Guests stayed in tents at Spink's Resort on Spring Creek in the early 1900s.
R.C. Spink, who came to Klamath County in the late 1800s, focused his business interests in the Chiloquin area. At one time he proposed supplying municipal drinking water to the city of Klamath Falls through a pipeline from Spring Creek. The city opted to drill wells instead. A community park on the west side of Chiloquin is named for Spink.
The Boston Store at 280-296 Main St. in Klamath Falls was constructed around 1910. The building with its distinctive ground-floor windows housed many businesses and offices over the years. Trolley tracks in the center of Main Street can be seen in this photo. This building was undergoing renovation in June 2007 when it caught fire and was destroyed. The lot remains vacant as of this writing in 2014.

"Patent June 14, 1910" (1914?)
and Canemah Studio, a member of Flickr, says in the description of his camera's photo:
"It was manufactured with a collaboration between the Houghton Ltd. of London and Gennert company of New York in the early 1900's, probably between 1911-1915. It's a very uncommon camera and information on this particular model has been difficult to find. The attention to detail is fantastic and the workmanship of British cameras is quite remarkable and beautiful."
A brief history about Houghtons in pre-WW1 era:
Haughtons dates back to 1814 as a glass seller. Then they began to distribute the Daguerreotype requzites. After 1904 the firm produced a vast range of cameras and absorbed some small camera makers. From 1900 until around 1909, a large number of Houghtons' cameras were German imports, primarily Dr.Krugener.
There are many similarities between this camera and some Dr.Krugener models. So, it could be that my camera is a kind of copy of Krugeners.

London Post card from 1969 which depicts London transport's RM1737, LT's first all over advert bus which advertised Silexine Paints with scenes of the Capital painted all over the bus. This bus now resides in the London transport museum in Covent Garden although it is a different body and running units due to LT's overhaul system.

The Houston Hotel at the corner of Second and Main streets in Klamath Falls was the scene of the deadliest fire in Klamath County history when it burned in the early morning hours of Sept. 6, 1920. At least nine people – and possibly as many as 13 – perished in the blaze that occurred as the hotel was filled with visitors for the Labor Day weekend. A service station that has been idle for several years currently occupies this spot. Flames from the hotel spread across Main Street to the Houston Opera House, destroying it as well. Both buildings were operated by J.V. Houston, a prominent businessman in town. Although the name "Livermore" appears on a sign on the building, it was known by local residents as the Houston Hotel.
A horse-drawn float presented by the Klamath County Real Estate Dealers Association makes its way down Main Street during a parade in the early 1900s. Along with the trolley rails in the street, the names of businesses on the float helps with dating this image at around 1908. The list included Mason Abstracts, Shepherd Bros. Abstracts, Wilber White Realty Co., and C.P. Gregory Real Estate, and Tom Stephens Real Estate.
The steamer Klamath is seen docked at Klamath Falls, where it regularly delivered freight and passengers for a few years until the arrival of the railroad in 1909. This dock was located about where George Nurse Way leads from Main Street into Veterans Park today. A notation on the photo indicates the boat had a displacement of 69 tons, and a top speed of 12 mph. A close look at this photo shows a barge behind the Klamath, and at the far right edge a portion of the smaller steamboat Canby can be seen.
A popular scenic viewpoint on The Dalles-California Highway was located at Algoma, about six miles north of Klamath Falls. This spot, also known as Rattlesnake Point, was bypassed when Highway 97 was rerouted along the bottom of the hill in 1951. Bare Island is seen at far left in this photo.
These are more elaborate art work processed with Photoshop beyond merely adjusting the picture elements. There may be textures or other elements added to the picture, therefore not, basically, a processed negative. Test shots with some Kodak 2238. These are ISO 20 shot with canon eos 10QD and a Vivitar Auto Wide 21mm T4 lens in M42 mount. Working on a faster developer XR-1 to boost the speed to ISO 80. These were just some fun scans and post goofing.

This was taken at the 2012 Cable Airport Air Show. Just for fun and to be different I wanted to see if it would look good as a post card.
Another of the old postcards (well, not really, really old...postmarked 1983) I came across while "helping" my ex- sort thru piles of papers.

Motorists entering the Klamath Basin from the north in the 1920s and '30s saw a view like this one as they descended Sun Pass near Fort Klamath. The clearing at left-center is near Kimball State Park at the head of Wood River. A patch of timber in the center marks the town of Fort Klamath. Another patch of timber to the right – just west of Highway 62 – has been cut since this photo was taken. The Mountain Lakes area is seen on the horizon at right. Highway 97 came over Sun Pass until a new route was established over Spring Creek Hill in 1948.
The odd card, odd for commemorating a foreign war on a post card only five days after it began, was sent to the 21-year-old Countess Josefine Waldstein living in Waldstein Palace in Prague. Later, Waldstein Palace, which was so large it rivaled Prague Castle, would become the home to the Czech senate and a branch of the Czech National Gallery. The Countess would marry a count in 1902 and have three children. She died in 1941.
The card begins with 'Thank you for your card...'

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallenstein_Palace Currently home to the Czech senate and a branch of the Czech National Gallery, the Waldstein Palace was meant to rival the Prague Castle
The message on the Spanish-American Krieg card says according to Saskia (whom I thank!): Thank you for your card. Sending wishes from your cousin Rudolf)

A view across Lake Ewauna toward Miller Hill and the Klamath Hills south of town is featured in this post card image from around 1905. This perspective shows the natural shoreline of Lake Ewauna before the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad. The steeple of the First Presbyterian Church building is seen near the lower-center of the image. The church was located at the corner of Third and Pine streets.
