ca. 1925. Another view of Defiance Lumber Company with smoke jutting from its stack, circa 1925. Commencement Bay furnished the company with its log pond. The logs were dragged up the incline to the great 14-inch band saw which worked at high speed and had a capacity of 150,000 feet in each eight hours. The huge planks were then run over rollers to the re-saws, where slabs and scraps dropped down to a lower level and were carried by chain conveyors into the jaws of a battery of cut-off saws that turn them into firewood. The good lumber passed on out into the yard and was graded and separated into its proper classification. (TNT 8/10/1927) (filed with Argentum)
