- Q6687238 abstract "Louis Gerlinger, Sr. was a businessperson in the railroad and timber industries in the U.S. state of Oregon in the early 20th century. Gerlinger became involved in the railroad business comparatively late in life. He was born in Alsace (a region between France and Germany) in 1853. At the age of 17, he came to the United States, settling in Chicago. He married and had three sons (George, Louis Jr., and Edward) and a daughter. He built a prosperous store and saloon fixture business.At 41, Gerlinger left his comfortable, successful Chicago enterprise to move his family west. He settled in Portland, Oregon.In 1894, Louis Gerlinger, Sr. bought the existing Young's Brewery in Vancouver, Washington. He promptly renamed it Star Brewing Company to reflect the change in product line. Thus the original Star Brewing Company (also known as Star Brewery) was founded. Louis Gerlinger, Sr. was the proprietor from 1894-1897.In 1896, Gerlinger organized and built the Portland, Vancouver and Yakima Railroad on behalf of the Harrimans.In the fall of 1901, Louis Gerlinger, Sr. purchased 7,000 acres (28 km2) of timber in Polk County, Oregon for a railroad. Just west of Dallas, Oregon, in the Oregon Coast Range, grew hundreds of square miles of untouched Douglas fir and other commercial timber species.He incorporated the Salem, Falls City and Western Railway Company late in October 1901 and announced plans to build a railroad from the Willamette River at Salem to the mouth of the Siletz River on the Oregon Coast, a distance of 65 miles (105 km).On May 29, 1903, the first train ran from Dallas to Falls City. At the end of June, passenger trains began regularly scheduled trips to and from Dallas and Falls City each day; the nine-mile (14 km), forty-minute, one-way trip cost 35 cents.Two of Gerlinger's sons, George T. Gerlinger and Louis Gerlinger, Jr., managed the railway.In 1906, Gerlinger purchased the Cone Lumber Company, and renamed it Willamette Valley Lumber Company (WVLC). The WVLC would become Willamette Industries in 1967 and part of Weyerhaeuser in 2002.".
