2. 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.

More than a dozen men are each standing a wooden boat. The boats are flattened in profile and ride low in the calm water. The central area of the boat is used to pile up the oysters, and the oystermen stand on a broad rim that runs around the edge. They hold long poles in their hands. These are the handles of tongs, long tools with rake-like ends that are opened when put into the water, scraped against the oysters, and closed to haul up the catch. The men are dressed in working clothes such as overalls and hats. In the background are several larger boats. On the horizon mountains are visible.

On the right at the top of a table-flat bluff are two oddly-shaped objects that look like buildings. Below them in the river is a riverboat, with its steam or smoke plume trailing off to the left. The hills along the river narrow to a pass in the distance, and beyond them the water widens out again.

The Vista House at Crown Point on the Columbia River Highway near Portland, Oregon (Written in pencil on back of photo)

Description: A black-and-white photograph with the number 8601 written in white ink on the lower left corner. On the back of the photo is written in pencil "The Vista House at Crown Point on the Columbia River Highway near Portland, Oregon".

The view is up the Columbia River to the east during autumn or winter. We see partly-forested hills and mountains, the river and its banks, and far away snow on some mountains. In the foreground of the photo are bare-branched trees, evergreens, and telephone poles lining the road. A white wooden fence follows along part of the roadway. There seems to be some kind of building along the road leading up to Vista House, obscured behind the big evergreen in the foreground. Towards the right corner of the photo it looks as though an automobile is parked in the grass.

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."
