Mural depicts Silver Falls Timber Co. mill By JEFF BREKAS, Silverton Appeal Tribune, OR
For his latest work he utilized a panoramic 1920s photograph provided to him by the Silverton Country Historical Society. The photograph captured the pond monkeys with long poles used to push logs, the wigwam burner used to dispose of mill ends and buildings of the mill. Besides the mill itself the location consisted of an office building, a power house, a stacker house, dry kilns, a sorting table and a planning mill.
McDonald added a depiction of Steam Engine 103, one of the longtime workhorses of the company on which Arland Siffle was an early engineer.
