Clatsop County - Warrenton

February 23, 1908: "A fine lumber plant closely allied with the interests of Astoria, is that of the D. L. Kelly Lumber Company, at Warrenton, six miles west of this city on the bay shore, of which D. L. Kelly is the head and F. G. Kelly is manager, with Dan Malarkey, the younger, as superintendent.
The concern not only maintains its fine sawmill and planing mill at Warrenton, but operates its own shingle mill there, and at Westport; with retail yard at Seaside, and an extensive logging camp at Clifton. The plant is estimated to be worth $75,000, and has a daily output of 40,000 feet of lumber and 75,000 shingles per day, and cuts 10,000,000 feet of logs per annum. It keeps 55 hands going the year round and has a payroll of $4000 per month.
Its shipments are made almost exclusively by rail, though it does forward some of its product coastwise in vessels, with San Francisco as its main market. It is a strictly modern plant and rates high in these sources of supply the whole coast over." (The Morning Astorian)
