October 23, 1920: "Suit for approximately $10,000 for alleged failure to carry out an alleged logging contract agreement has been filed in the circuit court by Elmer J. Ayre's against J. J. Steiger, operator of a sawmill in the Chiloquin district.
Plaintiff alleges that defendant, on June 5, 1920, entered into an agreement with him, whereby plaintiff was to haul for defendant 300,000 feet of logs and dump them in Upper Klamath lake a price of $10.50 a 1000. Plaintiff was to furnish labor and all else necessary except two trucks that defendant agreed to furnish.
There were delays, alleges plaintiff, the chief delay due to defendant's failure to furnish the trucks. Finally the work was started but after a short time, on September 11, last, defendant served notice on plaintiff to quit. He had then delivered 14,899 feet of logs. He asks $2038.35 for loss of time during the delay in starting, and $8,179.23 damages to reimburse him for the profit he would have had if he could have completed the contract." (The Evening Herald)

November 27, 1923: "The logging camp of J. J. Steiger, Sr., was closed for this season last Tuesday, Nov. 20. During the year the company has cut about 8,500,000 feet of timber which has been shipped to the Big Lakes box factory at Klamath Falls.
Steiger has used several 75 h. p. caterpillars in his logging operations. The logs were hauled by trucks to Chiloquin, three miles distant, and unloaded in the Williamson River on the west side, floated down stream a few hundred yards, and loaded on cars at the Steiger spur on the east bank of the river.
About 50 men have been employed in loading, hauling, and logging operations. Ten of this number were engaged by Jack Autin in filling his contract of transporting the logs to the river. Three trucks were used for this purpose.
J. J. Steiger, Jr., says they have left about 700,000 feet of shop which they have begun moving from their former mill site to the Chiloquin spur ready for shipment, during the winter. Wymer Bros. of Fort Klamath have the contract for the hauling of the lumber." (The Klamath News)
