Oregon’s original Constitution to be
displayed in Baker City on Sept. 19
One of Oregon’s more sig-
nifi cant historical documents
— the state’s original Consti-
tution — will be on display
in Baker City Sept. 19 from 4
p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Cross-
roads Carnegie Art Center,
2020 Auburn Ave.
The public is welcome to
view the Constitution, which
rarely leaves Salem, accord-
ing to Secretary of State Bev
Clarno.
Because of the poor condi-
tion of the original docu-
ment, it had remained in the
Archives vault in Salem,
removed only on the state’s
birthday, Feb. 14.
In 2014, then Secretary of
State Kate Brown and State
Archivist Mary Beth Herk-
ert launched a fundraising
campaign, “Dimes for the
Constitution,” with Oregon’s
schoolchildren. That drive
raised $7,000 but much more
was needed.
In 2017, then Secretary
of State Dennis Richardson
worked with Herkert and
opened up the drive to all
Oregonians with a goal of
raising $100,000 to not only
restore the Constitution but to
also buy display cases so the
document could be viewed on
a regular basis.
The campaign surpassed
the $100,000 goal, and Herk-
ert delivered the Constitution
to the Northeast Document
Conservation Center in Ando-
ver, Massachusetts, where it
was restored.
“I am so pleased to provide
this unique opportunity for
Oregonians in the eastern
part of our state to view our
founding document,” Clarno
said.
Herkert, who’s now the
Secretary of State’s director
for civics education, will give a
presentation on the Constitu-
tion at 6 p.m. at Crossroads.
FIRE
within that perimeter.
This week the fi re was
most active at its northwest
and southeast corners, based
on an infrared map.
At the northwest corner
the fi re burned hottest west
of Cheval Lake and in the up-
per part of the Last Chance
Creek drainage.
To the southeast the fi re
burned near Wild Sheep
Creek, spreading into an
area of lodgepole pine trees
with a thick layer of dead and
downed timber.
Reducing the amount of
that fuel is one of the main
benefi ts of the fi re, Wing said.
Allowing lightning fi res to
perform their historical roles
is a key reason the Forest
Service has had a policy for
more than 25 years allowing
blazes that meet certain cri-
teria to burn naturally in the
Eagle Cap, Oregon’s biggest
wilderness at 365,000 acres.
One of those criteria is that
the fi re poses little risk of
spreading outside the wilder-
ness, and Wing said that
threat remains remote with
Granite Gulch.
The incoming autumnal
weather makes such an out-
come even less likely.
Based on the forecast,
offi cials decided to allow a
spot fi re to burn on the south
side of the Minam River, near
its confl uence with the Elk
Creek tributary.
Offi cials had been calling in
a helicopter to drop water on
that part of the fi re.
“It was decided that now
is an appropriate time to
allow it to grow,” Wing said,
referring to the part of the
fi re south of the Minam.
The potential for the fi re to
expand beyond the wilder-
ness from this new growth is
very low due to the bare rocky
nature of the upper portions
of Elk Creek.”
The other major fi re in
Northeastern Oregon, the
204 Cow fi re in the southwest
corner of Baker County, is
55% contained.
The fi re, started by light-
ning Aug. 9 on the Malheur
National Forest, has burned
about 8,800 acres.

A record 636 students are enrolled at Baker Senior High
School, according to James Evans, 5J superintendent, and

The hallways of Brooklyn Primary were fi lled with
people of all ages Tuesday morning for the fi rst day of
classes.
Some were students who will be attending classes at
the school this year and others were tagalongs who are
yet to fi ll the seats of kindergartners. Still others were
there in their roles as parents, grandparents, other family
members and friends dropping students off or making
last-minute registration adjustments.
Jury Felton, 8, a third-grader in Krystyl Snodgrass’
classroom, was accompanied on his fi rst day by his mom
and dad, Desteni and Jesse Felton, and his two little broth-
ers, Justice and Jace. Three-year-old Justice was eager
to check out his brother’s school and appeared ready to
go with his backpack in place as he made friends with a
stuffed snake in the hallway.
“Not yet,” his mother said, “but he wants to.”
