192862236Macon County Tacoma & Seattle WA: Timber Views Co. ca. 1928. Six silver gelatin photographs sized 11 x 14 in. on thick glossy photo stock photographer’s imprint negative no. and location w/in negative at lower fore-edge slight curvature to corners still a very good set. An exceptional group of six original Darius Kinsey photographs capturing the construction project of Lake Cushman Tacoma Dam Site No. 2 engineering crew work crews massive log rafts floating on the lake as well as the finished Tacoma Dam No. 1. The Lake Cushman dam was first proposed in 1919 as the demand for power in Tacoma had vastly expanded during World War I and under direction of Ira S. Davisson the Tacoma Power Co. finished Dam no. 1 by 1926 using a concrete arch gravity and embankment design diverting water to a power house on Hood Canal. The second smaller Cushman Dam No. 2 construction as depicted here in these photos was begun and formed the small 150-acre Kokanee lake with this power house setting further down on the Hood Canal. The construction of the Tacoma Narrows transmission line stretching a mile and a quarter between towers in Tacoma and Gig Harbor were the longest in the World at the time. The Skokomish Tribal Council filed suit originally in 1930 over the destruction of their salmon run treaty rights and destruction of the salmon runs. These lawsuits spanned the next 70 years as the tribe claimed that not only had the project wiped out fishing/hunting grounds but also unlawfully enriched the City of Tacoma without lawful recompense of the resources to the Skokomish. January 13 2009 the City of Tacoma and the Skokomish Indian Tribe officially settled the dispute calling for the tribe to receive an up-front cash payment 7.25 percent of the value of electric production from Cushman Site No. 2 and transofer of $ 23 million in land including Camp Cushman the 500-acre Nalley Ranch and Saltwater Park. Darius Kinsey 1869-1945 had originally partnered with Alfred Kinsey in late 1889 but by 1896 had established a studio at Sedro Woolley north of Seattle and would continue to operate off an on together with photographic expeditions until 1906 when Darius opened his own studio in Seattle. His images would later capture the operations of the U.S. Spruce Production Division during World War I. In 1919 the couple changed the name of their studio to Timber Views Co. and were active commercial photographers in the Puget Sound Region including for the Lake Cushman projects.

These original mimeograph Reclamation Service engineering volumes detail the specifications for the construction of the Keechelus Dam and Keechelus Lake project at the beginning of the 20th century as part of six reservoirs intended originally to fertilize the verdant Yakima Valley. The Pacific Northwest private irrigation companies lacked the capital and engineering expertise to make the investment so through the Land Reclamation Act of 1902 the Keechelus project arose. Employing over 600 engineers surveyors and laborers The Keechelus Dam was completed from 1913-1917 at the head of the Yakima River and provided about 15 percent of the water stored for the Yakima Irrigation District. By the end of the 1990s it was determined that the dam was facing potential failure from piping and erosion so an elevation of 2510 feet was imposed and modifications and reconstruction were undertaken to control seepage and reduce erosion. The maps included in these volumes encompass the size of the Lake Dam the Spillway elevations of the Spillway Plan and Profile of the original dam under construction detailed record map of test pits as well as relocation of State Roads. Swigart 1864-1928 was an Ohio-born civil engineer who had been located in Everett WA at the time the project was first proposed and by 1903 was located in Yakima WA overseeing and directing the variety of reservoir projects as well as the reports on stream-flow records previously under the direction of the Geological Survey. Many of these maps show progress reports in hand-colouring indicating areas finished or under construction. No copies located in Worldcat.
