May 1919: "Day Logging Co., Westlake, which has about seven million feet of spruce in the water, is planning to erect a small mill to convert the logs. A site along the Coos Bay branch of the Southern Pacific has been leased. The company is owned by the Silverton Lumber Co., Silverton, Ore., and was engaged in supplying logs to the paper mills at Oregon City. The increase in log rates over the Southern Pacific made it impossible to complete the delivery of the material." (The Timberman, v.20)
