These historic photographs trace the efforts to revive and expand a troubled irrigation system constructed largely by private enterprise from the end of the 19th-Century through to 1905 after the failed Carey Act project was taken over by the US Bureau of Reclamation and the State of Oregon. Unscrupulous land promotion companies and developers such as the Columbia Southern Irrigation Co. had acquired the rights to the Tumalo Creek water flow from the Three Sisters Irrigation Co. and local landowners with the Union Pacific claiming that 18000 acres were tillable but by 1905 less than 1000 acres were supplied with enough water and far too much settlement in the Upper Deschutes River Basin. Within five years Bend is incorporated Laidlaw later Tumalo is platted and unfortunately for the latter the railroad completes to Bend by 1912 bypassing Laidlaw and settlers were incensed. One of the photographs shows a “Good Roads” protest parade by Tumalo residents as they began urging the State of Oregon to improve connections to Tumalo and the roads. The State and Bureau of Reclamation draft noted Civil Engineer Olaf Laurgaard 1880-1945 and transfer him from Okanogan WA where he has been competing roadbuilding and irrigation projects in order to improve and enlarge the Tumalo Project irrigation and canal system as well as build a new reservoir and dam at Wimer Flat. The first part of the album focuses on the survey crews surveying the route the rugged terrain in the area with shots of camp tents hunting mess tents original holding ponds and reservoirs mill wheels falling apart with need for repairs and occasional side trips to the Deschutes River. In addition the Tumalo Project office and Laurgaard’s office building is shown the barn filled with project supplies and other town scenes. These are followed by engineering crews digging and expanding irrigation ditches and canals building wooden water flumes crossing fields and through steep canyons well-digging equipment to reach aquifers and horse teams grading earth with Fresno scrapers. By the close of the album the project is nearing completion wooden flumes stretch across grain fields irritation ditches such as the “Finished Ditch in Howard Canyon” appear in the images and Laurgaard and his crew survey several of the finished areas. Unfortunately even with the newly enlarged canal system and the new well-built dam the new Tumalo Reservoir failed to hold water. By the time this was fully realized Laurgaard had moved onto new projects and become the City of Portland Engineer by 1917. He is perhaps best remembered for construction of the Columbia Slouth drainage channel improving the Ross Island Bridge widening Sandy Blvd. and entirely upgrading and developing the decaying Portland municipal wooden docks and port areas with concrete piers and abutments. In the following decades the Tumalo Irrigation District failed with additional diversion dams and still more canals to the point that it was recommended to the Federal and State Governments to not expend further funds while the City of Bend continued to expand and buy up local Water Rights. Later in the 20th Century the Bureau of Reclamation rebuilt the dam and reservoir at Crescent Lake. The Library of Congress holds copies of 59 prints from the files at the Tumalo Irrigation District offices HAER OR-151 but with only a few overlaps in this album; this cataloguer could find no similar contemporary record; See: McLaughlin Ewing & Powers Report on the Agricultural and Economic Phases of the Deschutes County Municipal Improvement District ”Tumalo Project” 1928; Tumalo Irrigation District About Us Our History 2024; Winch Tumalo Irrigation District Oregon Encyclopedia 2024.

1996réf. 713h5459Vancouver Canada: UBC Press. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1996. First Edition. Hardcover. 0774805323 . "The GTP ran from Winnipeg via Edmonton and the Yellowhead Pass to Prince Rupert and was built to challenge the primacy of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The 1500-km British Columbia line built at great cost over some of the country's most rugged terrain was completed in 1914 but traffic fell far short of company expectations and this contributed to the collapse of the GTP in 1919. This failure is examined here with focus on the problems of the BC line. Leonard argues that 'a thousand blunders' by company managers were primarily responsible for one of the greatest failures in Canadian entrepreneurial history. Richly detailed and thoroughly documented this study makes an important contribution to the fields of railway and business history as well as to the study of the history of northern British Columbia." - half-title.

1916réf. 71608088Toronto Canada: W.J. Gage & Co. Limited 1916. Book. Fair. Hardcover. First Edition. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. 272 pages including glossary. Occasional black and white illustrations. "The literature in the readers of the lower grades must be largely that of the nursery tale and fairy lore but when the children have reached the middle period of their public school course - in the Third Reader - they may be introduced with profit to more mature forms of literature and acquire at an early age a taste for reading good books. A careful reading of properly chosen selections cannot fail to extend the knowledge of the pupils as well as to improve their taste and to develop their power of expression. The highest aim of all good teaching is the development of character and the selections for practice in oral reading should illustrate the virtues in which the children should be established - the virtues that make for material success and those especially that form and strengthen right principles of conduct and life." - from the preface. Contains primarily selections drawn from the works of writers in Britain with input from some of Canada's best known writers. Prescribed for use in the schools of British Columbia.

Nicely signed without inscription by Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas upon title page.
