Yesterday, I wrote about Eslie Cann while working at the Nevada Historical Society would send information and copies of photographs from time to time. The above photograph was one of them. The story does not end there. In 2002, during the preparation of my book  Lassen County Almanac: An Historical Encyclopedia I contacted the Nevada Historical Society requesting permission to publish this photograph. Their reply was unexpected. They informed me that they did not have that photograph in their collection anymore. They stated that they discarded some border counties photographs.

As to, Scott’s it was a little known Western Pacific Station in Long Valley. It was located about three miles south of Constantia. It was so named for Charles and Franceska Scott who located there in 1901, from Fish Springs, Nevada. With the railroad station, they decided to open a general store and even established the Scotts Post Office. The post office only operated from 1912 to 1916. In 1918, they sold their 3,160-acre ranch to Antonio Saralegui.
