| Historicial Development: | This company was referred to in the Northwestern Lumberman and the census records of 1880 variously as Carter & Co, C. B. Carter & Son, and C. B. Carter and Brother. The office was located at Longview and the mill site at Precinct 3 of the census records. The census enumerated the value of the mill as $23,000 and cutting two and a half million feet of lumber during the reporting period of twelve months for a gross value of $27,500, from $14,150 worth of raw materials. The mill employed fifteen to thirty-men to operate the mill at three-quarters time for the year. They were paid a combined total wage of $6,000 at a rate of $1.35 to $3.00 per day per eleven-hour shift. The company did its own logging in the vicinity of the mill. |
