August 25, 1949: "Fire of undetermined origin destroyed the Golden Gate Lumber company, eight miles above Blue River on the McKenzie river highway early Thursday morning. Discovered shortly after 1 a.m., the blaze threatened for a time the surrounding cottages of mill workers and about 300 acres of cutover land behind the mill.
Loss was estimated Thursday morning at about $20,000 by Nat Giustina of Giustina Lumber company. Giustina had leased the mill for the past two years to Golden Gate, owned by James Jones of Eugene. The property was not insured and there was no indication Thursday whether or not the mill will be rebuilt." (The Capital Journal)
