NORTH & NEWHART SAWMILL
Worden
July 6, 1914: "Klamath county's payroll is to receive another boost next week, when the new sawmill of Oscar North and J. W. Newhart starts operations. This mill is located between Worden and Calor. It has just been completed, and is one of the best equipped small mills in this section.
In ten hours the plant will cut 35,000 feet. Although offered a good price for the mill output, the concern has decided to grade its lumber, and it already has several chances to contract the box lumber sawed." (The Semi-Weekly Herald)

September 20, 1914: “An action at law to recover $555.20 alleged to be due as wages, was instituted in Circuit Court yesterday by Marion A. Clement. He names as co-defendants Oscar P. North and J. W. Newhart, Orr Lake Lumber Company and Oscar Fanno. Clement alleges that he was engaged by Oscar Fanno, a contractor for Newhart and North, who operates sawmill near Worden, to log and do other necessary work about a logging camp.
He further alleges that he has not been paid, that 30 days since he quit work have elapsed and that he has filed a logger's lien. Because several piles of lumber made from logs handled by Clement, near the Newhart & North sawmill, have tacked upon them a placard saying 'This pile of lumber belongs to Orr Lake Lumber Company' this company is made defendant in the action as well as Newhart & North and their contractor, Oscar Fanno.
Plus $555.20, all costs and disbursements incurred by the action and those preceding it, and $100 attorney fee are asked. W. H. A. Renner is attorney for Clement.” (The Klamath Falls Northwestern)
