A Fourth of July parade float near Forest Grove, Oregon circa 1910-1914. A note found with the original describes this as "Hillside Girls Float," indicating that the girls were from the Hillside neighborhood northwest of Forest Grove. A pennant on the front of the float that is faintly visible appears to say, "Hillside." One girl standing on a platform at the center of the float wears a sash that reads "Oregon." American flags and stars-and-stripes fabric decorate the float, which is built on a wagon drawn by a team of horses. Swags of greenery are draped over the wagon and the girls hold large bouquets of ferns and leaves, with crowns of flowers on their heads. For another view of the same float, see image PUA_MS154_048.

A baseball game in the vicinity of Forest Grove, Oregon circa 1910-1914. The teams appear to be changing sides, with people walking to and from the infield. A covered stand in the background seats women spectators. Men and boys sit on the sidelines watching the game. A makeshift dugout for one of the teams is along the fence. On the hill behind the baseball field, there is a small orchard (center-left), a logged field (right), a hops field (top of hill along the ridge), and several small houses (lower right). Based on other images by Clapshaw, this likely depicts the team from Hillside, Oregon. There is another photograph that depicts the same field and possibly the same game; see image PUA_MS154_019.
Black and white image of a group of people gathered in a grassy area, with trees and a hill behind them. In the center of the group stand a man in a suit and woman in a white dress. All of the men have suits with ties of some sort on, and most of the women wear shirtwaists with slightly puffed sleeves. The trees behind the group appear to be an orchard, though none of the trees were in leaf at the time the image was created.
