      The town of Arline, Washington (Pierce County) was located off the road now known as the Carbon River-South Prairie Road. It is located about halfway between the current towns of South Prairie and Orting. I recently tackled the task of recording the history of the town while writing a newspaper article. Finding very little information at any libraries I dug up records that were kept by a few "old-timers" of the local area and also found a couple interesting tales as well. The following is true to the best of my knowledge and meant only to help steer those researching this town and its people in the right direction. Arline was also sometimes referred to as Arline Mills, and on some records was spelled Arlene. In the beginning Arline could only be accessed by wagon trails. The first settlers that homesteaded in or around this area that would later be called Arline were:

      John Dean (80 acres on October 12, 1880)
      George Bosdet (40 acres April 21, 1880)
      James A. Temple (120 acres September 6, 1881)
      James McCarthy (160 acres August 29, 1888)
      Moses F. Drake (160 acres March 15, 1888)
      Charles Zimmerle (80 acres October 31, 1888)
      Hamilton H. House (160 acres September 26, 1889)
      John Breen (160 acres About 1890)
      Orville Biggs (About 1897)

      "Bygone days of the Town of Arline"
      by Cherie Kuranko

      Orville Biggs went to Alaska in 1896 and found more gold than he ever dreamed possible, he'd struck it rich in the Klondike! In 1897, the same year Orville Biggs arrived in Seattle, the ship Portland landed in Seattle with a ton of Alaskan gold carefully stowed away beneath the decks. The first news of the gold rush hit the papers and turned Seattle into the "Gateway to Alaska" practically overnight. The Klondike Gold Rush was on! After Orville arrived in Seattle he began scouting the Pacific Northwest area for a profitable investment. Finding an abundance of timber and the land cheap he decided to stay a while and take his chances in the lumber industry. Orville and his family settled about three miles south of South Prairie, an area which at that time was mainly traveled by wagons and trails. Orville wasn't the first to settle here though. Other homesteaders had come as early as 1880 to the same valley in the wilderness. Some of the early homesteaders names, those coming between 1880 and 1890, were written down by a few "old-timers" of the South Prairie area, they were recorded as: John Dean, Ira C. Drake, George Bosdet, James A. Temple, James McCarthy, John Breen, Charles Zimmerle, Hamilton H. House, and a Sawyer family that lived across the Carbon River.
