May 7, 1909: “R. W. Tower returned to Keno today after closing a deal with Harvey & Adams of Grants Pass for the sale of his timber claim and the lease of a site for a saw mill.” (The Evening Herald)
May 13, 1909: “Harvey & Adams of Grants Pass have secured a location and will erect a 25,000 capacity saw mill below Keno. The new mill will be located on the property of R. W. Tower at the mouth of Bear Valley about one mile from the railroad. The location is below Keno and about a mile and a quarter from the Downing ranch. A spur will be put in by the railroad to haul out the manufactured product.
Messrs.Harvey and Adams are practical saw millmen, and have secured 8,000,000 feet of standing timber to begin business on. They have a contract for box material, and most of their output will be shipped to California. With all of the commons going into boxes, this will leave them the better grades for the local market.
This will make them the third mill in Klamath County which will saw box material, and it is predicted that within a few years Klamath county will be furnishing the greater portion of the boxes for the fruit sections of California. It is quite probable that there will be a number of other saw mills built in the timber near Keno within the next two years. There are large bodies of timber in that section which are easily accessible in case a branch is extended to connect with the railroad.” (Klamath Republican)

August 19, 1909: “A. W. Shur of Keno was in the city Tuesday on business. He reports that O. P. Harvey of Grants Pass will begin about the 1st of September on the construction of a new sawmill at Gordon Springs, between Worden and Calor.
The mill is to have a capacity of about 25,000 feet a day and will give employment to about thirty men and eight or ten teams. Mr. Harvey some time since purchased the timber claims of J. Padgett, Charlie Nelson, R. W. Tower and Mr. Gordon, and the timber supply for the mill will be taken from these claims, it is understood that the entire cut of this mill has been contracted for box stock. The mill is located only a mile from the main line of the California Northeastern railroad and doubtless a spur will be run up to the mill for taking the output out.” (Klamath Republican)

Harvey and Adams have gone into the sawmill business at that place under the firm name of Harvey-Adams Lumber Co. and have filed articles of incorporation with the secretary of state. Mr. Harvey is president and manager, Mr. Adams is treasurer and C.L. Harvey secretary. Messrs. O.P. Harvey and Bob Adams have gone to install the machinery in the new mill, which is located near Keno, about 18 miles from Klamath Falls, but Lloyd Harvey will not go over until some time in the spring. The gentlemen have bought a large tract of timber and as their mill site is on the new railroad line going through that country, and being gentlemen of integrity and good business ability, are sure of the unbounded success which they deserve."
