The second floor, of course, houses a brothel.Sep 18, 2021 Hard-Rock Mine265 viewsNot a cafe.Sep 18, 2021 Life on the Frontier258 viewsA pioneer woman preparing to enter her log cabin in the backwoods of the Pacific Northwest. It was customary in those days to wear masks to ward off diseases such as smallpox and tuberculosis.Sep 18, 2021 Assay Office Accoutrements203 viewsThis appears to represent an office where mining claims were evaluated and their worth assessed, so that the office owner could falsify their value and buy them up for a song and a dance.Sep 18, 2021 Surveyor's Wagon250 viewsFur trapping gave way to mining and other activities in the mid-1800s. This wagon appears to be a vehicle for a surveying expedition. Unfortunately, the surveyor apparently got lost and perished of hunger, thirst and exposure in the desert, or maybe was scalped by Indians, because he is nowhere to be seen.Sep 18, 2021 Mattox Family RV260 viewsIn reality, an Oregon Trail Conestoga wagon. This example had the equivalent for its time of what today would be a flat tire. (Actually this is just the museum's way of making it harder to steal.).Sep 18, 2021 Hudson's Bay Co. Fur Trapper Camp246 viewsNote the Hudson's Bay Company flag at the left. For a while there was doubt about whether the Oregon Territory would become part of Canada or the USA. This was resolved by the USA threatening to invade Canada and seize everything up to 54 degrees and forty minutes north, then making the Canadians accept a "compromise" whereby the Americans got everything they really wanted in the first place.Sep 18, 2021 Fur Fort Warehouse257 viewsI don't remember the purpose of the large machine at the right, nor do I know why they would need a cannon, other than to fend off the aggressive, greedy and belligerent American Yankees (this was the era of "Fifty-four forty or fight").Sep 18, 2021 Fort Nez Perce237 viewsScots officers, French Canadian and Iroquois fur trappers manned the fort, which was named for what was presumably the dominant local Native American tribe, upon whose lands the fort was encroaching.Sep 18, 2021 Lakeside Shelter288 viewsNorthern Paiute campground, first stop in the Spirit of the West exhibit.Sep 18, 2021 Desert Diorama224 viewsPart of the Spirit of the West exhibit, which offers a walk through time, beginning with a stroll past a Northern Paiute shelter and a fur trapper’s camp, continuing through a Hudson’s Bay Company fort, past an Oregon Trail wagon, through a hard rock mine, then a settler’s cabin and finally the boomtown of Silver City. Warning: Some of the captions for the pictures feature tongue-in-cheek, politically incorrect comments which are made in a spirit of fun and not intended to be taken seriously but which some people will find insensitive, outrageous, and offensive. Persons of tender sensitivities on ethnic, environmental, or animal rights issues may want to skip this section. In other words, if you don't have an easygoing sense of humor, bugger off.Sep 18, 2021 The Real Mattox Residence245 viewsChuck and Elouise Mattox's exquisite house in Bend, Oregon. Note the weeping cedar tree just to the right of center - one of my favorite features of the property.Sep 18, 2021 253 files on 22 page(s) 1 - 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 - 22 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => f23b3f6e0537f8a0fd0eb73206562a61 [am] => 1 ) ========================== USER DATA: ------------------ Array ( [user_id] => 0 [user_name] => Guest [groups] => Array ( [0] => 3 ) [group_quota] => 0 [can_rate_pictures] => 1 [can_send_ecards] => 0 [can_post_comments] => 0 [can_upload_pictures] => 0 [can_create_albums] => 0 [pub_upl_need_approval] => 1 [priv_upl_need_approval] => 1 [access_level] => 3 [disk_max] => 0 [disk_min] => 0 [has_admin_access] => 0 [group_name] => Guests [can_create_public_albums] => 0 [can_see_all_albums] => 0 [group_id] => 3 [allowed_albums] => Array ( ) ) ========================== Queries: ------------------ Array ( [0] => SELECT name, value FROM cm_config [include/init.inc.php:177] (0.95 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (1.15 ms) [2] => SELECT user_id, time FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE session_id = '99efc3c579ef41ba524c154c88aa1106' [bridge/coppermine.inc.php:241] (0.8 ms) [3] => SELECT MAX(group_quota) AS disk_max, MIN(group_quota) AS disk_min, MAX(can_rate_pictures) AS can_rate_pictures, MAX(can_send_ecards) AS can_send_ecards, MAX(can_post_comments) AS can_post_comments, MAX(can_upload_pictures) AS can_upload_pictures, MAX(can_create_albums) AS can_create_albums, MAX(has_admin_access) AS has_admin_access, MAX(access_level) AS access_level, MIN(pub_upl_need_approval) AS pub_upl_need_approval, MIN( priv_upl_need_approval) AS priv_upl_need_approval FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:350] (0.35 ms) [4] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.16 ms) [5] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.21 ms) [6] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.17 ms) [7] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (1.45 ms) [8] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2025-10-13 01:10:54' [include/init.inc.php:448] (0.86 ms) [9] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.216.211' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (0.94 ms) [10] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (1.12 ms) [11] => SELECT name FROM cm_categories WHERE cid = 19 [thumbnails.php:157] (4.66 ms) [12] => SELECT rgt, lft, depth FROM cm_categories WHERE cid = 19 LIMIT 1 [include/functions.inc.php:44] (3.21 ms) [13] => SELECT cid FROM cm_categories WHERE lft BETWEEN 14 AND 15 [include/functions.inc.php:49] (0.31 ms) [14] => SELECT keyword FROM cm_albums WHERE category IN (19) [include/functions.inc.php:57] (1.22 ms) [15] => SELECT p.cid, p.name FROM cm_categories AS c, cm_categories AS p WHERE c.lft BETWEEN p.lft AND p.rgt AND c.cid = 19 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2940] (0.87 ms) [16] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid INNER JOIN cm_categories AS c2 ON c2.cid = category WHERE (c2.lft BETWEEN 14 AND 15) AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' [include/functions.inc.php:1614] (0.26 ms) [17] => SELECT r.pid, r.aid, filepath, filename, url_prefix, pwidth, pheight, filesize, ctime, r.title, r.keywords, r.votes, pic_rating, hits, caption, r.owner_id, user1, user2, user3, user4 FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid INNER JOIN cm_categories AS c2 ON c2.cid = category WHERE (c2.lft BETWEEN 14 AND 15) AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' ORDER BY ctime DESC, pid DESC LIMIT 120 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1630] (9.77 ms) [18] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.4 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => lastup [cat] => 19 [page] => 11 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( [a520716e4e1a802c3b699f97dd5ac36c] => 42e4bf7b63daa116e54c6c56dc1e5db0 [cpg16x_data] => YToyOntzOjI6IklEIjtzOjMyOiJmMjNiM2Y2ZTA1MzdmOGEwZmQwZWI3MzIwNjU2MmE2MSI7czoyOiJhbSI7aToxO30= ) ==========================
