A long span of very heavy timbers was thrown across the creek from pier to pier and securely braced, upon which the high flume was built.

This week the sides of the new flume have been completed by adding another board, and now the flume can carry lumber to its fullest capacity. On the receiving floor an A shaped divider of strong planking has been constructed, which greatly aids in handling the lumber as it drops from the flume.

Eight or ten miles of logging track has already been laid all of which is standard gauge road and of good heavy steel which will stand many years of use by the company. A large mill pond lies east of the mill with a capacity of about a million feet of lumber which is conveniently situated for the benefit of the railroad and the mill.
From the mill pond the giants of the fir forests are carried up the log chute into the mill where they meet the teeth of the huge band saw and from there it goes through the entire mill to be turned out later on the loading docks, the finished lumber ready for the retail yards. The trip thru the mill will be an education to anyone whether they have been thru others or not.
The entire plant is electrically equipped, the company securing their equipment from the Copco there being some sixty or seventy motors in operation in the several departments of the mill.
There should be no one miss the opportunity to view the Glendale Mill on the day of the big jubilee which was sponsored primarily in order to celebrate its opening.” (The Glendale Log)
The Glendale mill has a capacity of 125,000 feet of lumber a day and was erected at an approximate cost of a quarter of a million dollars.

May 9, 1929: “F. R. Cunningham, electrician at the Glendale Lumber Company's mill, had the sad misfortune to get his right foot entangled in the slasher chain with the result that all the toes of that foot were severed. Dr. Fawcett gave first aid to the man and he was taken to Grants Pass where it was found that a part of the foot would have to be amputated. At latest reports he was resting as easily as could be expected.” (The Glendale Log)
May 16, 1929: “Gerald Richards of Oregon City has been employed by the Glendale Lumber Co. to take the place of Roy Cunningham who was injured last week. Mr. Cunninghan is improving nicely and will be brought home from Grants Pass in the near future.” (The Glendale Log)

July 6, 1929: "Construction work on the new big planing mill being built by the Glendale Lumber company, a short distance southeast of the company's new sawmill and near this city, has reached a stage where some of the machinery is now being installed. When completed, this new planing mill will be among the most up-to-date and largest plants of its kind in southwestern Oregon. It will have ample planing and millwork capacity to easily handle all of the lumber output of the new large sawmill which recently commenced operations.
The frame of the main planing mill building is substantially constructed of heavy timbers. The building is 100 feet long by 90 feet wide. Between it and the loading track is a roofed-over loading dock, 40 feet wide and 100 feet long. Extending from this loading dock roof is a 14-foot extension that reaches over the railroad loading track and is of the same length as the roofed-over dock. This will allow as many as three railroad freight cars to be loaded under roof at the same time, and products from the planing mill will go right into cars without being exposed to the weather in handling.
The machinery equipment for the planing mill will consist of several new machines as well as some of the machines now in the old planing mill, which will be dismantled as soon as further progress on the new planing mill will permit transfer of planing operations.
A new Yates high speed planer and matcher equipped with a profiling attachment, with a size capacity of 6 by 15 inches, and a speed capacity of 300 lineal feet per minute, will handle most of the pattern stock such as flooring, ceiling, siding, shiplap, etc. Another Yates planer and matcher, size 6 by 15 inches, and with a capacity of 200 lineal feet per minute will handle some pattern stock but is mainly intended for planing and sizing dimension stock such as 2x4, 2x6, 2x8, etc. A berlin timber sizer, size 14x30 inches, will be used to surface and size the larger sizes of dimension stock and heavy plank, as well as timbers that require planing or sizing. A double surfacer or planer, handling widths up to 30 inches, will be used especially for planing or surfacing pine lumber. For making all sorts of plain and fancy moldings, strips, finish such as casings, etc., a 12-inch molding machine, or sticker as it is more commonly called, will be used. A new band resaw, a table rip saw and a pair of small swing type trimmer saws will also be a part of the planing mill equipment.
A large 80-inch blower will draw and remove the sawdust and shavings from the various machines, the main suction pipe for which is 30 inches in diameter. This blower will discharge the refuse through a 30-inch diameter galvanized steel pipe, 400 feet in length, into a fire where the sawmill refuse is also being burned.
In front of each of the two planers and matchers will be an automatic feed table which will serve to feed the rough lumber into these two high speed machines. Two sets of transfer chains, each 70 feet in length, will deliver the rough lumber to the automatic feed tables and these transfers will be so built and arranged that a unit load of lumber can be directly placed on them by the lumber carriers in use at this plant, and will have a capacity of four loads at a time. The various lumber products as they come from the planers and matchers will be discharged onto a grading table 60 feet in length, equipped with moving chains to carry the lumber which, after being graded and sorted here, will be taken from the grade table and piled into suitable units or packages for the lumber carriers to pick up and carry to either cars or sheds as desired.
The power equipment for the planing mill will consist of electric motors throughout, the same as in the sawmill, and the power will be furnished by the California-Oregon Power Co. A 100-horsepower motor will be required to drive the blower. Each planer and matcher requires two motors, a 75 h.p. and a 30 h.p., one motor to drive the cylinders and sideheads that carry the planing knives and cutting bits and the other motor to drive the roller mechanism that feeds the lumber through these machines. The timber surfacer requires a 40 h.p. motor, while the pine surfacer will require a 75 h.p. motor. A 30 h.p. motor will be connected to the sticker, a 50 h.p. motor to the resaw, a 20 h.p. motor to the ripsaw and the trimsaws will each require a 5 h.p. motor. The various transfer chains will be driven through reduction gears and each set will use a separate motor; one will be 15 h.p. and two will be 10 h.p. motors.
A grinding room, about 20 by 30 feet in size, will be built into one end of the main planing mill building. Here there will be two 5 h.p. motors to operate the grinders used to sharpen the many planer knives and cutting bits that will be used when this plant is in full operation.
Lumber carriers of a type that straddle the load they pick up and carry, and can straddle anything from a timber to a unit load or package of lumber, are being used to carry lumber from the sawmill to the yard and from the yard to the planing mill and again from the planing mill to cars or to place of storage. A unit of package load, so called, is about 4 1/2 feet wide and varies in height from a few inches up to 60 inches. These unit loads contain anywhere from a few feet up to 5000 feet, board measure, of lumber. The planing mill building and the covered docks and sheds are built with 16 feet overhead clearance so these carriers can be readily driven in and out these buildings. As these carriers can be driven anywhere on the docks and platforms, and will turn in a limited space, they furnish an efficient and rapid means of moving lumber from place to place about the mill and yard.
A considerable area of docks and platforms remains to be built on the front or receiving side of the planing mill, in order to connect it with the yard, before the planing mill can be put into full operation, and which is expected to be completed sometime the latter part of the summer. In the meantime a portion of the new planing mill will be placed in operation within a few weeks.
The construction work on this new planing mill is under the direct supervision of C. F. Neipert. As soon as the plant is ready for operation, Al Farrell, formerly with the Western Lumber Co. at Westfir, Oregon, will be the foreman in charge.
The plans of the Glendale Lumber company also include a battery of dry kilns and dry sheds yet to be built, according to A. A. Snyder, the company's president and general manager." (The News-Review)
