Boat Landing on Columbia River, Hood River, Oregon
Description
A hand-colored photograph of a boat landing, used as a postcard with the heading "Boat Landing on Columbia River, Hood River, Oregon" in red at the top. In the background of the photograph on the far side of the river are low hills and trees.On the near side, a stern wheeler dominates the scene. To either side of it are a barge and another smaller steamboat; behind the barge is the tip of a sail. The landing is across from a small island.The sternwheeler appears to have just arrived; a small crowd is on the upper deck and a larger crowd on the lower. A man or boy sits on the edge of the lower deck with his legs hanging over the water. On the bank a crowd of about two dozen men and women and a couple of horses is gathered. The women wear long dresses. Some of the men are in suits and others in work clothes. To the left of the landing is a white wooden gate and a barbed-wire fence.
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.

"Winter and Reflection" showing Castle Rock, Columbia River
Description
Colored image of Castle Rock on the Columbia River. This is a winter scene with snow on the riverbanks and tree limbs. Bare trees line the riverbanks of the Columbia River, merging with the green fir trees in the background. The view is centered as if from the middle of the river, looking into the background, directly at Castle Rock. A small rowboat with two passengers rests on the left riverbank. Castle Rock's reflection is cast upon the river showing colors of red rock, white snow and green plant growth at its crown.

In the foreground, trees or bushes frame the view; in the background the impressive shape of Rooster Rock rises above the water on the left of the picture. The rounded hill to the right is heavily wooded with conifers. High-water marks can be seen at the base of Rooster Rock.

8. Trevitt Monument, Memaloose Island
Trevitt Monument, Memaloose Island
Description
A black and white view of Trevitt Monument on Memaloose Island in the Columbia River east of Hood River. The monument, an obelisk of light-colored granite on a square base of darker stonework, marks the grave of a local pioneer named Victor Trevitt. A state senator 1866-74, he was buried in 1883 in the Indian burial ground at his request. The monument stands at the edge of the island, and two men stand on either side of it. In the foreground, another man in a hat, suit, and coat is holding a skull. The wooden boards and planks of a Native American burial structure seem to make a circle, which surrounds a jumbled assemblage of skulls and bones. One skull, towards the center, is noticeably darker than the other bones. Between the burial structure and the Trevitt Monument lies some sort of plank box or boat, with more skulls and bones on it. In the background is the river, with a concrete embankment showing on the opposite shore on the left. The rest of the shore is bare; behind it trees cover a gentle slope. "Memaloose" is a corruption of the Chinook language "Memalust" meaning "to die".
