Scope and content
Washington pioneers and others who have joined in the movement for the construction of a highway over the old "Immigrant Trail" through Naches Pass. Eight men, including Mr. William P. Bonney at far left, stand at entrance to Odd Fellows Temple. The men are, left to right, Bonney, Frank Spinning of Sumner, John Adams of Tacoma, Al Benson of Seattle, Frank Ross & George Talcott of Olympia, Leland J. Athow, Fern Hill, and D.H. White of Tacoma. The projected road would begin near the confluence of the White and Green Water Rivers on the present highway, follow an easterly line through the Pass and down the Naches River to intersect the present highway, saving about 50 miles for the traveler.
