A 50-year-old replica of Lewis and Clark's Fort Clatsop burned to the ground earlier this month. But archeologists see the blaze not as a tragedy, but as an opportunity to find actual evidence of the Corps of Discovery.

Portland Mayor Seeks To Create A Safer Downtown
Portland Mayor Tom Potter announced a plan Tuesday to crack down on panhandling and property crimes downtown.
Police officers will start by targeting aggressive panhandlers, drug dealers, and people who commit property crimes near the bus mall and Pioneer Courthouse Square.
