2014 Calendar Crater Lake Natural History Association {Crater Lake} City of Jordan Valley {Jordan Valley} Huffman-Wright {Canyonville} Oregon State Capitol {Salem} Pine Mountain Observatory (University of Oregon) {Pine Mountain} M-F Drive-in Theater {Milton-Freewater} St. Paul Rodeo {St. Paul} SOLVE {Portland} Clatsop County {Astoria} Oregon Coast Aquarium {Newport} L.L. Stub Stewart State Park {Buxton} Portland Farmers Market {Portland} In this issue of our calendar, we celebrate SAIF’s 100-year history of serving Oregon businesses and workers by highlighting some interesting moments in Oregon history. Each month represents a decade between 1900 and 2014 and features an event or a trend that was important during that decade—the Columbus Day Storm, the passage of the Oregon Bottle Bill, and the establishment of Crater Lake National Park, for example. We have selected a policyholder for each month that represents that moment in history.

SAIF’s history began with a special election held on November 4, 1913. Oregon voters approved the “Workmen’s Compensation Act,” which went in effect on July 1, 1914, which is why we celebrate our 100th anniversary in 2014.

The first attempt to pass a workers’ compensation law had been in 1911, but that bill Huffman-Wright Logging 1952 failed. Governor Oswald West then appointed a commission to draft new legislation. After passing the Legislature, the measure was referred to a vote of the people.

The law created the State Industrial Accident Commission (SIAC) and provided funds for the “compensation of injured workmen employed in hazardous occupations.” It also appropriated $50,000 as start-up funds.

A three-member commission took up residence in the Masonic Temple in downtown Salem and began preparing to implement the law. One of the most difficult tasks for the new commission was getting the necessary information about the industries that

St. Paul Rodeo 1930 would be subject to the law. Lists were obtained from the Manufacturers Association, the Labor Bureau, lumber associations, and trade unions, and a survey was made of the entire state.

On SIAC’s first day of business, William Smith, an electrician with Oregon Power Company, was injured. He lost one and a half days of work, worth $2.70, and his doctor’s bill was $5. His was not the first claim received, however. That distinction goes to Dewie McKilrath, who was injured on July 2. He worked at Spaulding Saw Mill located in what is now Riverfront Park in Salem.

We hope you will celebrate with us and enjoy these little glimpses of Oregon history.

To learn more about SAIF’s employer training programs, Crater Lake Natural History Association | Crater Lake | craterlakeoregon.org go to saif.com/employer > Training calendar. Crater Lake becomes national park The eruption of Mount Mazama around 7,700 years ago began the long geological process that would create Oregon’s Crater Lake. In 1902, in recognition of its unique geological history and beauty, Congress established Crater Lake National Park. The Crater Lake Natural History Association was established in 1942 by local residents and the National Park Service to help educate the public about the lake’s history and geology. By selling books, 1900s posters, maps, and other interpretive merchandise, it benefits Crater Lake National Park and Oregon Caves National Monument through educational programs and research.

City of Jordan Valley | Jordan Valley | cityofjordanvalley.com To learn more about SAIF’s employer training programs, go to saif.com/employer > Training calendar. City of Jordan Valley founded On the eastern edge of Oregon, surrounded by rolling hills covered with sagebrush, sits the small community of Jordan Valley. Gold brought the first settlers to the valley in the 1860s, but cattle ranchers and Basque settlers with their sheep soon followed. The town was established in 1911, and many of the original stone buildings from that period are still standing. Cattle ranching is still the main occupation, followed by growing 1910s hay and grain and mining. Although only about 180 people live in the town, thousands come each year for a rodeo, barbecue, dance, and trade show held in May. And, seasonally, antelope, deer, pheasant, quail, and sage grouse lure hundreds of hunters to the area.

Huffman-Wright | Canyonville | www.huffman-wright.com To learn more about SAIF’s employer training programs, go to saif.com/employer > Training calendar. Timber industry booms, modernizes Timber has been a driving force in the Oregon economy since the late 1800s; in 1905, Oregon ranked second in the nation for timber production. Increased construction in the 1920s drove production even higher, creating an industry boom. Large timber companies developed mills, railroads, and company towns. And the industry began to modernize—more logging was done with machines instead of horses and oxen. Almost 60 1920s years ago, in 1956, Ralph Huffman and Roger Wright founded Huffman-Wright Logging. Now, the second and third generations are working for the company.

Oregon State Capitol | Salem | www.oregonlegislature.gov To learn more about SAIF’s employer training programs, go to saif.com/employer > Training calendar. Fire destroys State Capitol—again On December 29, 1855, Oregon’s first statehouse, a wood frame building barely two years old, burned to the ground. In 1876 a new Capitol opened, this time constructed of brick and native Umpqua stone. Grand staircases and covered porticoes supported by Corinthian columns were added in the 1880s. Then, on April 25, 1935, fire once again destroyed the Capitol. The fire, which began in the basement, spread up through 1930s the center of the building, and the dome collapsed. Rebuilding began in December 1936, and, by the summer of 1938, the new Capitol was complete. Today, some of the columns from the old Capitol can be found in the park on the east side of the building.

Pine Mountain Observatory (University of Oregon) | Pine Mountain | pmo.uoregon.edu To learn more about SAIF’s employer training programs, go to saif.com/employer > Training calendar. Hundreds of UFOs sighted in Oregon E.G. “Eb” Ebbighausen, an astrophysicist at the University of Oregon, was interested in binary stars—not UFOs—when he installed an experimental telescope on Cache Mountain in the early 1960s. Weather at that location was too unpredictable, so, in 1967, Ebbighausen moved his observatory to Pine Mountain, located 34 miles southeast of Bend. At an elevation of 6,300 feet and with little light pollution, it is an ideal place for 1940s observing the night skies. With three large reflector telescopes, Pine Mountain is the state’s only professional astronomical observatory. Open to the public on Friday and Saturday nights during the summer months, it provides programs for about 4,000 visitors annually.

M-F Drive-in Theater | Milton-Freewater | m-fdriveintheatre.com To learn more about SAIF’s employer training programs, go to saif.com/employer > Training calendar. Number of drive-in theaters in U.S. peaks at 4,063 The decade of the 1950s was the heyday of American drive-in movie theaters. The drive-in was perfect for families, who didn’t need a babysitter for a night out. Movie start times depended on what time the sun set, and the audio crackled through speakers hooked over a rolled-down window. In Oregon, approximately 70 drive-ins were operating then, including the M-F Drive-in in Milton-Freewater, which opened in 1953. Today, 1950s it is one of the state’s few surviving theaters. And while audio is now broadcast on the radio and films are digital, families still enjoy the drive-in for the movies, the socializing, and the pizza.

Columbus Day storm demolishes rodeo grandstand Even Oregon’s famous Columbus Day storm, with its 130-mile-an-hour winds, couldn’t slow the growth of the St. Paul Rodeo. The storm destroyed the rodeo bleachers in October of 1962, but a new grandstand was constructed by spring. At that time, the rodeo was well into its third decade—the first St. Paul Rodeo was held on July 4, 1936. Fifty cowboys came to compete for a purse of $500. Today, an average of more than 1960s 50,000 people turn out to watch 750 cowboys and cowgirls from across the U.S. compete for almost $500,000 in prize money. The rodeo—which now includes a carnival, parade, Wild West Art Show, and BBQ Cook-off Competition—will run July 2-5 this year.

Oregon passes nation’s first bottle bill When the Oregon Legislature passed the nation’s first bottle bill in 1971, SOLVE had already been on the job for two years, cleaning up Oregon’s environment and spreading the anti-litter message. Stop Oregon Litter and Vandalism (SOLV, originally without the “E”) was created by Governor Tom McCall and other leaders to clean up Oregon’s beaches, plant native trees, remove invasive plants, and organize other 1970s environmental maintenance projects. Today, an average of 35,000 volunteers annually work on SOLVE projects in 170 communities across the state. Last spring, for example, more than 4,000 volunteers removed 52,480 pounds of debris from Oregon’s beaches.

The Goonies filmed in Clatsop County While it is true that the “Goonie House” (where the movie The Goonies was filmed) is one of Clatsop County’s more popular tourist attractions, the county offers much more—in history and in natural beauty. Named for the Clatsop tribe that lived along the Pacific Coast, the county was formed on June 22, 1844, but its history began much earlier. In 1811, Jacob Astor’s Pacific Fur Company established a trading post in what is 1980s now Astoria, making it the oldest American settlement west of the Rockies. And Lewis and Clark’s Corps of Discovery spent the winter of 1805-06 at Fort Clatsop, which is now another popular attraction, before they returned east.

Portland Farmers Market opens its Winter Market at Shemanski Park Oregonians like their food fresh and local, and they like it all year round, not just in the summer. That is one reason why, in 2012, Portland Farmers Market added its eighth market, the Winter Market at Shemanski Park. There, in January and February, you can find winter produce, meat, fish, baked goods, and cheeses—just to name a few of the foods offered by approximately 45 vendors. The first Portland Farmers Market opened in 2010s 1992 with 13 vendors at Albers Mill in northwest Portland. It later moved to its current location on Portland State University’s campus.
