Oregon. Alice Hall-Chapman, M.D. Class of 1886. (1900)

The number of physicians in practice in this State is not known. There is no reliable list; the Secretary of the State does not know. There is said to be one doctor for every 350 persons, and 60 women physicians. Of the women 35 are in Portland, which has 80,000 inhabitants of the 350,000 in the State. It should be remembered that Oregon has an area nearly twice as great as that of all the New England States. There are few institutions having medical offices. So far as I can learn only one woman physician has ever been appointed to a public office. Dr. Davidson, of our own school, was for a short time assistant physician to the State Insane Asylum. The appointment is a political one, and a change in administration deprived her of the position. The State Medical Society, meeting once a year, admits women members. In 1892, Dr. Mae Whitney Cardwell was elected treasurer of the society and has held the office ever since. None of the local societies has ever admitted women. Application has been made to the

Portland society several times, but in each instance the applicant has been kindly advised to withdraw her name before its presentation to the society, and has always followed the advice, on the assurance that she could not possibly be elected. Five years ago a woman graduate of the medical department of the State University earned the appointment of interne to the hospital; this position depends on the class standing during the entire course. Public announcement was made of the award, but the appointee was privately advised by her professors not to accept the position; as there never had been a woman interne before she would find it very uncomfortable. She followed the advice, which, it may be said, fairly represents the sentiment of the State in regard to advancement generally.

''Until recently women physicians have not had a good name, particularly in Portland. Some of the earlier practitioners did a notoriously irregular and criminal practice and gave a bad reputation to the profession for women.'' (to whom is she referring?) It has been lived down in large part, however, by the later comers who have maintained a high standard of life and practice. Their persistent effort has had its effect; in general, the woman physician now stands on her own merits; she is well spoken of, and she has a good share of the desirable practice. All through the State the practice is of a very general character. There are specialists, of course, but only one in the State who confines himself to his line of nervous diseases. Men and women take whatever comes to them. Some of the younger women are beginning to operate as they have opportunity, and some of the best of the younger men in Portland give them valuable aid. In the country towns the men treat the women in the profession with marked fairness and courtesy. Five graduates of our own school have settled in Oregon, but no one of them has won distinction. One went as a nurse to Manila, sent by the Woman's Emergency Corps. But most of the women physicians are graduates of one of the two Oregon schools. In addition, there are worthy representatives of the leading schools for women in the country. Dr. Mary Thompson was the first woman to practice in Oregon. She is a native of New York. She read medicine in Illinois and took lectures in Cincinnati, but never graduated. She opened an office in Portland thirty-four years ago, and practised eighteen years. She gained a large practice and retired with the respect of the community and of most of the profession. At seventy-five she is still an active and vigorous woman. She deserves not only the credit due the pioneer but the esteem which work of high character always merits.

1842-1925 Graduate of Willamette. Judge and lawyer in Monmouth/Dallas area. Ran for U.S. Congress in 1886? Against Binger Hermann? Firm Clark & Butler. Board of Regents of UO, State Normal School (WOU), OSU. State Rep. 16th session (1891), Oregon Senator for 18th & 19th session (1893 & 1895). Possible confusion with N. H. Butler? (Newton H. b. 1837)
 * Sources on N. L.
 * 
 * "N. L. Butler is a hold-over Senator from Polk county, whose residence is at Monmouth; he was elected to the Senate four years ago on the Democratic ticket, and represented his county both in the 1893 and '95 Legislatures."

Butler, came to Oregon in 1849, settled at Oregon City, and in 1850 moved to Portland and ran a store here. J. B. V. Butler put up over 5,000 to buy the plant of the Oregon Herald. The plant of the Oregon Herald was sold at public auction and bought by H. L. Pittock.

Santiam Correctional Institution
"The building that is now Santiam Correctional Institution was constructed in 1946 and used as an annex to the Oregon State Hospital for mental health patients. In 1960 the building was acquired by Fairview Home and given the name Frederic Prigg Cottage.

In 1977 Prigg Cottage opened as a minimum custody pre-release center to ease overcrowded conditions at Oregon State Penitentiary, Oregon State Correctional Institution and Oregon Women's Correctional Center. During the 1980's, Prigg Cottage evolved into CDRC (Corrections Division Release Center), DCRC (Department of Corrections Release Center), and finally, in 1990 became Santiam Correctional Institution (SCI). For efficiency SCI and MCCF were administratively joined in 1992 under the management of one superintendent.

The prison complex sits on a 12-acre parcel with nine acres inside the perimeter fence."

Marion County
The Comprehensive Plan previously identified several communities that do not satisfy any of the new definitions of an unincorporated community because they had too few commercial, industrial, and public uses (North Santiam, Pratum, Shaw, Talbot, Waconda, West Stayton), no residential use (Central Howell, North Howell, Drake's Crossing, Hopmere, Norton's Corner, Brooks Interchange, North Jefferson Interchange, Santiam Interchange, Talbot Interchange, Lone Pine), or it was not an exception area (St. Louis).

Communities discussions
Grrr. The computer ate my links. Follow up on usage of county templates, re: non-existent ghost towns are OK to have in tl but communities that formerly were independent but absorbed into larger city are not. Develop a guideline, perhaps a WP:OREMOS for things the group has agreed on, like our policy on Notable residents sections.

Copy of EncMstr's blurb from User:AlexNewArtBot/OregonList as of 06-13-2007
This is a list of articles generated by rules for the bot at user:AlexNewArtBot suggests might be related to WikiProject Oregon topics.

The list is a starting point for determining which articles are part of WikiProject Oregon. Project members determine whether articles should be a part of the project or not. The coordination for investigating articles on this list is at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Oregon. After making a determination, alter the entries—deleting entries alters the list numbering. Striking out checked articles is sufficient. Some may wish to give reasoning for rejecting an article.

If I see that one more "town" is "nestled" in anything, anywhere, I'll scream. Katr67 05:45, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Cities are platted. Not "planted" or "plotted" or any other such thing. Plats are also different from "plans". Think before you edit! Katr67 21:49, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Please please please use: Show preview instead of making multiple edits to the same article. If you're worried about losing your work, copy and save it to a Word doc or something similar (the Wiki markup will still work if you need to use your saved copy). Multiple edits make it hard to track changes and clutter up the page history. OK, so it bumps up your edit count. And? Oh, and BTW, also please please please write good edit summaries! Katr67 18:39, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

If you mention "grammar" in your edit summary, be sure to spell it right. :) Katr67 17:06, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Grammar corner

 * renown (Renown is a noun. Renowned is an adjective. Things can be "world-renowned" but not "world renown".)


 * Similarly: iced tea, canned vegetables, stained glass, first-come-first-served, old-fashioned, etc.
 * (Not "ice tea", "can vegetables", "stain glass", "first come first serve", "old fashion", etc.)


 * Darn that Pacific Northwest dialect, anyway.


 * BTW, it is "supposed to", not "suppose to".


 * Your=possessive; You're=contraction of "you are"
 * Loose (adjective)=not tight; lose (verb)=cease to have


 * Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt...


 * As seen misused by an Oregon State Senator: a "brainchild" is an idea, not a person.


 * Wander=to move without purpose; wonder=a mental pondering.
 * Though sometimes intentionally misused for poetic effect, one does not "wonder off".


 * When there is a change of leadership, one "hands over the reins" to someone else, or they might "take the reins". The phrase refers to reins, as in what one uses to steer a horse. If you must use this cliché, please don't use the word "reigns", even though I could see why you might think that makes sense. Please.


 * "Everyday" (one word, adjective) means commonplace or ordinary, "every day" (two words, adjectival phrase) means something that happens daily or "each day". Almost every song title with the word "everyday" in it is wrong. Rock stars don't employ copy editors. Be warned.

Peeves

 * "Based out of"
 * "Centered around"
 * "Serviced" vs. "Served" You may "service" a car, and there is a *ahem* procedure wherein a stud "services" a mare, thus when the word "service" is used in connection with humans it is either business marketing jargon-creep and/or adding an unintended snicker-worthy sexual dimension to the transaction. "I was serviced by the the waiter." Oh were you now? Lucky you! I hope you left a good tip. See: UO Style Guide and When Bad Grammar Happens to Good People. Notwithstanding sports like tennis, except for the above-mentioned situations, you can't go wrong if you remember that "serve" is a verb, and "service" is a noun.
 * "Rich history" Almost as bad as "nestled". Is there any other kind of history? Does anyone admit that the history of something is "poor", "thin" or "dull"?
 * Postal abbreviations in the body of articles.
