Oregon Lumber Company
The Oregon Lumber Company was a company west of Portland, Oregon that claimed extensive land via the Homestead Act of 1862. The company was formed by Charles W. Nibley together with David Eccles〔Leonard J. Arrington. "David Eccles". Utah History Encyclopedia.〕 and George Stoddard in 1889. The company had its principal holdings near Baker City, Oregon, and in the Sumpter Vallley, with others near Hood River, Oregon area, and around Chenoweth.〔Kamholz, E. J., Blain, J., Kamholz, G., & Ebrary, Inc. (2003).'' The Oregon-American Lumber Company: Ain't no more.'' Stanford, Calif: Stanford University Press.〕 It also owned a number of associated railroad companies constructed primarily to haul its timber.
According to Hugh Nibley (Charles W Nibley's grandson), much of the rain forest west of Portland was acquired by the company using illegal claims under the Homestead Act.〔Nibley, Hugh. ''Approaching Zion'' (''The Collected Works of Hugh Nibley,'' Vol 9), p. 469.〕 It was part of the large group of business enterprises controlled by Nibley,〔Godfrey, Matthew C. (2007).

OCLC 74988178〕 who was to become presiding bishop of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from 1907-1925.〔
The company became the Oregon-American Lumber Company in 1917, with headquarters in Vernonla, Oregon. Eccles gradually became the predominant owner. The company underwent multiple amalgamations and changes of ownership 〔 and was dissolved in 1957.
