All the materiaki entering hito the make-up of the Orftl on Almanac are Oregon products. But a short time ago the paper upon which you are reading of the facto about Oregon, both cover and inside, was in latdin trees that pushed their peaked growths toward the skies of the Willamette Valley.. The trees were cut their fibre crushed to pulp, the paper manufactured in Oregon, and today it carries the tale of OregonSs opportunities to millions of readers East, West, North and South. The printing; the engraving of the zme etchings and half-tones; the drawing of the illustrations; the draughting of the figurative charts and mapseverything was done in Oregon. There is en ever growing sentiment that is daily being put to the practical test of "Madei n Oregon." This sentimeiat means more than the mere words to our people. It is a state-wide loyelty to the idea that Oregon people believe to the utmost in utilizing Oregon's rich resources. They may be depended neon to encourage with their patronage all who come to the state and invest their capital in manufacturing enterprises. The people appreciate every effort put forth for the fullest and quickest development of Oregon. INTRODUCTION. Oregon invites the earliest homeseeker who desires th better his condition, and it is the purpose of the state officers, as Well as the com- munity organizations, to see that accurate representations are made kr the guidance of all who seek to avail themselves of the boundless oppor-, tunities in this large and prosperous, but thinly populated, stale. All authorities unite in stating that Oregon can support in happiness and prosperity, a population of many millions. The people of Oregon ex-tend a spirited and cordial welcome to all who, with the capability and purpose of making homes for themselves, wbuld come to this new country and join in the upbuilding of a proud commonwealth. How to Succeed in Oregon. Oregon's climate is far more faVbrable than can be fotmd anywhere east of the Pacific slope. Oregon's hillsides and valleys are rich and fertile; her scenery is matchless in grandeur. Oregon's home environment is delightfully attractive. Conditions for success are far more favorable than in any of the oldery thickly populated states. All who look to Oregon for a future home should remember, how- ever, that the same qualities of 'industry, prudence and perseverance are required for success here that would be needed anywhere. No one should come to Oregon expecting to "get'lich quick;" to achieve success without work and well applied knowledge. Above all, no one should come to Oregon expecting to find immediate employment in any line, in any of the cities or towns. When you come, bring enough funds to pro- vide traveling and living expenses for a considerable period while you are visiting different localities and searching for th,e opportnnity which appeals to you and in which you have confidence you can ' succeed. Do not build up false hopes of fabulous affluence and easy life without work. In selecting a location for an Oregon home, the newcomer should visit the locality and inspect the land, to learn whether it is suited to the tastes and requirements of his family and the special branch of agri- cultural industry in which he expects to engage. He should consult the leading business men of the commercial organizations ,of the neighboring community and satisfy himself as to his purchase. If he does not find exactly what he wants in one part of the state, it will pay to investigate further, as conditions are so diversified -in, Oregon tha,t no long search will be necessary to locate satisfactmily. Once located you will find yourself among hospitable and sociable neighbors, whose delight it is to be of service to the newcomer, and by information and 0e-operation- be of every assistance to him and make hint feel at home and help him ceed. A warm welcome into churches, schools, granges, improvenient . clubs, fraternal organizations and other societies awaits every new citizen who comes to Oregon with the honest purposnof achieving independence and making a home. Many thousand families have come to Oregon during the past few years, and by following these simple precautions, have located happily and are prospering beyond their fondest expectations. 3 ,THE OPEN WAY. By MAIism.ill N. Dame, Secretary Oregon State Immigration Commission. Oregon had never so much to offer the seeker for a home as now. The pioneers found in this broad state nothing comparable to the present opportunity for well doing and well being. The dangers of another day are forgotten. The work done is the heritage of today. Those who earnestly desire to make good by investing a reasonable amount of work and cash can nowhere do better than in Oregon. In the yesterday of this state's development the first comers dis- covered millions of acres of rich land that had never been stirred by the plow. So great was the area and so limited the transportation that the immense amount of accomplishmemt since is but a small fraction of that which now opens out to be done. All of modem invention and appliance is now provided for the settler in Oregon. An influ.3, of settlement extending over many years cannot take up all the lands or materially decrease the business chances. Trans- portation has arrived. The wide Willamette Valley is being gridironed with electric suburban lines over its entire 100-mile length. An agri- cultural population six times as great as now can be prosperously sup- ported there. The Coast region has been reached by railroad lines and here are the forests of fir and the usual dairying regions. Interior Oregon has been reached by two competing railroad lines at a cost of many millions of dollars and transportation is being increas- ingly furnished to aregionof future homes at great as the entire state of Ohio-. Access to the home opportunity country by water is not being neglected. The millions spent for new rail lines are proportionately balanced by the expenditures of government, state and city, in harbor improVement, channel deepening, lock and canal construction, both' on the Columbia and thetWillamette rivers. With ships from the seas and boats on the with rail lines increasingly covering the state and reaching .bothriver' east and west, the market for the production of Oregon's approximately.

Conard 2011: Fire History and Climate Change. Report Submitted to the Joint Fire Science Program for Project 09‐2‐01‐09. 215 pages + 6 Appendices Abstract This report synthesizes available fire history and climate change scientific knowledge to aid managers with fire decisions in the face of ongoing 21st Century climate change. Fire history and climate change (FHCC) have been ongoing for over 400 million years of Earth history, but increasing human influences during the Holocene epoch have changed both climate and fire regimes. We describe basic concepts of climate science and explain the causes of accelerating 21st Century climate change. Fire regimes and ecosystem classifications serve to unify ecological and climate factors influencing fire, and are useful for applying fire history and climate change information to specific ecosystems. Variable and changing patterns of climate‐fire interaction occur over different time and space scales that shape use of FHCC knowledge. Ecosystem differences in fire regimes, climate change and available fire history mean using an ecosystem specific view will be beneficial when applying FHCC knowledge. Authors William T.

  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature
    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject.

  • Observations at Terrestrial Impact Structures: Their Utility in Constraining Crater Formation
    Meteoritics & Planetary Science 39, Nr 2, 199–216 (2004) Abstract available online at http://meteoritics.org Observations at terrestrial impact structures: Their utility in constraining crater formation Richard A. F. GRIEVE* and Ann M. THERRIAULT Earth Sciences Sector, Natural Resources Canada, 588 Booth Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0Y7, Canada *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] (Received 22 July 2003; revision accepted 15 December 2003) Abstract–Hypervelocity impact involves the near instantaneous transfer of considerable energy from the impactor to a spatially limited near-surface volume of the target body. Local geology of the target area tends to be of secondary importance, and the net result is that impacts of similar size on a given planetary body produce similar results. This is the essence of the utility of observations at impact craters, particularly terrestrial craters, in constraining impact processes. Unfortunately, there are few well-documented results from systematic contemporaneous campaigns to characterize specific terrestrial impact structures with the full spectrum of geoscientific tools available at the time. Nevertheless, observations of the terrestrial impact record have contributed substantially to fundamental properties of impact. There is a beginning of convergence and mutual testing of observations at terrestrial impact structures and the results of modeling, in particular from recent hydrocode models. The terrestrial impact record provides few constraints on models of ejecta processes beyond a confirmation of the involvement of the local substrate in ejecta lithologies and shows that Z-models are, at best, first order approximations. Observational evidence to date suggests that the formation of interior rings is an extension of the structural uplift process that occurs at smaller complex impact structures.
