Keith and Hiles Lumber CompanyIn 1891, The Page and Landeck Lumber Company bought a huge tract of hardwood timberlands near Crandon, but they were unable to utilize the resource until the C & NW Railroad built a spur line from Pelican Lake. By 1902, a huge sawmill owned by Page and Landeck (the name was later changed to the Keith & Hiles Lumber Company, and that is how many people refer to the early mill) was sawing lumber on Clear Lake on Crandon's north side. Logging camps were built, a company train hauled logs to the mill, the C & NW hauled lumber to market, and a hose of other industries that utilized hardwood lumber grew in Crandon. This line ran in an easterly direction out of Crandon. It was begun in 1905 by Boyd-McAlpine Lumber Company. Later that same year Page & Landeck Lumber Company bought the line. In 1908 Keith & Hiles became the new operator. Marshall D. Keith was a very active participant in the building of the Wisconsin & Northern Railroad, which is the present WC line between Neenah and Argonne. In 1907 the W & N constructed its line from Argonne and Crandon. Construction on the line south from Crandon began in 1913, much at the insistence of Keith who owned the timberlands south of there. Keith and Hiles' railroad operations were moved south in 1913 to Keith siding about 5 miles south of Crandon. Keith and Hiles operated there until 1918. *Excerpt from a report on old logging railways.
