==Media== The Mill City ''Logue'' was published by Al and Arlene Van Dahl from 1926 to 1933. In 1931, they started ''Western Stamp Collector'' as a supplement to the ''Logue''. It grew so quickly that in 1933, they closed down the ''Logue'' and moved to Albany, Oregon. Al Van Dahl died in 1954. Arlene Van Dahl continued publishing the then semi-weekly, national newspaper until 1976 when she sold it to Jackson Newspapers. (Jackson Newspapers was sold to Capital Cities Communications, later Capital Cities/ABC, which dropped the word "Western" from the name and changed the publication schedule back to weekly. Capital Cities/ABC was sold to Disney Corp. in 1995. Krause Publications of Iola, Wisconsin, bought Van Dahl Publications, then publishing the ''Stamp Collector'' newspaper and the ''Stamp Wholesaler'' magazine, from Disney in 1996. ''Stamp Collector'' ceased publication in 2003.){{cn|date=November 2023}} The Mill City ''Enterprise'' was the longest-running local newspaper serving the canyon from 1949 through 1998. The ''Enterprise'' was owned and operated by George and Norma Long for 30 years from 1968 to their retirement in 1998 at which point the paper was sold and subsequently renamed. The Mill City ''Enterprise'' is currently being archived by the University of Oregon.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn97071134/ | title=The Mill City enterprise }}</ref> From 1998 until 2014, the Mill City ''Independent Press'' (formerly known as the ''Enterprise'') covered local news.
