Biographical NoteReturn to Top

Edwin Gardner Ames, lumber company executive, banker, and political activist, was manager of the Pope & Talbot interests in the Puget Sound region and a leading figure in the Seattle business community of the early twentieth century. Ames was born in East Machias, Maine, on July 2, 1856. He was a cousin of Captain William Talbot, co-owner of the Pope & Talbot companies. Ames went to work for Pope & Talbot’s subsidiary, the Puget Mill Company at Port Gamble, Washington, in 1881. Soon afterwards, he was promoted to business manager. In 1888 he married Maud Walker, the niece of Edwin’s superior, Cyrus Walker, general manager of the Puget Mill Company and a Pope & Talbot stockholder. Upon Cyrus Walker’s death in 1914, Ames took his position as general manager. When Maud’s mother, Emma Walker, died in 1919, the couple inherited a fortune, which was administered as the Walker-Ames Company with Edwin Ames as president.

The business acumen of Edwin Ames and Cyrus Walker was one of the major reasons why the Pope & Talbot interests maintained their position as the largest lumber operators on Puget Sound throughout the late nineteenth century. In the 1890s Ames led the drive to modernize the mills at Port Gamble and Port Ludlow in order to reduce waste and meet the lucrative demand for specialized sizes of high-quality lumber. Ames directed the company to start hiring its own logging crews and cutting on its own land to avoid having to buy high-priced logs from independent logging companies in the early twentieth century. He was also in charge of the company’s efforts to sell its logged lands in the Alderwood and Broadmoor areas. Ames managed the Puget Mill Company until it was sold to the Richard McCormick interests in 1925. After the sale, Ames remained active in the company, watching after Pope & Talbot’s investments in the McCormick Company until his retirement in 1931.

Ames took a leading part in efforts to bring stability to the notoriously turbulent lumber industry. He was active in the Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers' Association and its successor, the West Coast Lumbermen’s Association. Ames served as president of the latter from 1918 to 1923. The government repeatedly investigated these groups for antitrust violations but was never able to bring charges, largely because their price-fixing efforts almost always fell apart after a year or two. Indeed, Ames had the distinction of crafting one of the few lasting cooperative ventures in the industry: he founded the Pacific Lumber Inspection Bureau in 1906. The bureau was composed of industry officials who inspected shipments of lumber to insure that they met the buyer’s specifications. Previously, lumber mills had been at the mercy of buyers who demanded partial rebates, claiming that the shipment was unsatisfactory.

Although Ames was very conservative politically, he supported reforms that benefited the timber industry. Realizing that the high number of logging accidents made it difficult to recruit workers and left the company vulnerable to lawsuits, Ames led the successful 1911 effort to pass workers’ compensation legislation. This gave Washington the nation’s first compulsory workers’ compensation program. During the First World War, Ames led the group of lumber firms that unsuccessfully resisted government efforts to impose the eight-hour day. In his own mills, Ames generally fired any worker with overt pro-union sentiments. Although Ames shunned political office himself, he was a key financial backer of conservative Republicans in state and local politics. He was an astute political observer, and his letters to family, friends, and associates often included commentary on Seattle and Washington politics.

In addition, Ames served on the board of directors of three large Seattle banks. He was also a major benefactor of the University of Washington. When his wife died in 1931, Ames moved to the Rainier Club and donated his Seattle house to the University to become the official residence of its president. Ames died in Seattle on November 20, 1935. His will created the Walker-Ames Foundation, a fund which finances numerous programs at the university.

Six of Ames’s scrapbooks are kept in the Special Collections Division of the University of Washington Libraries. The first two primarily contain newspaper clippings regarding the financial condition of Seattle’s banks. The other four hold newspaper clippings -- interspersed with a few brochures, handbills, and telegrams -- that deal with local, state, and national politics and with lumber industry conditions. The fourth scrapbook contains some material on Ames’s involvement in Republican Party politics in Kitsap and King counties.

Ames’s personal library, consisting largely of Americana, is also housed in Special Collections as the Walker-Ames Collection.

Scope and Content: The papers date from 1884 to 1931 and contain incoming letters; outgoing letters in letterpress copybooks; a few notebooks; financial and insurance records; and related materials. The papers are composed primarily of Ames’s correspondence from 1905 to 1931. His accounts of life in Seattle during that time period are often vivid and extraordinarily detailed. The inventory below provides an extensive index of the letters written before 1923. Most communication was with family members, other lumber companies, and Seattle banks. Ames’s financial records date from 1909 to 1929 and his notebooks from 1885 to 1907.

Records of the Pope & Talbot Company, the Puget Mill Company, and several other Pope & Talbot subsidiaries are included. The Pope & Talbot records contain communication between company headquarters in San Francisco and its managers on Puget Sound (generally Cyrus Walker and Ames) from 1892 to 1928. The Puget Mill records, dating from 1891 to 1925, include Walker’s and Ames’s directives to their subordinates; communication with other Pope & Talbot subsidiaries; general correspondence with suppliers, shippers, and other lumber firms; and financial records. Included are papers of Ames’s father-in-law, William Walker; William’s brother, Cyrus Walker; Cyrus’s wife, Emily Talbot Walker; and Cyrus and Emily’s son, Talbot Cyrus Walker.

Walker-Ames Company Records
Biographical/Historical Note: The Walker-Ames Company was a holding company; it was called the William Walker Company until the death of William Walker in 1919. The name was changed by filing amendatory and supplemental articles of incorporation (see October 9, 1919, and March 16, 1920, for an outline of purposes, etc.). Ames was secretary of the William Walker Company and president of the Walker-Ames Company. Attorneys for the firm were Hughes, McMicken, Dovell & Ramsey; and Chadwick, McMicken, Ramsey & Rupp. The certified public accountants were Smith, Robertson & Moorhouse; and Smith, Robertson & Company. The real estate agent was Henry Broderick, Inc.

William Walker Papers
Biographical/Historical Note: William and Emma Walker lived with Edwin G. and Maud Ames in the home at 808 - 36th Avenue North, Seattle, which the Walkers gave to their daughter. Upon Maud Ames's death in 1931, Edwin G. Ames moved to the Rainier Club and donated his home to the University of Washington to become the official residence of the institution's president.
Scope and Content: The personal papers of William Walker (d. 1918) concentrate mainly on real estate and legal matters in relation to his holdings. Some family correspondence is included. The Swinomish Ranch correspondence (1910-1921) is primarily between Edwin G. Ames and the ranch's manager, W. Downey; however, William Walker was the controlling owner of the company. The major crops of the ranch were hay and oats. There is little direct correspondence in these papers relating to William Walker's role of engineer-in-chief of the Puget Mill Company. For this, one is referred to the interoffice correspondence of the Puget Lumber Company and the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Pope & Talbot correspondence. Edwin G. Ames's personal papers contain considerable material on William Walker's later life, particularly 1918.

Cyrus Walker Papers
Scope and Content: The major part of his personal correspondence (1887-1907) deals with city real estate and rentals (Seattle), finances, taxing matters, land titles, court cases, agriculture (North Yakima), banking, and the lumber industry (employment and manufacturing). A few of Fred Drew's papers on personal and company business are also included. He was a lumber and log agent. (See also: Puget Lumber Company; Pope & Talbot.) Emily Talbot Walker's papers continue the documentation of Cyrus Walker's real estate interests as outlined above. The major correspondents are Edwin G. Ames and her brother, William H. Talbot. Emily Talbot Walker's death in 1922 left a substantial estate to liquidate, and correspondence from that date on is primarily concerned with such matters. Materials of Talbot Cyrus Walker (1886-1956, son of Cyrus and Emily Walker) include little correspondence of his own; Pope & Talbot and Edwin G. Ames are the most significant correspondents in this series. Again, the papers emphasize real estate, both in Yakima and Seattle. The series primarily contains correspondence concerning real estate holdings and other investments, including Madison Street cable cars. There are gaps of several months throughout series. Correspondents appearing throughout:
  • Drew, M.S.
