The new organization, which was incorpor- ated in 1906, steadily outgrew its facilities, and it was evident that a plant of large proportions would be necessary to meet the demand for the company's products. The old plant was taken over by the Canadian Northern Railway for the site for their new terminal station and freight sheds, and the Evans Company secured for a new site about four acres adjoining the tracks of the Canadian Pacific and the Manitoulin & North Shore Railroads. The erection of the new plant was started in August, 1908, and by Christmas time it was in partial operation. Since that time it has been fully completed. The layout of the entire plant is governed by the 50- foot space clause required by the fire underwriters, the mill being 50 feet from all lumber, and the lumber being kept 50 feet from the railroad tracks. The lumber is arranged with 18-foot alleyways between each pile, the piles having a 36-foot breast. Situated in the foreground is the commodious brick office building, which is fitted up with all the latest office devices. Behind the office are the shipping and glazing rooms. The lumber shed in connection with the mill has few if any equals in this country. It is 54 x 150 feet, double decked, with a team-way in the centre. The lower decks are racked for roofings, cements, dressed lumbers, etc., and the upper decks for mouldings, sash, doors, turnings, etc. The entire plant, including the mill, office and lumber shed, it roofed with Paroid roofing. The planing mill, which is 80 x 80 feet, is equipped with a 4-sided jobbing planer and matcher of Cowan make, one Berlin flooring ma-. F. H.
