Champion International published a series of newsletters about the mill and mill employees. "The Tamarack is a source of communicating information of interest and of educational value to Champion employees and their families." Glenn Max Smith was asked to write articles for the Tamarack as mill historian. Issues with "Early Times at Bonner" articles are listed below. If you have additional issues of the Tamarack, please share. The newsletters give a good insight into the times and employees' activities.
