NotesCaption included with image: The last tree to be felled in the Camp Gifford area was this yellow pine which was once located in a densely forested area along the old river highway between the towns of Rice and Daisy. WPA officials and others came to witness the falling of the lone tree. Rising backwater behind Grand Coulee dam of the Columbia river is expected to cover this flat by the middle of July. The Columbia river is about 3/4 mile in the distant background.
