SANDY LUMBER COMPANY
Clackamas County - Cherryville
May 4, 1922: "The Sandy Lumber Co.'s mill resumed operations Monday after being idle fourteen months. They expect to be running a full crew in two weeks. They are cutting ties and lumber which are floated through Beechil's flume into the Sandy River to Camp 5 about eight miles from the mill. They are then sent through the P. R. L. & P. Co.'s flume to Bull Run where they are shipped to Fairview. The O. W. R. & N. is the purchaser." (The Banner-Courier)
June 15, 1922: "Edward Sen Eyck, son of R. A. Sen Eyck of Marmot, met with what might have been a serious accident last Wednesday, while falling timber at the Sandy Lumber Company's mill, a falling limb struck him on the back of the head, cutting a gash several inches long and rendering him unconscious. He was taken to the Good Samaritan Hospital where he is reported as improving rapidly. His friends hope for a speedy recovery." (The Banner-Courier)
July 13, 1922: "John Sladsky, well known Brightwood man who is employed as night watchman at the Sandy Lumber Co. mill, fell from the trainway some time between midnight and two o'clock the morning of the Fourth and sustained a severe fracture of the skull. Dr. Alfred Williams, of Sandy was called and took the injured man to the Good Samaritan Hospital where he is doing remarkably well." (The Banner-Courier)
July 13, 1922: "John Sladsky met with a probably fatal accident at the Sandy Lumber mill last week. While around the engine after work he fell into a fire vat which is a receptacle for water in case of fire and struck his head on the cement bottom and badly fractured his skull. He was taken to a hospital in Portland where he is reported in a very serious condition." (The Banner-Courier)
February 24, 1928: "The Sandy Lumber company still has a million and a half feet of lumber in the yard and much has been sold since the mill stopped operations." (Eastern Clackamas News)
April 6, 1928: "Work will be started at once to get the Sandy Lumber company plant into action again, but it will be a month before the flume can be repaired and the necessary road building completed. The mill will need little overhauling.
The final papers were signed Saturday and W. A. Proctor is now relieved of the receivership. The price was $12,000.
Sandy Lumber Company, Inc., took over 60 acres of timber with the plant, but the sale does not include all the holdings.
There are 40 local creditors of the company which went into receivership in 1924 and was being pulled out of its indebtedness when a fire destroyed the mill a year later.
Officers of the company are F. J. Beehill, president; A. W. Shipley, secretary; L. E. Hoffman, treasurer. The manager will probably be chosen this week." (Eastern Clackamas News)

May 10, 1929: "Jack Greenwood has started building a logging railroad to the Sandy Lumber company mill, that will take three months to finish. This road will not cross the highway, as does the present one. He will have to get it done by July, as the building of a new concrete bridge at Salmon river is to be started then by the state."
