Message: Dear Mamma. I don't know how many letters you owe me, but almost as many as the rest. I hope this finds you and all feeling fine. I don't feel very good and am going down to the doctor to have my foot fixed again. I have to go down about every other day. I have your cushion almost done. I'll send it and some other things pretty soon. Well goodbye, your loving daughter Grace.

Vibrantly colored card depicting logging crew resting atop a large length of Douglas fir. Presumably it was felled using the ax in the picture if the cut marks on the end closest to the foreground are to be believed. circa 1911.
Hoquiam, in Grays Harbor County, boomed early with both the logging and fishing industries. The name Hoquiam comes from the Hoquiam River which takes its name from a local Indian band, the Ho-qui-umpts, meaning hungry for wood. It is believed that the name relates to the Indian custom of using driftwood from the river for fuel. circa 1908.

View of the northeast corner of the University of Washington campus, taken several years after the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition of 1909. Buildings visible here remaining from the fair are the California Building (in the foreground), the Arctic Brotherhood Building (which became a university museum and dormitory), the New York Building (which served as the U.W.'s School of Music, then as the official Dean's residence), and the Forestry Building (which became the Forestry Department). Lake Washington is in the background. None of these buildings exist today. circa 1915.
