In 1900, Coleman Wheeler and others incorporated the Wheeler Lumber Company and the Nehalem Transportation Company. The C.H. Wheeler barge was launched in the same year and sunk, with a loss of life, in 1901.

A Tillamook Observer article from September 1913 touts the town’s founding, the riches of the Wheeler Lumber Company, and says the Union Fishermans Cooperative Packing Company was “employing only white labor”.
