Description: A sepia-toned photograph of a steamboat, possibly the River Columbia, at a wharf. The boat is crowded with men, women, and children. A man can be seen at the helm with his hand on the wheel; some of the crowd sit on or stand in front of the railings of the deck; the crowd spills off the prow onto the gangplank and the dry land. Members of a brass band can be seen displaying their instruments.

Description: A black-and-white stereoscopic view published by Underwood & Underwood. The caption reads "Stupendous Log-Raft, containing millions of feet - a Camp's years's work, profit $20,000 - Columbia River, Oregon. Copyright 1902 L, Underwood & Underwood." A huge log raft is floating on the Columbia. Six men can be seen on it; three are standing as if posed for the camera in the foreground, and three others seem to be working in the background. The men wear work clothes such as overalls, and some wear hats. The logs have been stripped of their bark and laid together end-to-end, then chained across. A few loose logs float in the river at the left side of the "raft"; on its right side can be seen the trees that line the shore.

Description: A view of the Columbia River shore at Arlington, Oregon, on January 12, 1909. The Columbia River is frozen. In the foreground is the white riverbank, with a large boulder to the left. Near the shore on the right of the photo is a pier, with a sailboat at its end. In the center we see a stern-wheeler. A long rope leads out from it and is coiled on the frozen river. A group of five men stand nearby, close to a rectangular area of water that has been freed of ice. Their attention is on a sixth man who is standing in a rowboat pushing at the ice with a long pole. One of the group on the river also carries a long pole. The writing on the photograph says the temperature is 20 below zero and the first time in 24 years the river had frozen over.

Description: A black-and-white photo. The caption written on it in white ink says "Ice blockade, Columbia River. Arlington, Ore. Jan. 19, 1909. Foto by, M.E. Shurte." A fishing or tug boat and two row boats are hemmed in by the ice on the river. Butted up against the larger boat is a raft or dock, with a man standing on it leaning over a railing. The smaller boats appear to be tied to this raft or dock. Although there is a little water in the foreground, the river appears to be mostly covered with ice. Low bluffs line the far shore.

Description: A black-and-white photograph. Written at the bottom in white ink is "Ice blockade Columbia River. Arlington, Ore, Jan. 19. 1909. Foto by M.E. Shurte." In the foreground twigs of bare branches stick up from the snow on the bank. To the right is some kind of building. Although there seems to be clear water near the shore, the rest of the river looks frozen over. Across the river are low bluffs.

Description: A black-and-white photograph. At the bottom is written in white ink "Ice banks, 20 feet high, on the banks of the Columbia, at Arlington, after the blockade, Jan 21,1909." On the riverbank the ice is piled up in geometric chunks and is beginning to melt. Behind the ice two black shapes, like boards or masts, stick up diagonally. In the distance are low hills.
