Moose pasture #1

Wendy washing [clothes] at Camp #3 on Nahanni

Caption Source: Bill Addison because we ran out of tape & time (at 1 am) before Charlie could
describe it.
Photographer: likely Charlie Hansen or Isidore Villeneuve but with a new sharper camera.
WDA's Comments, 2014 Feb 12: Note how the logs at the sides of the photo are sawn so that
there are three flat sides. While Charlie does not describe this picture in the the interview, he
does describe how he and John Gilby, the first head of Fort Simpson's Dominion Experimental
Farm, decided to use local instead of imp01ied lumber to build the buildings. Gilby wanted log
buildings. Charlie suggested sawing the logs flat on tlu·ee sides so that they could essentially be
stacked. The interior flat edges would be aligned to make a flat interior surface to which a
panelling of choice could be readily attached. That appears to be the construction method being
used in this photo, although whether or not this is at the Dominion Experimental Farm is
unknown. The timbers being hewn look as though they will be suppo1i beams beneath the
building. The wall timbers are either side of the photo.

WDA's Comments, 2014 Feb 12: The engine in the foreground appears to be driving a cut-off
saw (not visible) to trim timber and lumber for use in the building under construction behind. It
appears that logs are sawn so that there are three flat sides. While Charlie does not describe this
picture in the the interview, he does describe how he and John Gilby, the first head ofF01t
Simpson's Dominion Experimental Farm, decided to use local instead of imported lumber to
build the buildings. Gilby wanted log buildings-they pleased his aesthetic sense. Charlie
suggested sawing the logs flat on three sides so that they could essentially be stacked. The
interior flat edges would be aligned to make a flat interior surface to which a panelling of choice
could be readily attached. That appears to be the construction method being used in this photo,
although whether or not this is at the Dominion Experimental Farm is unknown. The large
framed doorway suggests a barn or machinery shed.

Charlie's photo description: An old bridge was there and I took it out and filled it in and built
a bench instead because the N.T. would lose trade. The people used to come in the evening and
sit there on the railing and then just pop in to the store and buy and they sit up there and talk.
When we took that off, people was wandering around out there like they were lost, so I went out
there and built a bench for them to sit on. Right away they collected again.

Photographer: likely Charlie Hansen or Isidore Villeneuve judging from blurred eadges.
WDA's Comments, 2014 Feb 11: Charlie's quote is for another Photo 118, however I believe
this is the bridge railing that Charlie took out. The person on the left may beGeorge Cli (see
Photo 103). The others I don't recognize.
