January 5, 1900: "Lost Lake Lumber Co.: "We established our plant here about six months ago, and haven't as yet gotten fairly started with our work. Our plant cost $100,000, and has a capacity of 20,000 feet per hour, or 400,000 for a 22 hour run. We expect to be running at full capacity by February 1st, and to turn out 200,000 feet of lumber in a daylight run. Most of our lumber goes east over the O. R. & N., Oregon Short Line, and the Union Pacific railroads. The outlook in the lumber market is very fair." (Hood River Glacier)
