James Clinton (sternwheeler)
''James Clinton'' was a steamboat which operated on the upper Willamette River from 1856 to 1861. Although the ''Clinton'' was said to have been "not a very good boat.", it was the first steamer ever to reach Eugene, Oregon. ''James Clinton'' was destroyed in April 1861, when a large fire broke out at Linn City, Oregon in a shoreside structure near to where the vessel was moored. Construction ''James Clinton'' was built at Canemah for the Yamhill River trade by Cochran, Cassedy & Co. The boat was designed to go to Dayton and Lafayette, on the Yamhill, during most of the year. Construction of the steamer was underway by April 5, 1856. The boat was expected to be placed in operation in June 1856. The builders were captains Cassidy, John Gibson, and John Wilson Cochran. ''Clinton'' was launched on July 19, 1856. At that time, the only steamers operating above Willamette Falls were ''Enterprise'' and ''Hoosier''.

Canemah (sidewheeler)
''Canemah'' was one of the first steamboats to run on the Willamette River above Willamette Falls. ''Canemah'' was the first steamboat to load grain at Corvallis, the first to carry the mail on the Willamette River, and the first steamboat in Oregon to suffer a fatal boiler explosion.Marshall, Don, ''Oregon Shipwrecks'', at 204, Binford and Mort, Portland, OR 1984 Design and construction ''Canemah'' was designed and built by Absalom F. Hedges (1817–1890), who settled at Canemah, Oregon, in 1844. Hedges saw that the volume of commerce passing down the Willamette was growing too great to be hauled by the canoes and flat boats that were being used in the late 1840s. Hedges and his partners had accumulated several thousand dollars and in late 1849 Hedges went east to arrange for the purchase of machinery for the steamboat he planned to build. In New Orleans Hedges bought two steam engines and arranged to have them shipped to Oregon around Cape Horn.Corning, Howard McKinley, '' ...

Relief (sternwheeler)
''Relief'' was a stern-wheel driven steamboat that operated on the Willamette River from 1858 to 1865. ''Relief'' ran for a short time on the route from Portland to Oregon City, Oregon.

Construction ''Relief'' was built in 1858 for the firm of Cassidy (or Cassedy) & Co. The steamer was reported to have been well-built. ''Relief'' was built at Linn City, Oregon, across the Willamette River from Oregon City, where another steamer, the Carrie Ladd was being built at the same time. Construction was under way by early April, 1858. The original owners were also referred to as O’Loughlin and Company and as Cassedy, Athey, O’Laughlin, Sturtevant & Co. Design ''Rel ...

Trespass
Trespass is an area of tort law broadly divided into three groups: trespass to the person, trespass to chattels, and trespass to land. Trespass to the person historically involved six separate trespasses: threats, assault, battery, wounding, mayhem (or maiming), and false imprisonment. Through the evolution of the common law in various jurisdictions, and the codification of common law torts, most jurisdictions now broadly recognize three trespasses to the person: assault, which is "any act of such a nature as to excite an apprehension of battery";''Johnson v. Glick'', battery, "any intentional and unpermitted contact with the plaintiff's person or anything attached to it and practically identified with it"; and false imprisonment, the " or of freedom from restraint of movement".''Broughton v. New York'', 37 N.Y.2d 451, 456–7 Trespass to chattel does not require a showing of damages. Simply the "intermeddling with or use of … the personal property" of another gives cau ...

Land Claim
A land claim is defined as "the pursuit of recognized territorial ownership by a group or individual". The phrase is usually only used with respect to disputed or unresolved land claims. Some types of land claims include aboriginal land claims, Antarctic land claims, and post-colonial land claims. Land claims is sometimes used as a term when referring to disputed territories like Western Sahara or to refer to the claims of displaced persons. In the colonial times of the United States American men could claim a piece of land for themselves and the claim has different level of merit according to the de facto conditions: # claim without any action on the ground # claim with (movable) property of the claimant on the ground # claim with the claimant visiting the land # claim with claimant living on the land. Today, only small areas of unclaimed land remain, yet large plots of land with little economical value (e.g., in Alaska) can still be bought for very low prices. Also, in certai ...

Lancaster, Oregon
Lancaster is an unincorporated community in Lane County, Oregon, United States. It is located about two miles south of Harrisburg and two miles north of Junction City, on Oregon Route 99E near the Willamette River. History The first post office in the area was named Freedom, established in 1858. The name was changed to Lancaster in 1866 and to Junction City in 1872. It is likely the office was moved south two miles after the last renaming. About 1852 or 1853, a man named Woody started a "house of entertainment" (aka a roadhouse) at this locale, which he named "Woodyville". It was also known as Woody's Landing. The property was bought by Johnson Mulkey, who built a sawmill at the site and changed the name to Lancaster. The sawmill was still operating in 1861 and likely longer. Two stores operated at the site, which was chosen for its proximity to the southernmost navigable point on the river and a prosperous agricultural district, with hopes of the place becoming a viable tow ...

The Junction City area is notable for its Scandinavian heritage, with the city's Scandinavian Festival attracting over 100,000 visitors annually. Junction City was previously a center of recreational vehicle manufacturing. History The city was incorporated in 1872.

The westside line, however, was not built according to plan and the rail junction never materialized. Junction City later became the meeting point of the east and west branches of U.S. Route 99 (which divide in Portland). In 1902, real estate developer A.C. Nielsen subdivided 1,600 acres of farmland near Junction City into small farms and advertised them in a Danish-language newspaper in Iowa ...
