May 22, 1905: "Lee J. Taylor, of Snohomish, and George Taylor, of Seattle, Wash., have purchased the sawmill of Courts & Church, located on Row River, 12 miles east of here (Cottage Grove), and on the line of the Oregon & Southeastern railroad. The mill has a capacity of 25,000 feet of lumber per day. With this plant they also secured several million feet of choice fir timber near the mill. The men are old and experienced lumbermen, having operated in Wash., for many years. The mill will be started at once, to cut large orders they have already secured. There is some rumor of other timber and mill deals, but nothing definite has taken shape." (Roseburg Plaindealer)
