History [link]
The Oregon Lumber Company built a sawmill at Dee in 1906 and named it for Thomas Duncombe Dee, a stockholder and business associate of board member David Eccles.[2] Dee was also a station on the Eccles-owned Mount Hood Railroad.[3] In addition to the large sawmill, Dee had a privately owned water works and electric lighting system, as well as a general store, shops, and a hotel.[3][4]
Dee had a population of 250 in 1915 and 200 in 1919, and by 1940 the population had declined to 100.[3][5][6]
Dee was sold to the Edward Hines Lumber Company in 1958 and they dismantled the town.[5]
Besides logging, Dee's economy is also tied to the fruit-growing industry of the Hood River Valley. The area was one of the primary communities in the Hood River Valley farmed by Nikkei—Japanese migrants and their descendants.[4] The first Japanese in the area were hired as laborers on the Mount Hood Railroad.[4] They also worked at the mill and lived in the company housing on both sides of the East Fork Hood River, which passes through the town.[4]
About 35 Nikkei families lived in Dee in the 1920s and they founded the Dee Japanese Community Hall.[4]
Geography [link]
Lost Lake is reached by a route that begins in Dee. The area's fruit orchards lie between the east and west forks of the Hood River in an area known as Dee Flat.[7] The site of the old saw mill, of which only the foundations still exist because of a fire, can the seen on the edge of town.[citation needed] Dee is characterized predominantly by pear orchards dotted with farm houses about every 1/2 mile.[citation needed] The community is situated atop a small plateau unique[clarification needed] in the immediate vicinity, with unobstructed views of Mount Hood from nearly every household or building.[citation needed]
Economy [link]
Dee has a fluctuating population of migrant workers, mostly from Mexico, that increases greatly during the annual pear and apple harvest.[citation needed] Several families remain year round.[citation needed] Oregon Republican Senator Wayne Fawbush operated a blueberry farm in Dee for 20 years, which is still in operation.[8]

Oregon
Oregon (
i/ˈɔːrᵻɡən/ AWR-ə-gən) is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Oregon is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean, on the north by Washington, on the south by California, on the east by Idaho, and on the southeast by Nevada. The Columbia River delineates much of Oregon's northern boundary, and the Snake River delineates much of the eastern boundary. The parallel 42° north delineates the southern boundary with California and Nevada. It is one of only three states of the contiguous United States to have a coastline on the Pacific Ocean, and the proximity to the ocean heavily influences the state's mild winter climate, despite the latitude.
Oregon was inhabited by many indigenous tribes before Western traders, explorers, and settlers arrived. An autonomous government was formed in the Oregon Country in 1843, the Oregon Territory was created in 1848, and Oregon became the 33rd state on February 14, 1859. Today, at 98,000 square miles, Oregon is the ninth largest and, with a population of 4 million, 26th most populous U.S. state. The capital of Oregon is Salem, the second most populous of its cities, with 160,614 residents (2013 estimate). With 609,456 residents (2013 estimate), Portland is the largest city in Oregon and ranks 29th in the U.S. Its metro population of 2,314,554 (2013 estimate) is 24th. The Willamette Valley in western Oregon is the state's most densely populated area, home to eight of the ten most populous cities.
Oregon, Illinois
Oregon is a city in and the county seat of Ogle County, Illinois, United States. The population was 3,721 at the 2010 census.
History
The land Oregon, Illinois was founded on was previously held by the Potawatomi and Winnebago Indian tribes. In fact, later, settlers discovered that the area contained a large number of Indian mounds, most 10 to 12 feet in diameter.
Ogle County was a New England settlement. The original founders of Oregon and Rochelle consisted entirely of settlers from New England. These people were "Yankees", that is to say they were descended from the English Puritans who settled New England in the 1600s. They were part of a wave of New England farmers who headed west into what was then the wilds of the Northwest Territory during the early 1800s. Most of them arrived as a result of the completion of the Erie Canal. When they arrived in what is now Bureau County there was nothing but a virgin forest and wild prairie, the New Englanders laid out farms, constructed roads, erected government buildings and established post routes. They brought with them many of their Yankee New England values, such as a passion for education, establishing many schools as well as staunch support for abolitionism. They were mostly members of the Congregationalist Church though some were Episcopalian. Culturally Bureau County, like much of northern Illinois would be culturally very continuous with early New England culture, for most of its history.
Oregon (band)
Oregon is an American jazz and world music group, originally formed in 1971 by Ralph Towner (guitar, piano, synthesizer, trumpet), Paul McCandless (woodwind instruments), Glen Moore (double bass, violin, piano), and Collin Walcott (percussion, sitar, tabla).
History
Towner and Moore had been friends and occasional collaborators since meeting in 1960 as students at the University of Oregon. By 1969, both were working musicians living in New York; while collaborating with folksinger Tim Hardin they were introduced to world music pioneer Paul Winter's "Consort" ensemble, particularly member Collin Walcott, with whom Towner began improvising as an informal duo. By 1970 Towner and Moore had joined the Winter Consort and met fellow member McCandless; the four began exploring improvisation on their own, while their contributions continued to be seminal in redefining the Winter Consort "sound" in compositions like Towner's "Icarus".
The four musicians made their first group recording in 1970, but the label, Increase Records, went out of business before it could be released (it eventually was issued by Vanguard in 1980 as Our First Record). Oregon made its "formal" debut in NYC in 1971 (originally named "Thyme — Music of Another Present Era", the name change to Oregon was suggested by McCandless).

Gülümse Kaderine
by: TarkanDeğer mi hiç
Boş yere küsme düşlerine
İnan, onun da yanına kalmaz
Bırak gitsin, üzülme
Hayat sevenlerin yanındadır, unutma
Gülümse kaderine
Yak bütün fotoğrafları
O'na ait bütün eşyaları
Bu gece ümitlerini al koynuna
Gün doğmadan unut insafsızı (2x)
Unut insafsızı
Kader buluşturdu
Kader ayırdı
O aşka inanmadı
Sil gözyaşlarını
Sakın ağlama
O kalbinle oynadı
Hayat sevenleri korur
Ateşe atmaz
Gülüm, sana kıyamadı
Yak bütün fotoğrafları
O'na ait bütün eşyaları
Bu gece ümitlerini al koynuna
Gün doğmadan unut insafsızı (3x)
