September 1, 1911: “The steamer Tillamook came in Friday from Coos Bay bringing three large boilers and other equipment for the saw mill at Point Terrace. The boat went up river Saturday and unloaded the freight at the mill wharf.
Operations which have been suspended at the mill for some time awaiting the arrival of the boilers, were resumed the first of the week and a crew of men are now busy putting the boilers and machinery in place and getting ready for sawing as fast as they can.
It is evidently the intention of the company to have plenty of boiler capacity to furnish steam to run their machinery. They had one boiler in the mill before and brought up three large ones from Coos Bay, which will make four boilers at the plant.” (The West)
