Old time dance., Old time dance on cedar stump[/i]

Dancing couples from left to right: George Deering, Stella Deering, Bertha Crossman, O.E. Crossman, Laura England, George England, Ruth Elwell, and W. Omar Moore. W.P.

Railroad trestles, almost pristine in their newness, cross the salt marshes of Grays Harbor at Hoquiam about 1891. In the center distance is the magnificent new Hoquiam Hotel , built in anticipation that the arrival of the railroad would bring tourists as well as industry. The hotel failed during the depression of the early 1890s, but the unappealing reality of the nearby beach probably contributed to its financial problems. Photographer unknown. Neg. no. UW4389[/i]
