BOISE CASCADE CORP.
Beaver Marsh
July 3, 1968: "Plans to build a $1.25 million chip mill in northern Klamath County were revealed today by the Boise Cascade Corp.
The mill, which will convert lodgepole pine into raw material for paper use, will be located in the Chemult-Beaver Marsh area, according to a company spokesman in Boise, Idaho.
The plant, which has a starting payroll of about $600,000 a year, will be built immediately on one of two sites under consideration.
It will be on both the Southern Pacific and Great Northern main line,
The Boise Cascade spokesman, assistant timberlands manager Douglas Stowell, said further expansion is anticipated, and might include the use of the former Johns-Manville plant near Chiloquin, which the company also owns. That plant has been idle for six years.
The mill is to be in production by next November. Logging for it will start in October.
Peter A. Crebbin, formerly with Weyerhaeuser in Klamath Falls, will be operations manager.
The Boise Cascade man said full utilization of lodgepole pine, once considered marginal, is now feasible with new technology and an improved chip market. He said the forests around the mill site have extensive stands of overmature lodgepole pine that will be harvested by highly mechanized methods." (The Capital Journal)

January 15, 1977: "The federal government has charged that Georgia-Pacific Corp, violated a cease and desist order when it purchased a Klamath Falls woodchip plant.
The government wants the wood products company fined, and asked U.S. District Court to order G-P to sell the plant.
The action filed Friday charges that contrary to a 1973 Federal Trade Commission order, G-P bought the plant at Beaver Marsh in March of last year from Boise Cascade Corp. without prior approval from the regulatory agency.
Georgia-Pacific issued a statement saying it had no intention of violating the FTC order. It said, 'We believe that, if we had sought prior approval, the FTC would have granted permission to acquire the facility.
The statement predicted quick settlement of the dispute.
According to the government suit, the FTC issued a complaint against the company in 1971, charging that G-P's acquisition of stock and assets of various corporations violated the Clayton Antitrust Act and the Federal Trade Commission Act.
The suit said the proceedings result in a cease and desist order in 1973. The order said, in part, that for 10 years G-P could not acquire any shares or assets of any company engaged in manufacturing plywood out of soft woods in the U.S. without prior FTC consent.
The suit charges that G-P bought without approval the wood chip plant and lumber mill in Klamath Falls. The government contends Boise Cascade qualified as a manufacturer of softwood plywoods.
The action asks the court to find G-P in violation of the order for every day since the purchase, and to order civil penalties 'in an appropriate amount.'
The law mentions no specific amount, but does call for a fine of up to $10,000 for each day a violation has occurred. That conceivably could cost the firm more than $2.25 million, based on the number of days it has owned the Klamath Falls plant.
G-P said the wood-chip facility was unused and was purchased for $750,000. It claims there is no relationship to the manufacture of plywood." (The World)
