Scope and content
ca. 1935. Around 1935 Ross Houston had a contract to install this wooden water flume at a farm near Yelm. In the mid '30s, much of Yelm's irrigation system was subsidized by the Works Progress Administration (WPA.) Houston Treated Wood and Fabricated Wood Products was also installing prefabricated wooden street gutters in Tacoma.
