January 2, 1901: "The Prineville Planing Mill is one of the most prominent manufacturing industries of Crook county. This plant has turned out all the planing mill work that has entered into the construction of every building in Prineville and vicinity for the past two years. The owner and proprietor, John B. Shipp, as well as being a finished architect and mechanic, is thoroughly familiar with every branch of business done by this large concern. This mill has a capacity of 15,000 feet of finished lumber and 10,000 sawed shingles per day. The best sawed shingles retail at $3 per thousand at the mill and finished lumber at from $15 to $25 per thousand. All kinds of mouldings, sash and wood-turning and every thing needed to construct any ordinary building are made here.
Mr. Shipp is prepared to furnish drawings and estimates on all classes of construction work, and his workmanship cannot be excelled. He has constructed more buildings in Prineville during the past two years than has ever been put up here in the same period before." (Crook County Journal)
