Lumber Boom in Blue Mountains Prompts Investment Debate
Reports from La Grande detail a Wisconsin lumberman building Cedar timber operations in the Blue Mountains. A cedar tract estimated at one hundred million feet could bring San Francisco buyers at ten dollars a thousand or fourteen delivered, with the venture run by Stanley, Prod Stanley, and Sherman and payroll near $60,000 monthly. Rumors swirl La Grande may seek county division to secure deals, but officials deny any such move, calling it political theater while urging preservation of county integrity.
