1301	History recap of Port Blakely 1884 Another update on the Washington Territory. Riley writes against the railroads seeking land grants and right-of-ways, again voices his support for women's suffrage and prohibition, and notes the Puget sound mills are back running at capacity after a downturn. He ends with a recap of Port Blakely's history: "Six years ago, James Ryan, his family and mine were the sole occupants of this beautiful region around Eagle Harbor; no roads, no church, no school, while now we have all of these, together with twenty-six families and two steamboats each making two trips a week to and from, carrying passengers each way between this and the city of Seattle, at fifty cents per capita. Large manufacturing establishments are expected soon to be erected on this water, the necessary lands having been secured sometime ago. Weather splendid, Emigrants still pouring in, and still there is room for all those who are willing to work." The expected large manufacturing establishments became the Hall brothers shipyard. Built by Winslow and Henry Knox Hall, the Hall brothers shipyard was by the late 1880's "the world's largest sawmill under one roof." (Port Blakely Mills & Mill Town - Historical Buildings/Cultural Resource Survey, Port Blakely Mill Company, Apr 1992) "Between 1881 and 1904, the Hall Brothers launched 77 vessels of every size and rig, including barks, barkentines, three-, four-, and five-masted schooners, steamers, a tug, a government revenue cutter and several yachts. Hall Brothers was largely responsible for building most of the schooners for the Pacific Coast lumber trade" (White, Gary M, "The Port Blakely Years," Hall Brothers Shipyards, Charleston, SC: Arcadia Publishing, 2008, pp. 8–9)	Owner of original: The Osage County Chronicle, Burlingame KS, p 1 Date: 16 Oct 1884	Source: News articles: The Osage County Chronicle, Burlingame KS HOSKINSON, Riley M (EVENT)
1302	Homestead Certificate No. 1358 to Riley M. Hoskinson, Bainbridge Island, Kitsap Co., WA, 1882 This certificate apparently formalizes ownership of the homestead the Hoskinson's moved to in 1878 composing the "north half of the southwest quarter and the south half of the northwest quarter of section twenty-six in township twenty-five north of range two east of the Willamette Meridian in Washington Territory containing one hundred and sixty acres." Today this land would be north and west of the Bainbridge Island ferry terminal in Eagle Harbor, roughly centered on location of the present day Bainbridge Island Farmers Market. See plat map below. Interestingly the document is purportedly signed by Chester A. Arthur, President of the United Sates of America! Almost certainly signed on his behalf by S. W Clark, Recorder of the General Land office, instead.

1304	Hoskinson contributes to Washington State Board of Trade pamphlet 1891 After pleading with state officials for years in letters to the editors of Seattle newspapers to promote immigration to the State of Washington, in 1891 Riley is invited to author with a Mr. Bell a section on local climate for just such a publication, to be prepared by the State Board of Trade. "Secretary W. F, Rupert, of the State Board of Trade, has received a number of answers from those whom he has asked to contribute chapters to the forthcoming pamphlet of the board...the signal service observer, Mr. Hoskinson and Mr. Bell, on the climate..." Signal service observers were a group of volunteer weather observers who supplied newspapers and the US government with local weather data. Riley was part of the signal corps in Kansas, became first Seattle's observer upon moving to Seattle and then Port Blakely's observer after moving to Bainbridge Island.

1305	Hoskinson farm for sale 1876 R. M. and Martha Hoskinson put their farm up for sale in preparation for move west. The place sounds almost magical.

Hoskinson are experimenting. They have set themselves to the undertaking of demonstrating to the Puget Sound public and the world generally, the practicability of farming our fir and cedar uplands with profit. We predict the success of the experiment without doubt or hesitation." Not sure who the J. T. Hoskinson mentioned in the article is. A brother to Riley?

1312	Hoskinsons move to Washington Territory 1877. Riley's first of many letters to The Osage Chronicle from Washington Territory after leaving California. "We left California on the 18th of last May and reached Seattle, in Washington Territory, in four and one-half days. Came on board an ocean steamer. Seattle is a live town of 4.000 inhabitants; business driven with a rush, lumber and coal being the principal article of trade. These, and especially the coal, seem inexhaustible...Work is plenty and wages good; society of the best. Good schools and good churches well attended. More there is a Sabbath, at least to the majority of the citizens (In his letters to Kansas, Riley was very critical of Californian's neither resting nor attend church on Sunday)...,The soil is deep, rich sand, water of the best, towers on every hillside, climate very mild and the temperature equal. It makes me feel that to live is a pleasure. We have bought 33 and 68-100 acres of excellent land two and one-half miles distant from Seattle, for 8325.00 and expect to build us a shanty and move into it at once....One item of interest I notice is that nearly everybody seems to be in good health and fine spirits, while in California the healthy looking ones were the exception, not the rule." The land here is almost certainly the same land Riley offers for sale six months later in Jan 1878 in preparation for moving to Bainbridge Island.

Hoskinson, of Madrone, Wash., has sent to the POST-INTELLIGENCER two Newton pippin apples as specimens of a quantity he has preserved fresh for ten months in a house of his own design.

Steve's niece, Nikki Gadd, is developing an interest in this old WWII memorabilia. Her appearance at Sunday's Veterans Day Tribute and Fundraiser will likely bring cheers and fond memories to the auditorium full of old WWII veterans. Nikki, daughter of Charles and Lana Gadd (and granddaughter of Rufford and Judy Gadd, all from Martinsville) will wear the "Dress Blues" of a real "Home-town Hero" from Eminence, Jerry C. Kaylor. Kaylor served with the South Pacific U.S. Marine Fleet forces that fought those bloody campaigns on Guam and Guadalcanal. During his tour of duty (1942-45), Kaylor saw combat in some of the most vital battles of WWII. Now retired, except for some farming, Kaylor will no doubt feel a special sense of pride when a young patriot from a long line of Gadd patriots walks to her place at the microphone to pay honor to the women who served in WWII. Nikki will not only look the part, she'll bring honor to Jerry Kaylor, Bill Pearson, Bill Nutter, "Bud" Grow, Bill Hastings, and the countless other Morgan County "boys" who proudly wore those Dress Blue colors in that war more than 56 years ago."
