L I i -1 7' -Y Wesr EAU CLAIRE ABOUT 1870 fNotice the steamboat on the riverj A Eau Claire in 1872 By something of a coincidence the bird's eye view map of Eau Claire was made the same ear that the state legislature granted the charter forming the city. This charter was granted in Eed- ruary, 1872. The city was made up of the former town of Eau Claire Kon the East SideJ,North Eau Claire Con the North Sidej, and Oak Grove Kon the West Sidel, The last two towns extended from the Chippewa River west to the Dunn County line, about eight miles, with the dividingline A LUMBER RAFT Belonging to the Daniel Shaw Lumber TRAIN LOAD OF Locis Company, about 1890. between them about on the line of the present Grand Avenue West. The parts of these towns west of the city limits were after some controversy, given the name of the Town of Union. The first railroad had reached Eau Claire about a year before the city was incorporated, the first bridge arcoss the Chippewa river had been built. and the Court House erected less than three years earlier. Steamboating and the rafting of lumber were at their height. THE New Ain Pom' APRIL 22, 1929 The Eau Claire Airways, Inc., was organized recently by a group of seven Eau Claire men to pioneer aviation on a commercial basis in the Chippewa Valley. A three-seat Travel Air bi- plane, purchased by the corporation is pictured above, and is piloted by an expert pilot. The old hangar, when remodeled will accomodate four biplanes, and the field will be equipped to service planes. There are 280 acres of land involved in the lease for the landing field. The purpose of the corporation is to operate an airport, conduct a sales agency, school for student instruction and flying, aerial photography, and advertising, conduct sight-seeing flights, and aerial taxi service to other cities.
