downriver the next day. The new schedule would remain in effect until the next low water season. Transport of rails In November 1912 the Harvey Mill Company was building a logging railroad. The first car for the railroad was brought in on November 6, 1912 by the steamer Etna. A large shipment of rails was expected, sufficient to construct the anticipated seven miles of trackage that the company planned to build. November 6 was also the first day that the water level in the river had risen sufficiently to allow Etna to resume operations. The first five cars of rails arrived at Woodland on November 20, 1912, and were placed on the river bank to be carried upriver by the steamer Etna. There were expected to be a total of 15 cars worth of rails shipped in, in installments of five cars each. Sawmill transport On December 5, 1912, a complete sawmill capable of cutting 50,000 board feet per day arrived at Woodland, intend for the North Fork Logging Company then operating at Yale, 25 miles upriver from Woodland. Etna would take the new mill up to the logging camp at Yale, where the mill would be used mainly for cutting railway ties. Later career Following the summer low water season of 1914, Captain Gray of Etna expected to begin operations on the Lewis River in about the middle of September, which was the earliest possible time under normal river conditions. Dynamiting snags In mid-December 1914, the sternwheeler Woodland, running on the north fork of the Lewis River under Capt. John W. Exon, was delayed by a day in returning to Woodland by some snags in the river at a place called Lamb’s Bar. These snags had been recently exposed because of a change in the channel caused by a recent rise in the river. Captain Exon informed the United States Engineers office in Portland, and they authorized Exon to have the snags removed. Captain Lurlie Gray and the steamer Etna, as well as a crew of men, were engaged to dynamite the snags. Logging camps resume operation In January 1916, it was reported that many of the logging camps and mills on the north fork of the Lewis River which had suspended operations, some of them for several years, would resume work as soon as weather conditions improved. The decline of logging work had forced Capt. Lurlie J. Gray,
