Continued from: Goose Lake Box Company
October 6, 1947: "The sawmill of the White Pine Lumber company, formerly Goose Lake Box, will be completely torn down and reconstructed next spring, it was announced in Lakeview this week by Jack Weddle, manager.
The equipment and machinery has already been ordered and much of it has been received here. In addition to the sawmill reconstruction, there will be additions to the planing mill and the box factory, Weddle said. All of this renovation and addition will increase the company's production here about 20 percent." (Herald and News)

June 22, 1948: "Lake county's newest sawmill is at White Pine Lumber company's plant on Lakeview, formerly Goose Lake Box company. The new structure included latest in sawmill equipment, electrically operated and manufactured by Klamath Locomotive Works in Klamath Falls.
The new plant will cut 8000 to 9000 feet per hour, from 2000 to 3000 more than the old mill which was torn down beginning last April 1. The new mill went into operation this week with full 9-hourt shift. The operators said they expected to work 11 1/2 months of the year.
Open house and demonstration of the plant was held last Saturday afternoon at Lakeview.
Manager of the new plant is Sam Jaksick who also manages White Pine plants and box factories at Alturas and Reno. The Lakeview and Reno plants are to ship raw lumber, but only wood that has been re-manufactured for consumer use or partially re-manufactured.
The Goose Lake mills were sold last fall to Loyola Foundation and the name changed to White Pine Lumber company, Jaksick, former owner, remained with the firm as general manager." (Herald and News)

April 21, 1951: "A large glue-up plant to utilize box factory and sawmill materials, heretofore sold cheaply as stove fuel or burned in mill heating plants, will be built at Lakeview by the White Pine Lumber Company, it was announced at Alturas on Monday, April 16, by S. S. Jaksick, general manager of the White Pine operations at Lakeview, Alturas and Reno.
The announcement was hailed here as a major step in furthering the purpose behind the recent unit...development of remanufacturing to expand local payrolls in order to at least make up foreseen payroll loses when the community is dependent upon income from national forest timber alone. Most of the private timber is gone, and while the local mills sawed about 65,000,000 board feet of timber in 1949 when the private trees are gone.
Jaksick said construction on the new building will begin next week just north of the White Pine box factory." (Herald and News)

May 11, 1951: "Work preparatory to construction of a large glue-up plant at the White Pine Lumber Co. mill here was under way this week.
This work includes construction of a concrete retaining wall along the west bank of the mill pond, closing off and filling in a part of the pond to provide an area for construction of the new plant.
S. S. Jaksick, general manager of the White Pine operations at Lakeview, Alturas and Reno, has announced that his firm will build a 100-250 foot structure to house the new glue-up plant. He expects to complete the building within 50 days after work starts on it.
The new plant will be built along the Southern Pacific tracks to the north of the White Pine box factory. A part of the pond extended to the west there, and this had to be closed off and filled in.
The glue-up plant will utilize blocks from the box factory, mill ends, edgings and other mill waste materials that have in the past been used or sold as fuel.
Jaksick announced that he expects to employ about 46 persons per eight hour shift, and he hopes to operate three shifts per day.
The move to install the new plant is a result of the Lakeview Federal Unit which assures a supply of lumber for this area. Other local mills are making studies to decide upon other re-manufacturing processes they can enter in order to more fully use the local supply of lumber and increase the local payroll."

September 21, 1951: "The White Pine Lumber Co. plans to get its box factory into operation by Monday after a shutdown for remodeling since July 16, it was announced by Joe Perk, office manager.
At the same time, preparation of the new 100 by 250 foot building to house White Pine's new glue up plant here is moving forward rapidly with the hope of starting this new manufacturing plant in the near future.
The box factory stopped operation July 16 for the remodeling program, but most of the employes of that plant have remained on the payroll in other departments or fighting fires. The box factory employes 30 to 35 men." (Herald and News)

December 7, 1951: "The new glue-up plant at White Pine Lumber Co. here is now in operation, utilizing box factory waste and creating new payrolls from lumber produced in this region. S. S. Jaksick, general manager of the White Pine operations at Lakeview, Alturas and Reno, announced that operation here began November 26. Tests had been made the week before.
Material used in the glue-up process is blocks from the White Pine box factory, blocks which formerly were burned or sold as fuel. The process converts them into housing wall and floor sections, and many other building items can be made from them.
The present White Pine operation provides full employment for five men and additional man-hours form other employes at the plant. Now in manufacture from the waste blocks are wall and floor sections eight feet long by four inches thick. Some are 12 inches wide and others are 24 inches wide, the finishing process reduces these dimensions to seven feet, nine inches long by three and one-quarter inches thick.
This glue-up plant is the first waste-using plant to go into operation here as a result of the federal timber unit which was established last spring after three years of effort by the industrial committee of the Lake county chamber of commerce. The unit insures that materials from trees grown within the unit will remain here through primary sawmilling and a degree of remanufacturing, thus assuring a supply of lumber materials to encourage financial investment in just such operations as the White Pine glue-up plant."

December 19, 1951: "The amount of waste in a tree of sawtimber has long been the bane of lumber manufacturers. Now one means of salvaging one part of the waste...the knotty blocks from ponderosa pine box factories...is the basis for a new industry at White Pine Lumber Co. plant at Lakeview.
The blocks are being glued together to make large wall and floor planks for home building.
S. S. Jaksick, general manager for White Pine's three operations at Lakeview, Alturas, and Reno has put a glue-up plant into operation at Lakeview. Glue and huge hydraulic presses convert the former waste into heavy, strong planks.
The new plant is the first major result of the establishment last winter of the Lakeview federal sustained timber unit. This unit keeps in this area the trees that are grown here, and thus assures a local supply of lumber for sawmilling and remanufacturing payrolls.
After about two years of study, the committee petitioned the forest service ti establish the unit, which it did following a public hearing here in March, 1950. But objections were raised which held up the unit while the issue was fought out before a public lands committee and a subsequent hearing before the secretary of agriculture.
Secretary Brannan upheld the order last February, and soon thereafter Jaksick announced his plans for his glue-up operation here. First he built a large building, 100 by 250 feet with concrete slab floor and oval truss roof, to house the plant. Then he began saving blocks from White Pine's box factory. And the first full shift in the glue-up work was on November 26." (Herald and News)
