TEN MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, Jan. J. 1 94B ' TILLER SAWMILL HALT BY FLOOD Tiller Mill and Lumber com pany'! law mill, 14 miles above Trail on the Tiller-Trail road, was back In operation this morn ing after flooding waters had halted operations over the week end. According to A. A. Lausmann, owner, the mill was in serious danger for three hours triday when spillways and gates were unable to accommodate the swollen waters and part of the dam gave way. The flood rushed thru the mill building and rose to the main floor. Forest service, highway de partment and mill and logging crews with bull-dozers and oilier equipment combined to divert the flow before it reached the pond. Damage to the mill has not been estimated. Water, which was running down the highway a foot deep in spite of heavy grades, was receding rapidly by Sunday, ac cording to reports Lausmann has received. Just Heopened The mill, closed for 14 weeks by the A. F. of L. strike, had been operating again for just two days prior to the flood. Lausmann says that, barring floods, the mill along with his mill just south of Medford ex pects to keep running on through the winter. Good rock roads make logs acces.sable. Since resumption of work, December 10, the Medford mill has been shipping per day about five carloads of dimension lum ber and boards. Lausmann was Informed, Mon day, that slides endangered large sections of the Tiller-Trail high way between the summit and Trail and that a large number of state highway commission forces from Jackson county were laboring to keep the road open. A report he obtained stated that the road toward Drew was also in bad shape. No Matter How Many Have Owned it!
