Name
The article says
 * Cle Elum means "Swift Water."

Fine, but in what language? —EncMstr 08:31, 7 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I pulled this info from a WA-DOT site;

Cle Elum, a name meaning "swift water" in the language of the Kittitas Indians, was given to a river, a town, and also this beautiful tranquil lake. The lake was created by the construction of the Cle Elum Dam.Mrhyak 20:05, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

The Suncadia description on this page is likely a canned press release. It should be rewritten. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Special:Contributions/ (talk)

M.C. Miller Lumber Company
Anyone know anything about it? I know that it was a big part of the economy in the 50's and 60's and closed in 1963. More citable info would be good. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grumpyoldgeek (talk • contribs) 22:40, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Grumpy, After pouring over the Seattle Times archives, I came up with several hits:

From September 28, 1968: ''Robert Woods, pioneer Cle Elum Mink rancher, will open a mink-pelt-processing plant in November that will provide employment for up to 50 men and women during the winter months, the Port of Kittitas County reported. The plant will be situated in the Cle Elum Industrial Park owned by the Port of Kittitas. The site formerly was used by the Miller Lumber Co.''

Also from the Seattle Times is the February 28, 1968 obituary of Mrs. Lily Miller, wife of the founder: ''Born in Cardiff, Wales, she went to Cle Elum in 1894. She and her husband, Michael C., were married in 1899, and they owned and operated the Miller Lumber Co., later the Miller Sales Co., over 50 years. Mr. Miller died in 1955.''

His own obituary from June 1, 1955 says that he was born in Alsace-Lorraine and came to Cle Elum in 1892. He died in a Seattle hospital after a long illness and is buried in Acacia Memorial park in Seattle's Lake City neighborhood.

Hope those are satisfactory. Publichall (talk) 01:09, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
