April 6, 1922: "The mill of the C. H. Wheeler Lumber company at Cochran, Oregon will begin operation the latter part of the month, and will be operated continuously, according to announcement by L. R. Hubbard, manager. The mill has a capacity of 80,000 feet a day and will employ about 60 men.
The mill has previously operated only intermittently in connection with the operation of two large camps there. With the reopening this month it is intended to keep it running the year around. Mr. Hubbard, the manager, was formerly connected with the Multnomah Lumber & Box company. Charles Palo will be superintendent and H. R. Peterson sales manager of the mill." (Tillamook Herald)

September 7, 1922: "Due to an improvement in the car shortage situation, which has been the problem of the lumber manufacturers of the outlying districts of Oregon for the last few weeks, the C. H. Wheeler Lumber company will open its plant at Cochran for full operation next Monday. The concern closed down its mill two weeks ago because of an inability to obtain cars in sufficient numbers to transport orders.
Officers of the concern in Portland said yesterday that the plant would open on an eight-hour daily basis and would continue in full operation for an indefinite period. The car situation looks better than in several weeks, according to operators." (The Morning Oregonian)
