Joseph L. Miller Papers
1909-1995
1971-1995
29 linear ft.:
51 document cases
2 card file boxes
7 oversize map folders
Papers include in-depth material on
Joseph L. Miller's crusade to collect and organize information on the Bull Run
Reserve and watershed and to expand public awareness of threats to its famed
pristine water through formation of the Bull Run Interest Group (BRIG) and
lawsuits he initiated against the U.S. Forest Service. Bull Run is the main
source of water for Portland, Or., and other smaller communities in the
area.
The papers are in
English.
Biographical Note
Joseph L. Miller (1910- ), a native of Chicago, trained as a medical
doctor. He moved to Oregon in 1940 with his wife, Amy, and opened a medical
practice in Portland. In 1948, the family bought 94 acres near the Bull Run
Reserve, in the vicinity of Marmot, Clackamas County, Oregon. There they built
a small cabin, mostly for summer camping, and in 1975 established a permanent
home on three acres. They donated the remaining 91 acres to the Portland
Audubon Society in 1977.
In 1971, Miller discovered that the United States Forest Service
(USFS) had, since 1958, allowed commercial logging in the Bull Run Watershed
and planned to open a 30,000-acre area for recreational purposes in spite of a
1904 Trespass Act which prohibited these activities. Miller attended a public
meeting that drew so much opposition that the USFS and the Portland Water
Bureau withdrew the recreation development plan. After that meeting, Miller
began a systematic effort to collect and disseminate information on the Bull
Run Reserve to focus public attention on the need for watershed protection. In
1974, he organized the Bull Run Citizens' Advisory Committee, which evolved
into the Bull Run Interest Group (BRIG) by 1975. BRIG was active at varying
levels until about 1993. Miller was most concerned about the secrecy and lack
of public information and input that he believed characterized the activities
of the USFS and Portland Water Bureau, which managed the Bull Run
Watershed.
In 1973, Miller and two co-plaintiffs initiated a class-action lawsuit
against the USFS for allowing public access and logging in violation of the
Trespass Act and won their case. However, in 1977 Congress nullified the act,
and new legislation, introduced by Rep. Robert Duncan and Sen. Mark Hatfield of
Oregon, specified that the Bull Run Reserve could be managed by the Forest
Service according to prevailing multiple-use principles. Use of the watershed
need not be confined to water production, though that use was supposed to be
primary.
Miller's crusade to restore the protections of the Trespass Act
continued after 1977, and, with the public scrutiny that he inspired, serious
degradation of the watershed diminished. His efforts included further
litigation to stop what he considered to be dubious timber sales after
“blowdowns.”
Papers include in-depth material on Joseph Miller's crusade to collect
and organize information on the Bull Run Reserve and watershed and to expand
public awareness of the threat to its famed pristine water through formation of
the Bull Run Interest Group (BRIG). Also included is documentation of the
lawsuits he initiated against the U.S. Forest Service (USFS). Because he
collected correspondence, reports, and other materials from practically every
agency and person involved with the Bull Run Watershed, the collection
represents many different perspectives on the issues involved.
Included in the collection are Miller's personal version of the BRIG
Open File that was established and continues to be available to the public in
the Government Documents section at the Multnomah County Library's Central
Branch (Portland, Or.), plus copies of lawsuits and correspondence generated in
attempts to change USFS timber sale and logging practices. Subject files cover
these issues and contain research materials from many sources, including USFS
and Portland Water Bureau information and correspondence, Miller's
correspondence and explanatory notes, environmental impact statements,
newspaper clippings, and reports.
The papers are organized into the following series and subseries based
on their original order:
- Series A: Bull Run Interest Group (BRIG), 1909-1993

Series A
Bull Run Interest Group
(BRIG)
1909-1993
1972-1990
Includes the records produced in the course of BRIG’s operations
and Joseph Miller’s version of the BRIG Open File of background materials that
was established at the Multnomah County Library, where they were indexed and
are available to the public. Miller’s idea was that the Open File would be “a
live, growing source of information on all sides of Bull Run issues. The file
is open for anyone to add information or views; for anyone to help seek and
index new material; for anyone to study.” The series includes background on the
development of the Open File and BRIG’s relationship with the Multnomah County
Library. The BRIG records primarily focus on actions and issues related to the
Bull Run Watershed, including the Little Sandy River. They reflect the
ups-and-downs of the organization from its start as the Bull Run Citizens'
Advisory Committee, including efforts to revive it in 1989-1990.
The series is arranged into two subseries: 1. Bull Run Interest
Group (BRIG) Records, 1974-1991, and 2. BRIG Open Files, 1909-1993.
Subseries 1

BRIG Open File
1909-1993
1972-1990
Includes a group of records covering the development of the BRIG
Open File at Multnomah County Library Central Branch. The Open File, which
follows, is a mix of original and photocopied materials, including articles,
bulletins, clippings, correspondence, newsletters, petitions, publications, and
reports of various kinds. A few original photographs were photocopied for the
files, and the originals were transferred to Org. Lot 1021, Joseph L. Miller
Photographs Collection. Several maps and other oversize items that were folded
into the files were unfolded and removed to oversize storage for preservation,
as noted in the folder list.in the original numerical order.
The Open File is in original numerical order. A few numbers are
not represented in this collection, as noted in the container list, but they
may be found at the Central Library. Author, title, and subject card indexes,
keyed to these numbers, are located in Boxes 23 and 24.

Joseph L. Miller's Litigation and
Subject Files
1931-1990
1976-1978
Includes documents and other records related to legal actions and
appeals of U.S. Forest Service (USFS) management practices on the Mount Hood
National Forest. The first was a class action lawsuit filed by Joseph L. Miller
and others against the Forest Service and its management of the Bull Run
Watershed in violation of the Trespass Act (Miller vs. Mallory, filed in 1973).
After the Trespass Act was repealed by Congress, Miller and others once again
initiated a class action lawsuit, Miller vs. Robertson, filed in 1977, in an
attempt to stop several USFS "blowdown" timber sales. Miller also appealed the
USFS Bull Run Watershed management plan in 1979
The series is arranged into four subseries: 1. Lawsuit, Miller vs.
Mallory, 1931-1978; 2. Lawsuit, Miller vs. Robertson, 1976-1979; 3. Appeal of
Forest Service Bull Run Watershed Management Plan, 1979; and 4. Bull Run
Watershed Management Research Materials, 1929-1995.

Forest Service Management Issues on
Bull Run Watershed
1983-1992
Even after lawsuits and appeals were decided, Joseph L. Miller
kept close watch on U.S. Forest Service management of the Bull Run Watershed,
particularly its "blowdown" timber sale program for salvage logging, collected
background material, and made numerous inquiries and protests to the U.S.
Forest Service, as reflected in the papers in this series.
Series arrangement follows Joseph L. Miller's original order.

Little Sandy River Watershed
Issues
1973-1992
Joseph L. Miller believed that the Little Sandy River Watershed
should be protected to provide a quality water supply for the town of Sandy,
Or., and a backup water supply to Bull Run for the City of Portland, Or.
Instead the city chose wells for backup. The series reflects Miller's activism
on these issues and contains a quantity of background information he
collected.
Series arrangement follows Joseph L. Miller's original order.

of Bull Run and Little Sandy River Watershed management and water quality
issues. Also included are records of his activities with the City Club of
Portland and correspondence of Miller and associates that is not included
elsewhere in the collection.
The series is arranged into six subseries: 1.

call to action on various Bull Run Watershed logging and water quality
concerns. The title derives from his book,
What Good Is Free Speech in a Closet? : A
story of Cover-up in Planning for our Grandchildren's Drinking Water,
published in 1985. The typescript newsletter ranged from a single two-sided
letter-size sheet to several pages per issue, sometimes including attachments.
Included are two complete sets of the newsletter and reader responses.
