Bend Senior High School

Bend Senior High School (BSHS) is the oldest high school located in Bend, Oregon, United States. The school opened 122 years ago, in 1904, but did not graduate its first class of seniors (three students) until 1909. Old Bend High School, the original building, was located downtown on Bond Street, where the Bend-La Pine School District office now stands. The school's mascot is a lava bear. Admissions Sometime before 1989, the Brothers School District of Brothers sent older students to Bend High. Circa 1989, due to lower costs, it instead began sending older students to Crane Union High School. Academics In 2008, 80% of the school's seniors received a high school diploma. Of 406 students, 325 graduated, 50 dropped out, 12 received a modified diploma, and 19 were still in high school in 2009.

Benson Glacier (Oregon)

Benson Glacier was a glacier in the U.S. state of Oregon and the last active glacier in the Wallowa Mountains. Situated at an elevation generally above 8,500 feet (2,600 m) on the northeastern slopes Glacier Peak, a subpeak of Eagle Cap, it is now a stagnant ice mass. The glacier was named in honor of Frank W. Benson, former Governor of Oregon during an expedition in 1914. In the 1980s, when it was still an active glacier, Benson Glacier had an estimated area of 0.016 square kilometers. Benson Glacier was the last remaining remnant of Wallowa Glacier which extended 20 mi (32 km), creating the lateral moraines that created Wallowa Lake during the Last Glacial Maximum. Its ice is estimated to have been 2,000 ft (610 m) thick in places. The West Fork of the Wallowa River occupies the valley it left behind. See also List of glaciers in the United States References
Benson Tower (Portland, Oregon)

The Benson Tower is a residential high-rise building located in downtown Portland, Oregon, United States. It stands at a height of 250 feet (76 meters) and was completed in late 2007. It was named after the historic timber baron Simon Benson, as the tower was built on the site of his original residence. The Benson Tower has 26 floors and features 58 single bedroom condominiums, 92 two bedroom condominiums and 6 penthouses. Designed in the modern Vancouver, B.C. point tower style by Hancock Brucker, now IBI Group of Vancouver, B.C. and constructed by ITC Construction Group of Vancouver, B.C. The project attracted controversy from the local and international trade unions as it was built using open shop practices. ITC Construction Group is large general contractor with over 120 highrise towers to its credit in Western Canada and the Northwest USA.

Benton County Courthouse (Oregon)

The Benton County Courthouse is a courthouse building located in Corvallis, Benton County, in the U.S. state of Oregon. Built in 1888, the facility is regarded as the oldest county courthouse in Oregon still being used for its original purpose. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. History Construction The Benton Country Courthouse building includes a basement and four stories of functional rooms, housing county government offices and functioning court rooms. From the time of its construction in 1888, the spire of the courthouse has housed a gigantic clock, visible from four sides. Until 1953 the clock had to be wound by hand twice a week by a building custodian who climbed into the tower to manually raise the 650 pounds of weights which kept the device in operation. This process was modernized in 1953, when a small electric motor was installed to automate the process of raising the clock weights. Building purposes The basement of the courthouse has long housed the Benton County Elections Department, which under state law retained and stored ballot boxes and original ballots between one local election and the next. 1918 heating reconstruction By 1918 the original steam heating system had begun to fail after 30 years of use. Bids were taken and in August 1918 a contract was signed with a local plumbing firm for the installation of a completely new hot water heating system was installed based on the what was then new Durham system of threaded pipe and cast iron fittings. Only the original boiler was retained as part of the heating modification, which was completed that same fall. 1954 building remodel In 1954 the courthouse underwent a major remodeling, in which the large circuit courtroom was split in half, to form a new district courtroom, a judges' office, and a 182-square foot conference room. The orientation of the circuit courtroom was changed from east and west to north and south in its remodeled form and the ceiling was lowered by one-third, to a height of 16 feet. The newly remodeled 35-by-50 foot room is said to have retained much of its large feel, making use of mahogany plywood and a light green color scheme. The 1954 makeover was also used to eliminate some 20 brass spittoons which had adorned the courthouse's hallways and offices since its original construction. These were replaced with four modern sand urns for the disposal of cigarette butts.

T. W. Sullivan Hydroelectric Plant

Portland General Electric's (PGE) T. W. Sullivan Hydroelectric Plant is a hydroelectric dam on the Willamette Falls built between 1888 and 1895. It is the source of the nation's first long-distance power transmission. The plant first opened with Station A in 1889. In 1895 a second powerhouse was built on the same dam, Station B, and Station A was removed. Station B. In 1953 Station B was renamed after the engineer, Thomas Sullivan, who designed it and the nearby paper mills. The Willamette Falls Paper Company was on the northwest bank, whereas the Blue Heron paper mill was across the river in Oregon City. By that year, the plant was generating between 11,000 and 17,500 kilowatts, which it still does today. PGE's Sullivan Plant at Willamette Falls is one of only a few dozen hydro-plants in the country officially designated as "Green." In the 1920s a portion of the paper mill was put on top of the dam, which was demolished in 2024. History The oldest part of the dam is the 1873 Willamette Falls Locks. The rest was built later for Station A. The first batch of generators installed in Station B were massive Westinghouse alternators. They were the largest alternators built at the time and Westinghouse claimed they probably would not last 10 years. In 1911 several more Westinghouse alternators were added as well as a huge Allis-Chalmers generator 3 times the size of the first. A 1924 flood damaged half the turbines and the amount of generators had to be cut in half, including removal of the largest one. In 1947, a large part of the dam collapsed and had to be replaced. In 1953, another flood damaged the remaining original alternators. Currently there are 11 units from 1953 and two from 1924 operating inside. References External links Media related to T. W.

Big Creek Bridge (Oregon)

The Big Creek Bridge is a bowstring arch bridge that spans Big Creek on U.S. Route 101 in Lane County, Oregon. It was designed by Conde McCullough and opened in 1931. The bridge has a total length of 180 ft (55 m) and contains one 120 ft (37 m) reinforced concrete tied arch, identical in design to Ten Mile Creek Bridge and Wilson River Bridge. The locations for all three bridges were similar in that the sandy foundations were not secure enough for the abutment piers required to relieve the lateral pressure of traditional arches. The flood levels of the rivers approached the road grade and ruled out the use of reinforced concrete girders. The corrosive salt air eliminated the practicality of steel truss bridges. The design of the bridge was similar to the rainbow arch design patented by James Barney Marsh. The bridge, along with the Ten Mile Creek Bridge and the Wilson River Bridge, was rehabilitated in 1996 to increase the overhead clearance and add a cathodic protection system to protect the embedded steel reinforcement against the corrosive air. A project to replace the cathodic protection system began in February 2014.

The trail passes Echo Lake before reaching Billy Jones Lake. The first 5 miles (8.0 km) (of 8 miles (13 km)) are heavily traveled in the summer and fall. However, the last three miles are lightly used, and are exceptionally difficult to climb, rising 2,400 ft (730 m). References
Bishop's House (Portland, Oregon)

Bishop's House is a historic building in downtown, Portland, Oregon. It is in the city's Yamhill Historic District. When the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese was moved to Portland from Oregon City, Archbishop William Hickley Gross constructed the Bishop's House as his official residence. Part of the property the cathedral was built upon was donated by Benjamin Stark. Seventeen years later, in 1879, the Bishop's House, the official residence of Archbishop William Hickley Gross, was constructed next door. Both the cathedral and the Bishop's House were built in the neo-Gothic style. The granite foundation of Bishop's House was quarried in Northern Montana and transported down the Columbia River. By 1878, noting the size limitations of the then-existing cathedral and the expanding population into the area, "the need for a new, more elegant cathedral became apparent." Dedication of the new pro-cathedral site, situated at 15th & Davis, occurred in 1885. Plans and construction, however, were already underway to construct a new episcopal residence next-door to the existing cathedral. The Bishop's House was completed in 1879. It did not, however, become the official episcopal residence until 1893 and then for only two years. By then, the new pro-cathedral construction was completed and the cathedral next door was demolished in February 1895. The episcopal residence was moved to near the new pro-cathedral the same month. A major renovation took place in 1965, and Bishop's House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. As of 2001, the building was occupied by offices, a Lebanese restaurant, and a startup named in its honor, Bishop House, LLC.

Boardman Coal Plant

The Boardman Coal Plant was a coal-fired power plant located in Boardman, Oregon. The facility had a nameplate capacity of 550 megawatts (MWs) and is owned by Portland General Electric. In 2010, the plant was the only remaining coal powered plant in Oregon and received much attention from regional media due to its being the largest single source of greenhouse gas emissions in the state with environmental groups such as the Sierra Club calling for its closing. In 2014, PGE built a new $500 million, 450 MW combined cycle natural gas power plant, named Carty Generating Station, next to the coal plant. In October 2020, Portland General Electric announced that the coal plant has been permanently closed and was demolished in 2022, ending Oregon's legacy of coal-fired power generation. Background The Boardman plant was authorized in 1975, just two years before the 1977 Clean Air Act amendments, which would have required the plant to meet stricter emission standards. When it was operating, the plant accounted for 65% of stationary SO2 emissions, and 7% of CO2 emissions in Oregon. The Boardman plant was one of PGE's largest power stations, producing 15% of the utility's electricity in 2009. Recent action Portland General Electric's original plan involved operating the plant until 2040; this would require installing over $500 million of pollution control equipment on the plant by 2017 in order to comply with federal and state clean air standards. In early 2010, however, PGE announced that they were considering an alternative plan for the Boardman plant that would close it in 2020. In April 2010, PGE decided to close the plant in 2020 to save $470 million in upgrades they would have been required to install had they kept the plant operating until 2040. The decision is contingent upon favorable decisions in a lawsuit and possible federal regulations. In December 2010, the state's environmental protection agency approved the plans for the 2020 closing. PGE started building a second gas-fired generating station at Boardman (the Carty Generating Plant) in 2014. The plant was being dismantled in 2021, with the structure being demolished in 2022.
