3. PO.003.0079.1 - Old engine on slightly elevated track. Two sets of railroad tracks, second track raised slightly by extra timbers under the track. Mount Si is in the distance. White store front far left beyond engine. Tall smoke stack on front of engine. No windows in cab. Coal car in back with name along side: Snoqualmie Mill Company. Snoqualmie Mill Co Locomotive used in 1890s. Mill was located across County road from Weyerhaeuser Barker Building. Same log pond used by both companies. Concrete engine hoses can still be seen from the road. Picture was taken before the engine was sent to Seattle to be dismantled for scrap metal. From Valley Record, "When this picture was taken in 1895, the engine was on its way to the junk yard. The engine came to the Valley in 1889, to serve the Snoqualmie Mill that stood across the river from Snoqualmie. The mill burned in 1895. The old engine pulled a train from the mill to the orchard. Dio Reinig recalls that Mrs. Alfred Coppers who still lived in Fall City used to ride to school on this train." Snoqualmie Mill Company which was formerly situated at the outlet of a lake now referred to as SMC Lake. Lower SMC Falls is accessed from the Spur 10 Gate on the Snoqualmie Tree Farm north of North Bend. From North Bend, head north on Ballarat Avenue which later becomes North Fork County Road. Just under 4 miles from town, the road forks; head left (uphill). About 3 3/4 miles later you'll reach Spur 10 Gate (on the right) where a major cross road intersects the North Fork Road. Park and or bike the gated road for 1 1/2 miles to a three-way junction just past the bridge over the North Fork Snoqualmie River. Head right and then stay right at a second gated road where a rude sign points toward "Black Crik". The stream is crossed in another 1/2 mile, with the falls about 200 feet upstream.

7. PO.028.0033 - Man with parachute jumping at Snoqualmie Falls. Olive Taylor Quigley and Dilla Miller in white blouses in foreground. Dilla was Minnie Huffman Burns aunt who raised her. Taken from near edge of pool at bottom of Falls. People on rocks in foreground. Large rock seen jutting out of ledge in top center of falls. According to Dio Reinig: "The Man Who Parachuted Over the Falls Charlie Anderson was the name of the man who jumped with a parachute over the canyon of Snoqualmie Falls in the year 1890. Charlie lived in Seattle with his parents, and was full of adventure. I would say he was in his late 20's at this time. On a Sunday he would go up in a balloon over Lake Washington and jump out with his parachute, for a publicity stunt. The Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern railroad that ran from Seattle to North Bend often ran excursion trains in the summertime to Snoqualmie Falls. For the entertainment of these tourists Charlie decided to jump over the falls with his chute. This would be of great interest to the railroad and they were all for it. It was advertised in advance in the Seattle papers, but Charlie had to go under an assumed name, for he knew that his parents would not stand for it if they realized that it was their son who was going to jump. The railroad company put a cable across the canyon a few hundred feet down river from the brink of the falls. The cable was attached to a tree on the railroad side high enough for the train to run under. It had to be higher on the railroad side as that was the side he was to start from. On the Saturday before the jump Charlie came to the falls to make arrangements. There was a dance hall and saloon on the edge of the falls run by Mrs. Spalt. Several boys and I went there on this Saturday and Charlie had us help him spread his chute on the dance floor. It was the first one we had ever seen. The next day two trains left Seattle for the falls, and arrived about noon. There were over 30 cars in the two trains. They had to put helper engines on at Issaquah to make the grade to Preston, which was the top of the hill. After the trains unloaded their passengers they moved the cars on to North Bend to be out of the way of the crowd. When the time came for the jump, Charlie climbed the hill with his friends and several other men. There was a trolley arrangement that he sat in, and a rope attached to it so that it could be pulled back after the jump. When he was ready to start he bade everyone goodbye. Some of his friends tried to talk him out of going, but he said he didn't want to disappoint so many people. So they gave him a shove down the cable. The trolley did not go far enough for a safe drop and they pulled him back and tried it again. Still it was not far enough. Several of his friends again begged him to give it up, but again he said goodbye and pulled the trip cord several times before it let go. When the chute opened the people were quite relieved, but then in an instant the air current sucked his chute straight toward the falls. In another instant an air chute blew it away from the falls at an awful speed. The chute passed over a large boulder some 20 or 30 feet in diameter. Charlie's body hit the rock with an awful force. My friend Billie Gordon, who was with me, saw him hit. We both said, "He is dead." We were the first to run down the long flight of stairs to reach him. Several men soon arrived and got him out. They told us boys to go back and hold the train, as he was still alive and should be taken to Seattle. I remember when they put him into the baggage car. Several doctors were looking him over, and one of his friends told a doctor to look in his mouth, as he had false teeth. The doctor looked and said, "I'll say he has, they're in pieces." Charlie died that night in the hospital without ever coming to. His father and mother then found out it was their son."
