It wos the first privately-owned sawmill in Klamath county, and the enterprise was established in 1877. The picture was probably mode around 1910. The Moore brothers mill was a water-power operation, taking water from Link river for power purposes. This mill had a capacity of about 7000 feet a day, and it employed no more than a dozen or 15 men. It never shipped much, if any, lumber out of here, because there wos enough demand in the district for what boards and timbers could be produced from the old plant. Many of the early-day farm buildings as well as city structures were sawn in the Moore brothers mill. The Moores later moved their mill from the location on the river to the west side of Lake Ewauna, between what is now Riverside avenue and the lake. Later pictures in this series will show the mill in that location. The mill on Link river wos actually built by William Smith Moore, who sold it to his sons, Rufus ond C. S. Moore. The Moore brothers operated the mill until 1910. William Smith Moore, the father, built a sawmill for the government at Klamath Agency obovi 1870. The first sawmill in Klamath county wos a government mill ot the agency built in 1863, to produce lumber for the buildings ot the new post at Fort Klamath. It wos from these small beginnings that the Klamath in- dustry grew to the huge proportions of the 'twenties, 'thirties and 'forties. Five Ki On Mountain JASPER. Ark..
