Most often their environment consists of badly-lit rooms filled with poorly-designed furniture. Great then is the pleasure when the task at hand calls for hiking through the splendid valleys and magnificent vistas of a land such as the North Cascades. Equally pleasant is the opportunity to meet and talk with the people who live in that land. From such an experience should come an inspired and definitive history. Alas, this report is not inspired, and it certainly is not definitive. But I enjoyed every minute of its preparation, and accept the responsibility for its errors and shortcomings. In preparing the report I met some great people, men and women who love the North Cascades and who generously shared their knowledge of the history of these mountains. My thanks go to all of them. Superintendent Roger Contor, Jerry Hammond, Harry Wills, George Wagner, Jerry Wood, Darell Wilsie, Sy Hentges, Edith Gibson, and Paul Sollie, all treated me royally and contributed much to the report. Neal A. Butterfield, Northwest Regional Office, demonstrated great patience when I fell behind schedule. James Larson, Office of Natural Science Studies, helped make my first visit to the park a memorable occasion. Supervisor H. C. Chriswell and Mr. Donald E. Allen, Mount Baker National Forest, Bellingham, made available the history files of the national forest. James M. Trappe, Principal Mycologist, U.S. Forest Service, discussed at length the history of Stehekin, an area he knows well. Bruce Le Roy, Director, Washington State Historical Society, Tacoma, and his competent staff made available the rich treasures of the Society's library and archives. Mrs. Anna M. Ibbotson, Assistant Librarian, brought to my attention several important documents and illustrations. At the University of Washington Library, Seattle, Andrew Johnson helped me locate material in the Pacific Northwest collections. Thanks to Allan May, reporter on The Everett Herald, this study has a photograph of the power plant in the Skagit Queen area. Mr. May took this picture in a heavy rainstorm under uncomfortable and frustrating conditions. The photographs of Horseshoe Basin would be missing from this report were it not for the kindness of several people. On my way out of the basin, I accidentally left my camera on the trail. Some visitors found it and turned it in to the Stehekin ranger station. Mr. Ernie Gibson, pilot supreme, kindly flew the camera to Chelan in time to catch up with me. A special thanks goes to several historians of the area: Paul Curtis Pitzer, whose study on the Skagit River was indispensable; Bruce Mitchell, Wenatchee, who gave me an afternoon of his time in discussing the Chelan area; and Mr. and Mrs. Charles M. Dwelley, Concrete, who publish The Concrete Herald and make the best coffee on the Skagit River. A very special thanks goes to the citizens of Stehekin who told me the history of the valley as they had seen it unfold: Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bird, who invited me into their friendly cabin; Mr. and Mrs. Curt Courtney, who set a superb table; Mr. and Mrs. Ray Courtney, one of the great guides in all the mountains of the West; and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Buckner. I shall not http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/noca/hbd/ack.htm[11/22/2013 2:19:00 PM] North Cascades:History Basic Data (Acknowledgments) forget the evening when we strolled over the Buckners' meadow. Golden twilight filtered down from the mountains. A light mist floated up from the river. A mother Canada goose warned us to keep our distance. A deer slipped silently from the trees and walked across our path. I have never been able to explain what Western history is, but it includes all that as well as the traditional aspects. Finally, my thanks go to Mr. Joseph S. De Leon, Seattle City Light Department who generously made available a large amount of material on the history of hydroelectricity on the Skagit River. Erwin H. Thompson <<< Previous <<< Contents>>> Next >>> noca/hbd/ack.htm Last Updated: 11-Jun-2008 http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/noca/hbd/ack.htm[11/22/2013 2:19:00 PM] North Cascades:History Basic Data (Introduction) NORTH CASCADES History Basic Data INTRODUCTION Masses of geologically young raw peaks rear skyward. Immense valleys, U-shaped by glaciers, channel swift-flowing streams. Green-black forests protect mosses and flowers. Blue glaciers strain as they tear at granite rock. A notched log decays slowly as a pioneer's cabin returns to the earth. These are the North Cascades, a wondrous, dynamic parkland. The National Park complex consists of the North Cascades National Park proper, Ross Lake National Recreation Area, and Lake Chelan National Recreation Area. [1] The Park proper is divided into two separate areas. The northern portion, which leans against the Canadian border, is centered on Mount Shuksan and the Picket Range. The southern unit, which includes Eldorado Peak (a mountain that rises 7,000 feet in less than two miles), Boston Peak, and dozens of other mountains, is separated from the northern one by Ross Lake National Recreation Area. This narrow ribbon includes the Skagit River and seventeen miles of Ross Lake, once a part of the river itself. The southeastern end of the complex is called Lake Chelan National Recreation Area. It encompasses the lower part of the Stehekin River and the upper end of 50-mile long Lake Chelan, the product of a mighty tongue of glacial ice. The mountains do not stop at the park boundaries. To the west and south lies Mount Baker National Forest whose namesake is the tallest peak in Washington north of Mount Rainier.

  • Sumpter Valley Railroad Interpretive Site
    Welcome to the Dixie Pass, part of the Sumpter Valley Railroad ca. 1890 to 1947 Introduction • The Oregon Lumber Company in agreement with Union Pacific built the Sumpter Valley Railway in 1890 as a way to access rich tracts of timber southwest of Baker City. • The Railway replaced wagons as the primary transportation to McEwan, Sumpter, Whitney, Austin and Bates, Oregon, until the advent of trucking. • In 1987 seven portions of the Railway were listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as the Sumpter Valley Railway Historic District. • One portion, Dixie Pass, the newest addition to the Sumpter Valley Railway, was built ca. 1910 as part of an attempt to finish the Nevada-California-Oregon Railroad. This route was important to John Day Valley ranchers for transportation of their livestock to market. You are following in the footsteps of Sumpter Valley interpretive trail at the Malheur National Forest. First Stop: Sumpter Valley Railway History American Indians first created trails through these mountains hundreds of years ago. Later, in 1825, Hudson-Bay Fur company trappers, lead by Peter Skene Ogden, crossed this very pass. In 1862 more people made this difficult journey by stagecoach and freight wagon in search of gold. Gold prospectors were followed by farmers, ranchers and others. In 1890, David Eccles, a prominent businessman from Utah, helped create the Oregon Lumber Company and plans were set in motion to build a railroad to haul logs to a sawmill in Baker city. The first 22 miles of track ran through the mountains to McEwen. By 1910 the rails were over 80 miles long, reached all the way to Prairie City, and hauled logs, livestock, people, and other freight.

  • Burrard Inlet Underwater Noise Study
    Vancouver Fraser Port Authorit Burrard Inlet underwater noise study: 2020 final report ECHO Program study summary This study was undertaken for the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority-led Enhancing Cetacean Habitat and Observation (ECHO) Program and project partner Tsleil-Waututh Nation with financial support from Transport Canada to learn more about underwater noise and cetacean presence in Burrard Inlet. Building upon the 2019 monitoring project in Burrard Inlet, this project set out to monitor underwater noise and the presence of cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoise) in Burrard Inlet, a marine mammal habitat and a key waterway for commercial shipping, port-related activities, and passenger transportation. This document summarizes the project question and describes the methods, key findings, and conclusions. What questions was the study trying to answer? The second year of the Burrard Inlet underwater noise study sought to evaluate longer-term trends in total ambient noise and marine mammal presence, while building upon the results from 2019. Who conducted the project? SMRU Consulting North America (SMRU) was awarded the contract for the 2019 monitoring program, and was retained by Vancouver Fraser Port Authority to continue monitoring though 2020 at fewer sampling locations. What methods were used? Bottom-mounted SoundTrap hydrophone recorders were deployed in two locations in the inner and outer harbour: one at Burrard Inlet East near the Tsleil-Waututh Nation reserve lands and Burnaby petroleum terminals, and one in English Bay between anchorages 1 and 3. Acoustic data were collected over approximately one year between February 2020 and February 2021. The figure below shows the approximate locations of the hydrophone deployments.

Subscription price monthly Bulletin and Annual, $5.00 per year. EDITORIAL STAFF: Alice Thorn, editor; Loretta Slat­ er, Betty Manning. Material and photographs should be submitted to The Mountaineers, at above address, before Novem­ ber 1, 1969, for consideration. Photographs should be black and white glossy prints, 5x7, with caption and photographer's name on back. Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced and include writer's name, address and phone number. foreword Since the North Cascades National Park was indubi­ tably the event of this past year, this issue of The Mountaineer attempts to record aspects of that event. Many other magazines and groups have celebrated by now, of course, but hopefully we have managed to avoid total redundancy. Probably there will be few outward signs of the new management in the park this summer. A great deal of thinking and planning is in progress as the Park Serv­ ice shapes its policies and plans developments. The North Cross-State highway, while accessible by four­ wheel vehicle, is by no means fully open to the public yet. So, visitors and hikers are unlikely to "see" the changeover to park status right away. But the first articles in this annual reveal both the thinking and work which led to the park, and the think­ ing which must now be done about how the park is to be used.
