Citizens placed Measure 60 on the ballot through the initiative process and then overwhelmingly approved it at the 1998 General Election. Over these past 20 years, we have realized the benefits of increased access and ease of access to the ballot, higher voter turnout, and improved election security because of our first in the nation vote-by-mail system. Today, those benefits continue as over 2.7 million Oregonians will receive a ballot in the mail beginning on October 17. I would like to congratulate the voters of Grant County who had the highest voter turnout at the Primary Election this past May.

  • AN ABSTRACT of the THESIS of CONSTANCE J. BURKE for the Degree of MASTER of SCIENCE in GEOGRAPHY
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF CONSTANCE J. BURKE for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in GEOGRAPHY (PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY) presented on December 5, 1979 Title: HISTORIC FIRES IN THE CENTRAL WESTERN CASCADES, OREGON Abstract approved: Robert E. Frenkel The history of fire between 1850 and 1977 in a portion of the Willamette National Forest in-the central Western Cascades of Oregon was documented using historical sources. Three types of records were available: (1) records and writings not primarily concerned with fire but yielding information about fire in context with human activities, (2) descriptive accounts of fires prior to 1910, and (3) statistical reports generated by the U.S. Forest Service from 1910 to the present. Corresponding to each type of record, this study was divided into three time periods: pre-1850, 1850-1909, and 1910-1977. Information about the pre-1850 period was drawn from reconstruc- tions of aboriginal forest use by anthropologists, archaeologists, and enthnographers. Although four groups of aboriginal people inhabited areas within or adjacent to the study area, evidence is lacking for intentional Indian burning in the central Western Cascades. Uninten- tional burning from untended or abandoned campfires is probable. Coupled with naturally occurring lightning-caused fires, these fires were ample ignition to maintain an age class of125 years or older in the forests of the central Western Cascades. Information about fires occurring between 1850 and 1909 came from a variety of historic sources. All chronicled fires were attributed to man. Many man-caused fires were related to specific human activities, including road building, sheep grazing, and camping.

Being reluctant to destroy them we are moved for our own personalsatisfaction, to preserve theni in printed form.They contain much that is commonplace, and much that is purely personal and local in character.There is a great surplus of rhetoric. There is possibly an excess of eulogy. There is considerable repetition.There are probably inaccuracies. Thereisnothing, however, included in the compilation that does not have some bearing on Oregon Pioneer History, and this, at least, gives it sonic value.As but a limited nuniber of copies are to be printed, and these arc solely for gratuitous distribution among a few friends, and others, having some interest in the subjects treated, we send the volume adrift, just as it is, without apology and without elimination.
