(NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY)
Twenty-fifth through Thirty-fourth Annual Report of the Northern Pacific Railway Company. Ten Consecutive Reports.
St. Paul: Northern Pacific Railway Company 1921-1930. First edition. Ten consecutive issues. Folio 12 x 9 inches. Variously paginated. Many charts but no illustrations. All but the Twenty-seventh and the Thirty-fourth Reports have large folding maps bound in at rear of report. Original printed wrappers and all bound together in a stabbed-and-sewn black cloth binder. Very good.The Northern Pacific Railway reporting mark NP was a transcontinental railroad that operated across the northern tier of the western United States from Minnesota to the Pacific Northwest. It was approved by Congress in 1864 and given nearly forty million acres 62000 sq mi; 160000 km2 of land grants which it used to raise money in Europe for construction. Construction began in 1870 and the main line opened all the way from the Great Lakes to the Pacific when former President Ulysses S. Grant drove in the final "golden spike" in western Montana on September 8 1883. The railroad had about 6800 miles 10900 km of track and served a large area including extensive trackage in the states of Idaho Minnesota Montana North Dakota Oregon Washington and Wisconsin. In addition the NP had an international branch to Winnipeg Manitoba Canada. The main activities were shipping wheat and other farm products cattle timber and minerals; bringing in consumer goods transporting passengers; and selling land. The Northern Pacific merged with other lines in 1970 to form the Burlington Northern Railroad which in turn merged with the Santa Fe to become the BNSF Railway in 1996. The main interest here is in the very detailed maps. Northern Pacific Railway Company hardcover

(PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC)
To Members and Friends of "Pacific Service" Greeting.
San Francisco: Pacific Gas and Electric Co. 1914. First and only edition. Quarto 9 x 11 1/2 inches. 4 double leaves 12 double leaves of colorized photographic illustrations. Publisher's quarter brown boars over green boards green endpaper to match. Head of spine a but bumped else a bright and fresh copy.The color illustrations are all of P.G. & E works and include; Electra Power House; Cordelia Substation;De-Sabla Power House; Paterson Ranch Pumping Plant; Centerville Power House; Carquinez Straits Crossing; Spillway-Spaulding Damn; Potrero Gas Works; San Rafael Substation; Colgate Power-House; Brown's Valley Ditch; Champion Mine-Nevada County.Ostensibly issued as a keepsake for Christmas of 1914 the real reason was likely to brag about the completion in 1913 of the huge Big Creek plant the gem of the P.G & E system. It is estimated that there were over 100 hydroelectric plants operational in California by 1914. These ranged from small local plants to large-scale projects supplying power to major cities. This was a very deluxe item so it is probable that PGE presented it only major stockholders This is borne out by the fact that OCLC only records 9 copies Printing colorized photographs in books in 1914 was a very complex and costly process. Special paper had to be used thus the french-fold binding here and the technology was still in its nascent form. But the illustrations fairly burst with color. This was at P.G. & E.'s most muscular; in the 21st century the company filed twice for bankruptcy. (Pacific Gas and Electric Co.) hardcover

(PACIFIC NORTHWEST: CARTOGRAPHY)
Map of the Surveyed Portions of Oregon Territory 1852.
Oregon City: Surveyor General's Office 1852. First edition. 15 3/4 x 26 inches. Printed in various shades of green blue red and black. Some light toning long fold-lines else a very good map of a vastly underpopulated Territory.The map above shows the surveyed portion of the Oregon Territory as of October 21 1852. It was prepared by John B. Preston first surveyor general of Oregon."With the establishment of the Oregon Territory on August 14 1848 all grants of claims of land in the territory were nullified. It was not until the passage of the Donation Land Act on September 27 1850 that new provisions were made for acquiring unclaimed land to be based upon government surveys. John B. Preston was appointed first surveyor general of Oregon where he arrived on April 20 1851. On June 7 1851 Preston drove the “starting stake†for the base surveys of the territory at what is today known as the Willamette Stone. The east-west Willamette Base Line and the north-south Willamette Meridian still define surveying and legal land descriptions in Oregon and Washington state.Preston and his crew were able to carry out their surveying and mapping to the extent depicted on this map in just over one year. Each square of the grid termed a section is one mile on each side and includes 640 acres of land—the maximum acreage allowed for a married couple making a claim under the Donation Land Act; a single man could claim up to 320 acres. Thirty-six sections make up a township.The surveyors took careful note of waterways hills prairies and roads. Some recognizable places are already viable communities such as Salem and Lafayette; other communities of the period—Champoeg Fairfield Cincinnati for example—have vanished as meaningful places. All three of those were river landings that were affected by floods channel changes and the eventual disappearance of river transportation. Notably absent from the map is Mission Bottom or Mission Landing the by-then-abandoned site of the Methodist mission of the 1830s and St. Paul on French Prairie. The roads that are mapped include ancient routes such as the California-Oregon Trail which had sections that paralleled both sides of the valley as well as newer roads established in recent years. The roads converging on Salem from the outlying farming districts for instance reflect its recent importance as a mill town powered by the waters of Mill Creek Surveyor General's Office unknown

Portland : Printed by Himes & Pratt for the Grand Centennial Fair 1905. First edition of this map of the Columbia Basin published on the occasion of the Lewis & Clark Centennial. 28 x 21.5 cm colored. The verso contains a bit of boosterism called "Portland's Inner Trade Area" by D. H. Stearns. Two old fold-lines else fine.There is only one copy of this map located by OCLC and it is obviously a facsimile published by the Oregon Historical Society. Their facsimile is quite a bit smaller and the verso bears the letterhead of the Oregon Historical Society. D. H. Stearns was an early immigrant to Oregon. In 1866 after serving in the Civil War he left his wife in Virginia and moved to Portland. There he was involved in many pursuits including being the founder of the very influential Republican newspaper The Portland Bee. His article is a long reassurance to people thinking of coming to Oregon that there is still plenty of government land available in the eastern part of the state.

(PHOTOGRAPHY: PACIFIC NORTHWEST)
Original Photograph Album; Life in the Northwest.
Port Townsend WA and others: N.p. ca. 1900. Original quarto album of full morocco measuring 9 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches. There are 24 think leaves mounted on stubs with each leaf bearing four windows for photographs measuring 3 7/8 x 2 7/8 inches. Most of the leaves in the rear bear no photographs but in the front there are 64 inserted silver gelatin photographs. Of these 36 bear images of people places and activities in the Puget Sound/Port Townsend area The remainder are quotidian shots of England. A chief concern in this album is mining and likely they brought in some British miners which would explain the shots of England. No surnames are given so it is all a bit of a mystery but the pictures speak for themselves. Finding a mining album of the Northwest is a rather rare occasion.The photographs of interest are; Log Cabin; Ranch House with two women and an infant in front; the nanny appears to be a Native American; Ore Coming out of a Tunnel; Harry Smith Cabin with two gents relaxing on the front porch; Cook House a mess tent with many miners taking their meal; Bunk homes for the workers; Blacksmith shop and Ore Dump with two men pushing a cart of trailings down the hill; Swamp grass three foot high; Dumping ore from car; Road Gang at Dinner; Railroad Station near mountains; Road Makers to the Mine a posed group shot of 20 men; Sunset near Port Townsend; Mates at the Boiler Makers; A river near our mine faded. The rest are uncaptioned but we can see the same camp and people in the winter snow; 2 shots of a sailing vessel trying to come up the Columbia ; and seven photographs of Native Americans unposed. One of them seems to be wearing a mask or bag over his head. A fascinating album of a rough and tumble time in the Pacific Northwest. N.p. unknown

[Alaska, British Columbia, Washington State - Pacific Northwest Fishing Industry - Salmon] Deming & Gould Company
Canneries That Produce Deming & Gould Company’s Salmon
Chicago: Poole Brothers 1917. Folding map measuring 38 ½ x 26 ¾ inches. Tape repairs to verso some tears at folds and edges still bring and attractive good to very good overall with excellent restoration potential. A map of the canneries in Alaska British Columbia and Washington operated by the Deming and Gould Company who were influential in the growth of the Alaskan salmon trade. The map’s date of printing 1917 suggests that perhaps it was related to the war effort as salmon demand increased during this period. The Demings based in Chicago were influential in the growth of the salmon trade in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest founding Pacific American Fisheries Inc. in 1899 and continuing in various iterations until their sale of the firm in 1934 due to president E.B. Deming’s ailing health. The map shows seventeen different canneries several on the Alaska peninsula and the one in Bellingham. We find no record of this imprint only a later and small version held at the University of Washington. Poole Brothers unknown

Also present is a September 1932 blueprint negative for a proposed Union Pacific Cafeteria building in Ketchum ID. Harriman foresaw the tremendous potential in developing a skiing destination industry for the Union Pacific during the Great Depression and after hiring Count Felix Schaffgosch to scout locations determined in January 1936 that Ketchum ID would be the ideal spot. The Union Pacific contracted the famed Los Angeles CA architect Gilbert Underwood 1890-1960 who at the time was a key member in the Federal Architecture Project established by Roosevelt during the New Deal. Underwood was well known for designing Union Pacific lodges for the National Park Service including complexes at Cedar Breaks Zion Bryce Canyon North Rim of the Grand Canyon and the famed Ahwahnee Hotel at Yosemite.

First edition thus of exceedingly scarce & well-illustrated architectural catalogue for this noted Portland OR based manufacturer of ready-to-assemble homes intending to draw upon local timber as well as trim shipping costs on the West Coast to compete with Sears Pacific Ready-Cut HomesMontgomery Ward and other companies entering the market. These well-designed Pacific Northwest bungalows replaced the fancy Victorians in many western neighborhoods and although most of the homes were one story they also sold garages barns wooden water tanks as well as all of the built-in cabinetry and wood trims. The Fenner homes were delivered in bundles of material all clearly marked ready to assemble and with the instructions could be built by a novice but Fenner does mention that hiring a builder or contractor will still result in considerable cost-savings.The Redi Built House Co. was incorporated in May 1911 by J.H. Fenner F.C. Knapp president of the Peninsula Lumber Co. and James E. Brockway as secretary and treasurer. The numbering was directly related to the date issued so Catalogue No. 15 was issued in 1915 and by 1916 the company was expanding across the country. They were very popular in the fast expanding Ladd Addition and other old Portland neighborhoods as prospective buyers from 1911-1927 could visit their offices and sit down with and devise custom house plans to suit individual tastes. Today Fenner homes can be found in many older Portland and other Pacific Northwest city neighborhoods.

This is followed by photographs shot of such buildings as the newly completed Aetna Apartments Printing Office at 21st & Sandy; the Utah-Idaho Motor Co. Maxwell dealership in Pocatello ID; the Golden Rule store in the Morris Block in Lewiston ID; the Miller Wood Fuel Co. in Portland OR with Chief Gasoline pump in front; the King Albert Apartments in Portland OR finished in 1918; together with many splendid examples of PNW Arts & Crafts homes.

Founded originally in 1910 in the City of Portland by David Shope 1862-1948 having developed his specialized brick-making machinery for clay & concrete bricks as featured in the final photograph the company’s products quickly proved popular with Arts & Crafts architects in the Pacific Northwest. Shope used a patented process to achieve what he termed the “Red Wire Cut†and “Old Gold Rough Texture†for commercial facades and also used concrete cast stone to achieve special effects and sold his licensed machinery to contractors as well. By 1922 he heavily marketed the fact that the Shope facades were the only ones to mostly survive the 1922 Astoria fire. He also aggressively protected his patents suing competitors on a regular basis. After 1923 he sold out to the Eugene Concrete Pipe Company and returned to Lake City MN where he lived with his daughter Birdie. Gensler 1873-1968 was a German-American photographer in San Francisco CA who operated Columbia Commercial Studio from about 1915 through World War II before moving back to Alameda CA and in two of the photos he has proudly displayed his 1915 Harley-Davidson V-Twin motorcycle in the foreground.

We Demand the Hotel Back. Fight for the I-Hotel. Demandamos que nos Regresan El Hotel! Lucha Por El Hotel Internacional. Demonstration/Awareness Flier. Monday Aug 15 3:30 pm
San Francisco: International Hotel Support Committee Publisher. Unbound. Good. no date presumed late 1970s. Single sheet legal sized light pink paper. Printed on both sides with bilingual text: Spanish on one side English on the other. A flier for a demonstration to stop evictions at the International Hotel in San Francisco. Given that the last tenants were evicted in August 1977 it appears this demonstration may have been a last ditch effort. The flier describes public support for the cause and gives a list of four demands The International Hotel was a hotel located in the Manilatown section of San Francisco and provided low income housing to mostly elderly Filipino residents. Beginning in the late 1960s developers sought to evict its residents in order to build a parking garage. Students residents and city activists organized and protested for years against the eviction efforts including poet Al Robles. GOOD condition. The English side has a strip of white paper glued along the top edge obscuring some of the large captions. The paper bears a partial handwritten note that doesn't appear related to the flier. Minor wrinkling/creasing. International Hotel Support Committee, Publisher unknown
