January 5, 1900: "At Davenport Bros.' planing mill at Haynes Spur there are ten houses occupied by families, the men of whom are employed at the planer and on the flume. The company also has a store building well stocked with goods and provisions. The improvements on the railroad will necessitate a new switch for the lumber yard. A closed board fence has been built along the north side of the right of way of the flume just east of the planer which is intended to keep the sawdust from running over the berry fields at Riverside farm, thus lessening the cost of damage suits."
