Timber Saloon. Timber, Oregon. Kit 1031 When rail lines were extended into Oregon in the 1870-80s, the Ponderosa Pines of Eastern Oregon and the forested areas of the Western Cascades were there to meet the need. Between the 1880s and 1911, more railways were added and logging boomed. By 1938, Oregon was the nation's leading producer of wood. To this day, Oregon produces more wood building materials than any other state. The town of Timber is three miles up the road along the Nehalem River. The town is mostly at the bottom of the hill. There isn't a lot of information about the now ghost town of Timber. A post office was established at this location on March 11, 1901 along the Pacific Railway and Navigations Companies Railroad. It was six miles north of Glenwood, and like the name suggests, was likely a location for trains to load up logs cut in the nearby hills. This is where the Saloon once stood. The town seems like it was a pretty busy depot, serving at least one log train a day and possibly more. It's estimated that there were probably 400-500 citizens, including those who worked the lumber camps up on the hills.
