A subscriber, some months ago sent me some old logging postcards printed by Susanville’s Eastman Studios. Many assumed they were attributed to Red River Lumber Company’s logging/sawmill operations at Westwood. These photographs depict the operations of the Shasta Land & Timber Company east of Redding. In 1897, it became known as the Terry Mill. In 1917, the Terry Mill at Bella Vista suffered major fire damage and was a financial blow to that company. In 1920, the Red River Lumber Company acquired Terry. Red River only operated the mill for a couple of years. In 1925, the logging railroad at Round Mountain was pulled up and the rails were sent to Westwood.
