Railroad Promoters See Growth in Summerville Area
In Summerville Oregon the Northwest Grande Ronde vales offers a thriving lumber sector with three mills near town each capacity 20,000 feet daily. The Kentucky Lumber Company Summerville Lumber Company and Wrights Sons run eight to ten months a year. Lumber moves to Imbler and Elgin for planing then onward to Salt Lake and beyond. Local creamery runs at full capacity and farmers focus on hoes as a growing agricultural niche. The community debates a proposed reserve to protect water, fearing it may hinder mining and lumber, while leaders like Mayor Robbins argue development would be slowed.
