April 20, 1905: “Gilbert Brown, of Crystal Creek, came down the lake Monday night on the steamer Alma and reports a very hard trip. Mr. Stanley was bringing down a barge load of finished lumber from his mill. When between Eagle Point and Bear Island the barge went under. There was a very heavy wind and to save the boat the ropes were untied and the barge turned loose. The barge sank and the lumber was scattered over the lake. The steamer succeeded in landing on the point where they remained until morning. The loss of lumber will probably amount to about $300.00.” (Klamath Republican)

They will operate the mill at Odessa. A new steamboat will be built to take the place of the Alma, and also two large barges for hauling the lumber down the lake.
