| Title | Columbia River Flood Stage |
| Description | Here is shown the river at flood stage during the spring of 1936. The east cofferdam area has been deliberately flooded to save the temporary wooden cofferdam. Work on the east end of the MWAK high trestle has been suspended, but erection of the east mixing plant is being carried on to completion. This view gives some idea of the enormous force and volume of the river to be reckoned with in the cofferdam work. Behind the west cofferdam, work is proceeding writhing 150 feet of the river,... the east side cofferdam has been flooded with three pipes to conserve the temporary cofferdam and deal with the rising waters of the Columbia River. |
