BEAVER LUMBER COMPANY (DENNIS)
Tillamook County - Cloverdale
August 11, 1914: "L. M. Dennis of Cloverdale is having the necessary piping and iron work done at the Feeney Foundry, for a dry kiln which he is building in connection with his mill at that place." (Tillamook Herald)
March 2, 1916: "L. M. Dennis has purchased the Steve Bauer saw mill at Neskowin and will move the same to the Jeff Fleck place and manufacture cheese boxes." (Cloverdale Courier)
August 17, 1916: "Attachment proceedings were instituted Monday against the Dennis mill on claims for wages. A bond was given Wednesday to release the mill." (Cloverdale Courier)
November 9, 1916: "Fred Beals and Attorney Holmes, of Tillamook, were in Cloverdale yesterday afternoon on business connected with the Dennis mill." (Cloverdale Courier)
November 16, 1916: "E. L. McCabe has been appointed receiver for the Beaver Lumber Co., (M. H. and L. M. Dennis) at this place.
This mill concern has had considerable ups and downs since commencing the manufacture of lumber in Cloverdale and while there has been no end of difficulties encountered Mr. Dennis has bobbed up serenely and proceeded. His motto evidently has been patterned after the story of Jonah and the whale, that 'you can't keep a good man down.'
The end of the present episode is as uncertain as was the presidential election last week Wednesday. The mill is tied up, nailed up and bottled up, and when the cork is pulled only a sightseer will be able to untangle the tangle.
Chas. Ray, the Tillamook County Bank and Fred Beals is said to have first, second and third mortgages, respectively, besides there are several other claims, contracted and implied.
Mr. Dennis appears to be the least concerned in the fight and is taking the affair very coolly." (Cloverdale Courier)
