21. No. 161. Columbia River Highway near Celilo, Ore.
No. 161. Columbia River Highway near Celilo, Ore.
Description
A black-and-white photograph. Written on the bottom in white ink is "No. 161. Columbia River Highway near Celilo, Ore. B.C. Markham The Dalles Ore." In the foreground is a stretch of the highway. It looks as though a fence runs along the other side of the road, which appears to have a steep drop-off since the tops of telephone or telegraph poles can be seen running parellel to it. A few large trees are near the river bank. On the farther shore of the Columbia River are two figures wearing long capes or blankets. The river bank and the hills that rise up on that side are stark, barren of trees and strongly contured.

This ship is much larger than the other two at right, and has been identified as the "Bailey Gatzert". One of the other steamers has been identified as the "Charles R. Spencer". Their smokestacks all belch smoke. In the river some small islands can be seen. On the further shore, a low, well-forested riverbank with a settlement of houses rises to wooded hills. To the center right of the picture the locks are seen. The Cascade Locks were completed in 1896, and submerged in 1938 as a result of the construction of the Bonneville Dam.
