GLENDALE, Ore. (AP) — The Swanson Group is closing its Glendale sawmill and scaling back operations at its Roseburg studmill.

The Glendale-based company blames the government for a short supply of federal timber and says the market has been deflated by lumber from Canada.

The Register-Guard reports about 90 workers will be affected, leaving the company with about 650 employees. Swanson also operates mills in Noti and Springfield.
