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.

Military Arrest in a Border StateABAA

MANUSCRIPT LETTER SIGNED BY "MARY" DESCRIBING THE MILITARY ARREST AND DETENTION WITHOUT TRIAL OF PROFESSOR ROBERT W. NEWMAN OF BELAIR MARYLAND FOR ALLEGED CONFEDERATE SYMPATHIES

186337344Belair Maryland 1863. Neat ink manuscript. 4pp on a sheet folded to 6-78" x 8." Very Good. Maryland -- like her sister Border States of Delaware Missouri and Kentucky-- was a Slave State whose government remained loyal to the Union during the War. But each of those States contained many Confederate sympathizers. President Lincoln's policy was to suspend Habeas Corpus and subject such persons to military arrest and imprisonment generally without charging them or granting them access to the normal incidents of due process. One such unfortunate Robert W. Newman is the subject of this letter from an associate known only as "Mary." Newman was Principal of Maryland's Harford Academy. "His arrest took place at Belair near Baltimore in the latter part of June 1863 and was made by Lieutenant Offley at the head of a detachment of Delaware cavalry stationed in Baltimore and commanded by the notorious Colonel Fish then acting as Provost Marshal of the City." Marshall AMERICAN BASTILLE. A HISTORY OF THE ILLEGAL ARRESTS AND IMPRISONMENT OF AMERICAN CITIZENS DURING THE LATE CIVIL 621-623. Philadelphia: 1870. After about a month's imprisonment he was released without charges. We have been unable definitively to identify Mary. From context she was a close associate-- a relative close friend possibly even his wife. Her Letter reads in full capitalizations are underlined in the original: "Belair July 15 /63. Dear Mother Brothers & Sisters "This is a gloomy Sabbath morning to me I can assure you; it will be a week tomorrow morning since Mr. Newman was taken PRISONER with another gentleman of this village and CONFINED in the COUNTY JAIL; no charge was preferred against them; they were arrested by a detachment of the 1st Delaware regiment. The officer who arrested them said he was acting under orders from a superior officer from the war department. They were kept in jail from Monday till Thursday. The officer told me they must go before the provost marshall and have a hearing. Then we would know why they were arrested. I have anxiously looked every day since they were taken from here for an account of their appearance before the provost marshall but have heard no tidings of them. I shall probably know something of their whereabouts before long but I thought it not best to delay writing you any longer as you must be anxious to hear from me surrounded as I am with such commotion. For the last four days we have heard the roar of cannon on the battle field. Our little village is desolate. Many of the men have fled since the arrests fearing a like fate. This whole country is in a state of the WILDEST EXCITEMENT. "There is no Service in any of the churches in Belair today. The FUNERAL PALL has settled upon our very homes. Who can describe the SADNESS that broods over our land TODAY. "I have about two thousand dollars worth of property here to take care of so I cannot leave NOW under any circumstances. Mr. Newman's friends will never let me suffer. Mr. Newman MAY BE released in a short time but I think it MORE PROBABLE he will be sent South or to a distant fort. If Mr. Newman is taken from us by death or imprisonment for a long period or is sent South and goes into the army you all know I shall never settle myself here. I shall endeavor to wait patiently for the future to be revealed and at the same time thank my Heavenly father that he has given me strength of body and mind to endure my trials. I have felt stronger since Mr. Newman's imprisonment than I have before for several months. It is of course nervous excitement. I am taking medicine under the doctor's instruction. I take a glass of wine every day at dinner. "I read Phebe's letter-- glad you are all getting along so well. Write as soon as you get this that I may hear from you Saturday. You dont know how DESOLATE I am- dont fail to write. "Yours in affliction-- Mary unknown books

196222767Jerusalem: State of Israel Central Bureau of Statistics 1962. First edition. Hardcover. vg. Folio. xxviii127pp. Dark blue mottled oil cloth ledger binding with two metal bolts. Compiled by Arieh Shahar Uzi Paran Arieh Bittan with a preface by Professor R. Bachi the Government Statistician. Details every administrative area of Israel at the time of its 2nd census after its creation in 1948. "Presents a detailed description of two urban geographical-statistical frameworks: geographical-statistical areas within the boundraies of urban settlements and conurbations around the large cities." Along with population data the volume also provides an exhaustive account of public buildings industrial areas commercial and business areas as well as agricultural and special function areas. The census divides Israel into 31 urban settlements with the total population in these administrative areas numbering at 1488622. Of the three major municipalities at the time Jerusalem prior to the annexation of East Jerusalem in 1967 numbers at 166301 residents Haifa at 182007 and Tel Aviv at at 386612. Illustrated with numerous maps 21 of them on foldout plates all 1:20000 scale denoting administrative sectors municipal boundaries paved and unpaved roads some public buildings and topographical landmarks. Taken still shortly after the creation of the country this study does not provide data regarding the "natural geographical regions" of Israel. Overall a fascinating study on the rate of growth and expansion of settlement blocs in Israel showing the inception of what will eventually be heavily populated cities within the "Green Line." The majority of text and charts are given in English and Hebrew English introduction on front Hebrew on back; however many specific details such as buildings street names etc. are given only in Hebrew. Ex-libris on back board. Corners slightly bumped. Overall in very good condition. State of Israel Central Bureau of Statistics hardcover
