Description From Owner:

Chehalis River - Chehalis is also found as a place name in the Cassiar and in southern Washington state.
There is a great range of meanings offered, the two most probable being 'the place one reaches after ascending the rapids,' and 'where the 'chest' of a canoe grounds on a sandbar' the 'chest' of a dugout being its widest part, directly behind the bow.
Linguistic evidence favours the second interpretation, but two old Indian women have quite independently proffered the first.
Winslow Creek - After Rainsford H. Winslow, BCLS, killed in action in September 1918.
