Hi Laura, I checked the 1895 atlas for Oregon. There was a Clarks in Clackamas County at that time. It had a Post Office, no railroad. It didn't show the population. I checked the Clackamas County map but didn't see it. Hope this helps.

I was given a photo of a tw story home, obviously not close to a city, and told by the second generation people, that this was the first KAYSER home after leaving South Dakota. I was told it was in Clarks, Oregon, date, 25 Jun 1927. Just checked RootsWeb counties for towns, and my AAA map and found no Clarks, Oregon. In fact, they show absolutely nothing "Clarks or Clarks+" in Oregon. GNIS came up with Clarksville, Baker Co., That COULD be it perhaps, as they were coming from the east and the family ended around Portland, and eastern Washington. Does anyone have any other ideas??
