title: Fish wheel on the Columbia River, ca. 1910

description: Photograph of a fish wheel on the Columbia River, ca. 1910. The fish wheel is tied to the posts on the rocky shores in the foreground. Two planks run from the boat to the shores. A building is visible (at left). Trees cover the elevated land around the river.; "The fish wheel's main purpose is to catch fish. The fish wheel is simple to build. It's made from the wood in the surrounding area. People collect raft logs and green poles for the fish wheels. There are two paddle-like spokes on a wheel that radiates from a wooden axle and two wire baskets used to scoop fish. Water currents turn the fish wheel and as it goes around the fish swim into one of the wire baskets. The fish then fall into the box where they are stored until the fishermen return. The fishermen pick the fish up, then the people spend all day cutting the fish from the wheel and drying them." -- unknown author.

title: A boy riding on a Victoria Cruziana water lily pad in the middle of the pond, Huntington Gardens, San Marino, ca.1920

description: Photograph of a boy riding on a Victoria Cruziana water lily pad in the middle of the pond, Huntington Gardens, San Marino, ca.1920. A variety of water lilies and plants populate the pond. Rocks surround the shores of the pond.; "The largest water lilies are those of the tropical South American genus Victoria, comprising two species of giant water lilies. The leaf margins of both the Amazon, or royal, water lily (V. amazonica; formerly V. regia) and the Santa Cruz water lily (V. cruziana) have upturned edges, giving each thickly veined leaf the appearance of a large, shallow pan 60 to 180 centimetres (about 2 to 6 feet) across and accounting for its common name, water platter. The fragrant flowers of Victoria have 50 or more petals and are 18 to 46 centimetres (about 7 to 18 inches) wide. They open white toward evening and shade to pink or reddish two days later before they wither, to be replaced by a large berrylike fruit. Water lilies provide food for fish and wildlife but sometimes cause drainage problems because of their rapid growth. Many varieties have been developed for ornamental use in garden pools and conservatories." -- unknown author.

title: Painting depicting eucalyptus blossoms and seedpods, ca.1920-1925

description: Photograph of a painting depicting eucalyptus blossoms and seedpods, ca.1920-1925. About a dozen seedpods are shown blossoming, hanging in a branch down from the upper right corner. They are shown across a neutral background.; "This group consists of more than 400, quick-growing, tender, evergreen trees and some shrubs native to Tasmania and Australia. These unique trees can grow to gigantic proportions; some species can reach heights over 400 feet in their native habitats and up to 200 feet in California. Eucalyptus trees, also popularly known as Gum trees because some species exude a gum, are fragrant and normally pest-resistant. These trees have leathery, smooth, lance-shaped leaves, which have a more rounded shape when young. Their puffball-like flowers may be red or orange and are very attractive to bees. They have no petals, but instead, numerous stamens arising from a capsule-like calyx, which give them their fluffy appearance. The attractive, colorful bark of the stems and trunks of the Eucalyptus may be dappled in gray, green, russet, or cream and may peel in sheets. Besides the decorative qualities of the trees, Eucalyptus are valued for their timber, the important oils of the leaves and shoots, tannin, which is taken from the bark of some varieties, and a resinous substance known as kino. E. parvifolia is a beautiful, medium-sized species that has beautifully colored, peeling bark. At maturity, the leaves are small, slender, and blue-green. This species tolerates alkaline soil. E. citriodora (Lemon-scented gum) is a large, quick-growing tree with smooth, white bark and lemon-scented leaves. E. coccifera (Tasmanian snow gum) is a large tree with bloomy (bloom is a powdery, waxy substance sometimes covering plants) leaves and stems, not evident in young plants. The bark peels to reveal a white trunk. E. ficifolia (Red flowering gum) is a medium-sized plant with clusters of beautiful, feathery, red flowers up to a foot long. E. pauciflora subsp. niphophila (Snow gum) is a small, fairly slow-growing tree that is covered in large, leathery, grayish-green leaves. The multi-colored trunk has been compared to the skin of a python with its green, gray, and cream bark."-- unknown author

title: A woman posing next to several yuccas (Yucca whipplei - Spanish Bayonet), [s.d.].

description: Photograph of a woman posing next to several yuccas (Yucca whipplei - Spanish Bayonet), [s.d.]. To the left, the tall shaft and bloom of the Yucca whipplei is shown, nearly three times as tall as the woman to its right. Hills and mountains are visible in the background and in the distance.; "The genus Yucca is one of the most remarkable groups of flowering plants native to the New World. It includes about 40 species, most of which occur in the southwestern United States and Mexico. Although they are often associated with arid desert regions, some species are native to the southeastern United States and the Caribbean islands. What truly sets this genus apart from other flowering plants is their unique method of pollination: A specific moth that is genetically programmed for stuffing a little ball of pollen into the cup-shaped stigma of each flower. Like fig wasps and acacia ants, the relationship is mutually beneficial to both partners, and is vital for the survival of both plant and insect. In fact, yuccas cultivated in the Old World, where yucca moths are absent, will not produce seeds unless they are hand pollinated." -- unknown author.

In the rear is a platform where several men sit or stand and help operate the vehicle. Several men stand near the large wheels (at right).; "A combine: a complex farm machine that both cuts and threshes grain. An early primitive combine was a horse-drawn "combination harvester-thresher" introduced in Michigan in 1836 and later used in California. Combines were not generally adopted until the 1930s, when tractor-drawn models became available. Self-propelled machines, capable of cutting swaths 8 to 18 feet (2.5 to 5.5 m) wide, appeared a decade later. Originally designed to harvest wheat, they came to be used to harvest many other crops." -- Encyclopedia Britannica.

In 1887 private funds enabled the land to be converted into a park (and renamed for World War II General Douglas MacArthur Jr. in 1942). Gaylord Wilshire told the city that in order for him to permit a street to bisect the property, the boulevard must be 120 feet wide and must bear his name. His street ran between Westlake Park and Lafayette Park." -- unknown author.

description: Photograph of a view of the Edendale cut on Pacific Electric to Glendale, ca.1905. The track runs from the left, curves into a straight path and then disappears behind the hills (at right). Trees cover the hilly landscape. Mountains are visible in the distance.; "EDENDALE LINE The Edendale Line performed local service along the route of the Glendale-Burbank Line. Apparently the Edendale Line was virtually as old as its parent line, for Old PE public timetables of 1906 show this line operating. ROUTE: The Edendale Line operated from its Los Angeles terminus, Cares & Central Aves., via Ceres, 6th St., Figueroa St., 2nd St. (Beverly Boulevard.), Glendale Boulevard. And private way to its other terminus at Semi-Tropical Park in the Edendale District. The length of this line was 4.92 miles, most of which was on heavily congested city streets. ABANDONMENT: On July 12, 1936, concurrent with the partial bus substitution on the Glendale-Burbank Line, the Edendale line was extended 1.2 miles from Whitmore Ave., Semi-Tropical Park, to Monte Sano to provided service over that part of the Glendale Burbank Line inaccessible to busses. At Whitmore Ave., a layover track had been provided between the two main line tracks, which were spread quite a distance apart at that point; at Monte Sano, Edendale cars laid over on the substation spur." -- unknown author (part 1 of 2).; "On May 5, 1939, the Central Station at the 5th-Central-Ceres intersection was abandoned, as the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific shifted passenger operations to the new Union Passenger Terminal. This rendered Edendale cars superfluous east of Main St. On September 8, 1940, Edendale cars were rerouted into the Subway Terminal, leaving 2nd, Figueroa and 6th St. west of Main free of PE cars save for occasional box motors. Coincident with the restoration of full-time rail service on the Glendale-Burbank Line on November 24, 1940, the Edendale Line as such ceased to exist. In its place was a new local service operating in rush hours only to Richardson, adjacent to the Southern Pacific interchange at the boundary line between Los Angeles, and Glendale. At off-peak hours, local service was provided by Glendale-Burbank cars. Storage tracks for the Atwater-Richardson locals were provided on PE-SP interchange trackage alongside the SP's main line at its Glendale station. World War II brought a considerable upsurge in the number of local trains, but thereafter this service dwindled until the last such car, operated by Metropolitan Coach Lines, rolled out of the Subway Terminal on June 17, 1955." -- unknown author (part 2 of 2).

description: Photograph of a view of Eagle Rock (La Piedra Gorda "Fat Rock"), ca.1908. The large dome-shaped rock has a dark spot on the side that resembles an eagle with its wings stretched out. People are sitting or standing at the top of the rock. Trees and bushes cover the area in the foreground.; "Eagle Rock, a massive sandstone 150 feet tall and 553 feet in circumference at the base, sits along side the Ventura Freeway. Its primary feature is what appears to be an eagle - its wings stretched out and with beak pointing out. The time of day and amount of sunlight seem to have a major effect on what one is able to see. The Indians are believed to have used the rock as a fortress, spying on the settlers below. The Spanish settler called the rock "Piedra Gorda" ("fat rock"), but by the 1880s the present name was in use. In 1874 the bandit Tiburcio Vasquez hid out in one of the two caves in the rock. Eagle Rock was incorporated in 1911 but was annexed by the city of Los Angeles in 1923 because of inadequate water supplies." -- unknown author.
