April 30, 1920: “The latest news in the way of new enterprises for the lower Siuslaw, is that a new sawmill is soon to be built across the river from Florence, in our sister town Glenada.
The men behind the enterprise are A. S. Weaver of Springfield and Lester Luckey of Seattle, Wash. They have made several trips to this section and have decided to locate their mill on the river front in Glenada near the old porter warehouse.
They have purchased a mill near Cottage Grove and will move the machinery to Glenada. They have a contract for sawing 400,000 feet of lumber at the present location and this work must be done before the mill is moved.
The men were here the first of the week and left for Portland to buy a couple of donkey engines to use in their logging camps.
The Armstrongs have a contract for logging and are to commence operations at once. We did not learn whether they would start their camp in the timber at Glenada or up South Slough.” (The West)
