  • A Brief History of Civc Space in Portland Oregon Since World War II Including Origins of Café Soceity
    A Brief History of Civc Space in Portland Oregon Since World War II Including Origins of Café Soceity In post World War II Portland, Portlanders were in love with their automobiles, while civic leaders and engineers planned freeways and expressways and vacant land in the central city was paved over for parking lots. Robert Moses came to Portland in 1943 and laid out a blueprint for the future of Portland, one hatch marked with freeways and thoroughfares slicing and dicing the city into areas separated by high speed cement rivers. Freeways completed during this period, such as Interstate 5, tore through minority and poor neighborhoods, such as Albina, with little collective resistance. It was a good time to be a road engineer, a poor time if you were African American. Portland was proud of its largest mall, Lloyd Center; for a short period of time the largest mall in the country. It was a sign of progress. Teenagers spent their time driving between drive-in restaurants and drive-in movies, or cruising downtown streets to be seen. Adults spent their time at home in front of that marvelous new invention, the television, or often in private clubs. Nearly a quarter of all civic associations were temples, lodges or clubs. During this period, civic leaders in Portland took pride in early urban renewal projects such as the South Auditorium project that required the demolition of 382 buildings and the relocation of 1,573 residents and 232 businesses. The project effectively terminated one of Portland's Jewish and Eastern European enclaves, and dispersed a sizable gypsy population to the outer reaches of southeast Portland.

This focus led to a trickle, and then a procession, of treasure-seekers visiting the northern Oregon coast, reach- ing full crescendo by the mid to late twentieth century. The seekers’ theo- ries ranged from the fairly straightforward to the wildly carnivalesque, with many bizarre permutations. Neahkahnie Mountain and its beaches became the premier treasure-hunting sites in Oregon, based on the mountain’s prominence in popular lore, linked to unverified stories about the wreck of a Spanish ship.

Kim Nelson Oregon Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit Department of Fisheries and Wildlife Oregon State University, Nash Hall 104 Corvallis, OR 97331-3803 Draft Final Report 2005 Prepared for the: The Trustees Council of the New Carissa Oil Spill and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Suggested Citation: Nelson, S.K. 2005. Surveys for Marbled Murrelets in Potential Habitat in the Oregon Coast Range. Oregon Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, Oregon State University, Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, Corvallis, OR. 26 pp. ABSTRACT To mitigate for the injury and scale restoration for Marbled Murrelets (Brachyramphus marmoratus) from the New Carissa oil spill, information on murrelet habitat use, nest density and site characteristics was needed. We conducted intensive surveys for Marbled Murrelets in 10 sites along the Oregon Coast between 17 May and 3 August 2001. We also established vegetation plots within each site to describe the habitat features known to be important to murrelets. The specific objectives of this project were to: (1) determine the status (presence, absence or occupancy) of murrelets in each site by conducting dawn surveys; (2) characterize the quality of nesting habitat within each site by estimating the number of platform trees and the abundance moss or other substrate on each platform; and (3) estimate nest density within each site. We detected murrelets in 100% of the sites surveyed, with occupied behavior observed in seven sites and presence documented in the remaining three sites. The number of total and occupied detections was correlated with the number of platforms.

Highlighting major political figures, campaigns, ballot measures, and the history of legislative sessions, Tom Marsh traces the evolution of Oregon from incorporated territory to a state at the forefront of national environmental and social movements. From Jason Lee’s first letter urging Congress to take possession of the Oregon Country to John Kitzhaber’s precedent-setting third term as governor, from the land frauds of the early 20th century to the state’s land-use planning goals, from the Beach Bill to the Bottle Bill, this book tells Oregon’s story. Featuring interesting trivia, historical photographs, and biographical sketches of key politicians, To the Promised Land is an essential volume for readers interested in Oregon’s history. TOMMARSH taught high school history in Oregon for twenty-eight years. He represented eastern T O M M A R S H Washington County in the state legislature from 1975 to 1979, and has participated in numerous political campaigns over a span of nearly fifty years.

The thesis of this Article is that THE QUIET REVOLUTION-the work of Fred Bosselman and David Callies- was a significant influence on the Oregon program, one of a number of circumstances and personalities that coalesced in 1973 when the program was first conceived. There were other works and circumstances that also contributed to the Oregon program, but THE QUIET REVOLUTION provided direction, particularly with regard to the role of the plan, the need to protect the environment, and above all an increased role of the state in planning.

  • Nativism and the Ku Klux Klan in Oregon's 1922 Election
    THE FOOL OF THE FAMILY: NATIVISM AND THE KU KLUX KLAN IN OREGON’S 1922 ELECTION by EMILY PELLEGRINI A THESIS Presented to the Department of History and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts June 2014 An Abstract of the Thesis of Emily Pellegrini for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of History to be taken June 2014 The Fool OfThe Family: Nativism & The Ku Klux Klan In Oregon's 1922 Election Approved: ~ ~ Dr. Marsha We: ~ This thesis examines the intersection of national nativist trends with local peculiarities in Oregon's 1922 election. A surge of nativism in the United States during the post World War I period aided in the rapid expansion of the Second Ku Klux Klan, which came to be the prevailing political force in Oregon in the early 1920s. The KKK did not bring nativism to Oregon; rather, the state's unique social and political culture, coupled with the refusal of sitting Governor, Ben W. Olcott to recognize the Klan as a threat to social harmony, aided in the achievement of unprecedented Klan success in Oregon. The scope of this success is witnessed in the 1922 election, which resulted in a victory for a Klan backed governor, Walter M. Pierce, and the passage of the nation's first Compulsory Education Bill. To understand the prevailing sentiments before, during, and after the election this thesis analyzes the correspondence and speeches of both governors, as well as contemporary newspapers. As Oregon attempted to answer questions of the relationship between state and identity plaguing the nation it took actions that retain significance not only for Oregonians, but all Americans.
