Aeriel view of Colfax in spring of 1889, looking north. On the upper left edge of photo is part of the Colfax College, later named the English College. At this time the south fork of the Palouse River spread out to create Cooper Lake. This lake was drained around the turn of the century when the South Palouse River was dug out. The Main Street School is in the center right of the image, north of the bridge, on the east side of the 400 South block of Main Street, Colfax, Washington.</div>
