Several illustrated paper sample ads detail the available products from the Columbia River Paper Co. founded just 6 years earlier in La Camas by Pittock and J.K. Gill. Pittock expanded his paper making operations to La Camas Washington Territory because of greater access to water and raw materials on the North bank of the Columbia River East of Vancouver W.T.

Gill the site was cleared by 100 Chinese-American laborers who had just completed work on the final link of the Northern Pacific Railroad the mill was erected a 7000 foot long aqueduct was built and the water and timber rights to the 3 lakes above La Camas were acquired as well.

1866rif. BK0132Philadelphia: F. Gutekunst 1866. Carte-de-visite photograph 3 ½ x 2 ¼ inches on larger mount with Gutekunst's 704 & 706 Arch Street imprint and two-cent U.S. revenue stamp for playing cards on verso. Contemporary identification beneath image "George Balcom / Evangelist. Fine condition. A portrait of George Farnham Balcom 1823-1879 the New York Baptist evangelist whose itinerant ministry eventually took him west to Kansas and Nevada. Balcom grew up in Oxford New York entered the Baptist ministry at about thirty and became known particularly for evangelistic work in both speaking and singing. He conducted meetings and helped organize churches in New York Pennsylvania Ohio and the western states. Balcom moved west in 1870 settling near Cawker City Kansas. Local accounts credit him with preaching among the earliest sermons in Osborne County and describe his continued work establishing churches on the frontier. His western career also included a brief period in federal service as special Indian agent at Nevada's Pyramid Lake Reservation in late 1871 making him the first Baptist preacher in the state.1 The revenue stamp dates the portrait closely to the Civil War-era federal tax on photographs while Balcom's handwritten identification as an "Evangelist" places the image squarely within the itinerant phase of his career. An well-documented portrait of a nineteenth-century Baptist revivalist whose ministry extended from rural New York to the developing communities of the American West. . F. Gutekunst unknown
1879rif. Cat359Fargo Dakota Territory 1879. Cabinet card photograph measuring appx 4 x 5 ½ inches on larger mount. Very good plus. An early studio portrait by Frank Jay Haynes taken during his initial establishment in Fargo Dakota Territory shortly after his 1879 move from Moorhead. The mount—“Art Studio cor. 8th Ave. & Main St.”—appears to represent Haynes’s first likely short-lived location in the city set just off the main commercial corridor before he relocated his business to the more prominent Front Street Main Avenue. The sitter an affluent-looking man in a fur overcoat holds a cane. In 1879 the affluent class of Fargo consisted primarily of railroad officials tied to the Northern Pacific Railway for which Haynes would later become the official photographer land agents and speculators capitalizing on townsite expansion grain merchants and elevator operators profiting from the wheat boom and a small professional class. Haynes was the first major photographer in the area and would have a prolific output; this image represents an example of his early work before he was established in the city. unknown

1942rif. 222721942. Japanese InternmentWWII Framed original broadside issued April 24 1942 by the Western Defense Command enforcing Executive Order 9066 by the compulsory removal of Japanese Americans from a designated district of Los Angeles. The broadside directs "all persons of Japanese ancestry both alien and non-alien" to present themselves for relocation initiating their forced transfer to government custody. This document dates to the first phase of the federal mass incarceration program that uprooted more than 120000 Japanese Americans approximately two-thirds of whom were United States citizens. Civilian Exclusion Order No. 41 Large format broadside framed. Western Defense Command and Fourth Army. San Francisco: U.S. Army April 24 1942. The notice mandates that a "responsible member of each family and each individual living alone" report to a designated Civil Control Station between April 25 and April 26 1942 and warns that failure to comply would result in criminal penalties under Public Law No. 503 and possible immediate apprehension. The text specifies the geographic boundaries of the exclusion zone within Los Angeles and outlines the administrative procedure for removal including reporting instructions and compliance requirements. The exceptionally fast pace of mass incarceration is especially evident here as the poster issued April 24 commands representatives to report immediately over the following two days for instruction and mandates all Japanese and Japanese-Americans be vacated from the area by May 1 the following week. During this period immigrants and citizens alike were suddenly ripped from their homes schools and jobs forced to say good-bye to neighbors loved ones and pets and pack whatever belongings were permitted by the U.S. government for internment of an indeterminate length of time. Posted publicly in affected neighborhoods across California Oregon and Washington exclusion orders such as this were a key part of the first phase of Japanese American mass incarceration. They introduced military command into neighborhood-level enforcement and a suspension of civil liberties for the West Coast Japanese immigrant population. The order is dated less than five months after the attack on Pearl Harbor when the U.S. was rapidly expanding federal emergency powers on the home front parallel to increasing involvement in WWII abroad. Exhibiting some damage including folds creases pinholes and several small tears at edges with a some in the center many have been repaired with acid-free archival tape en verso. No loss to paper. Overall good condition. A rare and historically significant artifact of wartime racial profiling and a sobering reminder of the fragility of constitutional protections during times of crisis. unknown
