KLAMATH PINE LUMBER COMPANY
Klamath Falls
March 17, 1921: "The Klamath Pine lumber company, organized in July, last year, is one of the many mills and factories in this county which is preparing to begin work with a full force in April, and with the lumber market gaining in strength, demand, and price as the season progresses, the company is looking forward to what they term a 'fairly normal year.'
This company is offered by local men. George Ulrich is president, Oscar Peyton, vice president; O. D. Burke, treasurer, and L. M. Martin, secretary. E. W. Doe, a man of wide lumbering experience, is general manager for the company.
The company mill is located on Upper Klamath lake, adjoining the Pelican Bay Lumber company's holdings on the north, and is so situated that it is withing easy hauling distance of the Weed, Kirk and Strahorn branches of the railroad. It is served by the Hanks spur of the Southern Pacific.
At this time, the company has about 1,000,000 feet more cut and lying in the woods near Odessa, ready to be taken to the mill. In addition to this, the company has about 10,000,000 standing feet, and is now negotiating for about that much more excellent timber close to its present holdings.
The mill cut about 200,000 feet of lumber last October, but it was used for their own construction, no effort having been made to sell any any of it. A centrifugal pump is now being worked steadily draining the pond near the mill, and as soon as this work is done, a crew of about 30 men, single shift, will be put to work. The company wisely built its mill so that it could be enlarged easily, and if necessary the capacity can be doubled. The present capacity is 50,000 feet in eight hours.
Electrically driven, and modern in every respect, this mill is ideal from both owners' and workman's standpoint, and is conceded to be a splendid addition to Klamath county's industrial establishments. No necessary expense was spared in its construction.
When the company's logging camps are in full operation, from 40 to 50 men are employed. A logging crew has been employed all winter." (The Evening Herald)
