Sepia-toned image of a number of people posed around the yard of a sawmill. One man to the left of the image sits on an ox, part of an eight-ox team. Several other men stand around the yard. One man sits on a pile of lumber, holding an ax. A man and a woman stand just beneath the eaves of the building; he wears a white shirt with a vest and dark pants; she has on a long, light-colored dress with leg of mutton sleeves and wears her hair up. Two men sit in a buggy pulled by donkeys. Three other men sit on top of stacked, cut lumber in the right of the image. Stacks of thin cut lumber fill the foreground of the image, and inside the building machinery is visible. The building itself is open framed, with a wide, gabled roof with an extension down on the left. A small smokestack emits smoke from another roof on the lower image right of the building. Another gabled building in the left image background has two narrow paned windows and what appears to be an open stable attached to the back. The two buildings are separated by a yard with a path. Bare deciduous trees rise up behind the sawmill, and full pine trees are visible beyond the second building.
Six men pose in front of a machine in a forest. The machine consists of a boiler with a boiler with a smokestack extending above machinery under a framed porch, and a cable wound onto a spool. The entire mechanism sits on two large, squared off logs that are partially buried in the ground beneath it. A cable runs from a lever extending above the front of the machine out of the image to the right. Three men stand in front of the machine on the foundation logs, large chains with links as big as their feet on the wood below them. Two are dressed in work clothing, light shirts and dark pants with hats or caps. The third man wears overalls and a hat pushed back on his head. In the foreground, one man sits with his feet dangling over the edge of a large log laid across the support logs for the boiler. A man sits on a block behind him, feet dangling over the first man's shoulders. A third man sits on a block nearby. All wear overalls over light shirts, and various styles of hat. Pine trees of various sizes fill the background of the image, and the ground in the left of the image is covered with debris and tree limbs.
A man with a double team of white horses poses in front of a large, two-story plus frame building. Cut lumber is piled to the right of the image and in the foreground before the mill. Lumber can also be seen piled on the board floor of the first building. Cut stumps line along beside the building. He wears a light-colored shirt and dark pants. Tall, back-lit pine trees fill the background of the image, and the ground is generally bare with some vague debris littered to the left.
Men, women, and two children stand with a number of horses in a dirt yard in front of a long, low open-sided building. Four women stand behind a plank in a row in the center of the image. They wear full, ankle-length skirts, and long mutton sleeves. Their hats are low-crowned and flat-brimmed, and one is decorated with flowers. Two small children stand one between the last two women on the right and one at the end of the line. They wear full white long-sleeved dresses. A dog sits at feet of the second woman to the left. Behind the second woman on the left, a dog sits on the ground. Behind the row of women, there is a row of men and horses. On the left, a man stands between two horses, holding each of their reins. Next to them, there is another horse and a man on a horse next to that. The next two horses are tied to a wagon and a man sits on the horse to the right while holding the reins of a third horse to his right. Another man sits on a middle horse while holding the reigns of two rider less horses. Just to the very right of the photo, a man sits in a wagon. In the background of the image, cut lumber is stacked, and a wagon appears to be loaded with logs. In the far right, a two-wheeled carriage with a woman seated in it is just visible. The top of a picket fence runs through the very foreground of the image. A thick stand of pine trees fills in the background.
Workers of various ages sit along both sides of two cannery belts, sorting small fruits. All but one elderly man in the upper right of the image are women. They wear white shirts and hair nets; one has a dark sweater on and another a flowered shirt. All have shorter hairstyles, most straight on top and curly towards the bottom; most have hairnets, but several wear their hair held back by headscarves. Elongated covered lights are suspended from a high ceiling to hang over the conveyor belts, and the women sit on stools with cans at their sides. One woman holds a bucket over her arm. In the left background is a bare plank wall, with studs visible; the back right wall shows unidentifiable machinery. Some of the women wear glasses.
A group of about two dozen adults of various ages pose in front of a building. Eleven women stand in an angled line before a raised porch. Two more women sit on the porch, and eleven men stand on the porch behind the women. The women wear long skirts with full, tucked in blouses, and all wear their hair up; their clothes appear worn and dirty. Two have their hair pulled back in snoods with large bows tied on top of their head, two others appear to have large, shapeless hats on the back of their heads. The woman at the left end of the line has a crisp white shirt tucked into a dark skirt, a bow tie, and wears a low-crowned hat with a wide, stiff brim. She holds a second hat like the first. Next to her, a woman wears a dark shirt with white polka-dots and a necktie, tucked into a dark skirt. All but one of the men wear overalls and work shirts. Two wear hats. One man at the right side of the group wears a three-piece suit with a bow tie, a watch on a fob, and a light-colored fedora. The building in the background is wooden, with large double doors and windows visible above the porch level. Written in dark ink on the mat below the image is: 'Carnation Milk Co. workers, Hillsboro 1904 - 1st St. & Maple.'
A large square three-story building with 'CARNATION MILK PRODUCTS COMPANY' lettered across the top fills most of the picture. 'CONDENSARY NO. 5' is lettered below. Wire fences with barbed wire surround a driveway along one side of the building, with a large gate. Smoke rises from a smokestack behind the building, and power lines criss-cross the area above and beside the building. Stairs lead up to a door in the corner. Two cars are parked alongside the building, and muddy ground fills the foreground of the image.
Three wagons with two-horse hitches, their beds filled with milk cans, stand in front of a large white wooden building. Several men in hats and work clothes stand around the wagons and on the porch at the rear of the building. The building has large windows and square vents on top; at the back a large tank with chimney-like extensions. A packed dirt road runs through the foreground of the image, and bare trees are visible on the skyline in the rear.
A smiling young man in work clothes with a hat on his head stands with a delivery wagon with a canvas cover over the driver's seat. Two white horses are hitched the wagon, which is full of milk cans. In the background is a white building with two sets of windows, and a covered porch where a small wagon with more milk cans is visible. The ground is muddy and appears rutted.
Two white brick buildings face each other across a paved lot. Both buildings are three stories tall, with windows spaced regularly along all visible sides. Pipes or a conveyor belt connect the buildings across the paved area. The building on the right is shorter in length; next to it stands an elevated tank. The bottom of the tank is even with the roof of the building, and behind it a large smokestack . A large ramp leads up to a loading dock on the far building, where two delivery trucks with milk cans are parked. Men stand in the bed of one of the trucks. Power poles with perpendicular arms support power lines running in front of the buildings. The photo has been glued to a cardboard background, cut out with an oval top, and white clouds have been inked onto the background around the image. 'Carnation Milk Products, Hillsboro, Oregon' is printed in blue ink on the upper left corner.
Handmade quilt square which depicts sawmill and pond as part of the 15-panel Heritage Quilt of Cedar Mill. Description from accompanying pamphlet: BLOCK 13 THE CEDAR MILL by Judy Ackerman. The mill that gives the community its name stood at the falls and was built the year Oregon was admitted to the Union, 1859. Dam was built across the creek at the falls, forming a large mill pond. Justus Jones and his son founded and operated the mill until 1869 when they sold to Young and Everson. In summer, teams of oxen pulled the newly logged cedar down the skid roads to the mill pond. The sawing was done in the winter when the water flow was sufficient to power the wheel.

Three children stand next to a Best Manufacturing steam tractor. Two girls and one boy are next to the enormous wheel of the tractor. 'The Best Manufacturing Co' and 'No 168' can barely be seen on the front of the engine. It looks like there may be more writing that can not be deciphered due to the quality of the photograph.
Picture looks to be at the end of a lake or a small body of standing water. The area around the lake to the shoreline has been cut of standing trees. On the right hand side of the body of water is a logging camp. There are two rows of buildings that look to be the kind that are transported by rail. To the left of these buildings are a few smaller buildings. A steam engine is beside these buildings and is operational. In the background are standing trees of a heavily wooded area.
This gristmill was located on the Tualatin River in the Dilley area, just off Anderson Road south of Forest Grove. Horace Parsons with the help of A.T. Smith chose the location of the mill at a crossing of the Tualatin River later called the Jason Lee Ford. The mill started producing flour in the spring of 1850. The mill used an undershot water wheel to power the mill to make flour. The river water ran under the wheel rather than over the top. In this photograph, the mill was already in poor condition. The side facing the camera has no walls and part of the roof is collapsed onto the third story floor. Brush and trees are growing up around the three sides with tall grass in front.
