The Monarch Lumber Company, led by L. W. David, acquires about 2,000,000,000 feet of Amber area timber in Washington county. The Schrader and Simpson tracts cost roughly $1,060,000 and support a plan to build a standard gauge railroad to connect timber belts with the Southern Pacific near Gaston, enabling a large new mill on the Pacific Coast. Swifts and Le C Menefee hold major interests, with Menefee previously investing in Oregon timber and Portland Heights property.
