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.

192760082Seattle & Dryad WA: Clark Kinsey Photographer; Duncan Lumber Co. Luedinghaus Lumber Co. ca. 1927. Three silver gelatin photographs sepia tinted sized 11 x 14.25 in. w/ photographer’s imprint in lower fore-edge of negative of 2 pencil annotations on versos of two with two of three printed on thick glossy photo paper third on thinner glossy paper stock w/ 2 very small perforated ownership stamps minor shelfwear rubbing edgewear still VG set. These three photographs document logging crews and operations following World War I for the largely forgotten Luedinghaus Lumber Co. based out of Dryad Washington in Lewis County subsidiary of the Duncan Lumber Co. based in Portland OR. In the 1920’s under the leadership of Texan George Duncan 1872-1945 the Duncan Lumber Co. was a fast expanding timber company sawmill operation and logging railroad. A Spanish-American War veteran he had served as a Captain and later a manager with the Kirby Lumber Co. and Continental Lumber Co. in Houston TX before moving to Portland in 1912. By 1913 he had organized the Duncan Lumber Co. and took over ownership of the Luedinghaus Bros. Lumber Co. in Dryad WA as well as the Meskill Lumber Co. in Meskill WA. In 1919 the Duncan Lumber Co. also secured all of the sawmill railroad and timber holdings of the companies. The first image reveals a Luedinghaus Lumber Co. Climax geared locomotive with some of the boiler manufacturing plate identification number lost to depth of field focus but clearly detailing Climax & Corry PA as manufacturing site; the second although titled “Lausinghaus Lumber Co. Dryad WA†was mislabeled by one of Clark Kinsey’s dark room processors and depicts one of the company’s Shay Locomotives No. 2 in this case and negative no. 47 with author’s imprint below caption; and finally the third K57A depicts a proud Luedinghaus Co. logger standing next to a giant cedar log about 12-14 feet in diameter with his crosscut saw embedded in the bark. Kinsey 1877-1956 first practiced photography with his brothers Darius and Clarence and during the Yukon Gold Rush operated a studio in Grand Forks. Shortly before World War I he began documenting logging and milling camps across the Pacific Northwest shooting over 50000 images before retirement in 1945. His logging photos possess remarkable clarity and detail because he largely shot with a 11 x 14 in. view camera and unfortunately on very unstable nitro-cellulose film stock so only a percentage survive. George Duncan’s company did not survive the Great Depression and by 1940 he was working as manager for the West Coast Lumber Co. in Corvallis OR. Harry Duncan was divorced by his wife Dorothy Nathalie Sorg 1910-2006 in 1942 and later remarried continuing to work in other lumber firms in the Oregon and California. We could locate only 3 similar Kinsey images of the two different locomotives and no holdings of “K57A.†See: Clark Kinsey and the Documentation of the Pacific Northwest Logging Industry Photograph Collection University of Washington Libraries; West Coast Manufacturers’ Consolidation Adds to Portland’s Important Industries American Lumberman Part 2 Nov. 29 1919 pp. 53-54 75-78; A.E.
