[or-roots] Row River Row

[Dale Harguess]

once again you folks have peeked my interest.  I have been trying to find
out for years if there was ever a large logging camp near Portland in the
1917 to 1919 time frame.  My grandmother was a cook in a logging camp at
that time and that is where she met my grandfather who was also a cook in
the same logging camp.  I have a photo of some of the loggers standing in
the camp near a building but can't identify it.  It is one of those old
wide, about 12 inches wide by about 3-1/2 inches tall.  I have several of
those old photos from the time frame of about 1910 to 1920.
I sure would like to know the name of the logging camp and if there is any
information about it.
