Upon the completion Of the present
plans for the remodeling Of their plant,
the Peshastin Lumber Co., will have
one ofthe best equipped plants in the
county. A new steam engine has
been ordered and will be installed in
the box factory due to the fact that
former arrangement Of the saw mill
and factory were handicapped by lack
Of power. Among other machinery is
a new 6x30 planer' of the latest Berlin
type, with capacity Of $4,000 feet in
ten hours. The horizontal band re-
saw will be operated at an increased
capacity and will require an additional
crew to run it as consequence. A
log loader will be installed in the saw
mill greatly facilitating and saving time.
The company is greatly gratifed to
learn that the Wenatchee Valley Fruit
Growers Association has decided that
the standard apple box will be after
the pattern made by the Peshastin
Lumber Co. While the Fruit Crow
ers' Association is one OF the largest
dealers in boxes it is by no means ca
pable Of using the entire output,
boxes Of different kinds than those
used in the fruit business are made at
the plant. At present there is con-
siderable logging being done at the
company's camps and over one mil
lion feet Of saw logs will be- in the
pond at the commencement Of opera
tons on or before April first.A
