Sumas in its early days

There are buildings, commercial and residential, scattered in a clearing; railroad tracks cross in the lower foreground; two dirt, or plank, tracks intersect in the middle ground with a train car sitting near the intersection - most of the buildings are along these tracks, including Buck's Saloon and Sumas Restaurant,the only buildings with a legible signs. There are a few buildings, mostly houses (possibly a blacksmith shop) beyond the clearing where the trees begin. Mountains are in the background with a very faint snow-capped Mt. Baker in the distance.
