Jackson, Jennifer Lee, and Bob Zybach Soap Creek Valley History Project OSU Research Forests Monograph #15 2009 iii iv AcKNOWLEDGMENTS The purpose of this project is to better understand the history of an area that has been managed by the College of Forestry since 1929 when Mary J. L. McDonald began making contributions to obtain land adjacent to the Arboretum for what would become McDonald-Dunn Forest. The Soap Creek Valley History Project is the outgrowth of an oral history project begun in the 1970s by Royal Jackson under the direction of John Beuter. Funding for the Soap Creek Valley History Project is provided by the Oregon State University (OSU) College of Forestry. The Soap Creek Valley History Project was authorized initially in 1989 by Dr. William Atkinson, former Director of the OSU Research Forests. The oral history portion of this project remained under Dr. Atkinson’s direction until January 1994, when it was assigned to Jeffrey Garver, Manager of the OSU Research Forests. In December of that year, responsibility for the oral histories was given to Ann Rogers, Cultural Resources Manager for the OSU Research Forests. The project has since been continued by Deborah Johnson and David Lysne. This publication was produced by the Forestry Communications Group of the College of Forestry. Special thanks go to Tim Hills, of McMenamins, for providing photos of the Multnomah Poor Farm (now McMenamins Edgefield), and to theT routdale Historical Society for allowing their use.

My grandmother and grandfather were Gangles. Gangles? Gangle. That’s an Austrian family. My grandfather came from Austria; my grandmother was born in Minnesota. Her mother had just arrived from Sweden. She was Swedish. Why did they come to this country? Well, I think my grandmother came here about the time there was a large migration from the Scandinavian countries, and basically they left the Scandinavian country because of over- population. In those countries the wars of the earlier times had ceased, and they had a fairly prosperous period. Large families had the tradition to divide the land among the sons. The farmlands were being divided into unproductive areas. As I understand from talking to some of these people, they actually raised funds to ship the sons off toA merica, or to help them get passage to America so they wouldn’t have to break the farm into smaller units. Do you remember your grandparents? Oh, yes, my grandmother. My grandmother and grandfather were divorced. I just saw my grandfather once. My grandmother had a real influence in my life. She was a real, oh, what we’d call a “character” in a way. Real self-sufficient. She’d been left with a large family to take care of herself. She washed clothes for people, did housework, picked fruit. This was in Minnesota? No, in Oregon. That’s after they’d come to Oregon that this happened. Why did they come to Oregon? Well, I think my great-grandmother and her husband had come to Woodland, Washington, some time earlier. About 1910, my grandmother, grandfather, and family came to Oregon. My grandfather had a variety of jobs. He worked in the woods as a busheler and a saw-filer back in those days. Are we talking about your [grand]parents on your mother’s side? Yes, on my mother’s side. Of course, my grandmother cooked, and cooked in logging camps a lot of times. On my father’s side—my father was born in Vancouver, and I was born in Port- land. Vancouver, Washington? Vancouver, Washington. His family background, the Rowleys, came from early pioneer stock. The earliest records inN ew England have Rowleys in them, and as far back as we know is Saratoga County, New York, about 1800. The family came toI llinois about 1850, and on west the next generations. 1 What ancestry is that? Oh, basically English. And my great-great-grandmother was French-Canadian. Her name was Nepiere [Mary E. Nepiere]. But my father was born in Vancouver. His mother was a Manny, and her family was a Scotch-Irish family. They were in the sawmill business in the Seattle area. In 1905, my father’s family moved to Seattle and my grandfather worked for his father-in-law in a sawmill where downtown Seattle is now. My dad and his uncle greased skids on a skid road. I think as near as I can gather, it was near Lake Washington, probably around where the University of Washington is. Do you remember that as a kid? No, no. That was a long time before I was born. I was born in Portland. They were only up there three or four years, and then came back to Portland. How did your father happen to come to Oregon? Well, he was born in Vancouver, Washington. His family moved to Seattle, and then to Port- land about 1906. How did he come to Washington? Where did he come from? Well, I don’t know. His parents were born in Illinois, and his grandparents were born in Il- linois, and I think they came, too. I’m not sure if it was just his dad who came west, or if he came with his parents. There were quite a few of the family in the Portland area, so I have an idea that they kind of came together. At the time of the Second World War, every Rowley in the Portland phone book was my relative—about a dozen of them. And now there are hun- dreds of them I guess. That was in Portland? Yes, in Portland. Everyone in Oregon was a relative I knew about, but there were a lot I didn’t know about. What year were you born? In 1924. In Portland out near the Lents District. Are you familiar with it? When I was four years old we moved to Tualatin, two miles southeast of Tualatin, to a place we nick-named “the sticks.” Why did you move there? Well, the folks had bought a five-acre tract, and the place was called the “Comte and Colman Tract.” All the logged-off areas had been subdivided into five-acre tracts. They wanted to get out of town. Was your dad a logger? No, he was a printer. Practically all his life he was a printer. Although he worked at different times, not in the woods, I wouldn’t say, but he worked around the woods people. Most of his family, you know, were in the woods. My uncles were woodworkers on both sides of my family.

With that transition came the recogni- tion of a program with a strong and distinctive foothold in Moreland Hall—film studies. “When the School was reorganized from the English Department to a School, we chose to designate in the new name the areas of teach- ing and scholarship/creativity wherein we had a reputation for excellence and could build on those traditions,” School Director Anita Helle notes.

    Jodie Davaz Oral History Interviews, May 27, 2014 Title “Student Media in a World of Change” Date May 27, 2014 Location Valley Library, Oregon State University. Summary In her first interview, Davaz provides a brief overview of her background, the birth of her interest in digital culture and the path that she traveled from her upbringing in northern Idaho to her undergraduate education at OSU. From there she lends detailed insight into her work at the campus radio station, KBVR-FM, discussing the progression of her own work as well as the culture of the station, its technical infrastructure, and its forthcoming move to new quarters. Davaz also provides perspective on the local music scene in Corvallis. Another major theme of the session is the decline in interest within the student body for the Beaver Yearbook and Davaz' aspirations for a new publication, Beaver's Digest, that will take its place. The interview concludes with Davaz answering questions about contemporary attitudes on campus, including her thoughts on issues of importance to students of the day as well as student perceptions of Oregon State University.
