What was Hawaii’s role in the western fur trade? Junius Rochester kicks off In Their Footsteps speaker series on Sept. 18

ASTORIA — Lewis and Clark National Historical Park announces the return of its free autumn speaker series, In Their Footsteps. The first program in this monthly series is “The Kanaka Connection: Hawaii and the Western Fur Trade” presented by Junius Rochester at 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 18. Rochester is a graduate of Whitman College and Harvard Business School. He is the author of 10 books about Northwest history and numerous articles. He gives talks about regional history aboard riverboats, cruise

ships and elsewhere. For seven years he was the Regional Historian at KUOW FM, a Pacific Northwest affiliate of National Public Radio. In 1995, he was awarded a joint Project Award by the Association of King County (Seattle) Historical Organizations and the King County Landmarks and Heritage Commission. In 2006, he received an Award of Merit from the American Association for State and Local History, and in 2014 he was chosen as Historian of the Year by the Pacific Northwest Historians Guild. The Western fur trade, a 30-year epic of exploration, upheaval of Indian nations, violence, and the near-extinguishment of fur-bearing animals on land and in the

water, is one of Rochester’s favorite topics. He enjoys learning and sharing about the role of Hawaiians in this history. His illustrated presentation will include stories and narration. Future In Their Footstep speaker series programs this fall will include: • Oct. 16 – “Astoria During the Golden Age of Postcards” with author Andrea Larson Perez. • Nov. 20 – “‘No account of Capt. Lewis..., I fear Some accident’: Lewis and Clark’s Search for a Winter Campsite” with author and historian Rex Ziak. • Dec. 18 – “The Corps and the War of 1812” by Lorna Hainesworth.

DIGGING UP

THE PAST

Archaeologist at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park works to preserve local history Story and photos by DWIGHT CASWELL

Wearing her National Park Service uniform, Rachel Stokeld unloads the government pickup and lugs equipment down a gravel road: pruning shears, shovel, trowel, bucket, sifting screen, clip board and a GPS navigator to show her precisely where she is, which is four feet into Lewis and Clark National Historical Park and not on private farmland. The park service calls the location the East Netul site; it is near the Lewis and Clark River and upstream from Netul Landing. Then comes the glamorous part of the job. She takes the shovel and measuring tape out, checks the GPS and the paperwork, a plan that has been submitted to and approved by the Oregon State Historical Preservation Office. Then she begins digging a hole. Not just any hole, she explains as she measures its diameter, “A 40-centimeter shovel probe to a minimum of 50 centimeters depth.” That is, a hole about 16 inches across and 20 inches or more deep. Stokeld is digging at the base of a dike that was built in the first half of the 20th century to create pasture. Salmon habitat restoration has been going on for several years in this area, and the park is exploring opportunities for more restoration projects within its boundaries. Stokeld’s excavations are one in a series of

important preliminary steps the park must take to determine if the restoration design moves ahead. She digs to a depth of about 10 centimeters or 4 inches, places the dirt on the sifting screen, and then shakes the screen. She breaks up dirt clods with the trowel and watches carefully for any sign of a cultural resource. “A cultural resource is anything relating to human activities,” Stokeld says. “It might be a Native American village site or artifacts from European exploration or early settlement. It might be a place for spiritual or other cultural practices.” Or there might be nothing. That’s why Stokeld is out here sifting dirt. She’s the cultural resources specialist for the park. “Cultural resources protection is a fundamental part of the National Parks mission,” she says. One day she might be looking for evidence of a site found

That became an archaeologist in Portugal

a seasonal position while she worked on her master’s degree in anthropology. “I’ve just finished defending my thesis,” she says, “and now I’m transitioning to a position as a full-time cultural resources specialist.” Archaeology isn’t as

thrilling as depicted on the big screen. It involves attention to detail, persistence, knowledge of laws governing the work, and, of course, digging. Stokeld is digging up, preserving and organizing our history. And it’s a good thing she is, because we live atop so much.

It’s also the site of a recreational campground with 10 equestrian campsites, six sites for family camping, and a large day-use parking area. The camp was once the site of barracks for U.S. Civilian Conservation Corps crews who worked on roads and trails in the area after the Tillamook Burn, a series of forest fires from 1933 to 1951 that consumed 355,000 acres of old-growth forest. Reehers Camp has a toilet and potable water; there is no day-use fee. From the U.S. 101 and U.S. 26 junction south of Seaside, drive east on U.S. 26 for about 43 miles. Turn south on Timber Road and drive 3.1 miles to the town of Timber. Turn right onto Cochran Road, and drive 2.5 miles (After 0.6 miles, it will become a gravel road.).

Three for Silver will play Sept. 15 at McMenamins Sand Trap.

Three for Silver to play at McMenamins Sand Trap GEARHART — Portland trio Three For Silver will perform from 7 to 10 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 15 at the McMenamins Sand Trap Pub, located at 1157 N. Marion Ave. The show is free and open to all ages. Three For Silver represents a curious hybrid of acoustic music. The twin melodies of Willo Sertain’s smooth vocals and Greg Allison’s violin glide atop of chugging polyrhythms of Lucas Warford’s homemade

bass instruments and the idiosyncratic style in which they are played. Three For Silver evoke a timeless sense of mystery, singing songs of prophecies, drunken rambles, ancient kings and heartbreaks. Described by Baby Gramps as “the acid baby of Tom Waits and Vicgtor Wooten,” Three For Silver combines a gritty aesthetic, world-folk traditions, and virtuosic technique with a modern songwriting sense.

After spending the ’90s singing in clubs in San Francisco, Large moved to Portland and quickly garnered a cult-like following with her band, The Balls. She shot to national prominence in 2006 as a finalist on the CBS show “Rock Star: Supernova.” In 2007 she starred in Portland Center Stage’s smash-hit production of “Cabaret” with Wade McCollum, and her next endeavor, the autobiographical musical memoir “Crazy Enough,” played to packed houses in 2009. “Crazy Enough” was released by Simon and Schuster in 2012, named Oprah’s Book of the Week, and awarded the 2013 Oregon Book Award for Creative Nonfiction. Large sings vocals with beloved Portland band Pink Martini and performs with her own band, Le Bonheur. She has performed with the National Symphony at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., the Detroit Symphony, the Oregon Symphony, the New York Pops Orchestra, Rufus Wainwright and

George Clinton. Portland rock band Quarterflash will return to the Liberty Theater to perform Nov. 5.

They have garnered gold and platinum records and have toured with Elton John and Linda Ronstadt. In the ’90s they started the group The Trail Band after a commission from the State of Oregon to produce a musical based on the diaries of immigrants on the Oregon Trail. Quarterflash just released a new CD, “Goodbye Uncle Buzz.” On Jan. 13, Pablo Cruise will roll into town. Pablo Cruise, known for their hits, “Love Will Find a Way” and “Watcha Gonna Do When She Says Goodbye,” released their first album in 1975.

Their music has served as the soundtrack for coverage of the Olympics, and NASA used their music to wake the crew aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour.

A PLAY ABOUT LOVE EVERY WHICH WAY HITS THE STAGE AT THE CCC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

Story by MARILYN GILBAUGH Photos by DANNY MILLER

Imagine love. Then imagine it and its consequences in every way, shape and form you can think of. In actor-playwright John Cariani’s play “Love/Sick,” that’s just the start. Partners for the PAC and the Astoria chapter of the American Association of University Women will present Cariani’s play on the stage of the Clatsop Community College’s Performing Arts Center this September. Performances are set for 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Sept. 16, 17, 23 and 24 and at 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 18 and 25. Unleash your imagination, and get ready to see Cariani nail something that strikes a familiar chord in each one of us or someone we have known at some point in time. He calls his play, first produced in 2012, “an unromantic play for the romantic in all of us.” Nine separate but sequentially connected vignettes are performed in eight- to 10-minute bursts of tight dialogue: In each one, it’s 7:30 p.m. on a Friday night in an alternate suburban reality where imagination co-mingles with reality. “It kind of turns our reality on its ear,” Cariani said about the play in a 2013 interview at The Public Theatre in Maine. “In the play you’ll meet a bunch of what I call desperate optimists: people who ... believe in love but they are terrified that it won’t last.” Taking place sequentially in the same general location, the vignettes each focus on two people who are romantically linked to one another. Whoops — except for that one woman waiting to hear from her boyfriend when a singing

telegram guy arrives with a lessthan-hoped-for message. The Huffington Post wrote about Cariani’s ability to “poke fun at the happily-ever-after by means of a strong dose of happily-never-after.” Each vignette’s quirky title hints at its characters’ inner workings and possible neuroses. In “Uh-oh,” a bored woman tries to

put a spark back into her marriage. In “What?!” a man’s stress-related disorder compromises his love life. In “Forgot,” the thing forgotten is to have a baby. In “Destiny,” a couple reconnects after their carts collide at the supermarket. Relationships progress with each vignette; each couple the audience meets is a bit more mature

than the previous, and each relationship is at a slightly more advanced stage. “The parts (of each vignette) come together to create a satisfying whole, one that chronicles the life cycle of a typical relationship,” wrote Cariani. Showcasing couples and their involvements, their trials

and their tribulations, in total 18 characters present the many facets of love and the different powers it wields. The play is packed with dry wit, laugh-out-loud humor,

Continued from Pg. 8 pathos, and there’s not an expletive in sight — a trademark of Cariani’s. This AAUW production of “Love/Sick” is directed by well-known and respected local director Susi Brown, with assistance by Bobbi Brice. Brown is no stranger to Cariani’s work. She read his first play, “Almost, Maine,” shortly after it was published in 2004. The play flopped when it ran Off Broadway in 2006, but it went on to find enormous success on community stages around the U.S. and the world. It’s even edged out Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” as the most-produced play in U.S. high schools. Brown saw “Almost, Maine” on stage in Sebastopol, California and knew she wanted to direct it. In 2010, she went on to do just that, helming a production at the Coaster Theatre in Cannon Beach. “After that, I waited until Cariani finished working on other pieces. I watched for ‘Love/Sick’ to be released on a daily basis and ordered it when I saw the manuscript was available,” Brown said. “His humor, his understanding of the human condition, his command of dialogue, and his absurd situations interests me. I find actors truly enjoy his writing, and they like to tell his stories through his characters’ voices. We all have fun. It’s my number-one rule when working on a show.” For the production at the PAC, actor Daric Moore has composed 11 musical pieces to accompany the play, including an overture, scene changes, an intermission piece and a rousing curtain call. “Daric and our engineer, Dave Gager, call it The ‘Love/Sick’ Soundtrack. It has exceeded all expectations I had when I asked him if he would consider creating some original work for our show,” Brown said. Moore’s soundtrack will be available for purchase as a CD for $5 in the lobby on performance dates. The eight actors performing — sometimes one, sometimes multiple roles — are Priscilla Fairall, William Ham, Lori Wilson Honl, Toni Ihander, Daric Moore, Nancy Montgomery, Barry Sears and Sheila Shaffer. They appear two at a time, portraying 18 different characters. Dave Gager is the sound technician; the running crew is Isaac Gray and Cheyenne Lyon; lighting design is by Larry Bryant. The Partners for the PAC and the Astoria chapter of the American Association of University Women are active in the cause to continue to breathe life and funds into the Save the PAC effort. Proceeds from ticket sales for this production benefit Clatsop Community College student scholarships and support the continuing use of the CCC Performing Arts Center, located at 588 16th St. at Franklin Avenue in Astoria. Tickets are $15 each. Doors open one hour before the performance. Refreshments will be available during intermission.

12 // COASTWEEKEND.COM Coast Weekend’s local restaurant review

Nehalem sports bar is a beacon for hungry night owls Review and photos by MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA

MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM

t was after midnight. A friend and I had been working feverishly on a project in South County and neglected to eat. We were starving when we wrapped, but our options were practically nonexistent. We weren’t being picky, we just needed something — anything. But just about everything south of Seaside was closed — not even a gas station or grocery store was open, much less a restaurant. We made a frenzied call to Manzanita Lighthouse Pub & Grub, and they picked up. We raced there to beat last call — or, rather, a closed kitchen. We arrived to find a handful of folks gathered around a stage taking turns singing karaoke. We ordered pizza, much more than we needed, feeling ever-so-lucky that we’d hit our respective pillows with food in our stomachs. Over the next few weeks, I visited the Lighthouse again. On U.S. Highway 101 between Manzanita and Nehalem, it’s a weird, cavernous place, deep, dark and long, lit by buzzing neon beer signs and glowing TVs. The capacity seems to outstrip demand, which can feel a little lonely, but on the other hand it offers multiple pockets where you can post up with your party and have space to yourself. Past the stage area, which is ringed by long, tall tables, there’s ping pong, a couple of pool tables, pinball and a non-operating second bar. Booths run nearly the length of the place — nearly 10 of them. The main bar is dug in, a few feet below the main floor, which leaves patrons towering over the bartenders. It’s odd. So is the unfinished plywood ceiling, full of ramps and bulging edges. If you flipped it over and removed the spiderwebs of light and electrical

cables it’d make a great skateboard park. So yeah, the vibe is quirky, scruff, a little rough around the edges. The Lighthouse is part dive, part sports bar and two or three times bigger than it needs to be. But again, better big than small. The menu is as one might expect in a place full of national beer branding — bar food and fried appetizers. My server highlighted a few areas: “Our burgers are hand-pressed, and the beef is never frozen. We make the dough for our pizza and calzones here, and we do our own pulled pork.” Pondering the logistics of never-frozen beef, I went with the El Diablo burger ($10.95). I ordered it medium-rare, and it arrived absolutely so. With a steak knife stuck through the center to hold things together, it was burly. It was also extraordinarily messy. After most every bite, I had to reassemble the thing, shoeing layers back into place. Dripping with juice, the bun soaked quickly. Halfway through, my fingers were puncturing the thing, poking at the patty. But dang if I wasn’t enjoying it. The bacon was salty and plentiful, the bulging patty nice and pink in the center, topped with snappy pepper jack, melted over jalapeños. It had a peppy but not overwhelming kick. (If there was habanero, as the menu mentioned, I missed it — and you don’t often overlook habanero.) Tearing through a small forest of napkins, I was happy I got the chipotle molasses on the side — it was much too sweet. Satisfied as I was with the

burger, the accompanying salad was a wreck. Topping it with shredded cheddar cheese defeated the point — not that the underlying watery lettuce and black olives had much to offer either. I wasn’t too surprised, though. The Lighthouse is the kind of place a deep-fried pickle might count as a veggie. I also tried the Pulled Pork Sandwich ($8.95). It came on a hoagie — or was it a hot dog? — roll. Loads of glistening meat spilled over the lightly toasted edges, streaking the plate with grease. It was slurp-y, succulent, sloppy and sweet — a little too much for my taste. That sugary, syrupy-ness could’ve been offset with something fresh, like slaw, or briny, like pickles. And indeed, the two tiny slices of

pickles-as-garnish added integral balance when I stuck them in the sandwich. I almost thought about ordering more — the pickles made a big difference. And, having learned my lesson with the salad, I opted for onion rings. They were big, like cross-sections of a softball, crunchy and obvious. On this afternoon the bar was rather full. The University of Oregon Ducks were playing their season opener. The long tables were filled with groups of men, in baseball caps and flip flops, cheering along, ordering pitchers. I looked longingly at the golden, football-sized calzones, which I would return for, and which didn’t disappoint. I had the Combination Calzone, a display of pork’s versatility. Inside the golden-brown, soft, flaky dough pillow were layers of pepperoni, sweet Canadian bacon, bacon, herbed balls of Italian sausage, plus a few bell peppers, mushrooms, onions

There was but a dash of marinara, and I could’ve gone for more veggies, but still: The calzone was hot, easy and comforting — the kind of thing you want to wrap yourself up in and take a nap. It was also a great deal of food for $10.95. (And also fairly greasy.) The Lighthouse’s pizzas worked too. The medium crust was light and soft, almost underdone. Meat again ruled the day — these are old-school, parlor flavors: pepperoni, Hawaiian, chicken-bacon-ranch, combination and so on. They’re reasonably priced, and sized, but for my money the calzones outshine them in both flavor and value. Plus you can get them late.

ASTORIA — Portland funkrock band Dorado will perform at 8 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 18 at the Fort George Brewery. The show is free and open to all ages. The brewery is located at 1483 Duane St. Dorado is comprised of Sky Cooper on guitar and vocals, Johnny G. on bass and James Ford on drums. The group’s new EP, “Didn’t Get Paid,” was released in August. According to founder Cooper, the creation of the band was a slow evolution.”It’s a kind of an hip-hop flavored rhythm section with a rock frosting. We’ve still got some growing to do, but that’s the direction we’re heading,” he said. Cooper is an Australian ex-patriot who studied with music legend Yusef Lateef at Elliott Smith’s alma mater, Hampshire College. He then spent three years traveling between continents and couch surfing at friend’s places. This long stint of homelessness sated some of Cooper’s wanderlust, but starting a working band remained elusive. Just before Sept. 11, Cooper was in northern Queensland, Australia, playing bluegrass covers at an outback pub with an 80-year-old bass player and getting heckled by the crowd for his American accent. “Things weren’t

going exactly to plan. Actually the truth was I hadn’t conceived a particularly good plan anyway. I had just fallen off the map all together,” he said. So Cooper returned to San Francisco and later Portland, recording five albums under different names over the next 10 years. Eventually his live band turned into Dorado. Johnny G. joined the group adding his distinctive six-string bass funk style and signature floor synth lines. “He was perfect,” said Cooper. “It’s just amazing watching Johnny dance and play bass and the Moog Taurus synth with his foot and rap and sing harmonies at the same time. It blows me away every show.” According to Johnny G., “What I love about this band is the chemistry live. We can read off each other and anticipate dynamic changes.” Soon after, James Ford, originally from the Portland area, joined the group on drums. “James is another one of those amazing multi-taskers,” Cooper said about Ford. “He’s playing syncopated rhythms, triggering sample pads and singing harmonies. He’s like some future rhythm wizard. It really makes Dorado sound like a futuristic power trio with him in the lineup.”

Which type of wine drinker are you? By STEVE SINKLER FOR EO MEDIA GROUP

Wine drinkers come in every shape and size. They also come with every type of opinion and knowledge level as well. I have now survived five summers as owner of The Wine Shack and have come to the conclusion that wine drinkers come in a couple of categories. My guess is that you’ll find yourself in here somewhere.

“I’m not a wine aficionado.”

The most honest wine drinkers are also the newest to the world of wine. People in this group are just starting out, don’t know much and are usually willing to talk about what they like, what they’re looking for and — gasp! — try something new. I enjoy working with this type of wine drinker, and I typically steer them to an affordable, yet easy drinking bottle of wine.

“Where are your sweet wines?”

This group is also a beginner’s group: They have started drinking wine but still find red wines to be too big, too tannic or too dry for their taste buds. Dessert wines, sweet rieslings and moscatos are this wine drinker’s safe zone. In the future, I’ll get them to pick up a bottle of pinot gris or off-dry riesling, but for now, bring on the sugar.

“I drink anything but …”

The exclusionary wine drinkers are an interesting group. These wine drinkers have had a bad experience

with a bottle (or two) and have written off that grape entirely. These wine drinkers usually finish the “anything but” sentence with either “chardonnay” or “merlot.” Chardonnay typically makes this list because the customer has tried a cheap California chardonnay that tastes liken a buttery piece of lumber. I can’t say I blame them. These bulk-manufactured wines don’t help the cause of the world’s best-selling wine. Merlot, a delicious, soft red wine, makes the list for a completely different reason. In the 2004 movie “Sideways,” one of the main characters announces his total dislike and refusal to drink merlot. This single movie scene sent merlot sales into a nosedive. Fortunately for those of us in Oregon, the same movie praised pinot noir and has resulted in a surge in sales over the past 10 years. It’s not easy to combat the “Sideways” effect, so I usually steer the customer to a red blend (which may be mostly merlot). Don’t tell them.

“I only drink …”

Another type of exclusionary wine drinker, the “I only drink” group is a bit peculiar. The sentence usually ends with “red wine,” but it could also end with “cabernet sauvignon.” Very rarely does the sentence end with “white wine.” The people in this group are trapped in a small box, yet tend to wear their statement as a status symbol, as if one wine is more prestigious than another. I often wonder if this wine drinker is similar to the brilliant scientist who wears the same style of clothing every

day, so he or she can spend more time thinking about important things. Or, does this person eat the same food every day, as in “I only eat pork chops”? A bit strange. Typically, when a customer proudly exclaims they only drink red wine, I’ll ask them what they have when it’s 85 degrees outside. Of course, they say ”red wine” and give me the “what part of ‘I only drink red wine’ don’t you understand?” look. Oh well, I don’t try to change this group, but I will talk to them about trying a lighter red wine, such as gamay, grenache or pinot noir during summer.

“I never spend more than $20 for a bottle of wine.”

I love the frugal wine drinker and consider myself a member of this group. This wine drinker will go through my store in search of the best bang for the buck. They aren’t usually looking for a specific wine, just a great wine at a great price. We’re happy to oblige and have a great selection for the frugal wine drinker to choose from. I’ll show them our “two for $20” wines and the wines that are second labels from top producers, both incredible bargains.

“I’ll try whatever you’re pouring.”

These are my favorite wine drinkers! This group is ready and willing to try something new. We usually have a bottle (or three) of Puffin wine open for tasting, and many customers have never tried them before. It’s fun when a customer is willing to try them all. It gives us a chance to

Megler [mɛg•lər]

talk about Cannon Beach, The Wine Shack, Puffin wines and the specific wine they are enjoying. The customer may have come in looking for a sauvignon blanc or red blend, but after the tasting, they may be leaving with a bottle of Puffin pinot gris or cabernet sauvignon. This group is flexible and tends to follow their taste buds. I am a proud member of this group as I can’t pass up a wine tasting. I’m always on the lookout for a new favorite wine. No matter what type of wine drinker you are, remember to have fun. Wine is best when it’s served with friends, family and food. We often take wine way too seriously. Tonight, try this: Open a bottle of rosé with whoever you’re hanging out with, whatever you’re doing (except driving) and whatever you’re eating. You may find yourself in a new category: “I only drink rosé.” Cheers! Please drink responsibly. Steve Sinkler is the owner of The Wine Shack in Cannon Beach. He writes a monthly column about wine in the Cannon Beach Gazette.

noun 1. a small unincorporated community in southwest Washington located in Pacific County on the north bank of the Columbia River. Megler’s docks handled the north end of ferry traffic across the Columbia from 1921 until 1966 2. Astoria-Megler Bridge: a 4.1-mile steel-and-concrete truss bridge that spans the Columbia River between Astoria, Oregon and Point Ellice near Megler, Washington. After years of negotiation, construction of the bridge began in 1962 as a joint venture between the Oregon and Washington departments of transportation. When it opened in July of 1966, more than 240,000 cars crossed the bridge in the last five months of that inaugural year, and it now carries more than 7,000 vehicles a day. The total cost of building the bridge was roughly $24 million; this was initially repaid to the states through a toll, which was abolished in 1993 after the cost had been recompensed a full two years before it was scheduled to end. As the last link of U.S. 101 to be completed, the bridge has the honor of joining the entire West Coast of the U.S. between the Mexican and Canadian borders with uninterrupted highway. The Astoria-Megler Bridge is still the longest continuous truss bridge in the nation Origin:

The Washington community is named in honor of Joseph G. Megler, better known as J.G. Megler, a

German-born pioneer who first moved to Wahkiakum County, Washington in 1871 to pursue salmon canning. In 1873, Megler built his own cannery, which would come to be one of the largest in the region. Megler was elected as a Republican to the first Washington legislature in 1889 to represent Wahkiakum County. He won re-election once but lost his seat in 1893. Megler himself named the area and the town that grew up around his cannery Brookfield in honor of his wife’s Massachuetts birth place of the same name. Following his death in 1915, Megler Cove in Pacific County, which Megler himself always called “Hungry Harbor,” is where Megler and his wife had a fish-receiving station for their cannery, and the spot was named for him. Later, a rest stop in the area took on his name, but it was changed to Dismal Nitch in 2005 in accordance with the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial. After plenty of discussion, the bridge was eventually named, like the ferry service that came before it, after the two communities that it connects.

“Joseph G. Megler, one of the pioneer salmon packers on the Columbia River, and one of the most widely known and highly respected citizens of the Pacific Northwest, died suddenly about 4:30 o’clock this morning at his home in Brookfield, Wash., of heart failure.”

—“J.G. Megler dies,” The Morning Oregonian, Saturday, Sept. 11, 1915, P. 5

“Wilson and his team studied the Chinook Indian Middle Village, once located at the mouth of the Columbia River in an area on the Washington side of the Astoria-Megler Bridge.”
