1921rif. 75088St. 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

1910rif. 17192Southern Pacific Railroad. Good. 1910-1940. Hardcover. The ledgers are worn with tape reinforcing the spines. Misc. Inserted papers loose with dates from1906 to the 1944. Pages of blueprints of items to be made for the railroad signs etc. handwritten notes of lumber to be ordered for various projects. One ledger has the date 1916 written in the front on the fep. That volume is a "car inspector's record book". The listings give car numbers and condition or repairs; the dates run up to 1922. The second ledger is mostly empty with a lot of pretty boring blueprints inserted loose. In the back are loose pages of contracts for work with detailed decriptions and specifications written in a very neat hand. These pages are not dated but the pages themselves were printed in 1896 and there is a receipt tipped onto one page dated 1899. Not the most historically significant collection but should be pretty fun for an S. P. Fan. Sorry I don't have pictures. Sold as-is what-it-is. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall .

Contemporary flexible diced calf “Housh” photo album chipping & wear to spine wear & bumping to corners some pages reworked by compilers at some point still a G exemplar both albums’ photos with bright strong contrast. These photo albums faithfully follow the sporting and leisure activities of two gearheads from Chicago -- Walter MacKay and his brother Carrol MacKay who together with their extended families and friends drive and auto-camp across the West. The large first album opens with many photos following a trip to Yosemite National Park as well as scenes along the route and upon the return of Walter & Julia. Their follow-up automobile trip in 1928 takes them to Yellowstone National Park via Spokane Idaho and Montana with photos included of Old Faithful a photo by Haynes of the Grand Geyser as well as auto camping at “Mammoth Hot Springs.” Subsequent photos trace their travels through the Columbia River Gorge the Snake River Mount Rainier National Park Ariel Dam near Ariel WA Hoods Canal WA and Newport OR. Their speed boat launch the Carmen is featured in some photos along with several views of pumps hoisting engines giant diesel and gas engines under repair. Other trips include those to Snoqualmie Falls Trout Lake WA near Mt. Adams working a hoist at logging camp partying with friends in Renton WA and even views of Walter MacKay advertising his Automobile Repair Shop with a cover on his rear tire. Other outings include auto camping and picnicking along the Mt. Hood Loop Grant’s Park on the Clackamas River Mt. Hood the Rogue River Table Mountain and views of Grants Pass. Walter and his gearhead friends were known for their stripped-down roadster racing cars and were also early participants in the Seattle Motorcycle Club and Motorcycle races. A couple photos within the two albums show early motorcycles and even gallivanting on some stripped down chassis without engines or tires. The second album includes a series of photos featuring Walter and his car beneath a towering Cedar Stump with arch cut into the base and him holding gun as well as standing on the fenders of the car. The second also includes automobile camping photos with tent and cots folded out of the rear of the automobile driving into Vancouver B.C. as well as driving to Mount Rainier and more along the Columbia River Highway and Mount Hood. Also featured are hunting shots in Eastern Oregon construction of a summer log cabin and much more. Mackay 1883-1959 was a mechanical engineer machinist gearhead racecar builder who came West working for the railroad as a machinist before working for Paragon Co. in Seattle as parts manager. He owned and operated the MacKay Automotive Repair at 165 E. 39th in Portland OR on the SW corner of 39th Cesar Chavez and Belmont for years before working at Albina Engine & Machine Works at the end of the Great Depression. One of the photos in the 2nd album shows MacKay with his camera shooting a photo and several show Julia MacKay’s 1880-1958 sisters and family. Should be noted we unknowingly catalogued an album on Seattle Auto Racing and Motorcycle Clubs from before World War I without having had access to these unknown albums.

19316 pages, including 3 sketch maps. Plus a few photographic plates. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. Some crease to pages and wrappers, otherwise this is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Michael Terry, known as "The Last of the Australian Explorers" was an explorer and gold prospector, and the leader of fourteen inland Australia expeditions between 1923 and 1935, mainly working for Adelaide mining companies seeking minerals. This is a succinct account of his prospecting expedition to the Petermann and Tomkinson Ranges in Central Austraila, in which he traversed approximately 3000 miles in the lands west of the Overland Telegraph Line in search of useful minerals including gold. Terry did not find any significant mineral, but found great quality pastoral land in and adjacent to the Tomkinson, Mann, and western portion of the Musgrave Ranges.

1519rif. 57522Various places mostly Sand Point Id. and Victor Mt. 1915-1938. Preaching in Montana and Idaho During War and Peace Two volumes of an unidentified pastor's register for a variety of locations in Idaho Montana and Washington beginning during the First World War and continuing throughout the entire interwar period. In it the unnamed pastor records his sermons the dates and locations they were given their titles the number of people in the congregation and frequently supplies notes about the service weather or other local events. In addition he has recorded extensive lists of baptisms marriages new church members and funerals throughout the entire period providing valuable demographic and genealogical information. On the rear pastedown of the earlier volume the writer has provided a brief history of his service: he began his ministry in 1893 and spent several years preaching in Alabama before moving to a variety of churches across the country including in Tennessee New York and Texas. The registers begin with a new appointment in Sand Point Idaho in November of 1915. During this period of worldwide tension and struggle the pastor's early entries often allude to the political situation at home or the ongoing war. On November 5 1916 - the day of the 1916 Presidential Election - the topic of his sermon appropriately enough is "Presidents." On December 28th of that year he notes that "Soldiers came home." Since the United States had yet to join in World War I this perhaps refers to new trainees inducted as part of the National Defense Act of 1916 which significantly increased the size of the Army and National Guard. The next year America had joined the war and supplies at home were scarce in the face of international pressures and German submarine patrols. In this environment a sermon was delivered on October 14 1917 titled "Food Conservation." In 1918 he notes a guest lecture by a "Mr. Krikorian" which proved to be "a splendid meeting on the Armenian situation. Collection $409.45." That year saw the beginning of several years of armed conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan exacerbated by meddling from the Soviets Ottomans and the British. Things didn't improve quickly for Sand Point as September of 1918 saw the first hometown death - a "Memorial service for W.D. Martin - Killed in France. First of Co. A to fall." His loss was dearly felt by his community as evidenced by a turnout of 225: much greater than the average congregation of fifty to eighty for that church. We unfortunately are not privy to the speech our record keeper would have made around Armistice Day November 11 1918; he was unable to preach for six weeks due to catching the Spanish Flu. The pandemic was keenly felt even in Idaho where annotations over the next several months note that the "flu scare is on." His topical lectures for the period end on April 13 1919 with an entry titled "Lecture on the League of Nations." Besides making note of current events in his sermons the preacher at times uses these registers as a journal. Particularly after moving to a new position serving Victor and Stevensville Montana in 1921 he struggles to reckon with the frigid temperatures and seems to have developed an interest in sports often noting local baseball and basketball games. One day in particular his sermon was not well attended because he assumes "many at ball game." Aside from taking notice of "much sickness" during the 1923 measles outbreak current events feature less in the remainder of the register. The Depression doesn't seem to have been strongly felt in his leg of Montana - or at least it is not much reflected in the register except perhaps for slightly decreased congregations in 1930 and 1931 which quickly recovered to record numbers or a 1933 sermon on "Hunger & Thirst." A guest lecturer "Reverend Adams of China" also delivered a speech on that country in 1933 but it is unclear whether or not that was related to the ongoing Uighur uprising or simply a description for a Western audience. The final entry is for a sermon given on Thanksgiving of 1938. An extensive and detailed record of a pastor's work throughout World War I and the entire interwar period augmented by a remarkable wealth of detail on local baptisms funerals and marriages in Idaho and Montana. Quarto. Original three-quarter leather and pebbled black cloth gilt. Leather rubbed both spines perished boards detached and most leaves of first volume loose hinges of second volume cracked but holding. Internally clean and unmarked. The bindings only fair but internally near fine. hardcover

19408vo. 8 pages, plus 2 full page sketch maps and photographic plate illustrations. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Significant for its early account of biodiversity in the now protected "Coral Triangle" of the Pacific, Cheesman's succinct and well illustrated primary source reveals highlights of an entire year of entomological research on little-known islands of the Pacific, just north of the Dampier Strait, in Papua New Guinea, on behalf of the Natural History division of the British Museum. The splendid coral reefs of Mayalibit Bay, limestone mountains and formations, a wealth of exotic vegetation, mangrove swamps, fauna and reptilia are but a few features examined. On the volcanic Mount Nok she set up camp, where she interacted with native inhabitants of small villages, remarking on their language, education, and on previous feuds with "Bush Tribes.' On Japen island she first establishes camp on Mt. Baduri, from where she collects samples and observes birds. before relocating to two other locations. In the tropical forests for six months, many samples were acquired, and a remarkable storm was documented.
