On this day in 1935, the southern Oregon town of Jacksonville, site of the state's earliest gold mines, took on a strange appearance as 40-year-old mine timbers began giving way under the strain of heavy rains. The city council threatened to take legal action against property owners held responsible for tunneling under the streets. ...and...on this day in 1938, Oregon humorist and illustrator James Cloutier got his start in Portland by being born.
