Join us at the Clayton Drive-In, Clayton, Washington.Clayton/Deer Park Historical Society NewsletterIssue #75 — July — 2014THECLAYTON/DEER PARKHISTORICAL SOCIETYMortarboard C/DPHS100 Year OldArcadia Orchards ArtifactUncovered During Recent Workin Downtown Deer ParkbyWally Lee ParkerIt was early in the summer of 1908.Men with shovels, assisted by teams of horses,were busy digging an (1)eight foot deep trenchdown the center of four of Deer Park’s streets.Doubtless this zigzagging trench was wideenough to allow men working below streetlevel to weave together the large diameterwooden pipe that would carry water from the(2)Arcadia Corporation’s surface flume unobtrusively beneath the newly incorporatedtown’s business district.The surface portion of the flume entered the town from the north, ran along Railroad Avenue to First Street — where itstopped (see map on page 910). From therethe water was directed underground alongRailroad Street to Crawford, where the wooden reverse-siphon jogged east to Main Avenue, south on Main to “A” Street, then eastagain on “A” to the middle of the block (seemap on page 911). It rose to the surface a fewdozen feet beyond the curb to the south of “A”Street. From there, the water continued flowing south in an open surface flume.The life expectancy of these woodenpipes — assembled from wooden staves boundby metal rods (see page 912) — was seven tofifteen years. But it was only four years later— in the summer of 1912 — that the ArcadiaCorporation’s successor, the Arcadia Orchards(1)Spokane Chronicle, Sept. 24, 1908 — page 13, column 4. “The ditch passes through the middle oftown about eight feet below the surface of the street.”(2)Founded as the Arcadia Irrigation Association in 1906, the company was reorganize as the ArcadiaCorporation in 1907, and again as the Arcadia Orchards Corporation in 1909. See Pete Coffin’sarticle about Arcadia founder Floyd Lorenzo Daggett — this issue, page 914 — for complete details.page 909

This siphon will take the place of theold wooden one now going under Deer Parkfrom the city hall to the corner of A Street andthe Spokane Falls & Northern Railway rightof way. This siphon conveys the water for the(3)low-line unit.“The work of tearing out the old pipe(3)The Arcadia project was divided into two parts. The first part, developed by the ArcadiaCorporation, dammed, raised the level of, and then diverted water from Dragoon and Spring Creeks foruse south of Deer Park. This project became known as the low-line unit. The high-line unit,constructed by the Arcadia Orchards Company, used water collected from Deer and Loon Lakes toirrigate the higher lying lands generally north and east of Deer Park.page 910“Sanborn Insurance Map — 1915.” From the John and Katie Erickson Collection.Courtesy of Paul Erickson.Main Ave.

The main object ofbuilding this pipeline of cement is to make itpermanent for all time to come, and is in linewith the rest of the work the Arcadia OrchardsCompany is doing. The best in everything isthe cheapest in the long run.”“When the new siphon is built, it willhave a capacity of 10,000,000 gallons per day,more than ample for twice the acreage whichit will supply. Over 3,000 acres will thus havean abundance of water, without any danger ofthe pipeline breaking down at a critical time,as a wooden one might. Thus is one morepoint gained for the coming orchard owner.“The cement pipe is 36 inches in diameter and wholly constructed of Portlandcement .“The entire work of tearing up andlaying the new pipe will commence aboutMarch 1st and will take about three weeks.”Which draws us around to the currentyear.

Clayton/Deer Park Historical Society NewsletterIssue #75 — July — 2014——— Text continued from page 911 ——member Mike Reiter noted that Deer Park wasonce again trenching the route of the old Arcadia siphon. Mike wrote, “The (city) engineersrecently concluded that the old siphon —which has for some time been used as a stormdrain — was in risk of failure and needed tobe replaced with 30 inch PVC.“I think the old concrete pipe was alot stouter than the engineers expected,” Mikeobserved, “since the backhoe had a difficulttime smashing it.”——— end ———Floyd Lorenzo DaggettInsurance Salesman, Spokane Mayor,Arcadia Orchards EntrepreneurByPete CoffinVery few Deer Park area people willrecognize the name of Floyd Lorenzo Daggetteven though he was responsible for one of thebiggest business projects the area experienced,the Arcadia Orchard. Mr. Daggett was bornon December 15, 1862 in Wisconsin. By 1880he was selling fire insurance in Wisconsin andhad begun a career in the insurance industry.In June of 1886 he married Christeena McIntyre and by August 1889 had begun a familywith the birth of his first son Gordon. In late1889 he and his family moved to Spokanewhere two more sons were born, Augustus inAugust of 1891 and George Bradley in January of 1897. He and his father, P. A. Daggettestablished themselves as insurance agents andmen of substance in the community(1). FloydL. Daggett became active in Spokane city politics and served on the Spokane School Boardfrom 1897 to 1907. From 1901 to 1905 heserved as Spokane City Comptroller and from1905 to 1907 he served as Mayor of Spokane.He was also active in the Methodist Churchesof Spokane and active in the prohibitionistmovement(2).Mr. Daggett recognized the desire ofmany Americans to own rural property thatcould support them as well as provide an escape from life in the congested cities of theearly 20th Century. Along with his brother-inlaw, John McIntyre, he incorporated the Arcadia Irrigation Association on May 7th of 1906.They secured some financing and began toassemble land by taking options on acreage.Additional funds were used from selling landsthey purchased. It has been reported that theypaid an average of 7.35 per acre. Their business plan proposed to clear a buyer’s acreage,plant it in apple trees, and cultivate it for fouryears as well as develop an irrigation system.(1)Spokane Daily Chronicle, May 13, 1933, page 2 contains an obituary for Mr. Daggett and the sourceof some of the facts used to write this biography.Spokane Daily Chronicle, September 2, 1915, a page 3 article indicates he had helped found oneSpokane Methodist Church and was on the Board of Directors of another. He had donated money tothe prohibition movement as well.(2)page 914

Clayton/Deer Park Historical Society NewsletterIssue #75 — July — 2014After the four years the orchard acreage wouldbe turned over to the buyer as an apple bearingorchard with a water right. The buyer couldthen pay off the balance of the purchase pricewith orchard profits.The company began by selling fiveand ten acre tracts at 120 per acre with a dollar down and a dollar per month per acre. Theproject became very popular and the pricerapidly grew to over 400 per acre. Even thatprice was not too high and the demandswamped their operation. Daggett and McIntyre reorganized the business in April 1907 asArcadia, a corporation. A 91,550 loan wasobtained from the Netherlands AmericanMortgage Bank. Another loan was applied forfrom a local bank but was rejected on thegrounds of a short growing season unsuitablefor reliable fruit growing(3).In 1907 Daggett and McIntyre ownedall of the stock in the Arcadia Corporation andhired Allen Haynes, a Seattle publisher andsalesman to write promotional leaflets for thecompany.In late 1908 they floated a 240,000 bond issue in Seattle to develop the6000 acre orchard. It was reported at this timethat 76,000 had been spent on the project(4).Haynes became the company treasurer to tryto straighten out the mess left by McIntyre’sbook keeping, caused by the increasing demand for the acreage tracts. McIntyre wasthen encouraged to leave the company. Arcadia Corporation was reorganized in February1909 as the Arcadia Orchards Company withoffices in Spokane. The incorporators of thenew company were Daggett, Allen Haynes,Horace McIntyre (a McIntyre son), Olaf L.Olson (a Deer Park businessman), and EdwardN. Robinson (a Saint Louis attorney).Later in 1909 trustees Olson andRobinson edged Daggett out of the companyhe had formed. Haynes was also forced outof the company. Daggett was “too timid” andHaynes was too insistent on having his ownway and was too involved in establishing anew newspaper in Spokane to compete withthe Cowles organization. This ended Daggett’s involvement with the Arcadia OrchardsCompany.By 1910 Daggett had moved to Seattle and was working as a real estate salesman(5). However, by 1913 he was back in Spokaneand running for a Washington State IndustrialInsurance Commission position(6). In 1915 hewas a member of the Washington State Industrial Insurance Commission and a member ofthe Spokane Chamber of Commerce’s PublicInstitutions and Improvements committee. In1920 he was working in Spokane as an industrial insurance agent, and in 1930 he was listedin the census as a life insurance agent(7).It is ironic that Mr. Daggett avoidedbeing associated with the problems of lateryears that plagued the Arcadia Orchard Company he had formed. Floyd Lorenzo Daggettdied on May 12, 1933, and was buried inGreenwood Memorial Terrace.(3)——— end ———Fahey, John, 1993(?), Selling the Watered West: Arcadia Orchards: Manuscript in the NorthwestRoom of the Spokane Public Library, 57 p.

The student — top row, sixth from left — wasWalt King.Walt was born on March 27th, 1912. He graduatedfrom Clayton High School in 1930. His wife, Jean PorterKing, was in Clayton’s class of 1933.I enlarged the writing and am fairly certain ittranslates out of Pig Latin as “Walt King.” If so, does itseem like something a 6th grader would have done in the1920s?——— end ———6th & 7th GradeTop Row — Left to RightEthel Barnes, Ruth Toback, Paul Gibson,Carl Foresberg, Paul Berger, Walt King,Harry Foresberg, Lee Berg, Howard WilsonMiddle Row — Left to RightIlla Lambert, Selma Gibson, Mildred Klawunder,Mary Twidwell (?), Lydia Williamson, (?)

Pope, Lorraine Nord, Lynn F. Wells, Wally Parker, PatParker, Betty Burdette, Lonnie Jenkins, EllaJenkins, Marie Morrill, Penny Hutten, PerryRobbins, Mike Reiter, Roberta Reiter, Marilyn Reilly, Grace Hubal, Bill Sebright, KayParkin, Roxanne Camp, and Sharon Clark.Society President Bill Sebright calledthe meeting to order at 9:00 AM. He reported:1) He received a phone call from Perry Robbins (no relation to the Loon Lake Robbins).He likes to do metal detecting and found atrade token (see photos below) between theClayton School and the Grange. On one sideof it says “Jack O’Donnell” at the top, a star inthe middle and “Clayton, Washington” at thebottom. The other side has “Good for” at thetop, “5ȼ” in the middle, and “in trade” at thebottom. Pictures were passed around. Hasanyone heard of a trade token from Clayton orJack O’Donnell? We also wonder when hewas in Clayton and what kind of a business heowned. 2) Don Ball asked for a picture andinformation on the “Ace of Spades” that wasfired at the Clayton Terra Cotta plant. It wason the Air National Guard building. Don ishaving an Air National Guard reunion. Billcalled Stan Roth with the Honor Point Military and Aerospace Museum, but he didn’tknow anything about it. 3) Sandy Orvikcalled requesting early pictures of the DeerPark Mill and the Arcadia Orchards for afriend, Forrest Baker. Mr. Baker is 85 yearsold and grew up in Deer Park. Pictures wereemailed to her. Sandy and her late husbandLowell owned Orvik Chevrolet in Deer Parkbefore being sold to Parkway. 4) Gloria Hartley gave us Deer Park High School annuals for1970, ‘79, ‘80, and ‘81 — plus a 1978 MiddleSchool and 1982 Junior High School annual aswell.Society Treasurer, Mark Wagnerreported by email: Main checking ended themonth at 3,554.59. Activity for the monthwas 74.00 in deposits. Checks written for themonth were 100.00 to Wally Parker for Mortarboard supplies, 50.00 to Deer Park Chamber of Commerce for 2014 dues, and 503.92to Wally Parker for a new printer and supplies.Photos by Bill Sebright.page 918

Clayton/Deer Park Historical Society NewsletterIssue #75 — July — 2014The web hosting account ended the month at 1,121.16 with a 10.95 withdrawal for webhosting. The Brickyard Day account has 113.50. The Memorial fund has 1265.Society Secretary Grace Hubal hadno report.Society Vice President Pete Coffinreported: 1) The third draft of the Floyd Daggett biography will be given to Wally for useas a Mortarboard article. This was circulatedearlier this month to a list of members in response to Wally’s questions concerning thechronology of the development of the ArcadiaOrchards. 2) Publication of the Peter Kellybiography has been on hold pending the arrival of a collection of promised photos. Attempts to shake those promised photos loosehave been nonproductive. 3) A visit to theMuseum of Arts and Culture’s archives lastweek was fruitful. However, if one is makingplans to visit, you should be aware that theresearch library is not staffed. I had to bullymy way in. They are supposedly open Tuesdays through Thursdays, but I don’t thinkthey're actually open on Tuesdays after myexperience. The EW 102 reference of JohnFahey is composed of 8 (eight!) storage boxescontaining almost all of the Arcadia OrchardsCompany’s operating records. There aredeeds, letters, and unused stock certificates inthe three boxes. For Wally there are waterrights deeds taken by Arcadia Orchards Company in the Kalispel (Calispel) Creek area(parts of Section 18-T32N-R43EWM, Section36 and Section 1 T32N-R43EWM) for thegrand irrigation system that was never built.Wally found a newspaper article that describedthe venture of which I was unaware. 4) Whileat the MAC archives, I found an index of“Oral Histories.” A short review of it showedseveral of possible interest. Some examplesare: Clay Pit in Spokane Valley by the Germonts; Clayton by Battista Prestini; Deer ParkLumber by Sam Leuthold; and Wild RosePrairie by Robert Reiper). I’m hoping it’ll begood historical research mining.Print editor, Wally Parker reported:1) The June 2014 Mortarboard #74 was dis-tributed. The articles included: Deer Park'sFirst Saw Mill Moves; a public domain reprintfrom Motorcycle Illustrated, May 16, 1912,describing a tour looping into the mountainsnorth of Deer Park; Letters, Email, Bouquets& Brickbats, which includes data on LoonLake's ice business, the Spokane Armory blueprints, and early flights into Deer Park’s airport. 2) At the last meeting several storieswere shared, and with the sharing I was reminded how difficult it is to capture thesesmall, often humorous, often insightful recollections in print. We can ask the spinners ofthese mini-stories to write them down, butmost aren’t writers — meaning it’s rare to finda great storyteller who’s able to transfer theunique flavoring of their verbal yarns intoscript. Because of that, they find it unrewarding to try to write. Many of us who do writefind it difficult to reproduce a “heard” storyseveral hours later with any fidelity to theoriginal. Because of all this, I’m suggestingthe use of tape recorders and telephones tocapture these mini-stories and the creation of aspecial place in the Mortarboard to print theresults. It’s just a suggestion. We’ll play withthe idea for a while to see if anything comes of
