The John Carew Co. also have a well-equipped machine shop and blacksmith shop for the making of repairs. The filing room is fitted with Waterous filing machinery, which is motor driven, with steam connection as an auxiliary. The mill is set. on 12-foot cedar posts on cement abutments, the basement being 12 feet high. All shafting, pulleys, belts, etc., below the main floor of the mill. The logs, after ascending the jack ladder, reach the log deck, which possesses steam kickers, loaders and nigger. There is in the mill a Wm, Hamilton, three-block carriage, hand set, and operated by a Waterous twin engine, steam feed, while all the sawing is done on a eight-foot "Waterous double-cutting band mill, with a 12-inch blade. All slabs go through a Diamond horizontal band resaw, which will saw cants up to 7 inches in thickness and 30 inches in width. The Process Through the Mill The regular lumber passes through a Waterous double edger, Avhich is 50 inches wide and fitted with four saws. Any log less than eight inches is split in the middle and sent to the resaw, while the larger ones are cut up entirely on the band saw. Small stuff thus goe:< over to the resaw and any slabs good for converting into boards, travel on live rolls and circle back to the resaw, so that practically no ma- terial is wasted. The lumber next moves on live rolls and transfers to two saw trimmers, while the slabs drop on to a Long slasher equipped with five saws, each 36 inches in diameter. The slabs and edgings fall into a trough and suitable ones are picked out for lath, this department having installed in it a Payette bolter and lath machine. Slabs not adapted for lath go on to a smaller slasher and are cut up into the required length for f
