Historic Mt. Crest Abbey Mausoleum “The Call of a Better Way”
Historic Mt. Crest Abbey Mausoleum at City View Cemetery 100th Anniversary 1914-2014 Walking Tour “The Call of a Better Way” You are invited to take a walking tour of the historic Mt. Crest Abbey Mausoleum. This self-guided tour packet includes a brief history of Mt. Crest Abbey, a map of the mausoleum, and the personal history of significant members of Salem’s community interred within the mausoleum. Feel free to stay as long as you like. Staff members will be available in the Funeral Home to answer any questions you may have. During pre-war optimism of the early 1900s--the Progressive Era--many people believed that technology and science were advancing rapidly. This also applied to their view of burial. The modern age of the mausoleum and the “Call of a Better Way” began, even though above-ground entombment is a long-standing custom. A mausoleum is an alternative to ground burial. It offers crypts for entombment and niches for cremation. It is dry, clean and secure, and protected from the elements. Mt. Crest Abbey was built by the Portland Mausoleum Company, and its construction was completed in the spring of 1914. Mt. Crest Abbey was dedicated on Memorial Day, May 30th of that year. The mausoleum is one of six similar mausoleums built by the Portland Mausoleum Company in Oregon between 1910 and 1919. The Portland Mausoleum Company went out of business in 1929--the same year that ushered in the Great Depression. Mt. Crest Abbey was designed by prominent architect Ellis Lawrence of Portland and his firm Lawrence & Holford. -

Voters' Pamphlet November 2007
Voters’ Pamphlet Oregon Special Election November 6, 2007 Bill Bradbury Oregon Secretary of State This Voters’ Pamphlet is provided for assistance in casting your vote-by-mail ballot. OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE ELECTIONS DIVISION BILL BRADBURY JOHN LINDBACK DIRECTOR SECRETARY OF STATE 141 STATE CAPITOL JEAN STRAIGHT SALEM, OREGON 97310-0722 DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE (503) 986-1518 Dear fellow Oregonian, In the coming weeks, you will have another chance to take the future of our state in your hands by voting. This November’s special election includes two ballot measures that deal with issues that are important to our state. Because these measures touch on such fundamental issues, they have attracted a large number of arguments. One hundred seventy-five arguments outline the debates in favor of and against the measures. I encourage you to spend some time reading through them so that you can vote wisely. Special elections are those that are called by the Legislature when they refer issues to the voters. Our initiative and referendum system – one of the first in the nation – is now over 100 years old and gives the power of law-making to the people. That system only works, however, when citizens choose to engage in it by voting. We are lucky in Oregon to be a vote-by-mail state – the only one in America! But increasingly, other states are investigating voting through the mail because it fits into the busy demands of a 21st century lifestyle. With vote-by-mail, every voter has over two weeks to read their Voters’ Pamphlet and fill out their ballot. -

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Joseph Willard Laythe for the Master of Arts in History presented May 5, 1992. Title: A Cycle of Crisis and Violence: The Oregon State Penitentiary, 1866-1968. APPROVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COMMITTEE: r~ Franklin West 2 This thesis examines seven crises at the Oregon State Penitentiary between 1866 and 1968 which are symptomatic of a larger pathology of power at play at the institution. These prison crises brought the pathology of power out from behind the thick grey walls of the institution and to the eyes and ears of an uninformed public. This arousal of such attention forced the prison to re-evaluate its penal model, enact half-hearted reforms, but then resume to the institution's traditional pattern and style of punishment. -

INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the fîlm along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy. -
