A. G. LAIS SAWMILL
Molalla
October 27, 1927: "Fire of undetermined origin destroyed the A. G. Lais sawmill seven mile south of here (Molalla) yesterday, while the owner and his sons, Bert and Ralph, were in the mountains hunting deer. A loss of $10,000 was suffered. No information regarding insurance was available. Lais had recently installed considerable new machinery. This and some lumber were destroyed with the mill." (Oregon City, Enterprise)
