CONIFER LUMBER COMPANY
October 7, 1926: “The Conifer Lumber Company shipped a car of pine lumber to Rock Island, Ill. Last week for C. Hagen of the Panther Butte Mill. Very little of our lumber goes that far east.” (The Glendale News)
September 20, 1928: “WANTED---Partner with $2000.00 to join us in purchase and operation of saw mill and planer. Address, Conifer Lumber Company, Glendale, Oregon.” (The Glendale Log)
March 28, 1929: “Messers. Stevenson and Jackson of the Conifer Lumber company appeared at the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, Monday evening of last week and outlined their plans for the erection of a planing mill plant at Glendale for the surfacing of the output of the small saw mills in Glendale territory. They have been acting as selling agents for these mills for the past three years. During this time they have built up a successful business and have substantially increased the average selling price of the lumber produced by the small mills. Mr. Stevenson has been engaged in the sale and manufacture of lumber on the Pacific coast for many years. Mr. Jackson was formerly employed by the Lystul-Lawson Lumber company of this city. Their combined experience should qualify them to make a success of this new enterprise. There are 12 of the smaller saw mills in Glendale territory and a planing mill would be of great advantage to such mill owners by furnishing them a ready sale for their rough items of the lumber for which there is a limited market and for which prices are low. Such a plant would also encourage other mill operators to locate here which would result in a larger payroll and increased prosperity to Glendale. Such planing mill plants are in successful operation at other points in Oregon and we believe this enterprise should have the full support of this community.
We are advised that a site for the proposed plant, adjoining the Southern Pacific railroad tracks in Glendale, has already been leased.
The Conifer Lumber company is taking steps to incorporate its business and will offer a limited amount of Preferred Stock for sale upon terms whereby the subscribers will receive an annual dividend of 8 per cent and in addition will share in a substantial portion of the net profits of the corporation. We are informed that a number of the mill owners are purchasing stock in the new company and with a small investment on the part of the residents of Glendale, the success of the new enterprise seems assured.” (The Glendale Log)

May 29, 1930: “George H. Jackson sold his interest in the Conifer Lumber Company to his partner, H. S. Stevenson on Friday of last week. Mr. Stevenson will continue the business as before. This company has been acting as selling agents for a number of the small saw mills here for the past four years.

July 24, 1930: “The Conifer Lumber Company purchased the Otto Stephens mill equipment and about 300,000 feet of lumber in yard last week.

The new owners of the mill announce they will commence operating to capacity as soon as necessary alterations and improvements are made. They state that their output will be 15,000 to 20,000 feet per day.” (The Glendale Log)

One of the Items stolen was a logging block weighing nearly 200 pounds." (The News-Review)
