FROM THE ARCHIVES: "Once upon a time there was a valley and two villages. One was Centerville, the other Saunders' Bottom. They grew and one became Centralia and the other Chehalis. Barely separated by distance, they were the first Twin Cities in the Northwest. Their ties, like those of two growing youngsters, were strained at times by pride and jealousy. But they learned to work and to grow together, with transportation being one of the best links to understanding. Street cars, like the one pictured here, brought the first ease of travel between the Twin Cities." (Republished on Oct. 10, 1966, from the late 1800s to early 1900s)
