http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/55526069

The collection consists of one album of photographs taken during a trip by the Commercial Club of Chicago to the Snoqualmie Falls Power Company in March, 1901. The photographs document the company's power station building and intakes; substations in Seattle, Issaquah, and Renton; and the construction of power lines near Racing River, Cedar River, Preston, Issaquah, and Renton. Also shown are Snoqualmie Falls, Snoqualmie River, Port Blakeley Lumber Mill, Port Orchard Naval Yard, and salmon at a Seattle pier. Charles H. Baker probably took photographs 1-30, but photographs 31-36 were probably taken by another photographer, possibly John D. Cress.
