Blackfoot Lumber Mill and River Transport Transformation
The Big Blackfoot Lumber Company's mill at Bonner benefited from river and railway work begun in 1910 when a 12 mile canyon posed $50,000 per mile construction costs. Logs were floated to the mill while two 32 ton Lima locomotives and 62 log cars hauled materials by team. By 1912 Blackfoot valley had surged in agricultural output with 78000 bushels of wheat and 126410 bushels of oats plus 45000 tons of hay, reshaping the lumber region into a center of farming prosperity.
