Two hundred car loads of surfaced lumber lie awaiting shipment on Row river to the O R and N, valued at about $60,000. Separately, J H Chambers has 1,500,000 feet ready to load worth $22,500, with 500,000 feet of piling and cedar poles totaling about $38,500. Combined, Cottage Grove’s timber stock equal $120,500, banking on rail service to move it. The railroad loses $120,000 to $150,000 from delays and high rates, while local needs press for new facilities.
