COOS WHITE CEDAR MILL
Myrtle Point
April 10, 1924: "Do not get excited the first of the week when you hear the mill whistle. It is only the signal that a new industry is starting in Myrtle Point.
Mr. Howarth the manager, took the editor through the plant today showing him what the crew of millwrights and carpenters have been doing on the repairs since his company took over the plant.
The name of the new enterprise will be the Coos White Cedar Mill. They will start sawing fir Monday or Tuesday for the local trade and for their own use in erecting buildings at the plant.
The capacity of the mill at starting will be 20,000 to 25,000 feet per shift. As soon as possible a dry kiln will be installed and will dry from five to ten thousand feet of lumber per day.
In about 30 days the mill will install a new band saw which will increase the capacity considerably. Later on in the season other departments will be added to the plant, Mr. Howarth stated." (Southern Coos County American)
