was the first
logger to om his own camp and
cookhouse. I have no record of the
date o£ his arrival.
Hay was hauled by scow from
the Skokomish Reservation for his
oxen; his beef came from the Willy
farm at Oakland Bay by ox team
to Union, then by boat to Lilliwaup
taking three days to deliver to his
camp.
The R. Wilkenson family were
the first permanent settlers, com-
ing in the early 1870's. He develop-
ed a homestead below the falls,
cleared wide fields and a big orch-
ard, and lived there for many
years. He later sold to Winfield
Taylor and moved to Skagit Coun-
ty.
FOLLOWING the completion of
the railroads to the West and the
proposed survey along the Canal
to Port Townsend, there was much
publicity in Eastern papers of the
many opportunities in this area.
This publicity was greatly stimu-
lated by the steamship lines and
land promoters.
Captain Troutman, then owner
of the ship Delts, centered his in-i
]crests at Lilliwaup. He bought
the big farm, where his widow
lived for over 25 years. He also
purchased a tract of land on the
little bay, where his daughter built
a big house.

O. Kittelsby located acPoss the --
river on the norI1 srae of the big
bay, built a cabin and planted an
orchard adjoining his homestead.
John MaLtson built a permanent
dwelling on the point, known to
old timers as Mattson's Spit. John
Sund built a log cabin on the south
bay of Liliwaup and developed a
stone quarry.
IN 1890 TtIE Lilliwaup Fails
Townsite Company purchased the
logged off land along the little bay
and platted a big city. Almost
like magic, large buildings sprang
up; hotels, saloons, a dng store,
a department store, a lumber yard,
a cabinet shop and stone quarry.
A long dock was built. A bridge
was built across the little bay.
Wide streets were put around the
point to the residential section
and school.
The Delta made daily trips
from Seattle carrying mail, pas-
sengers and freight. Property be-
cane valuable. It was quickly pur-
chased and quickly sold for large
sums. The boom lasted only one
),ear, then people disappeared as
quickly as they had arrived. Many
of the buildings were left to tum-
ble and decay, others were sold and
moved away to other parts of the
Canal.
Those who remained at Lilliwaup
down through the years were
George Ante, Furnace, Dora Trout-
man, John Sund, John Mattson and
Thomas James.
