A Typical Small Sawmill
Unused Plastichrome card P6233. Unusually, there is a silver overlay on the caption area, and a caption on that. It looks like they might have made a printing mistake during the original run, and corrected it by doing this. We’re not certain. Grade: 1

Celilo Falls of the Columbia River
Although this unused card is in generally poor condition, it does have a story. Celilo means “sound of water upon the rocks” in various local languages, and these Falls were (was?) submerged by The Dalles Dam in 1957. As for the card, it has multiple stains and abrasions on the reverse. Grade: 4

Portland, Hotel Belvedere, The Louvre Restaurant
Unused, undivided back card with instructions to use a 2-cent stamp, so it’s hard to judge the card’s age. As we often do, we went to Google to check the hotel’s history. The first several entries all pointed to similar stories, of which we reproduce some of one here: “The Louvre was an elegant restaurant located in the Hotel Belvedere on the northeast corner of Fourth and Alder. Built in 1891, the Belvedere survived the massive flood of 1894 and was purchased in 1907 by property developer Theodore Kruse. Once he owned the restaurant, Kruse turned it into a “bohemian” place. Separate restaurants were located inside, one for mixed male‑female dining and one for men only. (It isn’t known if there was one for women only as well.) The “Gents’ Dining Room” looked different from that of the mixed dining room. The men‑only dining room sported potted palms and mirror‑lined walls. The Louvre became infamous in certain legal circles. It possessed a liquor license, and there a number of reports in local newspapers cited liquor law violations. In one from 1908, the Louvre found itself on a list of eight “gay refectories” where the “gay laugh” could be heard.” That’s enough from us, and this card does cite Kruse as the proprietor. Grade: 2

Returning from the Sea to Oregon Coast
Can you spot the ship? Whoever bought this card, so long ago, had several cards and wrote a long letter extending over more than one of those. So this B&W card’s reverse is completely covered with a middle part of that letter. Grade: 4

Code: 10138112
Price: $2.00

Mt. Hood
Not just Mt. Hood! Rhododendrons! Azaleas! And a somewhat confusing caption telling us that Mt. Hood is “one of the few snowcapped peaks which stands alone visible from all points of the compass”. (Why wouldn’t it be?) Unused Mike Roberts card C484. Grade: 1

Code: 10138115
Price: $1.00
Mt. Hood, Timberline Lodge
If you’re familiar with Stanley Kubrick’s film “The Shining”, you might recognize this hotel’s exterior shots.

Mailed in 2024, with five mostly old stamps (one is abraded), postmark, and sender’s and recipient’s address labels stuck on. Grade: 5
