Abstract:At the end of the nineteenth century, Portland, Oregon, was struggling to adequately collect and dispose of the refuse being produced by its rapidly growing population and industries. City officials sought to exert greater municipal control over Portland’s waste management system by funding the construction and operation of garbage crematories and bypassing ordinances to control the collection, movement, and disposal of waste. These measures, however, did not solve the city’s garbage problem. Examining Portland’s early history of waste management reveals a municipal government struggling to deal with the material effects of urbanization and industrialization. This study also looks at the ways that anti-Chinese racism shaped the city’s waste management system. From characterizing both Chinese residents and unincinerated garbage as legal nuisances to attempting to prohibit them from employment as street cleaners, it is evident that Portland’s anti-Chinese and urban sanitation movements overlapped and, when viewed together, reveal early examples of environmental racism.

Abstract:The modern historiography of Oregon's settler colonization distances itself radically from the euphemistic accounts that were common into the mid-twentieth century. Some assumptions, however, are rarely challenged. In his article, author Julius Wilm addresses three areas where local agency continues to be overemphasized in modern historiography at the expense of national forces or it is misunderstood in its effects. The article covers the negotiation of the “Oregon Question” in the U.S. Congress during the late 1830s and early 1840s, the passage of the Donation Land Claim Act in 1850, and the extreme violence of settler militias against Indigenous people in the war of 1855–1856. As Wilm argues, “re-introducing the U.S. government as an important agent of Oregon’s colonization…provides crucial context for the colonial push into the Pacific Northwest and the violence it unleashed.”

Abstract:This Research Note reports on two items, one archaeological and one historical, on Oregon’s Manila galleon. The first item summarizes the find of timbers on the north Oregon coast, which initial testing indicates date from the time of the Santo Cristo de Burgos, the Manila galleon thought to have wrecked in the area in 1693-94. The second item traces the controversy that raged in the early 20th century over the masses of wax found in the Nehalem Spit area. There was heated disagreement between those who thought it was beeswax, and therefore from a shipwreck, and those who thought it was ozokerite, a mineral wax indicative of possible presence of oil. This brief drama played out in lurid newspaper ads and an oil drilling outfit operating on Nehalem Spit.

Abstract:On April 13, 2021, Amanda L.
