    29/07/2014 4:47 PM http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~westklic/howcoc7a.htm Search billions of records on Ancestry.com Search POST OFFICES WITHIN THE PRESENT BOUNDARY OF WASCO COUNTY The names and data pertaining to the post offices of Wasco county was supplied by Edwin R. Payne, Salem, Oregon post office clerk, stamp and cover collector who said, "my stamp and cover collecting hobby led to old covers (envelopes) postmarked from post offices in Oregon that no longer exist. In order to know where these places were I started a list of dead post offices. Others gave me help and I made research in old postal guides in various libraries, but such directories gave no dates of establishment or discontinuation of offices. I interested Lewis McArthur in the subject and through him and a close friend in Washington, D.C., we hired girls to copy the Oregon post office ledgers, about 4000 work sheets, in the National Archives! From those sheets I have compiled the Oregon post office list of all offices! They could be obtained in no other way and from no other source. All of this information will be in the third edition of Lewis A. McArthur's OREGON GEOGRAPHIC NAMES which will be off the Binford & Mort press in Portland November 1952. It is a must for history lovers and collectors." From Mr. Payne's list of Oregon post offices we have compiled two lists of Wasco county post offices. The first list are the 55 offices within the present boundary of Wasco county. The distances indicated from The Dalles are by the original roads, not our longer highways.

  • Washington Transportation Chronology
    Transportation Chronology by Kit Oldham, updated 2004/p.1 Updated by Kit, 2004 WASHINGTON TRANSPORTATION CHRONOLOGY 1835. The Hudson's Bay Company ship Beaver is the first steamship to travel on Puget Sound. HL #1946 October-November, 1845 . The Michael Simmons-George Bush party cuts a makeshift road from Cowlitz Landing (now Toledo) on the Cowlitz River to Budd Inlet on Puget Sound, where they establish Tumwater, the first American settlement north of the Columbia River. Dorpat, 63; HL # 5646; Meeker, 158. 1851 . A crude wooden track portage line along the north bank of the Columbia river at the Cascades in the Columbia Gorge is the first railway constructed in the future Washington. Schwantes, Railroad , 15. 1852 . The first road established by law in the future Washington state is Byrd's Mill Road between Puyallup, Tacoma, and Steilacoom, established by the Oregon Territorial Legislature. Garrett, 3. 1853 . First overland passenger service from Olympia to the Columbia River begins; passengers are initially carried on freight wagons known as mudwagons (given the poor conditions on the route which do not improve much even when a military road is completed in 1861), with stage coaches coming into use as passengers numbers increase. (Except for the Columbia-Puget Sound connection, stagecoaches are little used in Western Washington, as the waters of Puget Sound provide the crucial transportation links). Dorpat, 66-67; Schwantes, Journey , 88-89. 1853. The steamer Fairy is the first steamer to provide regular service among Puget Sound ports. HL #869 January 7, 1853. Congress appropriates $20,000 for a military road from Fort Steilacoom to Fort Walla Walla by way of Naches Pass, a route that Indians used for generations to travel between Puget Sound and the Yakima Valley.

    ADDRESS OF JOSEPH N TEAL CHAIRMAN OF THE DAY THE DALLES-CELILO CANAL CELEBRATION BIG EDDYOREGON MAY 5'1915 ADDRESS OF JOSEPH N. TEAL CHAIRMAN OF THE DAY THE DALLES'CELILO CANAL CELEBRATION BicEDDY, OREGON, MAY 5, 1915 DEARLY ten years ago, to be exact, on the day of June, 19o5, a number of "open enthusiasts of the Northwest cele- l)rated the completion of the Oregon Port- N3rdriver"age Railway around the obstructions of the Columbia River. The last spike was driven home y t eiovernors o the threeorth- west states, Chamberlain of Oregon. Mead of \Vashington. and Gooding of Idaho.In addition to these gentlemen directly representing the states concerned. Mr. \V. D. \Vheel- wright, Mr. W. J. Mariner, and the speaker. also lent their aid in tying down the rail that allowed the first locomotive. the "C. H. Lewis." to pass over an unbroken line of steel from Celilo to the Big Eddy. The "Mountain Gem." under the command of Captain \V. P. Gray, made the trip from Lewiston to Celilo loaded with men and women, among them Senator Heyburn.The significance of that occasion lay quite as much in what was hoped for in the future as in what had been accomplished. The construction of a railroad nine miles long was not of much consequence : but the spirit behind its building carried a lesson which all could understand. Today we have come together to celebrate the consum- mation of the efforts, the hopes. the dreams of more than forty years. From the peerless city of Spokane.

    A - Te ioy of h Poa DithTic Corps 0f Egirteers ii 871 1969 U. S. ARMY ENGINEER DISTRICT, PORTLAND CORPS OF ENGINEERS PORTLAND, OREGON Printed: March 1970 This history of the Portland District was researched, and edited by Henry R. Richmond!!!, a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley where he was a history major. FOREWORD Since arriving in Portland in July 1967 to become District Engineer, I have had many opportunities to acquaint myself with the long, colorful history of the Portland District. One hundred years ago, the work of the District consisted of small, simple, almost quaint efforts to improve navigation. Pulling snags from river waterways, cutting a bar to seventeen feet with a primitive old bucket dredge, or dynamiting rocks out of the Columbia River are repre- sentative of the work done in the early days. By comparison, the massive, complex dams built by the District in modern times have made significant changes in the Columbia and Willamette river valleys. The story of how and why the District has progressed from small dredging and snagging activities to a great multiple purpose construction program is a very interesting one. Even more worthwhile is the story of how the work of the District has contributed to the welfare of the people of the Northwest. As this history explains, the work of the Corps helped to open up the Northwest. The prosperity of Portland and the Willamette Valley depended in large part on the early navigation projects of the Portland District. The Oregon Coast has been opened up to shipping by large jetty and dredging projects.
