-rotor, body good inside and out.
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.

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

sed giants, paddile wh els splash

such, large and little, were a
wonder to see in any Portland
dawp.
Most of them would head down
th? Willamette for the Columbia.

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.
