113. No. 126. River Front, Arlington, Oregon.
No. 126. River Front, Arlington, Oregon.
Description
A black-and-white photograph. At the bottom is written in white ink "No. 126. River Front, Arlington, Oregon. B.C. Markham The Dalles Ore." The picture was taken looking down a hill towards Arlington and the Columbia River. Various houses, yards, and buildings are visible. At the right of the photograph is a railyard, with a large water tank at far right and a smaller, taller one closer to the water. At least three segments of trains are on the tracks: one is on the outskirts of town, and a few other railroad cars are visible on two different tracks amongst the buildings of the railyard, including a boxcar with an open door and a round tanker car. In the distance beyond the town, the line of the railroad tracks and the line of a road parallel each other just above the river bank. The eye can follow them a long way down the river, past a landscape which with its treeless bluffs on both sides of the river looks barren and deserted. On the hill above them runs a line of telephone or telegraph poles which continues down into and through the village. In the foreground of the photo beyond the boulders at the edge of the hill from which the photo seems to have been taken is a house and yard (with the corner of another yard showing). Two privies or outhouses are visible at right. In the center a person in a hat and jacket stands next to a pile of firewood. Behind the person is a water pump in the yard. This house has a lean-to or shed which is roofed with tar paper and has a stove pipe sticking out. Other wooden houses, and some fenceposts, are visible through the scattered trees in the town.

Bridge of the Gods, Columbia River, On line of O. R. & N. Co.
Description
A colored postcard view of the Columbia River. In the top right-hand corner in red the text reads "Bridge of the Gods, Columbia River. On line of O. R. & N. Co." In the foreground of the picture is a rocky shore, and similar rocky islands are seen. Past them rush the foamy white-capped rapids of the river. Across the water, at the extreme left of the picture, is what appears to be a dwelling, with a fence or pilings driven in next to it along the water. In the middle of the far shore is a group of tipis. All along behind the shore is a dark row of forest trees, mostly conifers, but with some deciduous trees which are painted to indicate it is early fall, with orange and brown leaves amongst the green. Behind the strip of forest rise barren-looking mountains. O. R. & N. Co. stands for "Oregon Railway and Navigation Company".

Columbia River from St. Peter's Dome, Castle Rock in distance
Description
A colored photographic postcard. At the top left in red is the legend "Columbia River from St. Peter's Dome, Castle Rock in distance". In the foreground a man wearing a gray hat, red shirt, green-gold overalls, and black boots kneels at the top of a cliff on a formation identified as St. Peter's Dome. Below him is a steep but forested slope to the Columbia River below. At the bottom of the slope but further along the river is a segment of what appears to be a road or railroad right-of-way. Behind the man is a small waterfall. Beyond him is a view along the river, with Castle Rock half-obscured on the opposite shore, and mountains rising in the distance.

Ocean-Going Log Raft on the Columbia River
Description
A colored photographic postcard. At upper left the caption in red reads "Ocean-Going Log Raft on the Columbia River". The photo is dominated by the cigar-shaped "raft" of logs chained together. A length of chain is piled on top of them, along with some rope. The raft of logs appears to be floating next to a dock. In the distance on the water and near the shore are several other boats. Among the trees on the shore, there appears to be several large buildings. Far across the water are mountains.
