After the war, he joined the staff of the Cleveland Leader, and in 1869, moved to Leavenworth, Kansas, and worked on the Evening Bulletin. There he attended an Indian Council at Ocmulgee (Oklahoma) and became interested in Indian affairs. His letters and articles were published in the New York World, Lippincott's Magazine, the Overland, and many other periodicals. He became editor of the Salt Lake City Tribune in 1872. After a brief time with the San Francisco Tribune, he went to Butte, Montana, to edit the Inter-Mountain, before moving to Arkansas City, Kansas, to edit the Traveler. In 1888, Lockley settled in Salem, Oregon, to edit the Capital Journal. After 1899, he spent the remainder of his life in Missoula, Montana. He died in 1905, while visiting his son, Frederick E. Lockley Jr. (1871-1958), in Salem, Oregon. Biographical Note on Fred Lockley Jr. Frederick E. Lockley Jr. (1871-1958) was an Oregon historian, editor and rare book dealer.

During his boyhood, he worked on the newspapers edited by his father--as carrier-boy on the Butte Inter-Mountain, printer's devil on the Arkansas City Traveler, and later, as compositor, pressman, reporter, and circulation manager on the Capital Journal at Salem, and still later, as field agent, collector and solicitor on the Oregon Statesman and Pacific Homestead. He was also circulation manager and part owner of the East Oregonian of Pendleton, Oregon. Around 1907, Lockley began work with the Pacific Monthly. He wrote for the Pacific Monthly, as well as for other magazines including American Magazine and Youth's Companion.

  • Promoting Tourism and Development at Crater Lake: the Art of Grace
    GAIL E. EVANS Promoting Tourism and Development at Crater Lake The Art of Grace Russell Fountain and Mabel Russell Lowther PAINTINGS AND PHOTOGRAPHS have played a significant role in focusing public attention on certain western landscapes in North America and, ultimately, in encouraging their conservation and use as national parks. The paintings of artists such as John James Audubon (785–85) and George Catlin (796–872) initially brought public attention to scenic landscapes of the American West during the first half of the 8s. Historian Dwight Pitcaithley, among others, has attributed to Catlin the idea of parks for people and wildlife. During an 82 trip to the Dakotas, as Catlin captured images and recorded his thoughts about the value of western lands, he also mused on the idea that government might create a “magnificent park . a nation’s park, containing man and beast in all the wild and freshness of nature’s beauty.”2 During the following decades, artists, photographers, and writers advanced the national park idea with images of the Yosemite Valley, both pictorial and verbal, that appeared in popular magazines and were exhibited in the East, influencing decisions to designate Yosemite and the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias as a national park, managed by the State of California. Over the first half of the twentieth century, paintings, photographs, and descriptions continued to encourage the designation of national parks and raise public awareness of those places. The work of artists such as Albert Bierstadt, Thomas Moran, Thomas Hill, and scores of other men sparked interest in setting aside scenic landscapes in national parks to OHQ vol.

FOREWORD This story of the Hunt family is a compilation of almost five years of research. I never intended to get so involved in genealogy. All I wanted were a few facts about my ancestors, but I started reading early histories of Wayne County, Indiana and found the Hunts were very promin­ ent. I just couldn't let it go at that. I wanted to know more. I,visited ¥1r. Luther Feeger, the Business Manager of the Richmcnd Palladium (Richmond, Indiana), who writes the History Column for the pap­ er. Mr. Feeger talked to me, encouraging me and giving me instructions on how to go about such a collection. At that very moment, he had a post­ card on his desk from Lucy Evans of Palo Alto, California, requesting infonnation on the Charles Hunt family. He suggested I write to her which I did. Not only have we been able to help each other, but have be­ come very good friends.

  • To Access the David Duniway Papers Finding Aide
    Container List 1999.013 ~ Records ~ Duniway, David C. 07/19/2017 Container Folder Location Creator Date Title Description Subjects Box 01 1.01 1868-1980 Adolph-Gill Bldgs The materials in this folder relate to the buildings owned and occupied by J.K. Gill & Co. and by Sam Adolph. These two buildings are in the heart of the original business district of Salem. The Gill Building (1868) is west of the Adolph Block (1880), and they share a staircase. The Gill building was later referred to as the Paulus Building, as it was acquired by Christopher Paulus in 1885; both Robert and Fred Paulus were born upstairs in the building. The Adolph Building was erected by Sam Adolph following a fire that destroyed the wooden buildings on the site; the architect was J.S. Coulter. References to articles in the Daily American Unionist from April 23, 1868 through September 8, 1868 describe the four new brick buildings under construction on State and Commercial Streets. Thes buildings are the intended new homes for the businesses of J.K. Gill & Co., Charley Stewart, Durbin & Co., and Governor Wood's new dwelling. Progress is periodically described. Finally, the first ten days of September, 1868, the moves appear complete and advertisements indicate the items they will carry. Another article in the September 8, 1868 issue indicates that Story and Thompson are moving a house lately occupied by J.K. Gill and Co. to the eastern edge of the lot so that when it is time to construct additional brick buildings, there will be space.

  • Oregon State Library Oregon Trail Emigrant Resources
    Oregon State Library Oregon Trail Emigrant Resources Oregon State Library offers hundreds of resources for the researcher interested in the personal accounts of those who traveled to the Oregon Territory by wagon train. Missionaries first blazed the way to the Oregon Territory in the mid 1830s and beginning in 1842 thousands of overland travelers began their trek to the West. The majority of the Oregon Trail pioneers arrived between 1842 and 1860 because of the opportunity for land granted by the government. In 1852 alone, it is estimated that over 50,000 people traveled west over the Oregon Trail in hopes of prosperity (Merrill Mattes, The Great Platte River Road, 1969). The construction of the Transcontinental Railroad did not stop emigrants from arriving by wagon. The researcher will find that wagons continued to use the Oregon Trail into the early 1900s. This bibliography contains over 160 primary and secondary annotated resources of books, microfilm, CDs, and manuscripts. Those accounts that are included have at least the name of the pioneer and a statement that they traveled the Oregon Trail. Fictionalized stories “of what might have been” and general accounts of the Oregon Trail are not included. Although this list may seem comprehensive, there could be materials that we have overlooked, or new books that may have been added to the Oregon State Library collection. We suggest that further searches in our collection and other libraries can be made with the following Subject Headings: • Overland Journeys to the Pacific • Oregon National Historic Trail • Pioneers – Oregon (further divided by county) • Oregon Family History Hints for searching: • Check book indexes.

  • South Asians As Medical Scapegoats in British Columbia and the Pacific Coast States, 1900-1924
    South Asians as Medical Scapegoats in British Columbia and the Pacific Coast States, 1900-1924 by Isabel Wallace A thesis submitted to the Department of History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy in History Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (September, 2013) Copyright © Isabel Wallace, 2013 Abstract This transnational study of the first-wave South Asian immigrant experience in British Columbia and the Pacific coast states shows how elected officials at all levels of government, bureaucrats, union leaders, physicians, members of the press, and the general public utilized purported public health concerns to justify South Asian exclusion and disenfranchisement. While all Asian groups living along the Pacific coast faced opposition to their immigration and settlement, India’s subordinate status within the British Empire, and a sustained western association of South Asians with disease, uniquely positioned North American discourse on South Asians at the intersection of colonial theory, Orientalism, and medicalized nativism in the first two decades of the twentieth century. ii Acknowledgements First of all, I would like to thank God for watching over me during this entire process. I would also like to thank my supervisors, Dr. Jeffrey Brison and Dr. Barrington Walker, for their valuable assistance during the thesis writing process, and Committee members Dr. Ishita Pande, Dr. Blaine Allan, Dr. Jane Errington, Dr. Margaret Little, and Dr. Patricia Roy. I would also like to thank Dr. Galen Roger Perras for kindly agreeing to read early drafts of the thesis, and for providing me with guidance with my archival research at Library and Archives Canada.

BRODIE President Oregon State Editorial Association. The establishment of a newspaper man’s magazine by the School of Journalism of the University of Oregon should merit the close cooperation and support of every publisher in the state. It is bound to bring the coun try publishers into personal touch with each other and with the work that the S-chool of Journalism is doing. Those of us who have steered the destinies of the State Editorial Asso ciation in recent years realize fully the benefits of organization, Those of us who are in the printing and publishing business know that we have much to learn and can gain much from inter-communication. There is many a publisher who excels along a particular line, but there is no one publisher who excels in all departments. It is, therefore, the close relation between men and women in the same line of work, that promotes efliciency. Standard of price and of product in any business is always desirable. Just how to arrive at this standard can be determined only by frequent exchange of opinion as to the best method of handling the various de partments of the publishing business. The State Editorial Association appreciates the work of the School of Journalism. In a very few years the faculty of the Department has built up a wonderful organization that is sure to make its mark in the pub lishing business in Oregon within the next decade.

    HISTORY of the Columbia River Valley. 7rom ?he Zalles to the Sea By FRED LOCKLEY Volume I Illustrated CHICAGO THE S.J. CLARKE PUBLISHING COMPANY 1928 FRED LOCKLEY as FOREWORD There is a great human interest story in the valley of the Columbia Rivera romance of early mythsof Indian life and loreof the dis-. coveries of explorers by land and seaof settlement and empire building. There can be no doubt as to the importance of preserving the early records of this district in permanent form.Historians have already recorded dates, census-takers have tabulated the increase of population and works of reference abound. But I believe there is a field for another sort of historynot one of mere facts and figures, but one full of human interest.Since boyhood I have been interested in the stories of pioneers and of pioneer life.During the past quarter of a century it has been my good fortune to meet and talk with thousands of pioneersto inter- view them and to record their experiences in the columns of the daily press.It has seemed eminently fitting to gather the information thus gained into a more complete worka summing up of thousands of per- sonal contacts and to portray in graphic form the motives, difficulties and achievements that have combined to make the Columbia River Valley what it is today.I hope that this work may help to perpetuate the memories of those who contributed to the upbuilding of the Oregon Country and may prove of interest, not only to those of us who are here today, but to our successors, who shall continue to build when we have passed on.I appreciate to the full the work that has been done by previous writers and all I can hope to do is to supplement what they have done.

  • Columbia River Valley
    HISTORY of the Columbia River Valley 5'rom he 2a lies to the $ea \/olim' 11 Iflustrated CHICAGO THE S. J. CLARKE PUBLISHING COMPANY 1928 BIOGRAPHICAL HENRY WALTON GOODE The record of no business man of Portland has stood in larger measure as a synonym for honor and fairness than that of Henry Walton Goode.A spirit of marked enterprise ever characterized him in his business career and carried him into a prominent connection with large and important undertakings, and yet through all he maintained a spirit of fairness that won him the respect, admiration and enduring loyalty of employes and contemporaries alike.Long acquaintance with him meant stronger friendship, for his life in all of its various phases stood the test of intimate knowledge and of close association.His name is indelibly engraven upon the pages of Portland's history through his connection with the Portland Rail- road Company and through his service as president of the Lewis and Clark Expo- sition. A native of Indiana, Mr. Goode was born in Newcastle, September 26, 1862, a son of Walton and Lucy (Beck) Goode.The father was of English descent and the lineage could be traced back in direct line for over nine hundred years, the family in America being the Goodes of Virginia, one of the leading aristocratic families of that state.Walton Goode died when his son Henry was but seven years of age, but the mother is still living and is yet a resident of Indianapolis. Educated in the public schools, Henry W. Goode entered the high school when twelve or thirteen years of age, and the record which he therein made was the highest in his class.At the age of fifteen years he left school to accept a position in the business world.Without the advantage of a college course he was largely a self- educated and self-made man, learning many valuable lessons in the school of experi- ence and becoming in time a man of wide and comprehensive knowledge.

    SMITH'S PACIFIC NORTHWEST AMERICANA CHARLES W. SMITI-I'S PACIFIC NORTHWEST AMERICANA A CHECK LIST OF BOOKS AND PAMPHLETS RELATING TO THE HISTORY OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST EDITION 3, REVISED AND EXTENDED BY ISABEL MAYHEW OREGON HISTORICAL SOCIETY BINFORDS Sc MORT, Publishers, PORTLAND, OREGON 1950 FOREWORD IN April 1908, Charles W. Smith, Assistant Librarian of the University of Washington, was induced by fellow librarians to prepare a co-operative check list of books and pamphlets relating to the Pacific Northwest and available in librar- ies of the region. A plan was agreed upon whereby each library furnished a card list of its holdings to Mr. Smith, who as compiler codified the records and edited the resultant union list. The volume was published in 1909 by the Washington State Library under the title, Check-List of Books and Pamphlets Relating to the History of the Pacific Northwest to be Found in Representative Libraries of That Region. The title indicates clearly that the intention of the compiler and his collaborators was to prepare a list of actual holdings and not a comprehensive bibliography. Twelve years later, most of the libraries had grown in stature and their hold- ings of Pacific Northwest Americana had more than trebled.It was time to prepare a second edition, revised and enlarged, and one might even say consider- ably improved for the librarians of the region had learned much about biblio- graphy in more than a decade of growth and experience. Ihis edition, bearing the short title, Pacific Northwest Americana, was published in 1921. Eighteen libraries co-operated in its preparation.
