North, rn Idaho valleys and the Spokane prairies, the Palouse and Walla Walla wheat sections, the main irrigater valleys, the regions of the Pend Oreille and ths Coeur d’Alene—all were largely settled and supplied by the sternwheeler, queen of river craft, likewise lady of the lake. She dispersed supplies up the freighting trails to the cattle coun try of Central Oregon, her cargoes f d and clothed the towns of the Willamette Valley, and the little settlements between Portland and Astoria, and she conquered the savage rapids of the Upper Rive.-. Sternwheelers floated the North west's lumber, wheat, wool, ore and livestock to market. They towed the logs. Th y carried the holiday crowds. Their races were th? great sporting events. There are men among the living who flush and tr.mble to i ecall the race of the Telephone and Olym pian on the Ilwaco run. After the first phase of North western pioneering, people moved and lived by paddle wagon until the coming of the railroads. River Glory The sternwheeltr fleets made a There was a time royal life. when as many as 50 of the craft, alive to the eye with plum.s of wood smoke from tall stacks, steam boiling forth with hellish hisses and snorts, walking beams working like the arms of harnes sed giants, paddile wh els splash ing powerfully—a full fleet oi j 0 such, large and little, were a wonder to see in any Portland dawp. Most of them would head down th? Willamette for the Columbia. Many were simple towboats. Tow ing windjammers to and from As toria. Towing log rafts and lum. ber barges and sawdust scows. Two or three queens leading the fleet. On ? of these supreme. May be a thousand-ton passenger boat, 40 feet widand 200 long, a model-bottom craft with a 30- foot sternwheel. Flags on her bow, striped awnings ov.r her decks. Passengers in swallow tails playing cards and drinking wine, bourbon and beer in her men’s cabin, as the day grew older, while ladies in long, ruffly dr.sses paraded the decks in fine weather. It made a surely handsom? sight, this queen of the sternwheel steamboats, flying down the shin ing river on a sunny Sunday morning. Such sternwheelers were the crowning glory of a life of men that commonly went on in the plain ways of hard labor. There was wood to heave, There was heavy and bulky cargo to handle—as baled hay, sack d wheat and green lumber. River towing was no play for anybody, A log raft is’ no fun to handle today. Wood on Water The Columbia was the first home of one of the bravest ships of history. This was the Beaver. Her story is well told—or, rather, retold in Gordon R. Newell’s book, “Ships of the Inland Sea— the Story of Puget Sound Steam boats.” The Beaver was a side wheel steamer, 101 feet in length, launched on the Thames in 1835, and wr.cked for the last time on Puget Sound rocks in 1888. The ship was sailed to Fort Van couver, and in 1836 fitted for steam power. Wood was her fuel. As Newell’s account has it. the Beaver carried t.n woodbucks. She would cruise one day, then tie up for a day while the ay- men procured 40 cords of wood to stack on deck for another day’s run. Newell lists more than 450 craft that made records of some im portance in the history of Puget Sound transportation. Dozens of them have epic stories—the first Goliah. the Eliza Anderson, for two familiar examples. Practi cally all of them had vital rela tionship of some kind to the tim ber industries. They were wood en ships, all but a very few, like the inland craft of our own day. f Teaching Post Taken for Year RIVERVIEW — Mr and Mrs. Francis Raines and children spznt several days at their home here, doing some work on their house.
