Moore partnered with J.E. Manley and August Von Boecklin, and the Manley-Moore Lumber Company bought Arline Mills in 1907 and operated there until about 1910, selling out to Merrick-Robb Lumber Co. In 1909 the Manley-Moore Lumber Company moved its operations to a tract of old growth timber east of Fairfax in eastern Pierce County. The company built a large sawmill, a lumber yard, and buildings for workers on the south side of the Carbon River, and the town was named Manley-Moore. The plant operated until the early 1930s when it was closed. Manley-Moore had many outstanding debts and were forced to sell the company to a Mr. Gailbraith from the Eatonville Lumber Company. The families living at the Manley-Moore Lumber Company camp included six families of Russian ancestry and, for that time period, a large number of families of Japanese heritage. The Japanese workers and their families lived on the far side of the mill, beyond the millpond and near the train tracks. The company imported their native foods, so the cuisine for the camp was quite varied. In addition, the Japanese workers shocked the men of European heritage by consuming the live bodies of a native grub which lived under the bark of certain logs brought to the mill. "The shocked looks on the faces of their fellow workers did not deter the Japanese, who felt equal disgust at the enjoyment of certain others who ate raw oysters."[From: Hall, Nancy Irene. Carbon River Coal Country. Orting, WA: Heritage Quest Press, 1980, 1994, pp 283, 284]
