DILLEY SAWMILL (W. M. McLEOD)

Washington County - Dilley

January 20, 1900: "W. M. McLeod has leased his sawmill at Dilley to Portland men, who have contracted to have delivered at the mill as soon as possible 2,000,000 feet of yellow fir logs and 500,000 feet of ash. These logs are being cut now and will be floated down the Tualatin river, a distance of 10 miles. This mill is well located, and taps a belt of very fine timber, but it has been comparatively idle about three years, and now that operations will commence in a few days a great many people will be benefited thereby. The lessees already have a contract to furnish 1,000,000 feet of first class lumber." (Morning Oregonian)
