Is carried along the runways by end
less chain systems, into the long sort
ing shed adjoining the sawmill. It
lis 81 by $50 feet long, and the sorted
lumber is dropped from this shed onto
the cars, which carry it either to the
yards or to the planning mill.
Where the Lumber Is Dressed.
The planning mill stands back from
the sawmill, with a big storage wa
ter tank between, for use in cases Of
fire. This planning mill is 80 feet by
zoo, and Is equipped with set Of
surfacers and resaws, whose descrip-
ton would be Greek to the uninitiated.
The mill has a capacity Of forty cars
a day, and has it's own power plant,
but the steam Is transmitted to the
planning mills engine from the sawmill
boilers, thru an eight-inch pipe. Across
the spur track from the planning mill
Is big dressed lumber shed, a hun
drad feet square, and thirty-six feet
high, the second story Of which Is used
as a storage-honse for shavings. These
are kept dry, and are sold down
town to, business blocks, which use
them for making steam. There is
large output all tho year round from
the box and compo board factories,
and line Of fifteen teams Is kept
busy hauling this. fuel In great vans

toners
"Ehoolrs" by the Million.
It is not generally known that one
OF the largest box factories In the
west Is a side Issue at the plant Of
the c.. A. Smith Lumber company, but
such is the case. A nailed-up box
never goes out Of the factory, but It
turns out every year millions of
"sho oks, as they are called, small
boards sawed thin and all ready to
be nailed UP into boxes. These are tied
UP in parcels and marked, so that the
consumer has only to nail them up.
Being shipped in this form, they 20
at the same rates as lumber, and are
sent to great distances. This plant is

and turned out a finished product
sought for and shipped thousands of
miles away.
With all this careful economy there
Is also economy In labor, reached by
the most up-tO-date labOr-Savtng de-
vices, arranged in logical system. The
development Of this model plant to
its present size and efficiency tells an
interesting story, which explains the
present pre-eminence of the c. A.
Smith Lumber company in the lum-
Der industry of the northwest
The traveller in remote parts of Ne
braska, Iowa, Dakota and Illinois will
see car after car bearing the label
of the G. A. Smith Lumber company,
loaded with white pine lumber. Jour
neying to the far east, he will still
see along the track In the freight
yards train loads of cars with the
same sign. All this comes from the
great plant at Camden Place, which,
because Of it's diversified machinery
and the great volume of its manufac-
tured product, Is equipped to fill an
order of any size and assortment that
ability to fill orders has given 1t a
trade in faraway centers, where
otherwise Minneapolis lumber would
not be seen.
Broke the Saving Record.
For the last five years this estab-
lishment has placed on the markets
Of the United States an average Of
100000 feet of lumber each year.
This season has broken all records
for Minneapolis, with a cut Of be-
tween 100000 and 120,000,000.
Night and day, from the day in April
when the ice cleared away and the
logs were released, to the November
day, when the grip of the ice king
once more descends on the river, the
untiring. saws and their army of at
PENDANTS, scarcely less tireless. rip the
huge logs and dress them into lum-
Der of every description.
A brief account of this great plant
will be interesting to the general read

is large timber owner, holding
white pine stumpage in northern Min
nesota sufficient to run the mill sew
en- or eight years. Most Of the logs
can be f1oated down the Mississippi.
but a considerable number will be
brought down by rail- It is thought
that the high water mark of produce
ton has been seen this year, and that
the cut of the mill will be reduced
in the succeeding seasons. Mr.. Smith
is IN no hurry to see the northern
woods denuded, or to put his splendid
plant out of commission, so the mill
will not operate under such pressure
another season. Heretofore two crews
have been run all the saving season,
working eleven hours. 1t is likely that
only q day crew will be run next year
and in succeeding years, and in this
way the life of the plant here will be
considerably prolonged.
But the final reduction of the Mtns

Smith Lumber company will not end
it's career as lumber producing COM
pany. by any means. 1t will then en-
ter on another lease Of life in a new
field, already secured by the long
headed president of the company In
the last four years he has been buy
rg UP timber lands in the Pacific
4
and California, until the C. A. Smith
Lumber company is now one of the
largest holders Of timber property in
those two states rich as that section is
In forest resources. The forest tracts
held in California and Oregon include
splendid growths Of redwood, sugar
pine, fir and cedar. They are abso-
lutely untouched, and will be for years
to come. No move will be made to
cut this timber, says Mr.. Smith, until
he begins to see el28zE7sld of produce
ton for them in Minnesota. Then he
will begin to establish sawmill plants
adjacent to the western timber. and
turn out western lumber for the mar
ket. In that new field the G. A.
Smith Lumber company will be a nat
Iural leader, as it is here, not only on
account of the size of its holdings but
because Of the enterprise and fore
sight Of its guiding mind, Charles a.

into the hardware store, and worked
for Governor Pillsbury till 1878.
In that year the partnership OF G.
A. Smith & Co. was formed, and G. A.
Smiths life in the business world thus
dates from almost the same time as
the first issue Of T h e u n a ]. Gov
ernor Pillsbury was the CO." and it
was an even partnership between
them. Mr.. Smith went to Hermann.

Of the Great Northern, and there built
grain elevator. He dealt in grain
and farm machinery, and conducted q
ing that time he branched out some-

was ready to take advantage Of an
offer that came from Governor Pills
bury in 1884. Having loaned money
to some loggers who were unable to
pay, the governor suggested that Mr..
Smith help him take the logs and
manufacture them into lumber. So G.
A. Smith & Co. took the logs, had
them sawed at custom mills, and put
them on the market, establishing a
wholesale business. They handled TO-
100000 to 100000 feet a year In
this way.
Rose From the Fire.
In 1887 the company decided to own
its own mill, and bought that OF the
John Martin Lumber company, one
Of the water power mills on the East
Side. They had only been running
this mill two months, however, when
a disastrous fire came and destroyed
it, along with four other mills. AS
they had logs on hand, he at once
made arrangements with Fred Ste
vens of the Plymouth mill to saw for
them, and business was continued on
this basis until 1890. Then. still as
ISOLATED with Governor Pillsbury, he
bought a two-thirds interest in the
the East Side, from the Clough Broth
ers. The mill ran for two years un-
der this ownership, and was then
They then sold out to the Nelson
Tenney company, and had an ar
rangement with them to saw tho logs
of G. A. Smith & Co. during the sea-
son of 1892.
At the close Of that season the G.
A. Smith Lumber company was in
corporated, with a paid up capital Of
$75O,000, and during 1898 it built a
mill at the present location. It start
ed in as a two band and gang mill,
and has since increased to the equip
ment already described.

lumber producing center OF the United
States, prestige that will b. main
tanned for years to come.
A visit to the city Is noe complete
without a tour up the river into the
well-known lumber district" which is
a great manufacturing center by It
self, Vast piles of lumber line the
route for four miles, from the down.
town railroad yards to the extreme end
of the street car line at Camden Place.
Huge smoke stacks dot the horizon
here and there, betokening ENTER
prises Of great pith and moment
Logs choke the current OF the river;
blocks upon blocks of territory are
covered with millwood; teams hauling
huge truck loads of sawdust follow
each other in long lines. The strident
note of the band saw salutes the ear
with nronotonous regularity. and In
summer time the very air Is laden
with the pleasant Whit Of freshly
sawed lumber. .
The sightseer off for the sawm1ll
district is always advised to see the
c. A. Smith MILL" and he goes past
the miles and miles of lumber yards
and smokestacks until he reaches the
very jumping-off place, the end of the
street car line. The trip is we'll worth
while, for at Camden Place IS the
largest sawmill plant In the city of
Minneapolis. and one that Is besides
unique in its methods Of production.
No other manufacturing industry In
the city presents such an example of
thrift and economy in material. In
it's many devices for using the whole
of the raw material, the G.. A. Smith
mill reminds one Of a modern pack
ing-house plant, or a Standard Oil
refinery.
Economy Of Material.
Experienced lumbermen say that no
other mill in the United States comes
so near utilizing the entire log, and
Frederiksstad. Norway. who visited the
city on a globe trotting expedition last
spring, declared that the G. A. Smith
mill approached the economical
methods of their Norwegian lumber
mills closer than anything else they
had seen since leaving home. Economy
of material Is the tendency Of the
white pine lumbermen In these lat
ter days, when the forests Of the north
are thinning, the price Of logs and
white pine lumber steadily advancing,
and 1t has come to point where 1t
pays the manufacturer to take time
and extra machinery In order to get
out Of log all that Is possible. In
the old days the only question was
how to saw logs up. into lumber at
the least expense. Now economy Of
production and economy Of material
must go hand in hand.
In4lthis new movement the G. A.
Smith Lumber company has been set
ting the pace for several years, and
it Is now turning out line Of high
grade by-products that is great rev.
enue producer. Lumbermen from east,
south and west have made long jour
neys to study the system and profit by
its example. In this plant even the
