    CENSUS IN WASHINGTON TERRITORY-- 1860 Pioneers living in all of the former Oregon Country were composed of a variety of people: •twenty-two percent of the settlers were from the Old Northwest area around the Great Lakes, •twenty-one percent of the population was from the slave holding states of the South, •Missouri, a slave-holding state, contributed ten percent -- more than any other single state, •eight percent of the residents came from the Middle Atlantic states, •four percent of the inhabitants were from New England, Washington Territory had to overcome this varied mixture of residents to receive any attention from national politicians then facing an impending sectional crisis Population numbers from the census of 1860 further demonstrated the population difficulties: Clark County -- 2,384 Thurston County -- 1,507 Walla Walla County -- 1,318 King County -- 302 these small numbers resulted in Washington Territory being almost universally ignored Four additional weekly newspapers were established west of Cascades by 1860 these were inadequate to the task of generating interest in the remote region ANOTHER WASHINGTON TERRITORIAL GOVERNOR DEPARTS Governor R.D.

    A - Te ioy of h Poa DithTic Corps 0f Egirteers ii 871 1969 U. S. ARMY ENGINEER DISTRICT, PORTLAND CORPS OF ENGINEERS PORTLAND, OREGON Printed: March 1970 This history of the Portland District was researched, and edited by Henry R. Richmond!!!, a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley where he was a history major. FOREWORD Since arriving in Portland in July 1967 to become District Engineer, I have had many opportunities to acquaint myself with the long, colorful history of the Portland District. One hundred years ago, the work of the District consisted of small, simple, almost quaint efforts to improve navigation. Pulling snags from river waterways, cutting a bar to seventeen feet with a primitive old bucket dredge, or dynamiting rocks out of the Columbia River are repre- sentative of the work done in the early days. By comparison, the massive, complex dams built by the District in modern times have made significant changes in the Columbia and Willamette river valleys. The story of how and why the District has progressed from small dredging and snagging activities to a great multiple purpose construction program is a very interesting one. Even more worthwhile is the story of how the work of the District has contributed to the welfare of the people of the Northwest. As this history explains, the work of the Corps helped to open up the Northwest. The prosperity of Portland and the Willamette Valley depended in large part on the early navigation projects of the Portland District. The Oregon Coast has been opened up to shipping by large jetty and dredging projects.

Some or the records are for mp~r1ages solemnized as early ea 1848 and a great many of these marrisges took place before Oregon became a state (1859). These records were all hand written by the Recorder or his Deputy and in some cases extremely difficult to reac. Care was usec in this abstracting and when it was impossible to determine excctly what the Record­ er had intended more thei11 one spelling of the name is given. Those using these records must keep in mind that often the person writing the record spelled the nar.1e as it sound ea to him. On some the notation "5¢ U. s.
