KENDALL LUMBER co.
One of Western Maryland's
Largest Industries.

In special industrial edition, pro-
fusely ILLUSTRATED issued by the Meyers
dale Republican last week, the following
relative to one of Western Maryland's
largest industries, appeared:
For quarter of century the name
Kendall has been intimately associated
with the timber, logging end lum Der
interests of Pennsylvania. Maryland,
West Virginia, the Carolinas, and
practically IL of the territory cast of
Chicago.
Commencing in small way the bust
ness of the company has grown st adj
ly until today it embraces extensive
holdings in Pennsylvania. Maryland,
West Virginia and other states.
At the present time the company is
actively engaged at its mill in Donora,
South Carolina, from which it makes
large shipments of the famous Southei n
yellow pine and other timber to many
Northern and even Canadian points.
A mill formerly operated at Kendall,
Md. and another at Ohiopyle, Pa, have
been dismantled. the timber in those
sections all have been cut some years
ago. The company largest operations
at present are at Crelin, Maj y,and,
where in 1905, it brought all the timber
holdings, property and mill of the Pres
ton Lumber and Coal Company, On
Oakland, Maryland. coucetu hat had
been successfully operating in that dis
trlct for ten years prior to disposi"g of
its holdings to the Kendall Lumber
Company.
This.one property consists of 40
mile standard gauge railroad known as
the Preston Railroad, and which the
company has pushed fOi ward from time
to time to keep pace with its logging
operations. 1t connects with the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroads main line at
Hutton. Md, point about three miles
distant from the company's sawmill and
mill town of Crellin. The rolling stock
and equipment of the road are designed
to meet all the requirements of the
logging operations and coal industry
located alongsthe line, and it is of sub
stantial construction and standard
gauge.
Some idea of the extent of the COM
pany's holdings may be gained from
knowledge of the fact that although
the mill has been in operation for al
most quarter of century, with q
daily capacity of 10000 feet of lumber
on 10-hour run, there still remains
enough timber tokeep the mill in opera

ing its particular uses to which it is
adapt0d almost exclusively.
The location of the mill at the con-
fiueuce of Snowy Creek with the Yough-
ioghney River is most advantageous for
the compaDy'S operations, and the rail-
road logging switch runs directly to a
dam in the Youghiogheny, in which the
logs are lmpounded Until hauled to the
saws by an endless cham operated by
steam power. The mill has a daily
capacity of 80, 900 feet of lumber, ard
operates an foot 14-inch band saw for
one carriage and 72lnch circular saw
for the other carriage. The carriages
can handle 36-foot log and are so con-
structed that the crews can change OPP
erajions from a circular saw to a BIZ nd
saw IN minutes if the occasion re-
quires, although usually the saws Pre
UOlu III COllSlduL UpGIdL' OU.
The mill proper covers an area of
l50X60 feet and is two stories in height,
with power plant and boiler room near
by, end filing room for both band and
circular saws located conveniently to
both saws. The filing rooms, like the
balance of the equipment are up to
date in every particular, the filing ma
chimes being operated by steam power
with their individual engines.
The boiler room is cquipncd with
three uplight boilers OF improved type,
while in the enging room Is installed a
400-h .. John d. Newell engine for
operating he planer in case the mill
should be shut down and al engine for
operating the dynamo, the company
having installed its own electric plant
for lighting the mill and the town. In
equipment the mill embraces all of the
most approved mechanical appliances
known to the mill trade. Live rolls,
worm rells and endless chains which
operate with almost human skill and in
telligence, reduce the manual labor in
cidental to operating to a minimum.
From the gigantic saws the live rolls
carry the lumber to a modern Allis-
Chalmers edger, the rough slabs being
switched to a "hog" machine that
grinds them into saw dust, which fur
nishes fuel for the boilers. Nearby is
a lath machine that turns out $4,000
lath daily, while installed close by an.
other machine known as squarer tul rs
out pieces 2x2 for balusters, stair rods
etc. With lumber bringing the present
prices, nothing is allowed to go 70 waste
in modern mill, and the Kendall plant
has a slab resaw installed, an ingenious
machine that takes scrap lumber anc
transforms it into boards suitable fot
, c-orS for coke cars. This lumber other
wise would be wasted.
