Additional Details:
We visited this plant in Lewiston, Idaho, today. It has the largest pine sawmill in the world, capable of cutting about 400,000 board feet of Idaho White Pine every eight hours. This company manufactures the famous Weyerhauser 4 Square exact length lumber, also Western Red Cedar Poles, and Pres-to-logs, a new wood fuel made of clean dry shavings. We are told that Potlatch Forests Inc., is a "tree farming" operation, cutting only the large, mature trees for lumber and leaving the smaller ones to grow for another "crop." Lewiston is a city of 12,000 and the site of the State Normal School. The plant we saw employs 900 men and with its logging operations has a payroll of about $2,500,000 a year.
