In 1843, Tennessee drifter William Overton saw great potential for this timber-rich land surrounded by mountains, but lacked the 25 cents required to file a land claim. He struck a bargain with his partner Asa Lovejoy of Boston, Massachusetts: for a quarter, Overton would share his claim to the 640-acre site known as “The Clearing.” Overton grew bored with working the land and sold his half of the claim to Francis W. Pettygrove of Portland, Maine. The new partners could not agree to a name for their new township as both wished to name the city after their own hometown. They decided to flip a coin, now known as the “Portland Penny,” to settle the dispute. Pettygrove won two tosses out of three, thus naming their new home Portland. The Dark Side Portland’s history has a dark side that began in the late 1800’s with Joseph “Bunco” Kelly, a hotelier who was notorious for kidnapping young men into the shanghai trade. Shanghaiing was the illegal act of abducting able-bodied men who hung around the Portland waterfront area and selling them to ship captains to be used as free slave labor. Many of the bars in Portland had trap doors that were used to drop the victim into the Portland Underground, a series of tunnels that were linked to the basements of various buildings. These tunnels contained cells that the unfortunate victims were locked in until they were sold to a ship captain. Location, Location, Location Portland’s prime location gave the city an advantage over the nearby ports and it quickly grew. With access both to the Pacific Ocean, by way of the Columbia River, and to the agricultural Tualatin Valley, via the “Great Plank Road” (now U.S. Highway 26), it was shipping and receiving that made Portland prosperous. It remained the major port in the Pacific Northwest for much of the 19th century, until the 1890’s, when Seattle’s deepwater harbor was connected to the rest of the mainland by railroads, affording an inland route without the treacherous navigation of the Columbia River. The City of Roses The first known reference to Portland as “The City of Roses” was made by visitors to an 1888 Episcopal Church convention, the nickname continued growing in popularity after the 1905 Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition where Mayor Harry Lane suggested that the city needed a “festival of roses.” The first Portland Rose Festival was held two years later, and remains the city’s major annual festival a century later. The Bubblers The turn of the century brought a close to Portland’s colorful early years with secure jobs in lumber mills and new found wealth from supporting the California Gold Rush. To encourage the changing times, lumber baron and philanthropist Simon Benson, commissioned 20 elegant freshwater drinking fountains to curb the consumption of alcohol by thirsty employees. 503.906.1444 www.RobLevy.com 4 Benson Bubbler DEMOGRAPHICS Portland Oregon MSA Population: 2,289,800 (2012) including Clark County WA. 48% of Oregon’s population lives in the Portland area Livin’ Large: Portland is the largest city in Oregon and second largest in the Pacific Northwest Location: Portland is 173 feet above sea level, situated 30 miles north of the 45th parallel north Time Zones: Portland is in the Pacific Time Zone.

As the Commission recognized in the Notice, the best way to help the largest number of AM stations to quickly and efficiently improve their service is to open such an AM-only window. Any other approach will make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for AM stations, to obtain the translators they urgently need to remain competitive and provide our communities with the service they deserve.

    51 THE VOICES of VANPORT Radio and the Flood of ‘48 Vanport Pg. 1 The Voices of Vanport Radio and the Flood of ‘48 By Dan Howard 2nd edition Copyright 2020 By Dan Howard, Portland Oregon Contact the author at [email protected] Cover: The title and cover layout were inspired by the short-lived The Voice of Vanport newspaper whose motto was “News of Vanport – By Vanporters – For Vanporters” Front Cover Caption: One of the several ham radio stations set up at the Red Cross Portland headquarters during the disaster. A WRL Globe Trotter transmitter is paired with a Hammarlund HQ-129-X receiver. The exhausted expressions tell the story of the long hours served by volunteers during the emergency. (Photo courtesy of Portland Red Cross Archives). The Voices of Vanport is an official publication of The Northwest Vintage Radio Society, organized in 1974 in Portland Oregon.
