Three men stand on a pile driver which is pounding a large log into the ground. The log was probably a support for a bridge or road constructed near Forest Grove, Oregon; possibly in Gales Creek or the Hillside neighborhood. A recently-logged hill sits in the background. The photographer, William Alonso Clapshaw, exposed half of a glass plate negative to create this image. The other half of the glass plate was used to make another photograph that probably portrays the same bridge construction event; see image PUA_MS154_012b. Flaws in the photograph are due to dust and deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative.
Construction of a bridge near Forest Grove, Oregon probably circa 1910-1914. This may have been in the vicinity of Gales Creek or Hillside. The old deteriorated bridge on the right is being replaced by the newer bridge on the left. A pile driver with a ladder can be seen in the background. A man with a team of horses stands on the new bridge, while another team pulls on load on the old one. A dirt road and a forest stand behind the bridges. The photographer, William Alonso Clapshaw, exposed half of a glass plate negative to create this image. The other half of the glass plate was used to make another photograph that probably portrays the same pile driver seen here; see image PUA_MS154_012a. Flaws in the photograph are due to dust and deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative. For another view of the same bridges, see image PUA_MS154_024.
A road and bridge construction crew near Forest Grove, Oregon probably circa 1910-1914. This may have been in the vicinity of Gales Creek or Hillside. The men in the foreground are leading two teams of four horses, who are pulling a plow-like device, probably to dig out the road surface. More men are working on the bridges in the background. The old deteriorated bridge on the right is being replaced by the newer bridge on the left. A pile driver can be seen in the distance, along with a house, barns, fields and forest. Flaws in the photograph are due to dust and deterioration of the emulsion layer on the negative. For another view of the same bridge construction, see image PUA_MS154_012b.
Road construction by men with horses near Forest Grove, Oregon probably circa 1910-1914. This may have been in the vicinity of Gales Creek or Hillside. Several men are driving teams of horses that are pulling road-grading equipment, which are digging out and leveling the ground on a hill to make a road. Several boys watch from the side, and a thick forest of fir trees appears in the background. The damage to this photograph is due to the emulsion layer on the negative deteriorating and cracking off. For several other images by the same photographer that appear to depict the same road construction event, see PUA_MS154_024 and PUA_MS154_012b.

Two photographs showing students or staff of Pacific University working on draining the Athletics Field on campus. The original photographs appear on either side of a page in an album. The front side photograph shows a group of individuals, possibly students or employees, digging a trench on, or adjacent to, the route where a new running track would be installed. The back side photograph shows the same group of people working on a different section of the field.
This photograph was likely taken around 1907, about the same time when the grandstand and Second Herrick Hall (a women's dormitory which appears in the background) were built. This field, later named McCready Field, was in use at Pacific University from the late 1890s through 1991 for football and track events, and continued to be used for soccer through the 2000s. It was partially converted to usage as tennis courts in 2009. Cascade Hall, built approximately where the grandstand formerly stood, opened in 2014.
