PENINSULA LUMBER MILL
Multnomah County - Portland
June 14, 1920: "The Peninsula lumber ill here, now producing 100,000,000 feet of lumber a year, will just double its capacity when expansion already in progress is completed. Three thousand lineal feet of bulkheading 40 feet wide now surround a tract that is being filled by a suction dredge. Upon this site will be built a complete new unit comprising a sawmill, planing mill, dry kiln and dock for ocean-going vessels." (Ashland Daily Tidings)
May 4, 1921: "Two boilermakers working for the Peninsula Lumber company plant here almost cooked to death at 3 this morning when live steam under pressure was suddenly forced into the boiler in which they were working. The men are hovering between life and death at the hospital. They had been working throughout the night, in order to have the steam apparatus working in time for the day shift lumber mill. Engineers, not knowing that the men were in the boiler, opened the valves without investigating. The injured men are C. L. Senter ans P. A. Hicks." (Ashland Weekly Tidings)
