Series 1-4 were intended to portray Fairbanks waterfront as well as the entire town. This is the upper end, water flowing from left to right. Town extends a trifle above this; the river makes a sharp bend and flows right behind the three story building at the left and then along the edge of timber. The ladder build on a couple of trees was for the purpose of photographing the town before the Hospital was erected from top of which these photos are taken; the largest hotel before the fire stood on the vacant lot adjoining “Vachons”.
The Carl (Carlson) Behring photograph collection is an album made by a miner who came to Alaska around the turn of the century. Most of the photos are in the Fairbanks area and many are along the Chena River and Circle. Possibly some photos are along the Yukon River.
No’s 1 and 2 overlap as you can readily see. I possessed no tripod last summer and changed position considerably in taking the different numbers. There were nine refreshment places in this block where you can buy anything from buttermilk to absinthe. You can see the grandstand where I made No. 1. It was full of people listening to Major Clums 4th of July address. I made a sunstruck exposure of the next and before I could repeat the crowd had dispersed.

No. 3. There is a gap of almost a quarter of an inch between 2 and 3. The double smokestacks are those of the N.C. power plant, heat and lighting; the bridge is the same as appears in the different photos it washes away every spring in the flood. The smokestack in the foreground is that of a sawmill, of which Fairbanks can boast four.

No. 4. There is a slight gap between this and No. 3. Besides place of exposure was changed with the result of throwing and of connection the near-by roofs. Residences, unpretentious mansions in logs extends for a considerable distance below this, ending abruptly with a towering structure, the home of the “Lager.” Likewise is the three story building in No. 1 a welling fountain of amber liquid known as “Bohemian.” So there you are, the beginning as well as the end of Fairbanks is a brewery. What would you have?

“Gillies” winning the pole vault – 4th of July 1907. The “sweetest girl that ever was” is sitting well to the front, but of course I can’t mark her with a cross. That would spoil the picture., 1907-07-04
