5. Columbia Unveiled : being the story of a trip, alone, in a rowboat from the source to the mouth of the Columbia River, together with a full description of the country traversed, and the rapids battled, by an old voyager and whitewater man
Description
446 p. At the age of 68 M. J. Lorraine explored the Columbia River from its source to its mouth alone in a rowboat. He was the second person, after David Thompson in 1811, to make this unbroken voyage in one boat, which he had built himself.

6. Columbia River Log Raft ready for Ocean Voyage, Another raft under construction in background
Columbia River Log Raft ready for Ocean Voyage, Another raft under construction in background
Description
A colored photograph with the caption "Columbia River Log Raft ready for Ocean Voyage, Another raft under construction in background". In the foreground on the left side of the photo are log pilings and what looks like a water wheel or some sort of scaffolding on the side of a building. On the river and partly obscured by the pilings is a man in a rowboat. He seems to be regarding the cigar-shaped ocean-going log raft being pulled by a tugboat. There are chains holding the log raft together, running across the logs every few feet. White smoke or steam streams from the tug's smokestack. Another tug is approaching. To the right of the tugs is a log cradle where the rafts are formed. On the beach are what look like log buildings, with red roofs. At the far end of the buildings tall light-colored pilings are standing. Behind them and all along the shore is a lush forest.

Arlington, Ore. Jan. 12, 1909, 20 below zero. Columbia River Frozen over, The first time in 24 years.
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.
8. Ice blockade, Columbia River. Arlington, Ore. Jan. 19, 1909.
Ice blockade, Columbia River. Arlington, Ore. Jan. 19, 1909.
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.
9. Tonging for Toke Point Oysters, near mouth of the Columbia River
Tonging for Toke Point Oysters, near mouth of the Columbia River
Description
A photographic postcard that has been hand-tinted. The legend in red at the top reads "Tonging for Toke Point Oysters, near mouth of the Columbia River". 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.
