June 23, 1921: "The Demaris Brothers saw mill was burned to the ground last night, nothing being saved but the boiler and engine room.
But a small amount of lumber was lost however, the total finished product destroyed being about 6,000 feet.
The mill was in normal condition at about 10:30 when the last truck returned from Prineville where they but before midnight the mill was in flames and was quickly destroyed.
The mill was cutting on contract for the Tum A Lum Company, and about 760,000 feet of logs are in the timber ready to be sawed. The mill will perhaps be rebuilt soon." (Crook County Journal)
