that, then to Newport for a short
while, before finally heading
back to Eugene.
In January 1983, Dumas
garnered banner headlines in
the Register-Guard after the
discovery of his tree house in
Washburne Park at Agate Street
and 21st Avenue According to
the newspaper, the well
constructed abode was 40 feet
above the ground in a grove of
cedar trees. A sheet of black
plastic covered the 7-foot

by-5-foot structure as did tree
branches wired to provide extra
cover. Inside, police found a
foam pad bed, a blanket, socks,
shampoo, cough syrup, a New
Testament and a candle. But the
builder was not to be found.
With the help of a parks
department pruning truck,
authorities dismantled the
structure and clipped the lower
branches of the trees to prevent
the "owner” from reconstruc
ting the tree house.
The following day, Dumas
contacted a Register-Guard
reporter and told him that tear
ing down the tree house was
"an injustice.”
Refusing to identify himself
over fear he would be fined by
police, Dumas said, "There is a
reason for the laws that prohibit
people from staying in parks,
but the laws need to be more
flexible to allow people to pro
vide for themselves."
Dumas reappeared in the
news a year later when Register
Guard columnist Don Bishoff
revealed Dumas had taken over
"some sort of abandoned
building, somewhere inside the
city. At ground level."
Using the pseudonym "Mr.
T.," Dumas said he had moved
to the new locale soon after his
tree house had been discovered
and he had furnished the
building with pictures, lamps,
and electricity (the electricity
compliments of "a friend").
According to Dumas, he end
ed up living in the "abandoned

Bishow said.
The project is currently divid
ed into two phases. The first ex
plores alternatives for making
the 19th and Agate commercial
area more economically viable
for existing and potential
businesses, while maintaining
or improving compatibility
with surrounding
neighborhoods.
Included in this phase is the
idea to maintain or improve the
relationship between the
playground at the Condon
School site and surrounding
residential and commercial
businesses. Phase two involves
the implementation of phase
one strategies.
The project was approved
unanimously by the C1C.
