Monarch Lumber plant near East St Johns may resume operations
Supreme court dissolution of a long legal dispute over the Monarch Lumber property ends years of court battles. W. T. Patton’s title, Rice’s satisfaction of an $800 judgment, and Attorney John W. Kaste’s ownership are clarified as the court voids prior titles. The 28 acre mill complex on Oregon slough includes two sawmills, an electric power plant, and a Kenton retail yard. The plant, built in 1911 with significant capacity, may restart using electricity and sell surplus power to nearby industries.
