The car is the latest automotive creation, made in a deep vermilion that makes a scarlet sunset look like skim milk. Looks like a million dollars on wheels. The First National Bank paid the owner (he is said to be in good faith) a dollar a minute to park the boat in front of the building for half an hour, promoting the affluent class of patrons who frequent the institution.

There was no state border when members of the Applegate party camped there on July 4, 1946, as there were no states to separate.

On July 4, 1996, there is a state border, and right in the middle of the line between Oregon and California, Klamath County will celebrate the 150th anniversary of this first camp by unveiling the Applegate Immigrant Trail monument.

Klamath County was one of the few counties in Oregon that did not have a roadside, said Klamath County Tourism Director Pat McMillan.

Today, thanks to several sources of funding, hard work and a lot of dedication, the county has its way, and much more.

“We have our roadside which will become a western interpretive center,” McMillian said.

Ultimately, 3.44 acres will house a building from which tourists can find information on things to do in the Klamath Basin and northern California.

Already on the site is a giant cart wheel. Around the wheel are pillars with flag poles. On July 4, they will be holding flags of Spain, England, Russian America, and Mexico and an 1846 28-star American flag.

Most moving projects take a few days or weeks.

It’s not the old Circle DE sawmill – bordered by Altamont Drive, OC&E State Trail, and Crosby Avenue – which started in April and is expected to last another three months as the removal of the vacant old sawmill from 80 years continues.

The old factory is rigorously deconstructed to preserve as much as possible of its Douglas fir wood and other elements, such as trusses. Dan McKay of South Carolina, who buys old buildings across the country, plans to resell the mill’s high-value lumber to a variety of buyers.

“The old growth has much tighter grain material,” McKay said. “The patina and characteristics of the wood are really evident. “

He said the wood will be sold to builders, designers and architects across the United States and around the world for use as flooring, walls, beams and other items in high-end housing projects. He said buyers in Scotland, Ireland and Alaska have already expressed interest in Circle DE lumber. McKay estimated that the plant could produce 500,000 to 600,000 board feet of lumber.

“We pull out every nail, so we probably have 50,000 pounds of nails by the time we’re done.”

McKay said. “There is a lot of selected and light wood here. There is good wood.
