MASSACRED FOR GOLD. An illustrated lecture by R. Gregory
Nokes, author of Massacred for Gold: The Chinese in Hells Canyon, is
scheduled for March 31 at the Portland Chinatown Museum. Massacred
for Gold details an 1887 incident in which as many as 34 Chinese gold
miners were massacred on the Oregon side of Hells Canyon. The robbery,
massacre, and cover-up by a gang of white horsethieves and schoolboys
was the worst crime committed by whites against Chinese immigrants in
the American West in the 19th century. Pictured is an image of an exhibit
about Chinese gold miners provided by the Historical Museum at St. Ger-
trude, Cottonwood, Idaho. (Photo courtesy of the Historical Museum at

“The Rose and the Chrysanthemum:
Japanese Influence on NW Architecture”
Mar 23, 10am, Architectural Heritage Center (701 SE Grand
Ave. Portland). Attend “The Rose and the Chrysanthemum:
Japanese Influence on NW Architecture,” a talk by Robert
Jordan, an education committee member at the Architectural
Heritage Center. Beginning in the late 19th century, a craze for
all things Japanese swept the United States. By 1910, Japanese
influence on Portland architecture had begun to take hold. The
arts and crafts movement was highly indebted to the Japanese
aesthetic, and it can be seen today in the thousands of bungalows
throughout the Portland area. Japanese influence was perhaps
even stronger during the mid-20th century and it continues to
this day in Portland architecture. For info, call (503) 231-7264 or
visit <www.visitahc.org>.
