. Canadian forest industries 1903. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. June, 1903 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN '3. Pacific Coast Lumbfr Company, Vancouver—Planing Mill. self. In the log end of the^mill are a heavy log haul-up rig, a powerful drag saw, built to special order by the Albion Iron Works, Van- couver, a power bolter, two knee bolters, a shingle bolt conveyor and cut-off rig. Either logs or shingle bolts are used. From this end the blocks are conveyed upstairs to the shingle machines, which were made by the Schaake Machine Works, of New Westminster. From these machines the finished shingles drop into bins, where they are sorted as to grades and bunched by a carefully trained corps of packers. The bunches are then placed on the kiln cars, which pass close alongside the packing room the full length of the mill, and with loads of 100,000 shingles on each, these cars are passed down a slightly inclined track and into the dry kiln ; when sufficiently dry, again passed along by gravity to the railway car for shipment, or unloaded in a large storehouse capable of hold- ing about fifteen million shingles. More than ordinary care has been given to tne boiler house, which is 52 x 80 feet, situated midway between the saw and shingle mills,.
