do away with the necessity for the expensive and laborious work of hand dressing and sand papering of interior finish. On the upper floor of the planing mill, which is on a level with the sawing floor of the saw mill, the green lumber planers are placed, in- cluding the heavy, four-sided timber planer, and with a minimum of handling, heavy timbers or other lumber that is dressed without being kiln dried are planed and passed out on the elevated tramway to the railway car or pile. Close by the planing mill, the lumber storage sheds are situated. These are 40 x 350 feet, and on either side of this building are railway sidings, so that lumber can be passed on from the planing mill iust as readily to either the railway car or storage shed as may be required. The shingle mill is an entirely separate plant and occupies a building about 200 feet west of the saw mill, and is a good sized industry in it-.
