The Eufaula Company was in business ca. 1915 to ca. 1926. Eufaula is a former logging town which is now practically deserted two miles north of the Columbia River and four miles northwest of Longview in western Cowlitz County. In the late 1880s the town was named by Jefferson D. Brock, an employee of a logging company, for his home town in Alabama. A log dump is a section of water where logs are sorted. Logs are easier to sort in the water because they can be pushed around. Generally, they're shipped to a mill from there, via booms hauled by tug boats. Sorting is done according to grade, species, etc.
