March 23, 1916: "Walt Logus and Conrad Krebs, of Portland, accompanied by a Mr. Griffith, whom it is said anticipates purchasing the Krebs' mill at this place, were in Cloverdale last Sunday. It is to be hoped that if a sale is made the party purchasing has some way of making a success of the mill as the people here want something better than they have had in the past." (Cloverdale Courier)
May 4, 1916: "A force of men are now engaged putting the Kreb's mill in condition to run and it is expected the mill will be in condition to operate early next week. J. M. McIntire & Son, Portland men, are the managers. They have engaged the Messrs. Montgomery & Northoup and also other local help to get the mill in shape.
We understand that the aim of the new concern, aside from the local business, is to make the finished product, such as doors, sash, etc., in order that they can ship to outside points.
We are told they expect to ship 15,000 feet of sized and dressed lumber by the schooner Della very shortly." (Cloverdale Courier)

June 15, 1916: "From the amount of lumber being hauled from the old Krebs mill it can be easily seen that Capt. McIntyre is cutting considerable lumber." (Cloverdale Courier)
June 22, 1916: "About 10 o'clock this morning Arthur Burke, who is employed at the Krebs' mill at this place, while placing logs ready to have them hauled into the mill, slipped from the log on which he was standing and was drowned before he could be rescued. Workmen in the mill saw him fall into the water and immediately went to his rescue. He came to the surface twice, trying his best to swim. Walter Aune, one of the employes of the mill reached the spot where the unfortunate man went down and with the first dive brought him up. Every effort possible at resuscitation was made, men being there that understood just what to do. He had been in the water but a few minutes but could not be revived." (Cloverdale Courier)
September 28, 1916: "It looks as if the Kreb's mill was leaving on the installment plan. Today two men from the American Wood Working Machinery Co., of Portland, tearing out the planing machine." (Cloverdale Courier)
