MEADOW LAKE LUMBER COMPANY
Klamath Falls
April 27, 1917: "H.I. Tierney, of Seattle, Wash., is in the city and has shipped machinery for the erection of a sawmill in the Meadow Lake region, according to information given out today.
The mill will cut the Higgins timber and probably other tracts in that district east of the city. It is said the mill will have a capacity of about 35,000 feet per day.
Local lumbermen say that the supply of box lumber is insufficient to meet the demand and that owing to eastern prices box lumber can be shipped east and more money secured for it than it can be secured when used in the west, owing to the market conditions in the east. Lumbermen say that there is room for several more mills here to supply the demand.
It is announced that this mill will be erected immediately and work will be started as soon as possible." (The Evening Herald)

April 30, 1917: "A new sawmill in the Meadow Lake region is assured for Klamath Falls in the near future. H. I. Tierney of Seattle has arrived with machinery and will install a mill immediately for sawing the timber of the Higgins tract, about 10 miles east of this city. The mill will have a capacity of 35,000 feet daily. The box men here declare that they now have difficulty of securing box grades from the sawmills here, owing to the high prices offered by the east for raw lumber of all kinds."

September 2, 1931: "The sawmill building occupied by the Meadow Lake Lumber company was burned to the ground last evening, and the cut of the mill amounting to 1,500,000 feet, was saved only after a hard fight, which lasted until late this afternoon." (The Evening Herald)
