In a statement before the Subcommittee on HUD-Independent Agencies of the House Committee on Appropriations, Congressman Les AuCoin advocates for the proposed replacement of V.A. hospital facilities in Portland and Vancouver. This is one of a collection of digitized objects from the Les AuCoin Papers (MS.147) at the Pacific University Archives. AuCoin served in the Oregon House of Representatives (1971-1975) and in the United States House of Representatives from Oregon's 1st District (1975-1993).

This photograph is part of the Charles Lovell and Winnette Sears Walker Collection. Winnette was a 1906 alumna of Linfield College. Charles was an alumnus of Tualatin Academy who later became a musician and an insurance agent in Hillsboro, Oregon.
Black and white image of a three adult women, a girl, and a man walking down a poured sidewalk in a business district. The women wear fitted suits with long, bustled skirts and large, flat hats with ornamentation. The girl wears a knee length skirt and a similar hat. In the street nearby, a woman rides a tricycle with the smaller, single wheel in the front and two sticks for steering control. Women of this era often rode tricycles because of their relative ease of handling, given the restrictive clothing custom required. The closest building across the street is identified by signs and advertising as 'Dorland's Music House,' which was located in Vancouver, Washington. Most of the businesses along the street have awnings over their main windows, and power poles with numerous arms dominate the visible skyline.
