Photo Description

South side of Granite St. from just west of Mill St. almost to the river. Information on back of photo: Edwards Drug Store is just out of photo at left edge. Ed Hauser's Olympia Saloon, first building on left, later became a soda fountain addition to Edwards Drug Store. Man at far left is S. S. Ferrill, the first forest supervisor, April 1906 to February 1907. Brooks Hawley thinks this may have been a gathering of 200 stockmen seeking grazing permits mentioned in a Blue Mountain American newspaper item of November 16, 1906. Dr. Pierce is in the second group in straw hat and hand to chin. Probably Ed Hauser in shirt sleeves between the two groups.
