The new town of Chiloquin is seen in this post card image from the late 1920s. Establishments included Brown's Jewelry Store and the Oregon Hotel, seen at left-center, both of which were destroyed by fire in July 1929. Farther down the street was an ice cream parlor, the Chiloquin Garage and the Chiloquin Mercantile. The Bolo pool hall is seen at right, along with an auto stage stop, a grocery store and a drug store. The town of Chiloquin sprung up shortly after the arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1911, and was incorporated in 1926. This photo was taken by the Stinson Photo Studio in Klamath Falls for Louie Polin, who operated a confectionery in Chiloquin and a sporting goods store in Klamath Falls.
I have enjoyed starting my September 6x4 lives challenge postcard today. I'm not sure just what will go on it next!
I have used a similar fabric picture on an ATC previously but didn't look back to that as I hope this will be different - maybe it won't be!
The Klamath Falls community celebrated dedication of a new National Guard Armory on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, 1935. The Armory was the home of Battery D of the Guard's 249th Coast Artillery. While the dedication ceremony was conducted by the military, numerous other events took place in the Armory in late 1935, including a basketball tournament, a classical musical concert, a holiday bazaar, a Lions Club carnival, a pinochle party, and a series of wrestling matches. Thousands of events were held at the Armory over the years until it closed in the 1960s. It became the home of the Klamath County Museum during the winter of 1969-70.

"Give us a place to stand, and a place to grow, and call this land...Ontario"! Canada's Centennial celebration. Montreal got EXPO and we got ONTARIO PLACE! Too bad they closed it last year!(2012).
A tourist at Crater Lake National Park is seen feeding a black bear in this undated post card. "Tame" bears were considered a popular attraction for tourists in the park's early days. Bears also were nearly permanent residents at the park's landfill, until the dump was closed in the 1970s.
This post card was mailed by my father to my mother from St. Joseph Missouri on August 17th, 1943, the day of his induction into the Navy. Briefly on the back it says "How come you didn't come down to see me off? We didn't leave until about 7:00. I think he was on his way to Idaho for basic training. He later completed his training in Norman Oklahoma.
The Winema Hotel is seen in this post card photo probably taken in the late 1940s. The hotel was originally known as the Elk Hotel when it opened in October 1930. Designed by local architect Howard Perrin, the Elk had 80 guest rooms, 20 office spaces, five storefonts on Main Street and a banquet room. Four local businessmen – Merle West, Tom Watters, Andy Collier and Cliff Dunn – purchased the hotel in 1940 and changed the name to Winema. West operated the hotel for 37 years, during which time it was one of the community's most popular social gathering venues. The building has changed hands several times since 1977. It last operated as a hotel in the 1980s. Today it serves as low-income housing.
Lumen Print 1505 Jewel Weed. Defender Disco post card paper. Print made July 4, 2014. Paper expired Oct 25, 1911. Package was sealed and never opened until my first lumen print experiments with this paper. Opened paper under darkroom safelight and the paper emulsion side was a very dark brown and silver compounds had migrated through the paper to darken the reverse side. This was my first hint that this paper is probably a POP type paper. I could not find any published information to confirm my speculation. The paper darkened quickly when exposed to sunlight and turned to a deep red similar to Kodak Studio Proof and Chicago Albumen Centennial POP, and Solio gas light paper which are all POP type papers. This Print needs more exposure, however, I was concerned that it would over expose since it darkened so quickly upon initial exposure to sunlight. Since the paper is 3.5 x 5.5 in. in size, it is a small challenge to find subjects suitable to this format. I copied the print on 7July2014 and the print was stored in a light proof box prior to being copied. I noticed that the print had already changed significantly in color. The field was now a dark orange and not the dark red after first exposed. Furthermore, the subject was now yellow and not the initial yellow green. I will have eleven more chances to make this paper work since I only have one package of this paper. I bid on nine other packages of this paper and lost all of them even at extremely high bids. This one was my last chance.
The sender of the card, a wag who signs his name as "Carl", writes: "This shows how far advanced spring is here. Notice grass and trees!" (The card is dated March 15, 1907.) The old mill in the photo (The Ann Arbor Milling Company's Argo Flouring Mill, on Argo Pond at Broadway) exploded and burned on January 4, 1904; its absence should have confused Carl, but rather than comment on it he makes a silly joke. Maybe he was trying to impress his sweetheart back home (wherever that may have been). This image is from an eBay listing.

Baby pelicans are seen in a rookery on Lower Klamath Lake in this 1912 photo by C.R. Miller of Klamath Falls. Excursions to view pelicans up close were a popular tourist attraction until the practice was halted in 1915 to protect bird populations.
Playing with some editing in Luminar too see what it can do. The Reactions so far have been positive. I'm not used to applying this much processing to a photo.
I have some old Montgomery postcards from the early sixties.
