share this e mail with our larger announcement group. The historical talks
are very well attended, so get there early if you want a seat- SRO. Timber
Heritage Assoc is having the last volunteer training for the crew speeder
that will offer rides to the public on the forth Saturday each month at
the Samoa Cookhouse driveway. So, if you would like to join the fun of
operating the rail car, all operators must go through the training and
learn about safe railroad operations. The time is 9am to about 4pm at the
roundhouse/ Samoa Shops, behind the cookhouse. Go straight down Cookhouse
ROAD, DO NOT TURN ONTO VANCE AVE, AND COME IN THE GATE ACROSS THE RAILROAD
TRACKS straight ahead on cookhouse road. Info on rides is on our website,
www.timberheritage.org. Click on speeder rides at bottom of home page.
Mark Maxon is in charge of the speeder rides. His phone is 442-5759. In
case you are wondering, our volunteer Carl built the classical nudes
kinetic sculpture. Marcus Brown

Fannie Erickson is giving a talk about Harnden's mill on Saturday at
1:30 at the county library, one of the Historical Society's monthly
talks. When I told Pete Harnden that someone should write a history
of the mill, he mentioned some lady had done that. This might be the
woman.
For those who didn't go up there, Pete Harnden, whose dad and I think
uncle, built the mill. It was once a steam powered mill and according
to the article in today's Times Standard, the last of five mills
within 10 miles of each other on Berry Summit. After the war when
surplus motors were cheap the mill was converted to electricity. Pete
mentioned the plate on one of the motors indicated it ran a pump to
cool a machine gun. The mill had over/under round blades, a teepee
burner, etc. Its slowly sliding down the mountainside.
Pete donated the big Hyster forklift to THA that Bert, Byron, Carl
Casale and I got running again after 5 or 6 trips up there. He also
gave us a stationary couple steam engines and other heaps of good junk.
And yes, Carl Mueller must still be breathing heavy from all the nude
action. And all the action
