I've got Charlie Olson's [Charlie Olson: Monograph #7, pp:138-139] "Dorgans." The Dorgans lived there where you say the Vandersantens were living, and then Bakers lived between the Vandersantens and the Vincents, but that was in 1900.
- 1900
Well, it would be early 1900's probably, huh?
- 1900

- 1900
Like I say, we don’t have any record of the real early mills, of where they were before 1900, but after 1900, especially the rebuilding time after the First World War, there were numerous mills scattered throughout the area.

And, other than that, it’s been like these old buildings that have been abandoned out there were probably built around the 1900s or so.

For Soap Creek Valley, the amount of old-growth conifer acreage remained about the same from 1845 until 1900 (see Chapter III; Figs. 36, 37, and 38; Maps 12 and 22; Tables 14, 15, 20, and 21; Appendices F and G), of which the oldest trees were barely 300 years of age in 1900 (see Table 19)

- 1902
sometime between 1902 and 1905.
- 1902
So these tracks then would be from 1902 to 1905 when these were put in there? [PHIL] Starting then.
- 1902
Olson, in fact, is shown in a c.1902 Soap Creek School photograph in which he could still identify most of the other 20 students and adults (including his “7-foot tall” school teacher, Mrs. de Moulin) nearly 90 years later, in 1990 (Olson 1994).

Wanda Marcks was a 9 years old when her family moved to the Tampico area of the Soap Creek Valley in 1904.

It was known as the "Smith house" when the Glenders purchased it between 1905 and 1910

Around 1905 it was called Ninth Street.
- 1905
Well, then about the county road, in 1905 the neighbors petitioned the county court to get. . . to make them a road, to open them up a public road. And they said, "Sorry, we have no funds for a road." So then like a little red hen they said, "We'll do it ourselves." And that was something.
- 1905
Well, you know, at that time, that was in 1905, not nearly all the people had a car and lots of little barns in town.
- 1905
And then you see in 1905, '04 or '05, the community put in Highland Way. Then we could get to town without right of ways and gates.
- 1905
and they predate 1905?
- 1905
No, not 1905, they don't predate it, they date that.
- 1905
Well it probably was 1905, but the road didn't get put in so it could . . . it was usable that first year that they made it, only in spots. Little sections. Yes, probably 1906 until that old right of way was dumped.
- 1905
And it was 1905 before they began to urge to mark the Oregon Trail.
- 1905
You see in 1905 when the Lewis and Clark Exposition.
- 1905
But that was before and right at 18 -- 1905. Yes, if I'd have been a little more historically minded, I would have had her tell me about when they lived there, you know. How life was and all that. But I didn't. I missed a lot things.
- 1905
And that's what became Highland Way in 1905. [PHIL] So what did they do, they went up sort of like up where Highway 99 is now till they got to sort of the ridge the hospital is on and then turned west to go around that marshy area down there? Yep. [PHIL] And so then they would go out off
- 1905
"And they predate 1905. Yes."
- 1905
"It probably was 1905 but the road didn't get through so it could. . . it was usable that first year." Oh, that's Highland Way. . . that they made it, only in spots. Little sections. Yes, probably 1906 until that old right of way was dumped." "Was that the remains of that right of way, that you know?" "Yes."
- 1905
Not until 1905. It went on down to Mountain View and the highway.
- 1905
Somewhere here I told you about the going to the Lewis and Clark Exposition in 1905. And meeting up with Ezra Meeker. Now do either one of you know about Ezra Meeker?
- 1905
I was about, in 1905 I was about 11.
- 1905/1917
He had cancer of the liver and he died a year or two after. . let's see. . .
- 1905
It might have been when we came to the fair, Lewis and Clark Fair in 1905.
- 1905/1915

Beginning in the early 1900s, the local use of automobiles and tractors permitted “deep plowing” farming practices and the creation of “truck farms”; i.e., the ability to drive select crops to local markets.
- 1905
Both Olson (1994) and Murphy (1995) claimed the “coming of the automobile” was the biggest change they had witnessed in their lives, while Rohner (1993), Glender (1994), and Cook (1995) emphasized the dramatic changes the use of internal combustion engines brought to farming.
- 1905

Esther Myra, born 14 June 1906, Seattle, WA; married Douglass Grandy, 1 September 1927.
- 1906
Yes, probably 1906 until that old right of way was dumped.
- 1906
No, more like 1906. Yeah, I'd like to have kept track of all of them.
- 1906
Yes, probably 1906 until that old right of way was dumped." "Was that the remains of that right of way, that you know?" "Yes."

- 1907
About 1907 or 1908?
- 1907
So it was about 1907 or 1908.
- 1907
And that was some time right after the Lewis and Clark exposition, so about 1907, 1908.
- 1907
Noted in the minutes of a 1907 meeting is an item that “girls” not be allowed in the club.
- 1908
And this was in 1908, when my father caine.
- 1908
So they lived here in 1908, in 1908 you could hear. . . she played music and she'd been to France.

However, Dean Peavy wasn't appointed until 1910.
- 1910
Well, they were probably out of here by 1910, but I found horns
- 1910
When I was aware of it, I didn't know what it was and my uncle came over here about 1910.
