That whole hillside was clearcut to supply the logs for the first cabin built in 1925.
- 1925
In 1925, the major project was the construction of a Forestry Club Cabin in Peavy Arboretum, just west of a knoll covered with young Douglas-fir trees.
- 1925
I think they built the first Forestry Club Cabin in 1925, so that probably was purchased before then.
- 1925
I think 1925.
- 1925
Establishment of the State’s forest seedling nursery in the 1920s (McDaniel 1931) and a CCC camp in the 1930s (Thomas 1980) on nearby property provided the trees and manpower necessary to begin planting the new land acquisitions (see Fig. 19; Thomas & Schroeder 1936; Sekermestrovich 1990; Zybach c.1991).

Okay, so that would be before 1926, she moved out of here in 1926.
- 1926
We'll keep going that way, I don't want to get ahead of us, I just want to keep stopping at these places and identifying who was there and. . . we've gone by the Baker's place and the cooks bought from the Bakers and I've got Cook's up until 1926, so now we're heading over to the Moore place here.

Well, you figure when I was about probably four years old, so that would be sixty- two years ago [about 1927].
- 1927
They split up about 1927.
- 1927
Well, were all these homes built in 1927 or '28?
- 1927

And in 1928 we moved from Yamhill up to Berry Creek, and one of the reasons for it was they wanted to get closer to Oregon State [University].
- 1928
When you moved to Berry Creek then was 1928?
- 1928
Do you remember any of the families that lived in Berry Creek in 1928?
- 1928-1930
[Stambaughs, John Blasch, and Rohners raised flax for the Oregon State Penitentiary in 1928-30.
- 1928
But see 1928 we bought the tractor and then, we started using the tractor.
- 1928

[Lumber was shipped from the mill near the Soap Creek Schoolhouse in 1928 by Model T trucks. After running through the planing mill in Wells, it was shipped by rail. JR]
- 1928
[JAKE] Well, anyway along the line he went to work for Alvie Govier too, so the two of them felled timber for Alvie Govier, and he in 1928, early in 1928, he studied for his citizenship.
- 1928
So he horse logged, this was in 1928 when Studack got killed, and he logged until about 1935 was it?
- 1928
and after in 1928 when my father bought a tractor then we used the tractor on the binder, and we had lights on the tractor.

- 1928
So, you were there in 1928.
- 1928
And this is even in 1928.
- 1928
Reading other Soap Creek Valley histories would indicate a road did exist from Lewisburg to Sulphur Springs in 1928-30.
- 1928
[CHUCK] It took most of a half a day, but that's still pretty good money for 1928- 29.
- 1928
We were here in about '28 and after looking at that photo, I can see that there were several houses missing so probably by '36 they'd started tearing down the houses.
- 1928
In the 1928 school year Alvie Govier converted a Model T truck into a school bus and transported the farm and mill kids to "Tampico with Mrs. Montgomery as teacher.

- October 1928
Oh yeah, they had decided to name the baby Alfred, after Alfred E. Smith.
- 1929
The first was 1929 or '30 I think.
- 1929
Well, '29 or '30.
- 1929
Oh, that would have been 1929 or sometime like that.
- 1929
I bought my first car in 1929 and my father traded in a 1924 Model T Ford for a 1927 Model T Ford Roadster.
- c. 1929
Yes, this is where Kester lived and he rented since about 1929, I think was when he rented this place and they rented it until Camp Adair took over.
- 1929
In 1929 a young fellow started a school bus from Summit to Philomath for high school kids but he drove it into the garage where he got it and disappeared when there was 3 months left of school.
- 1929
Oh, he was tied in with Union Oil Company, I believe, from the time he got out of the service until we moved to Antelope Valley the second time, which was in 1929.
- 1929
So anyway, then in 1929 of course my grandfather lost about everything he had and my dad kind of took the tumble with him.
- 1929
so your grandfather Vanderburg lost pretty much everything in the stock market crash in 1929?
- 1929
Now, let me pull out the other map [1929 Metsker's map of Tsp. 10 S., Rng. 5 W.].
- 1929
After high school and until 1929, he worked in a variety of jobs in logging, road, and bridge construction.

- 1929
For the 1929 and post of 1930 years Mrs. Ed Blake was brought to the old "Modrell" home converted to a school house - house located west side of "Soap Creek Rd" approximately half way between the Griffin and Elmer Govier farms.
- 1929
[CHUCK] I don't know where he was working but I don't know of any mill operations that were operating between '29 and '30.
- 1929
So far as you know virtually everything was shut down in '29 and '30.
- 1929
Two large "Nash Quads" designed to run on large wooden rails flanged wheels kept the vehicle "on track." Neither vehicle was made operational prior to the 1929 shutdown. - C.

About 1929, the forestry curriculum on the major campuses of the West had developed in a number of states, and clubs were formed paralleling the development at Oregon Agricultural College.
- 1929
Map 23 shows horizontal forest cover patterns of Soap Creek Valley as documented in 1936 by aerial photographs (see Figs. 26 and 29).
- 1929
Property lines and landowners are based on Metsker maps from 1929 (1929a; 1929b; 1929c). Owners are listed in Table D.3.
- 1929
Note the large increase in number of owner/residents since 1853, and that few family names are consistent with the list of 1853 owners (Table D.2). This indicates an active immigration and emigration on the part of landowners and residents during the first 75 years of Soap Creek Valley settlement.
- 1929
By the start of the Great Depression in 1929, much of Soap Creek Valley had been subdivided into smaller farms and ranches and fenced (see Figs. 27 and 28), or afforested to stands of Douglas-fir and oak (see Map 20; Chapter III).
- 1929
Lower Left. 1929: crops, firewood, homes, logs, plowed fields, wood fencing.

- 1930s
The meeting in Portland was an annual meeting of this society in the mid-1930's.
- 1930s
In some of the other forestry schools there was an occasional woman student, and I recall one that graduated in the 1930's.
- 1930s
During the late 1930's there was a CCC Camp in the area, also.
- 1930s
We carried on and the enrollment grew from just a handful in the early 1930's to about 400 students by 1940.
- 1930
Yeah, they improved it a lot about 1930 [1938: NV] or something.
- 1930
Okay, the Coopers put a mill in about 1930.
- 1930
I may be off a year, but I think they both had them in about 1930.
- 1930
I think Forest had owned the 60 acres for quite a while but I suppose they moved there in 1930 or something like that.
- 1930s
They knew that well this was in the '30's.
- 1930s
And Coote and Cornutt and Cooper came in about the same time, and Bennett Brothers about the mid '30's.
- 1930-1933
[In 1930-33 we grew navy beans, 14-15 acres.
- 1930 or 1931
[Eston Carter's house burned down during the dust storm in the spring of 1930 or '31.
- 1930s
But before, it was just -- I mean when somebody seen a deer, like in the 1930's, everybody hollered and called the others, "Look, look there's a deer!" I mean, it was really something to see.
- late 1930s and 1940s
[WILMA] That was after your time, that was in the late '30's and '40's, when I was going to school.
- 1930
Drought of 1930
Sources disagree
- 1930s
Oh, in the '30's, as far as I can remember back. And there wasn't any mink or beaver here at that time in any of these creeks.
- 1930s
So this is a type of domestic animal that came in during the 1930's during the Depression?
- 1930s
Yeah, they had plank roads, in fact, I remember during the Depression, the men used to put in the plank road, they wanted to keep working because they had to reach more
- 1930s
Yes. Because . . . like lots of times in the winter you . . . he couldn't operate all year round. He couldn't get the logs in the snow, at one time there was three feet of snow in this country, you couldn't do anything.
- 1930
You moved here about 1930?
- 1930s
Oh, they must. . . we must have with our timber holdings and everything, we must have lived out here, I came back to help them, I would say at least ten or twelve years or more.
- 1930s
So he was kind. . . some economic stability here during the depression?
- 1930s
Depression, yes. Sometimes the brokers would change their mind and not. . . see they sold in them days their lumber to brokers. And took the brokers price and then he'd sell it. But they were all right. None of our here in this country here, the way people weren't as closely knitted. If you started pulling crooked deals and
- 1930s
Yeah. There was a pioneer graveyard there was about two or three graves. When we left here, they were just about hardly distinguishable. Yeah, the Mennonites at one time lived here once and they moved out.
- 1930
About sixty years ago.
- 1930
So that would be 1930?
- 1930s
That would be 1930's?
- 1930s
Yes, we went through the Depression.
- 1930
The Depression really hit and we traded the ranch (10 acres) for 160 acres in Benton County, about twelve miles from Corvallis.
- 1930s
I returned to Oregon to the forty acres, due to severe depression in Steel work. My Dad was in Lakeview, Oregon working. I cut pulpwood. My Mother and I cared for the wood and garden raising.

JAMES HANISH Biographical Sketch And A Tour Of Berry Creek Benton And Polk Counties, Oregon: 1930-1938
- 1930s
In the 1930's it was called Folk Hill from these people, you are telling me it was Writsman's Butte and now it's called Smith Hill again.
- 1930s
Would that be in the 1930's?
- 1930s
Yeah, I'm just trying to get to the nearest ten years, I just wanted to know whether she played music in 1930's or 1920's or 1910.
- 1930s
Okay, I know the name of the family that lived here in the 1930's, but we didn't know the older family.
- 1930s
Neil Vanderburg, after a grueling interview regarding his family's history and his memories of the Berry Creek area during the 1930s.
- 1930
Cars up until about 1930 had babbitt connecting rods, and they were poured the same way.
- 1930
He died 11 February 1930 in Compton, CA.
- 1930s
Based upon a claim made by his father in the 1930s, Neil objected to the first draft of this map, which contained the USGS error.
- 1930s
Then the red fox. The first one I seen of them was in the, oh, late '30's.
- 1930s
And Kirk moved in here in the 1930's, took some. undeveloped property and built a house?
- 1930s
Yeah, '20's, '30's.
- 1930
So maybe they moved about 1930?
- 1930
The Wells Oregon Electric Substation, c. 1930 (often called "Wells Station't).
- 1930
I've got some maps of the trails in the 1930's in that area right up through 1945.
- 1930s
Oh yeah, yeah. Bullis [Lee Buffis from Medford. Managed Mt. States Power in Medford in mid-1930s - RC], and so on down there.
- 1930s
I know it became a tram road in the 1930's where the school house is now.
- 1930s/1940s
She was elderly when he talked to her; that must have been in the thirties or forties.
- 1930s
The next big step in gyppo logging was the beginning of tractor or "cat" logging in the 1930's.
- 1930/1932
McDonald, widow of a prominent San Francisco lumberman, donated the first of many gifts for additional purchases, and in 1932 the school forest was officially named McDonald Forest.
- 1930
They bought that hotel and that was about the time that it was all going to pot there, you know it was back in early 1930.
- 1930
We got the wrong trees marked for the riding crops story for one, and that story was in 1930.
- 1930
[CHUCK] Well, we left here in 1930.
- 1930
Because on the Berry Creek side, about 1930 or '31, we're getting the first cat logging and first log trucks, so it was a little bit earlier.
- 1930
The mill closed in the crash of 29 and did not resume operation by the time we departed in the spring of 1930.
- 1930

Another tradition established back in 1930 by the Forestry Club and the alumni of the Forestry School is the Fernhopper Banquet.
- 1930s
They had a woman who graduated in forestry back in the late 1930s, who, from what I’ve heard, did a good job, and went out and worked in the industry.
- '30s
He was late ‘30s, I think.
- 1930s
That was another part of the forest, during the 1930s, during the Depression, the CCC had built a camp at Peavy Arboretum.
- '30s
In the ‘30s?
- '30s
We’ve harvested and not, haven’t got a good regeneration back because we didn’t know how, or we let it go by chance, or economics were a factor sometimes—in the ‘30s, especially.
- '30s
What I remember my uncle telling me, back in the ‘30s, they had what they called an Arboretum Day.
- 1930s
And over just below the Forestry Club Cabin they’d had some levels of growing stock studied in there, and they planted 4 x 4, 6 x 6, 8 x 8, 10 x 10, 12 x 12, back in the 1930s, 1936.
- 1930s
Yeah, those were planted in the 1930s. [Unintelligible] planted those pine.
- '30s
Here in the pine they planted in the ‘30s.
- '30s
I don’t think we’d have fell it down the hill like that, I had an idea, back in the ‘30s especially
- 1930s
Do you think the area the Caffall Brothers logged and some of the areas in the Dunn Forest came up when the Indians stopped burning in the 1930s?
- 1930
As a result, many local families moved to other locations and The Valley’s population declined for several years (Hanish 1994; Vanderburg 1995).
- 1930-02-11
He died just about 1929 [February 11, 1930].
- 1931

This illustration appeared as the frontspiece to John B. Homer's 1931 text book, Oregon History and Early Literature, published by the J. K. Gill Company, Portland, Oregon.
- 1931
Well, you see we left the mill site in 1931.

- 1931-09-01
We moved to Utah and started on this new job September 1, 1931.
- 1932
This particular building was first used in 1932.
- 1932
Originally, it was for water, but it was replaced in 1932 with an electrical system (home built after World War I) to pump water.
- 1932
She said that this was constructed in 1932, and the previous school was constructed in 1899, and then I got this. . . there was a picture of another building here that she said was completed the previous year, but she said this school here was 1932.
- 1932
No that's 1932.
- 1932
I don't know when they started them, but of course Roosevelt started them and he went in in 1932, then I imagine it took him a couple years to get some of these programs going.
- 1932
Now you went to work there in 1932?
- 1932
there was the Soap Creek School down there that was built in 1932
- 1932
The one that's there now wasn't built until 1932, it replaced an older school.
- 1932
In 1932 he started work with the forest service out of Olympia in timber sales and fire control.
- 1932
This schoolhouse was not yet built when Charles and Norman lived in the Logging Camp. It is believed to have been built in 1932, the year after Chuck and Norm received certificates from Tampico School (p:23).
- 1932
For the records, the plot you are talking about was contained in a thesis by James Keeney, Master of Science thesis dated 1932.
- 1933
I believe it was 1933 to 1938.
- 1933
1933 or sometime about then.
- 1933
So when you. . . . about '33 or '34, before you left, there weren't any herefords that you could locate?
- 1933
might have been somewhere . . . get there and went into in '33, '34 . . . it was the early twenties I would say.
- 1933
And then you moved out in '33 or '34?
- 1933
Anyway, I made enough money I bought a 1933 Chevrolet truck then, so I was in the trucking business then.
- 1933
And I earned enough money that year to buy a 1933 Chevrolet truck that was only 4 or 5 years old, but it had been a logging truck and it was well used.
- 1933
This countryside is not good now. Long, long ago it was good country. They were all Indians who lived in this countryside. Everything was good. No one labored. Only a man went hunting, he hunted all the time. Women always used to dig camas, and they gathered tarweed seeds.

CCC Camp Arboretum is established adjacent to Oregon Forest Nursery
- 1934
Fact is, I was back there in 1934, and he had just wrote to my father how things were in Oregon and if there was a chance to come out.
- 1934
[Uncle Oswald and Les Davis (brother-in-law) and mother-in-law Davis came from Kansas in 1934.

The Dean's Cabin was built in 1935, and was on the slope of the hill where the tower is, to the south and west of the Arboretum area.
- 1935
That carried on until 1935 when several new programs were established in the Federal Service: the CCC program started in 1933, the Taylor Grazing Act in 1934, and the Soil Conservation Service in 1938 - all Federal programs.
- 1935
Until 1935 there were only three of us on the forestry staff.
- 1935
In 1935 the Head of the Department was offered a position with the Soil Conservation Service, and I was appointed Head of the Department.
- 1935
Then along about '35 Bennett Brothers built a sawmill up there.
- 1935
That was 1935 I think, the first time. Or was it 1936? Have I got a discharge? I don't remember, to tell you the truth on that.
- 1935
[KAREN] Yes, the first group came in around 1935.
- 1935
All right, then, it must have been the first time they ever signed anybody up. Even in Ohio, in 1935.
- 1935
They helped clear the site of the old State Capitol after it burned in 1935, and aided in the construction of the present building.
- 1935-1936
[JAKE] Oh, it must have been '35, because he was killed after I got back from my trip in '34, so about '35 and possibly '36.
- 1935
And then you were down in California maybe in the mid-30's?
- 1935
So it was sometime, the bad snow was sometime in the mid-30's maybe?

They didn't use those in 1935.
- 1935
We had a 1935 Diamond T bus which was practically brand new -- the pride of the Dorsey Bus Company.
- 1935
Zundt apparently was killed around 1935, several years after we left. - C.H.
- 1935
That was 34 and '35.
- 1935
I came back from a short stay in 1935 to take a cutting contract - lost my shirt, spent the next two years working for wages to pay my bills.

Social Security went into effect in 1936.
- 1936
And Folk had kinda the same job I did, he was on the Soil and Water Conservation Board of Directors, the same as what I was only back in 1936.
- 1936
I've heard '37, but it was a 1936 snow?
- 1936
The picture we looked at from 1936 showed a big barn down there where some pear trees are now.
- 1936
It's a possibility that we came down right past there, because the terrain looks familiar as a road coming out of the Chaffin place, but if there was a cabin in there in 1936 and '37 I walked right by it and didn't see it.
- 1936
Well, I don't know exactly what you want to know, but I have 1936 annual from Corvallis High School showing that Corvallis High School was way out in the country when I was in high school.
- 1936
My great uncle JBen Robbins] used one on the Lewis River in 1936 or '37.

- 1936
Douglas Gilliam poses next to his log truck in the Tillamook Burn, c. 1936.
- 1936
And you pointed out that the trees were misshapen due to a thick stand of young trees being pushed over by a heavy snow in 1936.
- '36
Well, the snow of ‘36 caused a lot of snow-break, and flattened some stands that were too thickly spaced.
- '36
Probably ‘36, ‘37— somewhere like that.
- 1936
In 1936 was the only difficult year that I can remember, and that year my dad was out of a job.
- 1936
It’d been planted by the CCC in 1936, and had been thinned by hand once and with horse once.

- 1936-02
My great-grandmother died in February 1936, grandpa in July of 1936, Grandma in June of 1937 and my father December, 1937.
- 1937
Did that snow in 1937 affect any of those animal populations?
- 1937
Then we went to Airlie to high school, and I went to Oregon State and I graduated high school in '37, or '33, and didn't get started at Oregon State till '37, on account of there weren't any money trees growing in the back yard in those days.
- 1937
Probably about '37 or sometime about then, and wages had begun to increase a little bit.
- 1937
I started in '37 and got through to the spring of '38 and then I had to lay out '38 and '39.
- 1937
Now, on your father, when you had a snowstorm in, was it 1937, on Berry Creek, did he compare that to that earlier one?
- 1937
It was almost as bad as the '37 snow.
- 1937
What did your dad say about the one in 1937?
- 1937
Yes, I came in 1937. I said in 1938, didn't I? I'm mistaken there.
- 1937
We had a new barn in 1937 and in 1941 we built the new barn and had it almost done except for the siding on two sides.
- 1937-1938
My folks know, I was in California at the time. And they wrote and told me they couldn't. . . in fact the ranchers had to go out and chop down fir trees for the sheep to eat the needles, there was no feed. It was just covered.
- 1937-1938
Yeah. They'd have to take the hay out of the barn and scatter it out somewhere, a lot of the sheep were lost because they got buried. It showed how quickly how much it snowed. My mother said my father shoveled a path out to the barn, our barn was about hundred and fifty feet away from the house, by
- 1937
In 1937, my father started for the barn from the house in the morning and it took him till noon to get over there.
- 1937
And that was in 1937?
- 1937
Well, let's put it this way, I went to work for them when I was about 14 which would have been 1937.
- 1937
No, 1937 or '38, right in there.
- 1937
But that would have been in about 1937 when that burned down, according to my calculations.
- 1937
[Snowstorm in 1937-1938] It happened that snow hit in January and the lambs are always born about the middle of January, and so there was a lot of lambs that didn't survive.
- 1937
Now, on the aerial photos from 1937 they show this being logged off.
- 1937
But the thing is, clear up until 1937, when the Fords put brakes on all four wheels, you had brake rods going to each wheel.
- 1937
Or they proved they could walk on water after Cronemiller Lake became available in 1937 and log-burling was added to the sports.
- 1937
A catastrophic snowstorm in 1937 killed hundreds of local sheep and other livestock (Dickey 1995), but had a lesser effect on local landowners than similar events in the 1800s and early 1900s.
- 1937
Catastrophic snowstorm kills livestock, crushes buildings in Soap Creek area
- 1937-01-01
Might have been '37 [According to Eugene Glender, the snowstorm began on January 1, 1937 and continued for 2 or 3 weeks], but it was while we lived there.
- 1937-04-17

In 1938 he became the first dean of the School of Forestry at U.S.U. and the first Utah State Forester, serving as both until 1942.
- 1938
In 1938 the Department was made into a School, and I was the first Dean.
- 1938
No. It was organized and recognized in 1938, and I was the first State Forester which was at that time called "State Forester - Fire Warden." So I had those duties.
- 1938
Then, in '38 I worked in the sawmill and I got a job when they slowed it down at Weinert, I got a job for Cooper bucking logs, short logs.
- 1938
Then in the summer of '38 another fellow that was working for Hap at the time and I decided that we could make more money up west of Dallas and so we went up and got a job, he got a job falling and I got a job bucking.
- 1938
It was in 1938 when I went to apply for teacher at the Berry Creek School.

- 1938
Right here [pointing to Woodley in 1938 CCC Camp Arboretum Group Photo].
- 1938
Now one of the Browns lived in that house that burned down in 1938.
- 1938
I would guess about 1938.
- 1938
Well, let's see, we moved here in '35, I would say '31, 1938.
- 1938
That would have been probably 1938.
- 1938
I would say that was about 1938.
- 1938
I think I was going to high school then, '38, something like that, '38 or '39.
- 1938
Just that Hildebrand bought it from Brown and then when it burned up, it burned three people up in it.
