From the Newport News Times:

Teevin Bros logs

The Teevin Bros. log-exporting yard on the Columbia River is shown in this aerial view. The Port of Newport is negotiating with Teevin Bros. to operate a log exporting facility at the International Terminal on the north side of Yaquina Bay. Eric Oien, Teevin’s general manager, said the project would create 22 full-time, family wage jobs and work for 40 or more longshoremen during ship loading. (Courtesy photo)


By this time next year, large cargo ships sailing into Yaquina Bay to pick up logs bound for China could be a common sight.
