<strong>The</strong> Yacolt Burn of 1902—a devastating forest fire—proved a powerful<br />
stimulus to the timber industry along the <strong>Lewis</strong> <strong>River</strong>. <strong>The</strong> aftermath of<br />
the fire drew Weyerhaeuser Corporation and other large scale logging<br />
companies to the valley, to salvage the thousands of acres of dead wood.<br />
Photo of Edgar Robbins family or of tourist camp<br />
A prominent family along the upper river, the Robbins clan settled lands<br />
in and around the town of Cougar. Family members farmed, logged, and<br />
carried mail. Edgar Robbins opened a “tourist camp” here at Cougar<br />
Creek in the 1910s.<br />
