Dollar, vice-president, and A. M. Crawford, secretary. The company will have its main offices in Portland, with the operating office at River Mill.
The mill is to be electrically operated throughout and will be equipped with live rolls, power feed works. It will have a cutting capacity of 50,000 feet in eight hours.
The logs which will be manufactured into lumber will be obtained from, the trees which have been cut along the P. R. L. & P. Co.'s extension work on the upper Clackamas river, of which there are about 30,000,000 feet." (Eastern Clackamas News)

January 10, 1924: "A distressing accident occurred at the mill of the Electric Lumber & Manufacturing Co. at River Mill, last Saturday afternoon. While Elmer Crozier was running the edger saw the sawdust in the elevator became clogged and he tried to clean it with a stick in his left hand. While doing this the teeth of the saw caught his fingers and dragged his hand in, cutting it off above the wrist, and also slicing his coat and badly lacerating his forearm. He bore the pain stoically and was immediately brot to Dr. Midfords office who dressed the wound and took him to St. Vincent's hospital at Portland, where it was found necessary to amputate his arm a few inches from the elbow. He is reported as doing well.
Elmer Crozier had only been working at this mill a short time and is the son of L. J. Crozier, who lost some fingers and part of a hand in a mill last summer." (Eastern Clackamas News)
