The dwelling was in the midst of the little scatâ€" tered group of houses west of the railroad which constituted the comâ€" munity. Moses‘s combined store and saloon on the north side of Cenâ€" ‘trhl avenue was the only business property.of any importance. â€" â€" _ As a boy, Mr. Baker used to: watch the ships unloading lumbe off the long wharf near the sawmill which was located near the site of the present water ‘works. He saw the huge cinders cireling down from ' the Chicago fire. He tried to naviâ€" gate his high whceled "bike" down the muddy gullies that lead to the beach; hgéted into myriads of wild pigeons.

"It will take me a long time to forget my feelings as we waded off the ‘deck of the poor old Leo and slowly rowed around her bow leayâ€" ing behind us the darkness," he wrote. SS €â€" The crew, blaming theâ€"mreck on the officers, refused to work, and Mr. Baker helped the officers make a camp, constructing a chimney out of tin cans. Returning from the West after the Seattle fire, he went in partnerâ€" ship with former Mayor Fletcher u(ud later with John T.
